Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

To be fair, if I were only sealing 1 or 2 items at a time I’d give this item 5 stars. But I generally seal quite a bit more than that at one time. I hunt and process my own meat and we shop at Costco and like to divide the food into smaller quantities. The instructions in this unit say to wait 1 minute after each seal. Also, not recommended to seal more than 1 or 2 items consecutively. Based on that alone I’m giving the unit 1 star because it’s worthless for what I need it for. I don’t want to spend all day sealing food! If you don’t seal a lot at one time you’ll probably like this unit. Be sure to push down on the closing handle so it seats completely or the unit won’t work. I tried sealing a few times and closed the lid and it sort of snaps closed however I found out I needed to give it an extra little push down even after it seemed locked closed before the unit would work.
