GERYON Vacuum Sealer Machine, Automatic Food Sealer, Starter Kit|Led Indicator Lights|Easy to Clean|Dry & Moist Food Modes| Compact Design (Silver)

Not much bigger than a roll of plastic wrap. I’ll start with the size, because counterspace is always an issue for us. This incredible money saving machine will literally make you take advantage of supermarket sales while easily stowed anywhere if not left on the countertop for ease-of-use.Many years ago we purchased a vacuum sealer, the unit was pricy and the bags were out of this world crazy expensive. Not anymore! This $40 unit handles 11 inch bags and 8 inch bags either rolls or cut bags and does a great job at it.We now take advantage of sales on all meats and anything else we wish to shop for that will either go in the freezer or fridge for extended time. We have a limited freezer space with a side-by-side fridge and found a really neat tip to share: we use old shoeboxes to slide easily in and out of the freezer with vertically stacked meat inside each box, so every shelf has a shoebox full of nicely assessable frozen food Which we prep our self and vacuum within seconds. Then using a sharpie right directly on the bag what’s inside how many or how many Or weight of the meat inside. The shoebox thing really works out wonderful, because stacking these bags in the fridge can be a nuisance and handling the bags all the time can crack the best bags if pulled and shoved around the freezer.Now I am creating meals to take to work by freezing servings of mashed potatoes and veggies and meats on parchment paper in the freezer than inserting them in the bags for final sealing. The only warning I would give is you can’t handle excessively wet food in the vacuum sealer, it will suck the liquids up into the vacuum chamber andThat’s just a mess. So the cure to this, is to freeze things like chili or soups or whatever has a large amount of liquid prior, and then placing in the bag for the final seal. This process is well worth it and again when money is an issue by a family size pack of ground meat separated into 1 pound portions and freeze each bag so that you can just take out what you need each time. Even form burgers, let the bag thaw in cold water in 30 minutes for a great fast meal.Ease-of-use is very simple. Just Place the bag as instructed and off it goes to seal extremely tight almost anything that you could put in there. Expect to double and triple the lifespan of your food with no freezer burn or freezer taste ever again. We use the 50 foot rolls both 8 inch wide and 11 inch wide (50 foot roll together only runs around $17). this allows you to freeze anything whether only a few inches tall or feet tall if you want long as it can fit in the fridge or freezer, you have a lot of choice in length of bag, the pre-cut bags quart size and other just aren’t that flexible for most of our needs and I believe yours too.So the low profile, which is really about the size of two boxes of plastic wrap one behind the other and it does the work of a machine 10 times its size. Oh, that is not an exaggeration either it’s a remarkable slim and compact machine.So glad that I ordered this, when my wife saw on the box that it was A vacuum sealer she told me she wish I hadn’t bought it and one day later she’s coming home with bulk food and stocked the freezer up in a very organized way.I don’t know about other machines this size, but this one is a real winner and if it doesn’t meet your needs, Just send it back. But it surely does meet ours, if this one broke, I would buy The exact same unit, it is that cool to work with.Hope this helps in your decision, it’s one of the best purchases this year and continues to earn it’s keep practically every day. And remember, a vacuum sealer does a lot more than just prep things for the fridge and freezer: anything you need to protect from water or the weather or pack to keepFresh veggies and fruits of Coors and even a wallet a watch or anything when camping etc. I even placed a series of coins I collect and they stay exactly as I place them: literally I can hang them on the wall for display.It comes with some sample bags included but buy yourself that combo package of eight and 11 inch heavy duty bags for $17 and go to work changing how are you safe and protect food forever.

Great customer service. So…the jury is still out on how our experience is with the appliance, because we bought our sealer a year and a half ago and within 6 months it was not working very well. We thought the problem was our fault, but didn’t know what we did wrong. Eventually we just stopped using it because occasionally it worked but most often did not. I decided to call Geryon and talked with a VERY helpful young lady, Felicia, who guided me through a trouble-shooting task and once we determined that it was the appliance she was also extremely helpful in telling me how to document our problems and to send a formal request for replacement. Geryon was quick to respond and then quick to remedy the problem. And this was 18 months past the time of purchase (there is a 2 year warranty). We did a test with the new appliance and it seems to be working fine…we’ll see if that remains the case. BUT I can say the customer service was amazing with direction, courteousness, respect for the customer, follow-up and, most importantly, a delivered new vacuum sealer. Thank you!

Helps save money. I had so much squash and zucchini from my garden this year and did not want to waste it like last year so I grabbed this and so glad I did. I did use the bags it came with pretty quick so I suggest buying additional bags. I watched a short YouTube video to know that I was doing it all right and after that it was a breeze. This picture was from cutting up probably ten squash and zucchini and I feel so much better about not wasting anything this year. Can’t wait to freeze and store more.
