Customers like the reusability of the product. They mention that it keeps food fresh for 2 weeks at a time, is easy to use, and reusable for short-term and occasional use.

Customers like the way the bags seal. They say it's a great way to freeze without freezer burn. They also say the bags are handy for freezing and keeping food fresh. Customers also mention that the bags can be used in the microwave for reheating and that they extend the life of frozen foods.

"...I have found this helps a great deal to avoid freezer burn and is much easier to get to the product inside than other sealing systems that may seal..." Read more

24 customers mention18 positive6 negative

Customers like the size of the product. They mention it takes up little space, saves place, and is useful for small items. The pump is easy to use and can be used with both bag sizes.

297 customers mention203 positive94 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the product. Some mention that it works great, while others say that the valves on the bags themselves are flimsy and the bags are not the same quality as you find with professional vacuum sealing. The vacuum seal didn't last as it claims it can, and the bag tends to lose its seal after a lot of use.

"...They actually seal, with no heat, and creat a seal so good you have to break the seal with a spoon just like a regularly "heat-canned" jar...." Read more

"...The pump comes apart to wash, and one will last a long time, so you should only have to buy the starter kit once...." Read more

"...the bags with the tape held their seal overnight, no air leaked in!i tried heating the bags at 135 for an hour, seal worked...." Read more

"...I note some reviewers find that the seal does not hold and I too find that to be true...." Read more

103 customers mention68 positive35 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the product. Some mention that the Ziploc method is well worth the extra cost of additional bags. They say it's an economical alternative to the FoodSaver machine, which is quite expensive. However, others say that it'll cost you a lot of money to buy additional bags and the shipping cost can be expensive.

"...bags are re-usable, so easy to pump the air out, and best of all the low price!..." Read more

"...My strawberries last around 2 weeks. This makes the Ziploc pump well worth the money. It's paid for itself with 2 purchases of strawberries alone...." Read more

"...Cons: Shipping cost. I wish this was prime Item for shipping as you can usuallyfind this item locally without incurring the shipping cost...." Read more

"...Not sure on lifespan of the bags, but they aren't that expensive, so if you get a few uses out of it, consider it the cheapest option...." Read more

26 customers mention11 positive15 negative

Customers are mixed about the air pump. Some mention it sucks out more air, removes air from the bags really well, and is easy to pump the air out of the bags. However, others say that it always loses the vacuum and lets air in.

"...Well go take a look 10 minutes later and the bag is full of air again!..." Read more

"...What a find! Favorite features? The bags are re-usable, so easy to pump the air out, and best of all the low price!..." Read more

"...the one way valve design lets air in over time. you could probably fix it by putting tape over it or something to more permanently seal it...." Read more

"...give you a work out if you have a lot of items to freeze but it removes the air out and you can see the package shrink and close up around the food...." Read more

22 customers mention8 positive14 negative

Customers are mixed about the refillability of the vacuum. Some mention that the bags are great, easy to use, and convenient to buy replacement bags on here. However, others say that the price is insane and there is no place to find any replacement bags for the vacuum, the bags being sometimes hard to find at the local grocery store.

"...while i had my food in a sous vide setup (it was under water) the bag became flooded. the one way valve design lets air in over time...." Read more

"...This pump comes with a few bags, which are great for storing cheese and chopped veggies..." Read more

"Why do I love this? Simple easy and effective. The bags are sometimes hard to find at the local grocery store even at WalMart but I have and use..." Read more

"...but it irritates me that the kit only comes with 3 bags and costs a little more than I think it's worth (why 3?)...." Read more

Best Deal Ever

Best Deal Ever
I'm no stranger to paying for convenience, but this is honestly a great product that I will use for years before I'll shell out hundreds of dollars for those electric vacuum systems.Pros:Price = CHEAP! And it uses no electricity.Storage - in the drawerEase - it truly is easy to use. Common sense required.Con:There was a learning curve for me when trying it out on the bags that come in the box. It took some time for me to figure out it's all about the operator. Whatevs. I didn't purchase this pump for the bags, I purchased it to use with wide-mouth mason jars and a food saver attachment.For that, it WORKS PERFECTLY. Simply pump the air out of the mason jar until it becomes difficult to pump, and voila! Fresh food that keeps for easily twice as long as usual. My mason jar salad that I pack on Sunday is crisp and fresh, the following Friday at lunch!
