Mainstays Vacuum Sealer, Black

Very easy to use and small enough to store with no issues. Easy button to press that are labeled so you know what you are doing. The seal on the bags is phenomenal, I tested the seal a few different times. The bags are way more durable than your typical freezer bag. I would suggest this product to anyone looking for a press and seal machine.

The Mainstays Food Works Professional Vacuum Sealer is an incredible tool for preserving food. The packaging was secure and included clear instructions. Its built-in roll storage and bag cutter make customization super easy and convenient. The sealing and vacuum suction performance is strong and reliable, keeping air completely out. It features simple settings for different food types, and cleaning the unit afterward is quick and hassle-free. High quality and a great addition to the kitchen!

I was really impressed with how user-friendly this vacuum sealer is. The instructions were super clear, and I had it up and running in no time. One of my favorite features is the built-in storage for the vacuum seal roll, it’s so convenient to keep everything in one place. Plus, the built-in cutter is a game-changer! It makes prepping bags really fast and easy. Definitely a solid choice if you're looking for a reliable sealer without breaking the bank.

The vacuum sealer works very well. it does not "feel" as heavy duty as our previous sealer, a different brand, that stoped working after a few years, but so far it performs very well. Our daughter bought one for own use, and after using hers, we decided to purchase our own. We like the pulse function. We like the roll of vacuum packaging fitting in the sealer, but we will probably buy our own off brand because it is less expensive. We just have to store and cut it separately. One tip we have is to pre-freeeze items like baked goods and fruit. This prevents baked goods from getting. mushed / sucked flat, and all the juice from getting sucked out of the fruit. We lay sliced strawberries on a line sheet pan, freeze them, the vacuum seal them to freeze for future use. Works great! We recommend this Vacuum Sealer. it is a good value, and seals well.

This unit seals well, but the vacuum power is severely lacking. I tried all of the different modes, and it leaves substantially more air in the bags than any of my other vacuum sealers. This may be good for moist/wet items, but not ideal for dry items. I cannot recommend this vac sealer.

I have never used one of these before, but was disappointed that it didn’t suck the air out any better than I can achieve by pressing air out of a regular ziplock bag. I am returning it and going to try a Nescoe brand. I have been pleased with their products before, but was trying to save money.

Walmart will not let me return this item. Total waste of money. It doesn't seal at all. You are better off getting freezer bags. Much cheaper than this horrible unit. Spend the money %26 get a name brand, not Mainstays. I've tried this unit 10 times. It either doesn't seal the bag initially or it doesn't suction the air out of the bag before it seals. Completely useless!!!

This item did not work properly from the time I brought it home. The unit would vacuum just fine but when it switched over to seal the bag, it would let air back in. When I called the number provided on the operator's manual, I was told that they have no idea how they became the contact for the warranty on this unit and it would be best if I just returned the unit.

Vacuum sealer doesn’t seal correctly, it vacuums it half way with very little power and when it goes to seal the bag it lets air back in completely defeating the purpose of a vacuum sealer

hard to operate. suction not complete
