Anova Culinary ANVS01-US00 Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer, Includes 10 Precut Bags, For Sous Vide and Food Storage

Vacuum function does not work. Sealing is fine but 100% air will remain in bag.

The plug and power configuration works only in America. Be careful to check when ordering. After buying a power converter I find the heat sealer is faulty, only the vacuum works.

Full disclosure here... I've used chamber vac sealers for the last 20 years. Dip type, chamber etc. I also own a vacmaster commercial chamber sealer at home. Now... I needed one for the cottage (the vacmaster is ~80lbs... not good for travelling). For sealing meats etc when deals are good. also for sousvide and other stuff. So.... This unit does the job fantastically. Great suction, solid seals and good duty cycle (i.e. 5-20 seals at a go). No issues so far and I'm about 100 seals in. Considering Anova and the other products I have from them (support etc)... I highly recommend. Does it have a holder for bags? no. Does it have an aux port? yes! Does it have a cutter? No. The seal process relies on you clipping down both sides with physical clips... GOOD choice Anova. Does it require proprietary (i.e. only from Anova) bags? No. In summary.... worth every penny.

It is advertised to be 220 Volts. But it is 120 Volts.

Funciona muy bien

Works great with the Anova sous vide. The bags that are included can be reused. We sous vide a few times a week and have had this item for 9 months so far and it works great. We have had to clean it and charge it, but it is still sealing nicely.

This is a great vacuum sealer that I use with the Costco rolls of vacuum seal bags. It works very well and is basically mandatory if you want to save fish in the freezer. It is also a lot more effective than using plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn on meats. The bags end up waterproof after sealing so you can put them in a shallow bowl or something like a brownie pan to thaw more quickly.
