The details

If you've never used a vacuum sealer on your food before, it may be time to consider adding one to your collection of kitchen essentials. When used on items like meat or vegetables, this vacuum sealer helps preserve freshness for up to eight times longer than other storage methods.

Thanks to a highly effective vacuum pump, this machine quickly suctions air out of the included vacuum seal bags to help prevent freezer burn and reduce food waste. It features multiple settings to tackle a range of foods, including everything from meat to dried goods to baked treats.

'No more freezer burn'

A popular choice among Amazon shoppers, the Meidong Food Vacuum Sealer Machine has received a 4.3-star average rating from hundreds of customer reviews. Shoppers have called this vacuum sealer an "amazing little unit" that delivers "perfect results every time."

Shoppers agree that it "will save a lot of money in the long run," as bulk food purchases can be divided into smaller portions for use at different times.

As with any new appliance, reviewers note that there is "a bit of a learning curve" when it comes to figuring out how to use this vacuum sealer. They also caution that you make sure to exclusively use vacuum seal bags when sealing food, as "regular bags will not work."
