VacPak-It VMC10OP Chamber Vacuum Packaging Machine with 10 1/4" Seal Bar and Oil Pump

After a lot of searching and cross comparison we bought the VacPak-It VCM100P. It arrived quickly, just a few days, maybe two. We chose the oil filled pump because all other reviews of similar products stated the oil filled was the quieter of the two. This assumption proved right as it is real quiet, considering the job it is doing. It's heavy coming in around 60# so waited until I had help to get it up where we wanted it. It is too valuable to risk dropping and ruining it. So far I like the machine although I do have some issues concerning it. First, the manual was written for the larger machines and the VMC10 was just tagged along to save the manufacturer form haing to write a proper manual for this model. When you go to set it up, there are a total of seven screws you have to Read More

This thing is massive, the door is 1"thick! Very easy to use and program, seals anything. I love this machine. It will be used mainly for sliced meats, prepared meats and sausages, wild game cuts and whole butchered processed chicken. So far it vacuums and seals anything i can stuff in the bags. More commercial than home grade use. Will last me a lifetime

This is the smallest vacuum machine I’ve ever purchased and I’m happy with the results. I opted for the oil model as I heard or read it was the quieter of the two and it indeed it. Very easy to plug and play. I bought it for my home and personal use and I can’t wait to see the awesome food I can marinade and preserve with this unit.

I purchased the vac sealer and I have been very happy. The unit is compact, nice lines so it is easy to keep clean. Webstaurant store does a great job with shipping so it arrived in perfect condition. I will get a lot of use out of this machne going forwRD

I ordered this vacuum sealer and was shipped within days. It was pretty light and has all instructions. Once I read through the instructions it was easy to operate. The sealer worked great. Sealed all my food without any problems and all the controls are in the front for easy access. I did great with dry items and wet items. Lid makes it very easy to open and close with a lock latch for it. easy to start and works without any issues. The chamber is a good size for sealing and the heat bar is pretty wide as well for a secure seal... LOVE IT

I think I got the Lemon. I received this machine 14 months ago. It worked fine until yesterday when I heard a short buzz while the sealer was in the sealing mode. The display showed what I assume is an error code (E01). Trying to contact anyone from WebRestaurantStore isn't the most customer friendly. The only contact method is via chat. When I explained the issue I was having, I was told that my item is out of warranty (3 months) and that they could not help me and that I should contact a local repair service. When I asked to speak to a tech service person to determine the error code ( I would fix it myself if I knew which part to order) I only ran about 250 bags through the sealer. Awesome machine, while it worked. No help from WRS at all.

4 Stars based on the small issue/beep mentioned below, otherwise it would be 5. Works awesome and has sealed hundreds of bags but after moving several time the front right peg for the sealing bar popped loose. After unplugging the unit and letting it sit for a bit we were able to remove the front panel, push the connection back up and re-secure the clip that wiggled out. The beeping noise is also annoying and I hope they could allow an option for turning that off as it scares one of my dogs who has some beep PTSD. Even with the small issue and the beeps I still continue to recommend this to everyone who watches how fast we seal for sous vide, marinating, freezer storage (no freezer burn!), and even sealing extra soup we cook.

Awesome machine for the money. This is my second chamber sealer. First was larger and not the same amount of vacuum. it gave up working. I go this machine, added the oil and it works. Quicker vacuum process, Shorter seal time with far better results. Previous machines the sealed back would inflate or seal would fail no matter the amount of heat or seal time. This machine is has yet to fail in sealing a bag. Also bags retain vacuum even in freezer. The vacuum is much stronger. Like the fact the lid auto opens when completes. I look forward to many years use. Thanks for a great affordable product.

So far I am very pleased with this machine. It seems well built and very high quality. Especially for the price compared to competing models. I have probably packed at least one hundred pounds of meat in individual serving packages and several gallons of soup for individual servings. It is the perfect beginner model of chamber vacuum. It does not have all of the options some of the other brands have but it is an extremely capable machine. I have no complaints so far and would recommend and purchase again.

We burned through a few thousand FoodSavers before we finally bit the bullet and purchased this machine. After almost a full year of use, we are very pleased with it. We put away a few whole animals a month for our on-farm butchering classes, and so far we have had none of the typical problems that crept up with other commercial machines we have used in other facilities. In the past, seal bars on other machines heat up too much and cause melting problems and the seals are not as tight AFTER a full day of use. However, this machine has not had these endurance problems, and so far has handled everything we throw at it with very little maintenance. Very easy to clean. Sturdy and a real game changer for us. Keep the oil fresh and you should have no problems.

bought this a few months ago to replace an ARY vacuum sealer that failed. this one seems much better quality and works without issues. will wait to see how it holds up over time

Our company spent a significant amount of time researching the right Chamber Vacuum Sealer for our needs. After going through a less than stellar experience with another brand we settled on the VacPak-It VMC10OP. The machine was delivered and arrived in excellent condition signature required. Setup was extremely fast and easy. We did notice a few small errors in the manual regarding setup. Once setup we were ready to start working. The machine is super quiet compared to other machines and provides excellent vacuum pressure and a very secure seal. We are super excited with our new machine and after 150+ seals in the first day things are working great!

The VMC10OP is perfect for all our preservation and fast marinating needs. The set up was simple and quick, and has proved efficient and simple for all users. Its counter profile is not obtrusive and fits nicely on our prep island. From cakes to venison fillets, this machine will get a lot of use.

Use this machine for packaging wild game and home grown food. It has paid for itself two times over. Zero complaints. Would purchase another with no reservations.

Overall I am not very happy with this purchase looking back at it. I have owned this for a little over 4 years and might have used it a total of 100 times (in my home). The lid struts failed before a year was out, the LCD screen went out at 2 years and has has a number of dark areas and is difficult to read, and now at the 4 year mark the pump won't take it to full pressure. So, it is shot. I know it is well past warranty - but this is a piece of crap.

This product is very easy to use and does most of the job for you. This is a great machine to have, would definitely recommend!

I have both the #186VMC10OP and the #186VMC12OP, the #186VMC10OP is a lot noiser the the #186VMC12OP and the lid does not stay opened from brand new. it also does not pull vacumn as well as the #186VMC12OP. I will not purchase another 186VMC10OP. I attempted to order struts to replace and their out of stock.

This machine is amazing, they day we got it we packed 150# beef from the butcher and it never missed a beat. I use it daily to put up produce from the garden and find things in my freezer to re-pack that have lost their seal from prior food-saver. We have also sealed sauces and liquids with no problem! Great product at a great price! BUY IT if your are contemplating one or comparing similar brands, you wont be disappointed. I have it on a rolling chopping block stand and just move it near the plug when I need it as opposed to keeping on counter.

I received this on may 25, 2023. I had to have my son unbox it so it was about a week before I got it set up. The machine had oil all over the sides and top, also in the depressions for feet. My son, who is a chef and owns a restaurant said to send it back. There was NO. DAMAGE to the box so I thought maybe it got tipped. I checked the oil level and it didn’t even register! I took the back off, per the instructions, there was NO OIL in the bottom of the sealer. I got the oil supplied with sealer and filled machine. IT NEVER REGISTERED IN FILL WINDOW! I noticed oil on the floor and the table. I tipped the sealer to look underneath and the was oil dripping from sides.  Read More

My location that utilizes this product is very pleased with its performance. It gets used daily and they've had no issues for over a year. Great size and bang for your buck. I would highly recommend.

Awesome machine. Worked great for 4 years until something I was sealing busted open. The machine began malfunctioning. That's what I'd expect. But GOOD LUCK trying to fix it. The machine is privately branded by Webstraunt as "Vacpac-it". There is no way to contact the manufacturer. Webstaraunt does not have the schematics, assembly drawings, detailed troubleshooting, or all of the replacement parts necessary for a repair. So buyer beware, this will be a throwaway item because two of the smartest troubleshooting technicians have worked on it for over 3 hours now. Although Webstaraunt tried to help, they couldn't because they don't have the information. Sad situation for my business. Don't buy this product.

This thing saves us so much money. We seal all of our proteins before they hit the freezer, and it keeps them in great shape for months. Same with nuts and coffee. Total workhorse.

Vacuum seals our items no problem! Easy to refill and use.

This vacpak-it machine works wonders! It is easy to use (worked out of the box) and works quick. I just wish I would have purchased it sooner.

Wow! Highly satisfied customer. Had choices with other machines but the fact it does what it’s designed to do extremely well, and the fact webstaurant guarantee’s and services this machine, it was an automatic purchase. You will not be disappointed in this machine.

I purchased this unit 11 months ago for home use and absolutely love it! It's built like a tank ( including weight ) and handles everything I've thrown at it. I have yet to have it over heat, unlike the Foodsaver suction vacuum units I had previously which overheated after a few bags. The oil pump keeps noise to a minimum and is very efficient. Easy to operate with only two settings, one for vacuum time and one for seal time. You can set vacuum time between 0 and 90 seconds (use 0 seconds if you want to seal one end of a bag cut from a roll) and seal time can be set between 0 and 6 seconds. I use 1.5 seconds for 4 mil bags. For solid items like steak, chicken, hard cheese, etc I use a 20-25 second seal time. Read More

This unit is fabulous for serious gardeners and meat smokers! We purchased the unit over a year ago and have had zero problems. We love that you can set the length of time for vacuuming on the VMC10OP, depending on the use and duration of storage. Living at high altitude (Mile Hi Denver), the oil vacuum pump is excellent at removing as much air as required. The unit will hold a whole medium-sized smoked chicken or 1/2 of a large smoked chicken straight out of the meat smoker (while hot), sealing in the hot juices! We had to glean the garden before a freeze and spent 3 hours sealing vegetables. Now we have a freezer full ready for winter! Stainless steel inside is easy to wipe clean with soap and water. We're Super happy with theVMC10OP!

As others have noted, shipping is very fast and apart from adding oil (easy) the machine is plug and play. I bought this to replace an external sealer and it just runs circles around it. It's also a workhorse. I have run it for 12 hours straight, and packed 500 lbs of pork in two days and the machine never stumbled. At about 7 cents a bag for the size I used vs. 50 cents for the external (FoodSaver) unit, it is on its way to paying for itself. The owner's manual is very slim and needs improving, but not worth docking a star for as its lack of detail did not cause me any problems. Still, it should be more comprehensive. All said, I'm very happy with my purchase.

The Vacpak-it Chamber Vacuum Packaging Machine is the best solution for frequent vacuum sealing purposes and also at the best price. It's pretty heavy for it's size, which means it's well made, so be careful when lifting and moving it. After reading through the manual twice and operating the machine based on the prescribed instructions, it was very easy to operate.

first, we just wanted to use this vacuum machine for a more effective way to store frozen items, no freezer burn, and more space since we don't need to freeze air inside a zip back any longer. but this machine is giving us new ideas every day. so, for example, we have those salt grinder with our natural American sea salt infusions. Instead of only sealing the caps we now seal and Baum the hole grinder. Makes it more professional and the customer loves it. once it is in your kitchen you will find lots of use cases for it! yes, it is not cheap but it is an investment! A good one in our views!

This thing is a workhorse. I haven't had an issue with this from day one. I am able to adjust the seal time when needed and it just doesn't get better than this for the price. Fantastic product.

I ordered the VMC10OP and it arrived in a few days. Very rapid service. The sealer works great. Set up was easy, and included with the unit were the tools required to set up and maintain the sealer (a screwdriver, and a wrench for changing the oil). The tools were of good quality. Also included was a bottle of vacuum pump oil, and a squeeze bottle to fill the vacuum pump. I would suggest you keep a supply of vacuum oil on hand for oil changes, and in case you should need to add a bit. The instructions were good, however they seemed to be created for a few different units and some might be confused. The sealer worked great, with no problems. I have already sealed over 100 lbs. of meat, along with some other food items. I Read More

I had seen a chamber style sealer in action before at a friends house and wanted one for myself for quite a while. This is hands-down better than a normal (non-chamber) style sealer, and the cost of the bags alone is going to pay for the machine in short-order. The machine is very quiet as others have mentioned and it required just a quick set-up by removing the rear panel to fill the oil reservoir. I am at altitude, 4,400ft so I did play around with the sealing times a bit. It takes 40 seconds or so per bag, but I will be getting the filler plates to help with the overall time to seal. If you want to impress your friends at your next party, throw an empty aluminum can in a bag and amaze them with the vacuum crushing ability of this machine! As far as delivery, mine arrived on a Saturday just one day after I placed my order!

Got it right on the second try. Thank you WebstaurantStore for correcting a problem very promptly. As many have mentioned before, shipping is very fast. Got the first unit within two days. It's oil cap was cross threaded at the factory and there was oil all over the unit and inside the packaging which had soaked into and discolored all the decals. Despite the undamaged, high quality packaging the teflon tape on the seal bar was torn, which indicates to me the damage was done in china, not in shipping. I contacted WS and they had a replacement ordered for me. It too only took two days to get here. So far i have only done a few test seals. So far it seems fine. so, take care not to cross thread the oil cap. as far as the filler plates WS offers for this unit, don"t waist your money. I have submitted a review on that page with details and thoughts...

I had used other vacuum tools at home for use with Sous Vide and storage of bulk purchased meats. I was never completely satisfied with the results I received from the products used. I finally purchased the VacPak-It VMC10OP chamber vacuum and couldn't be happier with it. I regularly purchase larger cuts of meat on sale and am able to divide into smaller portions and store for longer periods now. I also purchased 4 mil 10" x 13" bags and am glad for that as well. Using the thicker bags I did not get bone punctures in the backs. I can also boil stored foods to reheat when I get home from a busy day at work. I do consider this a large purchase for home use, but I don't have any regrets with the purchase I made.

This product works great and doesn't take too much room. Great for those who have a smaller space to work with. You can store this product away easily.

Great product. Very easy to use and efficient in terms of time management for prep cooks. Saves a lot of money in lost product from freezer burn.

butchered my own beef this machine was a great time saver. worked it non stop for 4 hours approx. 200 bags only one unsealed but that was due to a sharp bone that cut the bag. wish that I had went with 16 inch machine for bagging bigger roast but no complaint here. {great sealer for home owner!!!}
