Review on πŸ”’ Weston 65-0501-W Pro Advantage Vacuum Sealer, 11-inch, Stainless Steel and Black by Ethan Dualimace

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Like many other buyers, bought it in July.

Like many other buyers, I bought it in July 2017 after watching the ATK video. I wanted to replace a Foodsaver that was 4 or 5 years old and eventually died. I only use it 6 or 8 times a year to vacuum seal fish in the freezer. Weston was problematic from the start, but I really wanted him to work. I replaced the gasket but that didn't help. It basically turned on, started vacuuming, hit four bars (out of 7) on the vacuum progression, and then just ran and ran and ran. After all, you read some reviews and saw one where the buyer told you to press REALLY FIRMLY on the center of the lid to complete the vacuuming and sealing. It seems to work but what a pain. Now I wish I had gone with another Foodsaver from Costco.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Reliability
