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.

A good unit for the price, but. Overall the unit does what it’s suppose to do. However, there are a few quirks. When the top is closed for sealing, the feet are lifed off the surface and the unit slides very easily. As I cut the bags to lenth at this tiime, I now have to put a weight on the uniit to hold it in place. The seal cycle is quite quick, but the vacuum briefly comes on at the end of the cycle.The vaciuum is efficient and holds the bag tightly closed during the sealing cycle. But, positioning the bag in the vacuum zone, takes some time. I’m still working on getting it correctly positioned, the first time.The controls on the top are very sensitive. The unit often starts a cycle when I’m attempting a different functionOverall I’m pleased with the operation, but as noted above, the unit is ‘quirky’

Great food saver. I bought this because I always wanted it. This thing works great as long as you figure out the secret to how it works best. I tried too seal Bacon 🥓 😩 yeah right. Kept sucking moisture up from the meat. Well wasted 4 bags doing that then I figured out put a half of a paper towel at the top so to catch the juice and it worked great 👍 and every time I seal food I just put a little piece of paper towel in and no more problems. 😀 I recommend this product.

Easy Peasy! Had I known how easy these were to use, I would have bought one years ago. I watched a few YouTube videos before shopping since I had no clue about how they worked. This one is not overloaded with features, and that is great. Fill the bag to 3″ below the opening, slip it into the guides while allowing the filled part of the bag to rest on the counter, close the lid without allowing the bag to shift while pressing until both sides lock, select wet/dry, touch the vacuum/seal button, and voila! Sealing apple chunks from orchard trip. 8 bags took less than 15 minutes (steep learning curve) with only one miscue, no vacuum since bag slipped a little, the nice thing was it didn’t automatically seal the bag so I just popped unit open, repositioned the bag, hit vacuum/seal again and it worked fine.

Works well. Duration of use: 2 weeks. Frequency of use: 3-4 a week. So far so good, works as advertised. Does it make noise? Yes but that is to be expected. Does it vacuum and seal? Yes, works exactly the way it is supposed to. I have already reduced food waste by being able to freeze leftovers with no issues

GREAT product. Look no further. This little guy is a beast. It has great power. It’s lightweight and so simple to use. My FoodSaver brand pooped out on me. It cost well over $100 and was VERY heavy, and quite literally, a pain to use. Although my FoodSaver had a built-in cutter and internal storage for a roll of bags, I prefer this one in spades. I don’t need bells and whistles. I just want something that works great, and this is it. This vacuum sealer has very quick suction power and a great sealer. Not to mention, it does not break the bank. You can’t go wrong with this product. Just buy it!

Great product. This vacuum sealer is simple and easy to use. The price is amazing and I’m excited to be able to freeze meats without worrying about freezer burn.

This Vacuum Sealer Sucks (in a good way!) Quietly. I bought this to replace an 20 year old ‘famous brand’ vacuum sealer whose accessory port had deteriorated to the point of not functioning. At the same time as buying this, I also bought the current version of the ‘famous brand’ (since returned) for twice this price – and I like this Geryon better. It is lightweight, and is really quiet when running. It seals both the included bags and the ‘famous brand’ bags well if you pay attention to making sure the bag is flat and not wrinkled across the sealing heating element (something you need to pay attention to for the ‘famous brand’ one as well!) And I use it daily for evacuating wine bottles to preserve the left-over wine (I know that ‘left-over’ wine sounds odd – but I have been trying to cut down on vino-sumption!) Oh, and did I mention that this is QUIET while it goes about its task? The only thing I would change in the design would be to add a couple more inches to the sucker tubing – any taller wine bottle and I’ll have to prop the sucker up on blocks. And it does appear that to preserve longevity of the unit, you really need to unlatch the cover prior to storage so as to not compress the sealing foam. All in all, I would buy this again – good price for a good unit.

great product and simple to use. I loved this product for the ease of use and its simplicity.got one for myself and have recommended to others of its usability for sealing all kinds of foods.I would definitely recommend this product to other people.
