The media could not be loaded. I've tested this vacuum sealer on a variety of food items—from steaks to citrus fruits—and it consistently delivers a tight, reliable seal without crushing the contents. It's compact, efficient, and performs exactly as expected.While I haven’t fully explored its capabilities with moist items yet, I did try sealing a bag of water (perhaps a bit ambitious!). It didn't handle it vey well, but I imagine it would be better suited for thicker liquids like soups, sauces, or for fermenting foods. The built-in drip tray is a thoughtful touch for catching any spills, though I do wish it were removable for easier cleaning, as seen in some other brands.As someone who delivers practical cookery workshops across the country, portability and reliability are key—and this machine ticks both boxes. It’s definitely earned a permanent spot in my travel kit.Highly recommended for both home cooks and professionals on the move!

This is what came in my box. The sealer, a selection of bags, power cord, and an accessory hose.The front most metal strip is the heat sealing strip. This seals bags. The drip tray is where the very end of vacuum bags will go during the vacuum sealing process. This tray is not removable, you wipe it out to clean it. If you’re sealing something most, you’ll want to make sure to choose that setting on the control panel to minimize liquid being drawn out.For anythyyou wish to also dray as you can select the dry setting. That gets you a stronger vacuum. The round button toward the left engages the vacuum pump. This is used in combination with the accessory hose.To engage a bag for vacuum sealing you place it in the machine and press down on the lid until it locks into place. The button toward the right side is used to disengage the lid after it’s been locked.I tried seeling and drying a rub I had made and it worked really well as per the final 2 photos.This is a generally well priced machine and well built. The accessory tube is a really nice touch.I cannot recommend this enough if you are looking for a compact effective vacuum seeler.

Disclaimer: I was sent this as a review unit by Inkbird. However I provide impartial reviews.Unit arrived timely and is well packaged within its box. Accessories include the AC lead, a spare sealing strip for the main unit (a great addition), a vacuum hose (I assume for sealing bottles?), instructions, 5 x bags for vacuum sealing and a roll for vacuum sealing too.In my opinion the unit looks smart. It has a nice brushed steel finish to the top and the buttons are clearly labelled with nice visible LED's. Instructions have a couple of spelling mistakes but nothing that isn't obvious to work out.In testing the unit worked great. Very easy to set up and use. The addition of a guillotine type cutter on the top makes cutting bags to your desired size from the roll included a breeze. Seal one end, pop in your food to vacuum pack and place the other end in the unit. Press the lid down firmly with a nice click and then use the desired function.You can seal only or vac and seal (which has two settings - one for dry food and one for moist). Both worked flawlessly out of the box and vacuumed and sealed well. There's also a stop button that immediately ends any current ongoing process. Nice to have incase you misplace the bag or you've got food escaping for some reason.Longevity I haven't tested as yet. Having only received the unit a week ago I've not had a huge amount to vac and seal up. It certainly feels solidly built (more so than others I have tried in the past). Time will tell and I will update my review accordingly.Overall, a great little vacuum sealing unit.

Used the bags provided by the manufacturer with no problems. In the Amazon, information option to buy extra rolls 30/38/22 cm width. In Inkbird Vacum Sealer info says fits up to 11.8" width sealer bags. Later in the description states thanks to it's large seal length of 30cm can Vacum seal more than one bag simultaneously. Bought food sealer roll 30cm x 6 metre pack of 2 thinking it would fit. Calculated 11.8" is 29.97 cm, measured width Vacum bag roll 30cm. Measured width recess to hold roll 29.6 cm, there are also several protruding plastic lips on the inside on each side approx 5 mm reduced total width 1 cm max width of bag would be 28.5 cm to move freely & cutter to operate. Not sure if a 6 metre roll would be to high for the lid to lock properly for the sealing heating element to work.Returned my spare rolls to Amazon received a refund.Go metric saves a lot of confusion but the Americans will still use their feet & inches.Apart from that Sealer worked Great really appreciate the Pulse function.

I cold smoke cheese and cure my own bacon. A vaccum sealer is essential. It is also great for keeping food from getting freezt burn in the freezer. After looking at a few different ones I saw this one. One of the reasons for my choice is the cutter as it's hard to get a straight line with scissors. It has settings for both moist and dry foods, and comes with an additional gasket, some bags and a roll to cut your own bags. It also has the option to just seal or to seal and vacuum. It is a compact size which will be easy to store.

The media could not be loaded. I've been keen to get one ever since I started smoking meat so I could refridgerate/freeze more effectively and I'm very pleased with the results.Easy to use, good price, small footprint, easy to store.I can see this saving me money over time
