This nutrisealer works great as long as you leave enough space at the top of your bag. If you don’t, prepare to fight it or cut a new bag. Overall, it does works great and it’s perfect for helping food last longer. The sealing part of the machine is extremely quick and quiet. The vacuum part can be hit or miss depending on if you have the recommended 2 inches of space to vacuum and seal. It is louder than I would prefer, but done correctly, it does vacuum out the air quickly. It’s very light-weight and slim so it doesn’t take up a ton of space. It has grip pads on the bottom to prevent it from moving around too.
