I have never owned a vacuum sealer and I’m super excited about this one! It was very easy to figure out how to use. You can use the vacuum and seal almost anything you can think of and you can do it within minutes. The double line seal is air tight and helps prevent freezer burn. I’m looking forward to all the different ways I will use this vacuum sealer. It has definitely made meal planning easier as I can portion food out and quickly have it in the freezer. It comes with plenty of vacuum sealer bags to get you started!
