VacPak-It VMC16 Chamber Vacuum Packaging Machine with 16" Seal Bar and Oil Pump

I've had this unit for a couple weeks now, replacing a smaller VacMaster unit. It appears to be well made and has worked flawlessly in that time. However, there are some shortcomings. The information available is somewhat limited. Asking a sales rep for the unit's weight revealed that such simple info isn't available. (This would have been useful when determining the table that this would be located upon.) Many units of this size/price use glass for the cover. With no information in the description, I had assumed it was a glass top but appears to be a thick plastic. My last unit failed due to the plastic cover cracking. The manual also leaves something to be desired when it comes to oil management. The instructions for initial oil filling is nothing but useless word salad. Doesn't say how much oil is Read More

Purchased this in late 2018. This thing is a beast :) Ended up buying a 24" x 24" stainless steel table with wheels so that we can move this thing around when not being used. We buy a lot of products in bulk, portion them out and use the chamber vac to prep them for storage in the freezer. We buy the thicker bags 4 mil bags and the results have exceeded expectations. The lid on my chamber vac stopped working correctly a couple days ago.....contacted Websturant support via online chat......was in contact with as support person within a minute or two, figured out the part needed, and had it on order a couple minutes later. Great support experience.

I am not a commercial business, however, I have been involved in sous vide /vacuum sealing for a long time. I had a external vacuum sealer for around 12 years and wanted to level up my game for sous vide and storage. I got the 16" inch width seal bar model for a bunch of reasons. 1) I want to be able to sear meat, then vacuum seal without dealing with the mess and faulty seals of an external model. This model does that in spades. 2) I wanted to reduce my packaging costs. 1000 bags at .07 per bag will pay for this machine if you are committed over a multiyear period. 3) the seal bar on this allows me to to do 2 8" wide packages which supports most of the items I will be vacuum packaging and I can Read More

Great vacuum sealer! We had a commercial Weston vacuum for years but they were not keeping up as we got busier. This one is heavy duty, easy to clean and seals tight and clean heat seals every time. Highly recommended.

The unit is sturdy and so far (i have it for couple months now) has been working as expected. A little bit loud when in use but it's doing what we expect it to do so i am happy with the purchase

I use this vacuum sealer every week to vacuum seal pizzas to be frozen. It is easy to use and it works great. Great for preserving food.
