You have to pay attention to get it right, but it works great and is saving me lots of money, as I can now buy in bulk and pick up on specials. I take what I've cooked and, if liquid as in a soup, freeze it in small containers, then transfer it to one of the bags. Easy to seal and store.

Great item! Easy to use, not an eye sore on the counter, so it's readily used!

We use it all the time! We buy bulk meat cuts w/o the worry of our food getting freezer burn before we can consume it! The same goes for leftovers. Food tastes fresh and with the food in vacuum bags, items fit better in the freezer!

Highly recommended for large families as well as empty nesters......buy food in bulk, and no freezer burn worries, prepare a weeks worth of food, and no freezer burn worries!

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to operate and fills my need
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2016
Style: Model 78213Verified Purchase
This is my first vacuum sealer and really looked forward to trying it out. I decided against a more expensive or "professional" model as I just didn't think I needed that extra expense for my anticipated uses. As with most things that I get from Amazon,it arrived right on time with standard shipping. It's pretty darn easy to operate. I did have a problem with the first try. It seemed to vacuum, but very weakly and just would not seal. I was getting quite frustrated and was about ready to send it back. Then I discovered that I had missed removing 2 tiny match-stick sized pieces of cardboard packaging from around the latches on the top portion. Duh! Works a whole lot better with those removed!

I got this primarily for freezing meats as we like to go to Sam's and purchase meat in larger quantities. So far so good for that. I have noticed that it leaves tiny air pockets where the bag wrinkles when vacuumed, but it gets alot more air out that I can squeeze out of a zip lock bag. Even though I pat the meat dry, I still have a little bit of a problem with it sucking moisture out and onto the machine. There is a tip in the instructions that talks about folding a paper towel around the end of the bag to be sealed, but I just don't understand exactly what I'm supposed to do with the paper towel. Does it go inside the bag against the meat to be frozen? That just doesn't seem right to me, but maybe I'm just not understanding the instructions correctly. I've had great luck with packaging up pasta, rice, dry cereal, grits, etc. that were also purchased in bulk. Overall, love it for the meats and dry goods so far.

I did try sealing some leftover casseroles. Per the instructions, I tried freezing the casseroles before sealing to keep too much moisture from being vacuumed out. This hasn't gone so well for me. (Maybe somebody can offer a little guidance as to how to go about this more efficiently!). First, I dirtied up quite a number of small containers to freeze the stuff in serving size portions. Then, when I attempted to seal them, in the few minutes that it took to get stuff out of the freezer, out of the containers and into the bags, they thawed enough that, as with the meats, a good little bit of moisture was sucked out and onto the sealer. Not going to worry about that too much because I don't make alot of casseroles! I do see the same thing happening with soups, chili, etc.

I've made one attempt at sous vide duck breast and it worked beautifully for that.

Overall, since my main intention was to use this for meat and bulk dry products, I am pleased. Yes, the bags probably come out costing more than the same number of zip seal bags, but I'm able to get much more air out. As for the comments about its size...mine sits on my counter. It's roughly 2 1/2 times the size of a box of plastic wrap, so not huge. I would recommend this if for nothing else than the ease and efficiency of sealing meats and pastas purchased in bulk.

My wife fell in love with this sealer. We had previously owned a Seal-A-Meal and the Hamilton Beach is arms and legs better and much easier to use. What is also appealing is that you don't necessarily have to use the Hamilton Beach brand vacuum seals. Comes with easy to follow directions and produces good results

As a near five year Prime member and a guy that has probably ordered more than 500 items from Amazon, this is the first time I felt the NEED to leave a negative review. Where to start? <deep breath> ok, first off the bags that come with the machine are bottom tier at best so after multiple failed attempts at vacuum sealing my stuff I bought better bags but the machine would still almost NEVER vacuum seal anything. I think I managed to get three steaks properly sealed. I had another brand sealer for years and no issues until it was lost in a move. This sealer is terrible DO NOT PURCHASE!!! You will spend all your time waiting on it to vacuum seal and it will only work correctly around 10% of the time. It will finally stop trying to seal after a few wasted minutes. I’m carrying this paper weight to ups Monday morning. With all that in mind I have only been this disappointed with an Amazon order once so that’s saying a lot about Amazon’s stellar service and products, just stay far far away from Hamilton Beach vacuum sealers and air purifiers!

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2017

A very much needed appliance for the kitchen during harvest. I used it for dried apples, banana chips, zucchini, carrots, and cherry tomatoes. I froze the zucchini after blanching it, so as not to get moisture in the vacuum sealer. Wet foods are a little tricky. You have to freeze them first, then put a paper towel in the bag to vacuum, to catch moisture, then seal. This appliance allows you so many options and has great directions. Glad I purchased it, and worth the money. I also sealed a mailing document--not just for food.

This is the second one of these that I have purchased. Arrived on time with no issues. It's a pretty good mchine for the money if you only need to vacuum seal a few items every once in awhile. If you are planning on using it often, or sealing bags with ANY liquids in it this is not the vaccum sealing machine for you. If used on a regular basis the Teflon tape strip on the inside top lid will start to wrinkle & then soon start coming off it will then require you to add much more pressure to the lid in order to achieve a vacuum seal. Not long after the Teflon tape begins to fail the heating element goes out, once that happens you will then be out of luck & have to purchase another sealer.

This is my first vacuum sealer. I wanted to buy an entry model to test one out. I cure a lot of charcuterie and I wanted to find the best way to store it after it had finished curing. Well, let me say, I use it for everything now. If this is an entry model I can't imagine what a more expensive one would even do. I use it for leftovers, for my charcuterie, for soups, stews, lunch portions to freeze.
