Our favorite vacuum sealers are the Nesco VS-12 Deluxe Vacuum Sealer and Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro. They're reasonably priced, easy to use, and yield reliable, strong seals. For those short on storage space, we recommend the Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer.
We recently tested 9 more vacuum sealers at our Lab (models from Inkbird, PowerXL, FoodSaver, and more). Our top recommendations have not changed, but you can find our thoughts on each of these new additions towards the bottom of this page.
To find out what makes a great vacuum sealer, we interviewed Janet Crandall, then the chef instructor at L.A Kitchen; she was also previously the executive chef and head butcher for Wyebrook Farm in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania, a butcher at Pat LaFrieda Meat Purveyors, and a chef instructor at the International Culinary Center. Crandall has extensive professional and personal experience working with a variety of vacuum sealers, including models by Koch, VacMaster, and FoodSaver. To understand how vacuum sealers may be affected at higher altitudes, we spoke to Timothy A. Gessert, PhD, founder of Gessert Consulting, who is also a member of the American Vacuum Society short course committee.
Vacuum sealing is also a convenient way to store fruits and vegetables at peak ripeness from your garden or local farmers market. For instance, you can freeze and vacuum-seal fresh berries to use them in pies in the middle of winter. The absence of air in vacuum-sealed bags also slows the rate at which pantry items like crackers and nuts go stale or rancid.
Ideally, a good vacuum sealer should be able to accommodate a range of bag widths. For most home cooks, an external model with an 11- to 12-inch-wide seal bar is sufficient. Chamber vacuum sealers can hold a wider range of bag sizes, which makes them ideal for packaging larger cuts of meats like roasts. Depending on how large the chamber is, it can also seal multiple bags at once.
To see how well the vacuum sealers could suction irregularly shaped food, we sealed a cup of walnuts using each model. We also tested the machines to see if they could vacuum-seal delicate items like raspberries, crackers, and chips without crushing them. We used a sound-level meter to measure the noise levels of the machines while they were operating. Additionally, we tested the effectiveness of the FoodSaver jar (now discontinued) and marinade attachments, pieces similar to the updated FoodSaver marinade and vacuum container, which were compatible with two of our finalists that had accessory ports. (Since the FoodSaver jar was discontinued, we did not test that attachment in 2022.)
Throughout the process, we paid attention to how much counter space each model took up. We also noted the amount of plastic that was wasted between the seal and the edge of the bag and how long each model took to suction and seal bags from beginning to end (which varied depending on what we were packaging). Finally, we used bags made by a variety of manufacturers to see whether they affected the suction and sealing performance of each vacuum sealer we tested.
All external vacuum sealers are pretty noisy, and the Anova Pro is no exception. In our measurements, it reached 83 dBA at the loudest part of the vacuuming cycle (our runner-up pick, the Nesco VS-12, measured 78 dBA), about the same noise level as a vacuum cleaner. This result was in line with what we got from the other models we tested, which averaged between 73 dBA and 84 dBA.
The Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer comes with 10 vacuum sealer bags measuring 8.6 by 11.8 inches, as well as a two-year limited warranty. If you have issues with your model under warranty, contact Anova.
That said, all FoodSaver models come with a five-year warranty. If you find that spending more for a longer warranty but less capability makes sense, you may want to consider buying a FoodSaver vacuum sealer.
The lifespan of each vacuum sealer will vary depending on frequency of use, but Anova has put its models through 10,000 hours of testing to assess their longevity. All Anova Culinary products have a two-year limited warranty. Nesco, the maker of our runner-up pick, also expects its vacuum sealer to provide two years of service under normal use.
The Weston Pro-2300 has an extra-wide sealing bar and a powerful vacuum for packaging large cuts of meat. However, we were disappointed in its quality, as the Teflon tape covering the heating bar began to peel off after only a couple of uses. We expected more from a machine of this caliber.
My newest, greatest food to vacuum seal Lettuce. I have to credit my mom for this tip. She had a three-pack of romaine last in a vacuum-sealed zipper bag for more than two weeks without it browning or wilting. Simply wash, chop and seal well and you can make a fresh salad every day.
I would like to see some real life numbers. For example your price for the sealer, price per bag, how many bags frozen per month, cost per month, length of time frozen. Maybe a blind test to pick which food has been vacuum sealed and zip top sealed.
Adding any small appliance to your collection is always a calculation. Will you use it Do you have space for it Is there a fun factor A vacuum sealer checks all those boxes. For starters, these practical little machines save you money by keeping your food fresher, longer. And they help you prep for sous vide cooking, in which food sealed in a plastic bag is cooked in a water bath.
The FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer VS3150 has a completely removable vacuum chamber with an integrated drip tray, which made thorough cleanup during testing easy, even if we wanted to clean it after each bag. Our meat juices and marinades were easily sucked into the chamber, preventing any contamination.
The FoodSaver Multi-Use Handheld FS2160 offers a useful marination function, which automatically turns the vacuum on and off over the course of 10 minutes when attached to a container. During testing, we found this function periodically released and increased vacuum pressure, forcing the marination juices into the meat. It made our grilled chicken wings even more delicious.
The maximum MPa reading displayed will vary based on your elevation because the vacuum sensor compares pressure inside the chamber to that outside the chamber. At sea level a maximum reading of 0.100 is to be expected. However, at higher elevations the maximum achievable reading may be 0.099 or less.
The vacuum pump will turn on automatically upon closure, this produces negative pressure inside the chamber, which in turn will suck down and hold the lid shut. Upon completion a valve will open to allow air back into the chamber and release the lid.
A: Yes, this is normal. What you are hearing is the seal bar lift pistons engaging the seal bar assembly against the seal cushion strip. This provides the pressure needed to apply a high-quality heat seal to the vacuum pouches.
I've had my JVR Vac100 for a couple of weeks now and have had the opportunity to use it to package up some Canadian bacon that I smoked and also some Tri-tip roasts that I purchased on sale. My old vacuum sealer sucks (literally) compared to this chamber sealer. I will be using it to help preserve meats and grains. I will be marinating meats and using it for sous vide cooking. So far so good.

The control panel of the vacuum packer comes with sensor control which allows the operator to set the exact amount of vacuum they would like to achieve which each product and it is accurate to within 1mBar of vacuum pressure.The digital control panel also tell the operator when the vacuum packing machine requires a service.
The D30 vacuum packer comes with four seal beams all of 820mm in length with a distance of 700mm between each pair. There are two seal beams in each vacuum packer chamber and they create a double seal imprint on the vacuum bag /pouch.
