So happy to have it

I love this vacuum sealer. I've tried to come up with "hacks" to use smooth vacuum bags with a vacuum setting, but they've never worked so well. Trade units for fancy packaging are also a stroke of luck, so an unattractive result anyway. This sealer does its job really well. The suction is strong and you can vary both the suction time and the sealing time which is great for different items and I guess different bags (I've only ever used one type). I recommend using the larger liquid container that comes with the kit if you're doing anything with liquids, it's very easy to fill up if you're doing things like tomatoes or fruit. My two complaints: stop the thing as soon as you start it. You should turn it off immediately.- Cleaning the liquid line is a bit strange. They don't recommend it at all, which seems pretty unsanitary to me. The only good way I've found how to do this is to pour some liquid into a vacuum bag, set the sealing time to 1 second, and then use that bag of water to clean out the line (use a larger one Container!). The short sealing time allows this bag to be reused. It works, but it seems strange that you need to do these workarounds.
