IT WORKS!! I can't believe how many people rated this so poorly because the dang thing works exactly like it says it does!! All I can say to them is: READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!! I'm going to keep this short and sweet. We go through a lot of chips and snacks in this house that come in bags. My 4 year old is autistic and VERY picky. He's wild about anything crunchy, but that means we have a lot of stuff that needs to STAY crunchy and to keep it that way we have chip clips literally everywhere. I got sick of it and decided to give this thing a try and sadly I was SHOCKED that it actually worked! I was able to reseal a bag of Tostitos tortilla chips and a bag of Fritos perfectly on my first try (followed by a bag of white cheddar popcorn and a bag of rice cakes). While this is a relatively simple device it DOES HAVE INSTRUCTIONS that need to be followed for it to work well. You can only use it on certain materials, you can't push down too hard and most importantly you have to clamp it down then WAIT 3 SECONDS for it to heat up before you slide it across. Oh, and you have to slide the little black protector thingy out of the way. It really doesn't take a genius to do, just someone who is patient enough to read the instructions and wait for 3 seconds. See my pictures!! It WORKS! I love that it has a big strong magnet on the back too so I can keep it on the fridge (way at the top so my son can't reach it). I think it's also nice that it comes with two, though I don't feel like I need two of them and it concerns me a little that it won't last long so they give you two. I will update later on! So far I really can't recommend this enough for keeping food fresher for longer without having to mess with dozens of chip clips or waste ziplock bags! I did NOT receive this item for free or at a discount. My husband ordered for me for Christmas from my Amazon wishlist! :) UPDATE 1/23/17 - After using this for a few more weeks now I can tell you that if you use it too many times on the same bag and press too hard when you seal, it will start to cut the bag. This works best for only resealing things 3-4 times in my experience, but usually that's more than enough for our needs.
