This sealer does its job, it seals & vacuum seals as well, but the instructions were confusing & did not provide adequate directions for use in my opinion. The slider to cut is almost useless as it gets hung and jams constantly. The sealing process isn’t super speedy, but it’s also not dreadfully slow so it’s average. The size is great as I can easily store it out of sight. It’s okay, it gets the job done while not always easy or quickly it performs. It could definitely use some improvements & better instructions.
