Chef Preserve Compact Vacuum Sealer for Food Vacuum Sealer Machine 30 Reusable Vacuum Bags Powerful Handheld Vacuum Sealer

Glad to purchase the food vacuum sealer. The product is well made. It doesn’t sound loud when turned on for vacuum sealing. The bags are well made and don’t smell. It’s very simple to use. Hopefully it will be a reliable product. Only time will tell. Update 10/11/25: I have used the Chef Preserve vacuum and the bags since my Amazon purchase. What a game changer having the vacuum sealer that’s so easy to use for food storage. It’s like having a new toy when I was a child that I just didn’t want to put away. I ordered more smaller storage bags. The bag sealing was very good, but I did have one medium bag not stay vacuum sealed in the refrigerator. After about a week after I sealed the food, it inflated. Here are tips that I learned using the bags: 1. Make sure to seal the bag using the small white plastic bag sealer. I then put the bag on a flat surface and use my thumb to press against the top opening, checking for any leaks. 2. I held the bags upright and used the Chef sealer to take out the air inside the bag. This also helps when I put frozen food in the bag and watery condensation builds up, which can get sucked out by the Chef sealer. 3. If I see too much watery condensation building up inside the bag before I am ready to seal it, I use a paper towel to wipe dry the area around the white plastic attachment on the bag. I then seal the bag and use the Chef sealer to take out the air. 4. I handwash the bags with warm soapy water and let them air dry. 5. Plastic storage bags can absorb food smells due to their porous nature, which allows odors to cling to the material if the bags are not sealed properly or cleaned immediately after use. 6. I reuse the same bags for storing the same foods. Some food put in anything plastic will still have the scent of that particular food. Seasoning meat or fish placed the sealer bags will still have slight scent after you wash the bag. So, when I buy more fish or meat I use the same washed bags. Update 10/23/25: I noticed one bag in my refrigerator; the small bag size that had baby carrots in it was starting to inflate. I checked the top opening to make sure it was sealed, and it looked good. I used the Chef sealer to take out the air again. I decided to put a food label on the white round attachment after it was vacuum sealed. (See arrow.) I put it back in the refrigerator, and after several days it’s not inflating. It looks like adding a label on the white round attachment helps with some bags that don’t vacuum well. Read more

I like that it's very handy and easy to use. It sucks all the air out of the bag and it automatically stops when it's done. So far I have just used it for vegetables and they still look fresh after one week and because of the tight seal, i think they will last for about three more weeks. I just ordered some large bags which I intend to use for meat. I will give an update after I used it on meat. As far as durability is concenred, this product feels be of high quality and will last for a long time. Read more

Ive only used it a few times, but So far i love this. Yes, its a bit of a hassle to clean the bags, but worth it, knowing i don’t have to keep buying bags. Im really happy that it doesn’t take up much space. It works well and is much quicker than I expected. The packaged meats take up less space in my freezer, are easy to stack, and you can see exactly whats in each bag My only point of contention is the price if the glass containers. I’d love to purchase some, but the pricing is a bit prohibitive. It also gives me confidence that it comes with a two year warranty. Read more

So far very good. Very easy to use and performs as advertised. Great for air sealing brown sugar which is notorious for drying out. My wife laughed because I was looking for extra items to seal. Hopefully, this will allow me to give two thumbs up again six months from now. Read more

Not the strongest suction but pretty darn good for the size and what you pay. Love being able to reuse the bags. Gets the job done. It runs thru a charge pretty quick but recharges reasonably quickly. Very handy and convenient. Read more

Update: I absolutely love this product. It’s small, easy to store away. Love that you can open the bags, take out some, and reseal! Going to save me a lot in not wasting food! This product is amazing! Very easy to use. I just received it and already sealed up several bags. I buy a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables and many go bad before I can eat them. Love that you can seal them up, take some out to eat, and then reseal the same bag! I’ve been thinking about getting a vacuum sealing system for some time. I’m so glad I waited and bought this one. A+ product. Highly recommend! Read more
