  • Tremendous Food (and Time) Saver
Style: Vacuum Sealer Size: Compact (Pack of 1)
I bought this as I was losing to many 'family pack' meats from the grocery or COSTCO to freezer burn. It's only the two of us, and I'd buy those family size packages only to use a few today, then lose the rest in the freezer. Especially with as expensive as food is today, a real bummer. I bought the VS-12P from Amazon, and it's a game changer for me. Well-built, easy to use, intelligent controls, EZ/PZ to use. Now I can break up these bulk packages to meal-size portions and vacpack and freeze with no worries. This stuff can now be put back just like canned goods, pasta, flour, etc. in the freezer until needed. Thaws easy in a cold water sink and comes out as fresh as the day I packed it. This is one of those 'WHY didn't I get one of these sooner' buys. It saves you having to go to the store every few days for fresh meat and produce, it's real unspoken advantage. Now I can go once a week or less. THAT's a huge time savings I never realized till I bought this. This is a great product, and I'd buy one or recommend one in a heartbeat. ... show more

  • Saves grocery money
Style: Vacuum Sealer Size: Compact (Pack of 1)
Bought this instead of smaller models or the ones on tv (if you order in the next 30 minutes). We would rather spend a little more for something that is going to last. We have had this dealer for a few months with absolutely no issues. It is easy to use for just about any type of food. Once you get the hang of it you can seal items very quickly. We have had meat that was sealed in the freezer for several months with absolutely no freezer burn. While packing the freezer we came across other items in regular freezer bags that had to be thrown out. The only minor (very minor) complaint is the sealing surface is about 2 inches above the counter top leaving 2 choices. One, cut the bags to a longer length or second, get a box from the pantry lay it down against the sealer and now the bag is level with the sealing strip resulting in not having to use long cut bags. ... show more

  • Seems great. Time will tell.
Style: Vacuum Sealer Size: Compact (Pack of 1)
UPDATE 4-22-2024 Sealer is holding up, but doesn’t pull as strong of a vacuum as it did at first. I feel like the pump is slowly diminishing. The sealer itself gets a tentative 5 star rating, as I’ve only had it a week. The company (or maybe the reseller, or maybe amazon) jacked the price up 40% after a positive mention on a popular TV show. This is not cool. I guess sales slowed, so the price is now back to within a few bucks of what it was before. Pros: It’s quiet. My last sealer was a seal a meal that sounded like someone was jackhammering concrete. This one just makes a quiet purring noise. It’s more convenient. With the last one I had, in order to double seal both ends of a bag from a roll I had to do 4 complete vacuum cycles. With this one, I just seal the bottom (one shot double seal and no need to run the vacuum motor) fill the bag, then vacuum and seal. Pulse vacuum. This is awesome. For moist foods, just vacuum til the juice starts to rise, then seal. Works great for sous vide, where you really just need a snug seal where the food is in good contact with the bag. Also great for delicate foods, as the “gentle” mode is a little stout for things like pastry and bread. Vacuum is quite strong. I was a little dubious as the pump is so quiet, so I vacuum sealed an empty beer can. While it didn’t flatten it completely, it sufficiently squashed it to convince me it was a fairly high powered pump. Cons: The touch pad is a little cheap feeling. Sometimes takes multiple tries to get it to perform the desired function. The countdown timer, while seemingly convenient, is a bit of a gimmick. It sits at 9 seconds for 15-20 seconds THEN counts down from 9 to 0. And that 9 second countdown has ranged anywhere from 14 seconds to the advertised 9 seconds. Overall it seems like the best for its price range. We’ll see if it outlasts the 9 months my old one lasted. ... show more

  • Good Sealer
Style: Vacuum Sealer Size: Compact (Pack of 1)
I had a Food Saver that was about 20 years old. While it still worked, it was starting to have issues. Did a lot of research and settled on this Nesco vacuum sealer. I put it right to work with about 50 bags of venison sausage, snack sticks, pulled pork, and ribs. It appears to be pretty heavy duty, but a little bulky compared to my FoodSaver. I like the stainless accent. It has great suction and the lid seal works well to prevent air from creeping back in, especially when using the pulse feature. After vacuuming and sealing you can hear air rush in when the lid releases. Love the fact it includes a pulse vacuum for when you are vacuum sealing liquids or softer items to prevent leakage or crushing. The double seal is the best feature. With my old FoodSaver I found myself sealing twice on each end to create a double seal to reduce chances of leakage, but with this one you just seal once to get the double seal. When reviewing various sealers I was a little concerned that the depth of the suction tray was too far back and would require using longer bags wasting roll material, however, the front edge is slanted so pictures are somewhat deceptive and it didn't take much extra length to reach. I often buy 50' bulk rolls that won't fit in the roll storage compartment (same thing with almost all sealers). However you can put the roll behind the sealer and feed it through the gap between the lid and under the cutter (saves from having to transfer material to another roll to make it smaller so it will fit). Now to things that weren't as good, although mostly minor: when you close and lock the lid there is a delay before you can push a button; it is fairly slow in making a seal; it includes 3 seal options, 2 of which are single and the last is double seal but each time you turn it on it defaults to a single seal and you have to push the button twice to select double seal (I suspect most will use the double seal so would be nice to have it as default); you have to push the buttons just right to get them to work, just because you hear the click doesn't mean it worked; the lift up cutter arm blends in making it hard to see when it is up and I often forget to put it back down when trying to close the lid; the drip tray isn't removable to wash but it is easily accessible to wipe out; while it came with a 8" and 11" bag roll, the 11" roll had wrinkles throughout the roll (would note with the double seal it didn't appear to cause issues). the sealer sits up a little higher which can require longer bags, but this can be remedied by putting something in front that is a similar height to lay the bag on; it doesn't have a cancel button in case there is an issue and you want to stop it; you have to wait a little while between each seal to allow the heat strip to cool off (others I've used you could do several seals before you had to let it cool off; I found that if I label each bag as it completes it was just enough delay to then seal another bag so I wasn't wasting time). While it could be improved I still believe it is a good sealer and would recommend it to others looking for a quality sealer with great suction and a true double seal. ... show more

  • I was wrong, I thought it as slow. But I LOVE THIS Nesco VS-12.
Style: Vacuum Sealer Size: Compact (Pack of 1)
(wrote this review over a span of a few hours while working. Hope it makes sense) I bought this Nesco after seeing so many reviews from companies picking this over the FoodSaver. I have been using FoodSaver for about 8 years, and I've gone through 3 different models, all top of the line models (at the time of purchase). I was ready to find something else that could be better and have a tight seal I ordered the VS-12 and set it up. It was smaller than the models of FS I had prior. I read and saw many people using the DOUBLE SEAL, and I started off using only the double seal. You couldn't go wrong double sealing anything. However, it was slow. VERY SLOW. SO slow, I thought there was a problem with the machine. Amazon sent me a replacement. Same "PROBLEM". What I didn't like about the FS was the amount of time it took to do the first seal on multiple bags. I hated that blink light when you insert the bag too early. However, doing the double seal on the Nesco was MUCH longer, I timed it, about 32-33 seconds from the time right after I sealed one to the time it will start sealing the next bag. I was frustrated and was going to return this Nesco. I just couldn't understand why there weren't reviews on how SLOW this machine is. I searched reviews with the word SLOW and found very few reviews. THEN A LIGHT BULB WENT OFF! The Foodsaver seals with a single line. I need to see how the single seal works with the Nesco to really compare apple to apple. Thus, I started using it in NORMAL mode. I was blown away at how tight the seal line was, and on top of that, how FAST it performed. I did NOT need to use the double seal feature. It is freaking nice to be able to do it if and when I want to do a double seal, but I do not see the need to go to that "extreme". Yes, it will be much slower, but you should expect that. The main thing is, in normal mode, this Nesco VS-12 will best everything the 3 FoodSavers I had could have done. I really do not see the need for a double seal as when you actually feel the seal line, it really is completely sealed up. BUT, it is definitely a very good feature to have if you are freezing A5 meat (HAHA). The only thing I wish they will change is the "locked"position of the locking handle. I wish they'd make it higher up instad of where it is. Why? Because sometimes I cut too small of a bag, and I try to squeeze in, and the item will jam into the handle and kinda pushes it upwards, which could unlock or lighten the seal. But, overall, I find the Nesco VS-12 to be a solid vacuum sealer. Just seeing the seal line alone, you can see how solid of a seal it is. I've had problems of the Foodsaver seal coming apart (leaking air IN) overtime in the freezer. I will update this review if I have that problem with the Nesco. ... show more

  • Buy this vacuum sealer. You won't regret it.
Style: Vacuum Sealer Size: Compact (Pack of 1)
This sealer works very well and their customer service is amazing. I've had it for 3 years and I used it a LOT. It is a trusty workhorse. Recently, it stopped pulling a vacuum. I contacted Nesco and asked for advice on troubleshooting the problem. They thought it was the sealing gaskets, so they sent me replacements for FREE. I was well past the warranty period and they didn't even ask when I bought the unit. They just sent me the gaskets. Now, it works like new. I highly recommend this sealer. It's rare to find a company that stands behind their products like that. I would 100% recommend the VS-12 if you're in the market for a vacuum sealer. ... show more

Great product when it works. Just sent back our second one, after having it for a month, when it stopped 'vacuuming'. Seals all seemed fine, still closed the bags, the pump worked, just stopped pulling the air out of the bag. Had a similar problem with one we bought in 2022, which failed in July, and the one we returned was the replacement. Will likely still buy one,as when it works it is great. ... show more
