Good Machine with a few issues and small learning curve. This is one of the more useful products I’ve bought from Amazon over the years. Before this one, I had a very bare bones sealer I bought off Wish for 20 bucks. It worked then and it works now still but when I started needing to vacuum seal many small bags of home made candy the cheap one just wasn’t cutting it anymore. It would take four hours to vacuum seal a few batches.So I bought this, and I’m generally pretty happy with it. I needed to be able to seal cut out bags from rolls and this does that easily. The sealing strip does get pretty hot (like melt your bags to the point of them falling apart hot) with repeated use but once you get in the rhythm of it it’s easy to stop the sealer after a second or two to prevent melting. I also needed to be able to stop the vacuum at any time to seal and this allows that too, pretty flawlessly. Lastly I needed to be able to control how hard the vacuum removes air given the bag contents and this allows that with its Normal or Gentle modes, as well as the Wet or Dry food modes. My last sealer didn’t have any of these options.- it was either on or off so it would smash certain foods to the point of it being worthless before sealing it.So, after using this for a few hours over the course of my first week having it I’m really happy with it. So far it’s done everything I need it to do quickly and effectively, though I do have a few small complaints. The first of which I wish the operation buttons weren’t directly in the middle of the unit because at first trying to close the lid on the machine would result in my brushing one of the buttons and changing my settings, or in the worst case scenario the sealer would start before the vacuum even occurred sealing off the bag while it’s full of air, requiring me to start over. Actual physical buttons instead of basically a touch screen would have fixed this, or moving the buttons to the top of the unit. My second complaint is that you really need to apply some pressure to lock the lid, which is another reason why you might brush against one of the panel buttons and have the machine start doing something you don’t want. I do, however, understand somewhat the need for a tight seal for the vacuum to work but this does seem excessive, almost like when you first get it you feel like you might break the machine trying to lock the lid. Over the time I’ve used it I’ve gotten used to it but at first it seems odd needing to apply fifty pounds of force to lock the lid. I also know this isn’t necessary as my cheap unit I’ve had didn’t need this kind of force to operate… You could actually just lightly hold the top down with your palm and it would operate just fine.I’ve seen some reviews talking about how the machine was broken when they got it, and read some unhappy customers responding to Customer Questions on this page and my best guess is that they don’t know how to operate the machine properly. I definitely wouldn’t suggest a frail or weak person buy this unit because locking the lid repeatedly could become stressful, but there is also a slight learning curve to these machines and I can see why some people would be frustrated by it. Overall I’m pretty happy with my purchase and very happy with the amount of time I’ve saved in just a week strictly in vacuum sealing my products, it’s cut the time down by more than half. I’d recommend this.

Exactly what I was hoping for. Edited review- This vacuum sealer came with a “register & review in 7 days & get 2 free rolls & add a year to your warranty”. Well damn, I wasn’t ready! Didn’t have anything yet to seal! Messed around & didn’t post my review till like day 9 or 10. I hoped I had gotten it in “close enough”, NO. Oh well. They extended the warranty though, that’s cool. Ok. So I really did vac seal the fish. Really was easy & had no problems. Now for my REAL review- now that I’ve had it longer & used it several times. OMG I had this vacuum sealer in & out of my cart a dozen times, read reviews until I thought my eyeballs would bleed, pondered “will I REALLY use it?”- held my breath & just went for it hoping for the best. I Love this thing SO MUCH!! Since the 1 piece of fish I have done- pork chops, cube steak, raw chicken breasts, cooked chicken, shrimp, more fish and ground beef. All that & I still have some of the roll left that the unit came with (it also came with 4, I think, premade bags- I used those 1st. I think I prefer the roll)! I thought it would be something that I would drag out when I had a bunch to do at once. So far, I have had it out for 1 or 2 things & put it back up- quick & easy!! 2 weeks ago I got almost 3lbs bone in chicken breasts for almost $4. Come home, threw it all in the slow cooker/butter salt & pepper, that evening shredded chicken, divided up for 2 suppers & vac sealed both. Made for quick & easy meals later- chicken chili & quesadillas! I was like “OMG if THIS was the ONLY thing I ever use this thing for it’s still worth every penny!”. Probably took me, after the chicken was cooked, 10 min to shred, seal & toss in freezer (chicken was spread out on sheet pan as shredded to quick cool). When ready to use it thawed in minutes. Bought family pack of chicken breasts, divided into 3 meals, grilled 2 & sealed 2 meals worth raw. It was no inconvenience to get the sealer out for 2 things & it only took a few minutes. I am SOOO PLEASED with this unit!! I have had no issues with suction or seal. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
This thing really sucks (in a good way). Bought this to replace a Foodsaver I purchased at Wally World. The old vacuum sealer was finicky at best. If you got the bag in just the right position, with one foot off the ground, leaning into the wind with the sun over your left shoulder, it would work great. Otherwise, it was a dice roll. Since I prefer my gambling to stay in Vegas, I immediately tossed that POS in the trash can and moved on with my life. Botulism is a cruel beast and I am not taking any chances with food! Now I am in the market for a vacuum sealer that actually works and was browsing the Amazon site when I came across this little gem from Nutrichef! I couldn’t ignore the glowing reviews, so I once again rolled the dice. The vacuum sealer just showed up today, and let me tell you….this is the Tesla of sealers! Sleek black with a nice brushed stainless piece in the center…..sexy! The timing couldn’t have been better since I had some chicken, pulled pork and BBQ Beans to seal up and freeze from the weekend. Tried the sealer with some of the quart bags that came with the sealer and all the bags sealed perfectly. The unit is MUCH quieter than the last one I had. I read a tip about leaving the bag in the sealer before pressing the side buttons when it is done sealing for a few seconds to make sure it gets a good seal. I also tried the “Moist” mode on the beans and a bag of the pork and am pleased to report that it also worked flawlessly. I am most pleased with this sealer so far and look forward to sealing some dried ghost peppers and jerky this Summer with it. If anything changes, I will update this review to reflect those changes. Buy this thing now! You won’t be disappointed!UPDATE 4-11-23 — Started having issues with the sealer. First issue was when sealing, right side would pop out of place (almost like the heat was making something expand) and if I pushed it down and it clicked, would pop right back up again. Also, sealer has been quite finicky over the bags I have. Still had some FoodSaver brand bags left over from last sealer and sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t (by don’t work, I mean will not start sucking air out of the bag). I DID register my vacuum sealer with NutriChef upon receipt and they have extended my warranty, but that is all for nothing if I cannot get ahold of them! I have called the number posted on Amazon as well as on their FB page. If I press 1 for sales, I either get that no one is available to take my call or just silence. If I press 2 for customer service, it hangs up on me immediately (nice!). If they are closed, I get a message saying they are closed and listing the hours in Eastern Time Zone. If I press 0 for the operator (which I have never gotten), it rings for about 15 times then says Thank You for calling Sound Around. Apparently this company is owned by the same company that owns the audio company Pyle. If I go to the Nutrichefkitchen.com website, they have no phone number, but a contact form. I filled this out last week and got a response the next day from Pyle Support.Denise in customer service was incredible and helped me through my issue and replaced the sealer. The new one is working perfectly!
Super easy to use. I was in need of a vacuum sealer and a friend recommended this one. I read the reviews and everyone seem to really like it. I went ahead and ordered it on July 29 from Amazon and received it early on August 4. I opened the box on August 6, and was pleasantly surprised at how sturdy the unit was. The directions were clear and easy to understand. I recently purchased a large amount of steaks and tenderloin, and wanted to vacuum seal them. I’ve never owned one of these before, so I was a little nervous, but it was so easy. I didn’t have any trouble at all from the start. I’m very impressed with this small appliance, and would recommend it to anyone in need of a vacuum sealer.
Quick and easy to use. I had a snorkel vacuum sealer for many years. Over the years, I probably bought and used up 5 or 6 of them. Since I no longer have the need to buy (or store) 1000’s of bags at a time, I decided to try the other type sealer.I chose the Nutrichef because I could control the amount of vacuum seal, it was medium priced, used the Foodsaver type bags and had decent reviews. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to use and how efficiently it removes the air and seals. (It took a few sessions before I learned how best to use it.)The feature I like most is the option of choose when to seal. I often process packages of food for the freezer in plastic food containers without lids. I can stop the “suck” before it distorts the plastic container.
Very Good Product. I just purchased the vacuum sealer. I sealed 7 items back to back to put it to the test and verify the results. It was not until the 7th bag that I had problems with the seal. The instructions recommend spacing the use apart by 5 minutes for each use. The regular suction mode is a little too strong for my beef jerky, (it was a little too compact for my liking) so I would recommend using the gentle mode when first using the product until you are comfortable with the vacuum. Again, I vacuum sealed beef jerky so it really did not matter. I tried both dry and moist and it did not seem to make a difference for beef jerky. The snapping of the sides together in order to seal is a little cumbersome and sometimes hard to press. Be patient and press both sides one at a time in order to close the unit. Watch the video to show you how to do it properly, it really helped. Overall, I like the Vacuum Sealer for my personal use and would recommend it.
I’ll try ya one more time. I received as a gift about 3 yrs ago. When it was new it worked great. After awhile not so great. Thought maybe it was the generic bags I bought. Tried their bags and same results . Bags not sealing. Still had good reviews and thought I’d try again. Was going to register with the QR code but they wanted a credit card. Really. Got on line and registered the old fashion way. I did purchase the extended warranty this time. Only time will tell
Great performer. We grow a lot of fruits and vegetables and this is much better than throwing everything in the freezer. So the only problem is when you run out of bags you have to buy only special bags that can be used. Also would like more directions as to whether which fruit or vegetable goes to freezer or can stay without freezing.Needs more instructions. We still have no idea what the canister hose does. Apparently it has to have a special container to attach the vacuum to.? I can’t imagine using the extension hose for a wine bottle!!
Workhorse. I love this vacuum sealer! I had debated for years on buying a vacuum sealer and saw this one at such a reasonable price I decided to get it and am so happy I did. It is easy to use, works like a charm and fits easily in my cabinet. It sucks all the air out and seals perfectly in seconds. I have not used it to seal any thing that is pure liquid so I can not comment on that but for everything I have used it for it works great. I mainly use it to seal meats and pre-prepped breakfast sandwiches and breakfast burritos. Makes it easy to buy a large package of meat and seal them for our individual dinners. I will typically freeze everything first, place them in bags and make sure to press down the top on both side until I hear the “click” press the button and it works its magic. I would certainly buy another one if this one ever wears out and highly reccomend it to anyone who is looking for a vacuum sealer.
Nice Vacuum Sealer and Starter kit. The NutriChef Automatic Vacuum Air Sealing System is a standout appliance for preserving food and extending its shelf life. Its automatic operation makes vacuum sealing effortless, while the intuitive controls allow for quick adjustments between different sealing modes. The system effectively removes air and creates a tight seal, ensuring that food stays fresh and flavorful for longer. The included starter kit with vacuum bags is a nice touch, and the compact design fits well in any kitchen and packs away nicely in my cabinets. It’s also easy to clean and maintain. Overall, the NutriChef vacuum sealer is efficient, user-friendly, and a valuable tool for any kitchen, especially for those looking to reduce food waste and save money. Well worth it.
easy to use. Its easy to use. we had a differant brand but it intimidated me. i always waiting for my husband to use it.so this time I wanted one I could use. it’s easy and works great . im very happy with our purchase
I bought this unit for vacuum sealing steaks after I cut up a large roast of primal cut from Costco and it has been working great, just be sure both sides of the lid “click” when you begin the vacuum and seal process
Work great. Nice vacuum sealer .Easy to use
Great product. I have bought this item on July 2022 having problems with suction. The customer service is amazing and replace it immediately for me. I didn’t want to review back then because I didn’t trust the machine will be working. Today 12-7-2024 is still working beautifully. Yes its deserved a great review from me.
