VacPak-It VME16SS Stainless Steel External Vacuum Packaging Machine with 16" Seal Bar - 120V, 550W

Very happy with this machine. Purchased when a different unit died. Worth the price, we vacuum seal homemade sausages on a regular basis and this item has held up better than others we have worked with.

I recently bought the vacpak-it with the 16” bar. I’ve used about 20 times already and I love it. I’ve sealed left over pulled pork and big items such as whole racks of ribs. This size machine does it all!

love the machine! but as someone else stated no replacement parts!! now I have a machine I cannot use> this is very frustrating especially coming from a reputable company like this!! going to have to rethink what I buy from here.

I purchased this vacuum sealer and upon arrival I decided to order replacement seals for later because that is generally what needs replacing down the road. Well, there are no replace parts available for this model. I called customer service to verify and was told "no seals available", so I said I'll simply return it and was told there is "a 30% restocking fee" BUYER BEWARE...! I am not happy nor will I pay a restock fee for an expensive item which no parts are available. If you are shopping for a vacuum sealer make sure there are replacement parts available.

I was excited when I saw this sealer but after using it a few times I'm very disappointed. it takes for ever to suck the bags to seal. I had a cheap one form another company that worked MUCH better.

Unit failed on first use... wouldn’t suck the air out of the bag and wouldn’t lock handle as stated. After 30 seconds, smoke poured out of back. Unit was refunded by webrestaurantstore...thank you!

This vacuum sealer is not worth the money. In the 20 times I used it, it only got all the air out of my bags ONCE suitable for Sous Vide. The water displacement method and a press and seal bag worked far better than this unit. After talking to several folks either on the phone, via chat, or email, I am still stuck with a couple hundred dollar paper weight. The customer service team has let me down big time and all I've tried to do was return the unit and get my money back. They've made it absurdly difficult to achieve this.

We purchased this a few months ago and have used it every month so far. The heaviest we've used it thus far was processing 45 pounds of chicken breast. We wanted this level of machinery for those heavy use days and it's really worked out well so far. The quality seems to be robust. I like having the option of the accessory, wider seal bar and fan to cool the unit.

DO NOT Purchase! We bought this vacuum sealer a few weeks back because we freeze our own vegetables. We were just now able to start using it. It gives error codes E01 and E02 continuously. It has left us in a very bad predicament because I have vegetables that need to be sealed and frozen today! I would give it a minus rating if I could.

Had this Vac-Pac for over 8 months and works as described. Came with extra seals. I use this on average once a day and vacpak about 50-80 pizza and haven't had an issue yet. Its durable and heavy duty. Overall this is worth the money.

very pleased with my purchase

Great for light usage. do not look for replacement parts or help on the internet when something goes wrong there is nothing. Do not buy the extended warranty not worth it. Ultimately they make it so hard to send it back to them then you have to be without the a unit for however long it takes them to fix whatever is wrong and there is a huge list of things that is not covered by that warranty. Just buy a new one which is what they want you to do. You need upper body strength to use it.

We have been using this product for a couple years now. Have had no issues with it. Highly recommended for daily use in a restaurant.

What a great product. Works great and easy to use. I would highly recomend this unit.

After basically burning up three home vacuum sealing appliances within five years I decided to purchase a commercial grade system. I love this unit with it's strong and variable vacuum as well as the ability to use 15-inch wide bag rolls. The items sealed on this unit do not lose their seal like home units have done in the past for me. Great item to prepare dishes for sous vide.

After shopping for a commercial qaulity vacuum sealer this unit kept comming up as a graet value. Performs exactly as I expected. The only thing that would be nice is a locking lid so you don't have to apply pressure by hand until vacuum stars building, minor little added feature I think would be nice.

The machine is great looking, with easy controls. The instructions are a little vague, but once you figure out how to use it its easy.
