KOIOS Vacuum Sealer Machine, 86Kpa Automatic Food Sealer with Cutter, Pulse Function, Dry & Moist Modes, Compact Design, LED Indicator Lights, Silver

Powerful, Does everything w/many functions, Best size. The media could not be loaded.  Oh my! This is great! Better then I expected! Suction power works and is strong. I put 4 small pork chops into small size cut bag and it handled it. Pictures will show the suction and meats in packages. At the time that I’m putting this review up, I’ve haven’t used the can vacuum sealing function. Sorry. Honestly I’ve never needed to do that but this Koisos Vacuum Sealer came with a hose/tubing to seal up canned/jarred liquids. It came with 10 bags. 5 big and 5 med./small bags. I did not realize that at first so I ended up cutting 3 big bags instead of just the one to test how the sealing function itself is. Oops. My fault. There are 4 functions to this; vacuum seal, just seal the end of a bag/plastic, liquid canister vacuum seal/seal, and cutting. I love that I can do all of that with this Koisos that it takes up hardly no room. It’s compact. In the box I got a 3 year warranty with it, instruction manual, extra foam striping, plug in, 5 BIG bags, 5 med/small bags and the liquid seal tubing. So much in a compact box. I received this a day early as well plus received a picture of the shipping box at my door. The lid pushes closed and clicks so that you know that you have the lid shut on right and tight. It’s touch screen on the top to pick what function you want to use and the cutter/slicer is on top as well. Just lay down your bag and slide the sliding lever over it and you have your custom sized bags instead of 1 bag. (Don’t forget to seal one end of the custom bags since now both sides are open.) in my pictures you’ll see how I cut a bag and then used the seal function to still use the end I cut off as another smaller bag. The touch controls are extremely sensitive. You barely touch it and it turns on/function starts. Extremely easy to work. You pull up the lid, lay the end of the bag at chamber, (which is described in manual. Make sure you don’t cover the vacuum tiny hole tube which is also described and shown in manual) close the lid and snap down to hear the click, Touch the function you want, and the buttons light up with a light timer that once the lights stop going, you know it’s finished, (you’ll see that in my pictures as well) and then you press the release buttons on each side of the Koisos vacuum sealer to lift lid up and grab your vacuum sealed item. When vacuum sealing you do hear it, but it’s not loud and is very fast. Takes just a few seconds and is done. Very powerful for size and can do so much. My family and I are massive meat eaters and this is the best thing in the world for me to save space in my freezer. It allows me to put a family meal portion together in one sealed spot so I can just pull it out and not have to worry about defrosting all meat and I don’t have to worry about freezer burn or nasty meat from sealing in ziplock or having left over stuck plastic wrap on my meat. Has kept my meat extremely nice and in place in my freezer. ALSO big tip. Do NOT overfill your bag. That’s a given. Can’t really pull out all the air if everything’s super stuffed and you can’t really set and put the tip of the bag into the vacuum sealer properly either. I know that’s a given, but still there will be those people out there that will over stuff and complain when it’s their own user fault. I have a video here of it working as well. It sounds way louder on the phone then what it actually does sitting in front of me. It does make noise but in no way is it that loud or honestly loud at normal. My phone picks up massive background noise and it turned that machine into a monster sound that it doesn’t actually make. Lol I noticed the extra speaker sound when I watched my video because I’m embarrassed about my talking. BUY THIS ITEM! It will not disappoint. This is my favorite kitchen item now and one of my most helpful. I’m so happy I finally got one after years of wanting and needing one!

Functional, but won’t last long. While reading this review, bear in mind that I have a still partially functional FoodSaver brand vacuum sealer, that I’ve been using 2-3 times each month, for the last 14 years. I can only use it on small bags, because the heated sealer has some sort of damage to the surface… So I HAD to get a new sealer, ASAP.Enter this little machine: smaller, weaker vacuum power, lighter, and it actually seals bags more quickly than my old beast.The advantages of the new machine are significant. 1, you can lock the sealer shut, and press a button. No holding/pressing down to make it work. 2, it’s quick. It takes a few extra seconds to suck the air out, but it seals the bag much more quickly, and with a slightly wider seal. 3, it’s light weight, and small. If you have plenty of counter space, and use a vac sealer often, it might be worth leaving it out for quick access to reseal whatever you want. It will also take up a lot less drawer/cupboard space. It got a pretty serious workout today, and it’s still not done for the night/weekend. (I have 10 lbs of meat to divide up and vacuum seal.)Now for the cons: 1. You have to give it 30-60 seconds between seals, per the manufacturer. My old one could seal 6-8 items in a couple minutes, and I never worried about overheating. 2. It’s got a cheap feel to it. The locking mechanism in use with each seal seems like it’s going to break with repeated use. I fear I won’t get more than a couple months worth of use out of it. 3. It’s a narrower sealing surface than I’m used to, meaning I can only do one bag at a time, because even with the narrower 6” bags, there’s not enough room. Sadly, that significantly adds to the time it takes to get through a pile of single serve meals.Overall, I’m cautiously pleased with this vacuum sealer. If it lasts more than 90 days before breaking, I’ll update my review.

A great vacuum sealer for the price. I cook a lot!! Love buying in bulk this little vacuum sealer is great and for the price it makes it even better!!
