Best Vacuum Sealers

Reducing waste is as important as saving your time and money. This appliance boasts an innovative technology that works to minimize bag material waste up to 40% compared to traditional FoodSaver models. Besides, the unit has a sleek and compact design allowing you to save your working space as well. You can vacuum foods in bags made of the included roll and heat-seal bags, or use other accessories, like zipper bags and canisters - the unit has a special port on its top and comes with an accessory hose. It also has an ergonomic clip port for handheld sealer storage if you decide to buy one additionally.

In spite of its portable size, the appliance has most of the user-friendly features you can find in more expensive models, such as a patented easy-clean drip tray and a seal button to make custom-sized bags from the FoodSaver roll. It creates an extra-wide sealing strip to make sure the package is airtight. Fruit, veggies, poultry, fish, and meat will be well protected to keep fresh and delicious for a long time. In a word, versatile, innovative, and compact, the FoodSaver FM2000-FFP gives you more opportunities to save.

One of the biggest concerns with most kitchen appliances is that they are quite bulky, needing quite a lot of storage space. With the Anova Culinary ANVS01-US00 Vacuum Sealer, you won't encounter this kind of issue, as it's a pretty petite device. In general, it measures just about 16.73 x 4.8 x 3.14 inches, which makes it a good fit for any kitchen.

However, size isn't the only asset of this model. In addition to being compact, the Anova Culinary Vacuum Sealer offers quite a remarkable performance. It works on a 110 voltage, allowing it to effortlessly seal bags full of food at the press of a button, making preparing your meals in advance a breeze. Moreover, it shows great efficiency at preventing the air from entering bags. Thanks to this, you can not only extend the shell life of foods, but also keep them flavorful and juicy for a long time.

Due to its great vacuuming capabilities, the ANVS01-US00 proves to be a great option for vacuum sealing nearly any food you can think of, starting from chicken, lamb, pork, fish, eggs, or vegetables or even sous vide cooking. More to that, this little thing is an ideal candidate for sealing stuff such as coins, paper products, photos, small electronics, matches, batteries, and many other emergency items that require protection from tarnishing and damage while being stored. So, despite its small dimensions, this vacuum sealer is a real work horse.

Most vacuum sealers look pretty good, resembling expensive stainless steel appliances even when they're anything but expensive. Even so, the NutriChef PKVS20STS has to be the sleekest vacuuming/sealing unit we've reviewed yet. Its chrome finish, somehow looking both rough and polished at the same time, puts the machine head and shoulders above its premium competition (from the appearance perspective, not quite there performance-wise). From everyday modern kitchens to the most upscale decorative schemes, the unit will be able to blend and, at times, even elevate these settings. Plus, the housing is also stain- and scratch-resistant, which means the machine will not be absorbing spills and will prove easy to upkeep.

Even more impressive is the model's size. Measuring 5.91 x 14.18 x 3 inches, the unit easily lands among the most compact vacuum sealers, occupying almost no space, so you do not have to worry about this appliance imposing on that precious kitchen space you want to conserve.

Setting aside its footprint and construction though, the machine is not that different from most sealers. Also, the instructions are pretty generic, but considering that the model's not exactly brimming with features, this issue is less than negligible.

The Mueller Austria MU-VACSEAL starts off strong, coming at an affordable price yet looking like something that is anything but affordable. Sure, when you reduce the retail price to ~60 bucks, certain compromises become unavoidable. To name one, the touch buttons are too sensitive, so sensitive that even brushing fingers across them will, at times, activate the settings. To name two, the embedded LED lights next to these buttons become practically invisible under direct sunlight and in ample ambient light, which is unfortunate but, needless to say, not that concerning.

Even counting these though, the case that the product makes is quite compelling. First, the machine is made from tough ABS plastic, adding the stainless steel plate to the mix to make the housing practically immune from stains so that you do not have to worry about any accidental spills ruining the finish. Second, you're offered the same features that the model's more expensive relatives are normally adopting.

This is not the most ergonomically sound machine yet not the bulkiest unit too. Measuring 16.6 x 7.8 x 4.7 inches, most countertops will accommodate its footprint without forcing you to sacrifice more space than you're comfortable with. Besides, capping at 2.2 pounds on the weight scales, the model enables easy relocation.

The Nesco VS-12 looks interesting, not the word that we would normally use to describe any kitchen appliance but the word we're going with nonetheless. Its footprint and outline are not especially streamlined but there are good reasons behind the appearance sacrifice.

First off, the machine comes equipped with this nice little built-in storage compartment where you can put rolls and vacuum bags, making them easily and comfortably accessible anytime. The massive handle locks automatically, enabling hands-free sealing.

You can separate the machine's features and review/break them down but it makes more sense to address the well-thought-out construction designed from the inside out as these features go. We'll start with the viewing window above the controls that lets you peek inside and observe the progress, watching the bags getting sealed to avoid spillage.

That being said, you probably won't have to worry much about spillage since the tab guides will secure improved bag positioning, enabling better sealing. From where we're standing though, the biggest standout feature is probably the membrane-covered push buttons since they do not trap debris and let you easily clean the surface. Although you can just as well suggest that this title belongs to the built-in cutter that slides out so that you do not have to use separate imprecise cutting tools like scissors, minimizing waste.
