Review on Vacuum Automatic Machine Include Indicator by Dianna Oden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great quality and better sealing than a $100+ machine

First of all, now that I'm writing this review, it only costs $20. This is an amazing price for what you get. It's an unknown brand, comes in a plain brown box and the instructions have a pretty good translation. Branded sealants come in a nice photo-printed box along with a well-written manual, but some cost up to 13 times more. I've been using the FoodSaver™ Vac 500 for about 10 years and it finally stopped working. I opened it up and the only problem was the pumping mechanism. The engine was still running and the sealing wire was still running, but there was no suction. It turned out to be a small silicon puck about the size of a US quarter that over the years became stiff and eventually disintegrated. The silicon washer was critical because it was the part of the piston that moved in the camshaft to release the air. I tried to fix it by making a replacement disc out of an old tire repair kit - the only problem was that the part was made out of rubber and not silicone. It worked once, but the friction was too great and... . . Well, rubber tends to soften as the temperature rises. The friction was too strong and it fell apart. So it was ziploc bags and a freezer until I could get a working machine. I'll probably still try to fix my old FoodSaver™ because that little piece of silicone is the weakest link and probably costs less than a dime. Otherwise the machine would still work. And I have a hard time tossing a perfectly maintained car into a landfill when I can fix it with just a tiny part that I could probably 3D print. Anyway, since I was in the process of vacuuming the steaks, they were ziplocs and a freezer. until I got this as a replacement. I was very surprised by this machine - honestly I wasn't expecting much for $20. Of course, the car I replaced was 10 years old, but I think I paid around $150-$200 at the time. This machine utilizes some of the design improvements made over the last 10 years such as: B. Using touch buttons and blue color. light-emitting diodes. The engine is a little louder, but not by much. I don't have a decibel meter, but I think it's somewhere between an electric clipper and a mid-speed hair dryer - you can talk about it if you must. (I have included video with sound). A nice improvement is that there is space inside to store vacuum bags and a built in blade for cutting the bags. It's basically the same concept as the standalone FoodSaver™ slicer/bag holder, but everything is inside the unit. Summer car, this isn't a strict apples-to-apples comparison. It has a dry and wet feed mode, which is good if you have something with liquid that could get into the pump that you don't have. The locking mechanism takes some effort to close and the buttons that lock it are plastic which I think is a weak point as the plastic can eventually break and make the whole thing much more difficult. use.Pros: - High-pressure vacuum removes almost all air from the bag - Internal bag roll storage - Built-in bag cutter - Touch buttons with attractive blue LED labels - Works with almost all vacuum sealer spare rolls (up to 12 inches) - Constructed of stainless steel - Bottom compartment for Cable storage Cons: - A bit noisy but not as noisy as a blender or garbage chute - Plain brown box, translated manual with a few confusing word substitutions - but not too difficult to understand - Plastic knobs for the locking mechanism that locks when something is under quite a bit of tension war, requires two hands and quite a lot of muscle power to lock the device. Maybe around 30 pounds to snap it into place, which isn't much, but small children and the elderly may have trouble closing it. Overall though, this is a great machine and it does what it's supposed to do. At the current price of $20, this is a very good deal for a regular quality machine.
