Reviews for ARY VacMaster VP210 Chamber Tabletop Vacuum Packaging Machine with 10 1/4" Seal Bar

Beware of the cheap price. They advertise it as "new". But when I received my order the unit smelled like smoke meat and there was grease and oil all over the underside of the lid. The power cable was greasy fingerprints on it as well. Take about unsanitary and disgusting.

Make sure you purchase more vacuum oil when you pull the trigger on your machine, or you'll be left waiting! The machine works absolutely as advertised. Great vacuum.

Totally awesome sealer. Be sure to get extra oil for it if you buy one. It comes with one little bottle only and we found that by the time we filled it, let it set, then topped it off, the bottle was gone. So, you will need an additional bottle for backup. Be sure to read the description. Mine only came with one filler plate from the manufacturer, despite the description saying it comes with two. The Webstrauntstore took care of this though, they contacted the manufacturer and made sure they sent me another plate. Kudos to the customer service!

Product came in mint condition. Packaged extremely well. The VacMaster makes a great product. The only issue I have had was the fact that if you change settings you have to run the system once before the adjustments are made. I have the VP112s as well. The VP320 is worth the extra expense. I love the cooling feature.

Great vacuum packaging machine. We have had it several years and it still works perfectly.

great machine have told several people about it hopefully they buy from you also

Love this thing works great but will crush a dinner roll flat if your not careful, just need to find the right settings

I purchased this machine manufacturer and model based on a family recommendation. I love it as does my cousin who has one. I can echo the other reviews, purchase an additional bottle of oil. The machine comes with the exact amount needed, and when I spilled a little in the initial oil fill, I needed to order more. This thing is awesome

This thing is a beast. Best upgrade from the countertop bag suckers.

Great product that we use in our commissary production. Always a guaranteed seal, and works quick. VacMaster bags are always priced fair and are good quality too.

This vacuum packaging machine works wonders, it gets the job done every time and would definitely recommend for restaurants or personal use!

Great machine at a decent price

A total waste of money!!! I bought this item with high hopes and after I received the item, super clean, no damaged, bright and shiny. Followed the first use instructions and then tried to used it, the unit was on but it wasn’t operating its main function which is vaccum and sealing. Contacted with webtestaurant customer support, they said it is a technical problem so I should call the company. Then I called the company’s tech support, told them the issue then they said there is a problem with the switch and they sent me new one and asked me to changed it. I did it, nothing changed, and then they sent a motherboard, I changed the board myself and The machine’s seal bar over heated and turn into bright amber color and the smoke started rise, when I told this to tech support they said “ ohh you need Read More

This thing is awesome. Works jus like we wanted it to. Use it for sealing cut steaks and seafood, as well as sous vide items.

I have had absolutely zero problems with this machine. Good build with simple controls. We use it every week to vacuum seal our chicken for brining.

The VP320 was packaged quite well, but the custom crate made it difficult for the delivery driver. The crate didn't fit on the pallet jack and it was quite sketchy watching him maneuver the dolly on the lift gate without a strap securely holding the crate. After opening the crate it was quite apparent how beefy this unit was and how well built. I filled the unit with oil and started testing it out. I was surprised at how quiet the VP320 is. Using my iPhone the maximum sound level was around 79 decibels recorded within 6 inches of the right middle side. Standing in front of the unit by my head the sound level was around 68 decibals. After a few test runs I realized it was not sealing properly and found that recommended time was not currently set. I've had good results with the times listed on Read More

Great vacuum sealer! We use it every day to portion and keep our steaks and other meats fresh. Everything stays fresh and it is very easy to use!

My favorite kitchen item. I debated on getting this size or the next size up, but I settled on this for space saving efforts. This is a great vaccum sealer.

I freeze most of the vegetables we grown. I used to buy 2 or 3 foodsavers a season because they couldn't handle the amount I froze. I finally spent the money on the VacMaster VP210. Well worth the money and it saves me a ton of time. Glad I finally bought this.

This is HEAVY and BIG. Took 2 people to bring it in and set it up. Box was a little scuffed, but the machine was well-packed and in mint-condition. It comes with 3 different size bags (25 of each) so you can try it out and see what works for you. It sealed perfectly from the very first try. It also vacuum seals 12-ounce canning jars (and smaller) very well. Webstaurant customer service has been very helpful and responsive whenever I've contacted them with a question. I was a little hesitant about ordering from them initially because there wasn't much information about the company online (and what I did find wasn't particularly glowing), but we've had nothing but a positive experience and will definitely be ordering more supplies and equipment from Webstaurant.

In 7 years we have purchased 3 of these machines that we use heavily on a daily basis. Our kitchen vacuum seals our proteins every day for storage and while not using during non-service hours. This practice prolongs the shelf life of perishable and non perishable goods. Fully recommend using this technique and machine on a daily basis. It's not just for sous vide cooking!

I have owned the VP320 for over a year now. No problems, i use it to package 12" pizzas. Its a beast even when it is set to its lowest setting.

A+ I have had this for years and use it almost every day. great product. no need to spend thousands this will handle large volume

I just received our VP320 yesterday, so not a pro yet, but no need. The machine is so simple to use and took about five minutes to have the oil added and start sealing. The controls on the panel are extremely simple and easy to understand and set with very little instruction needed. The great part, I was a bit concerned about the vacuum times, but with this machine, I was able to set it to the minimum spec of 20 seconds to pull a complete vacuum and have excellent results. I believe this was is built to last and will be a long lasting piece of equipment in my operation. I also would like to add a bit here for webstaurantstore.com, what an outstanding job providing the details I needed to make my order. I had read a couple negative Read More

The Ary VacMaster VP320 is a work horse. I have bought this machine for 3 restaurants where I was the chef. They are all still great shape. I changed the oil about every 1-2 months depending on usage. It is a great all-around chamber vac for a small to medium sized operation. There have been times where I pulled over a hundred cycles in a day, so If you have the time, it would work for a larger operation as well.

We have two of these VP210s and use them constantly all day long. We have only had one problem and ARY tech support walked us through the solution. The sealing bar wasn't holding the bag tightly, so they taught us how to stretch out the springs in the pistons that push the bar up. Apparently happens sometimes and not hard to fix. Love the product and about to buy another.

Thank god for this cheaper alternative to a $1000+ machine. It works the same as a more expensive one. Perfect for a restaurant like mine that Vac-packs steaks and veggies for Sous Vide and storage. Chamber Vac's are the way to go for commercial kitchens. You wont be disappointed with this machine. My only complaint is it didn't come with instructions to put it together. There is a very small amount of assembly for the heat strip. Other then that, Its perfect.

The ARY VacMaster is a serious machine at a good price. We had a simple home use machine that died on us so we decided to upgrade to this one for our business. Just note the size of the seal bar so you only use bags smaller in length.

I saw this once on a fishing trip, and all i can say is that its awsome. I noticed the bags neg yo be dry on the outside cause if not they have a tendency to pull backbinto the chamber during the process. No big deal now that i know.. i cook allot and happy that i only need to pop it in here and then to the freezer. YOU MUST GET A CART FOR THIS. It wil make this product all the more enjoyable!!

I was looking for a vacuum sealer for my catering business. After looking at several models, I decided to invest in a chamber style vacuum me sealer since a lot of my product is full of juices, and would not get a good seal with an out of charmer style. When I ordered it, I had it sent to my daytime work so I would have someone around to unload it, and since my billing/business address was different than my shipping address, they would not send it to me without proof that it was a good address and it was not fraudulent order, which I was very impressed by. After talking to the representatives (which were very pleasant), I sent a few pictures away to them, and received a nice e-mail shortly after thanking me for the info, and the shipment was sent thru. I received the shipment 1-week later on standard Read More

This thing is a beast! We use it daily in my kitchen and I really love the thing. Its a good value and will pay for itself in a short time.

I have been using the vacuum sealer for about 2 months and it works great. I use it to vacuum our processed meats along with foam packing and it gives a great appearance to our products.

my husband loves this vacuum. it is such a step up from the food saver it is ridiculous. this does a really good job for preparing food for sous vide cooking.

I have bought a couple cheap vacuum sealers over the years. Spent allot of money on the special bags that would occasionally leak. After hearing many people praise the Chamber Vacuum Sealer and watching a bunch of online videos I knew I needed one. I love to buy in bulk, now I can get meats since this sealer can do liquid with no leaks. I work allot so I usually batch cook over the weekend and I portion and freeze. Now that I Vac Seal them they no longer get freezer burnt, after warming them it’s like the day I cooked them. I could go on and on with all the awesome uses for Chamber vacuum sealers. This particular Sealer is the overall best choice, granted I haven't tried the more expensive models but this model is great. It is fairly heavy about 85 lbs, so either clear a spot that it won’t need to be moved or get a heavy duty cart to roll it around.

I have mine just for home use. I really like it. I can buy in larger volume and feel comfortable that I can keep. I chose to buy various boxes of bag sizes. Very handy this way. Works perfect every time right out of the box. I know this a lot of money for home use. But I love to make large pots of Soups, Chilly, Garden picked tomato sauces. and so on.This machine works perfect for all. Worth it to me. Ted

We have purchased many of these units and love working with them. For the price and size it is hard to beat. We highly recommend this unit.

This machine is a great asset to the kitchen it allows the preservation of food and allows you to cut down on food costs. While the price is high it will make the money back for you.

great price and a very good machine, saves alot of food and seals better than any vacuum sealer ever made. worth the investment.would recamenr this product to anyone

This is a great vacuum sealer. I have one at work and this blows that out of the water. I was hesitant because of the price being lower then Ebay or any where else,but it exceeded my expectations. Great investment, I love it!
