Review on Machine Presets Delicate Starter Compact by Christine Allen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This vacuum sealer is a workhorse!

I've wanted a vacuum sealer for a long time and after reading the reviews and looking at the warranties the POTANE caught my eye. It has 4 performance modes. For example, if you are sealing bread, muffins, etc., choose mild mode. The vacuum won't be as strong, so your bread won't come out clean. Since I had meat juices in the sliced pork tenderloin, I turned on wet mode to keep the juices from being sucked out of the meat pack. Other vacuum sealers did not offer this option. In addition, POTANE only requires 20 seconds of cool down time between seals, while other cheaper models require 40 seconds. This is the only one with a 5 year guarantee. Some others only had the 30-day Revain guarantee. Yes, this one is more expensive, but it's worth it! When I got it I emptied my freezer and replaced all the items in the ziplock bags (some already frosted) and vacuumed each one. Not only is this great for keeping meat fresher longer, it's also great for cheese. I buy large slices of Parmigiano Reggiano and Gruyère from Sam. I cut them into 1 ounce blocks and vacuum seal each one. Now I can take freshly imported cheese out of the freezer to make it. As a newcomer to the world of vacuum sealers, I am very happy with my choice and purchase! This car is a workhorse!
