Review on 🔒 Efficient Food Saver Vacuum Sealer Machine with Hands-Free Technology - FRESKO Vacuum Seal System, -95Kpa Power, and 20 Vacuum Bags Included by Brian Benford

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Can Fresko compete with FoodSaver at half price?

We had two automatic FoodSavers. They are generally amazing if you don't mind freeing up some extra counter space and willing to free up some space in your wallet! I liked Fresko's modern design, compact size, and automated features. How does it compare? Cliff's version of the notes: Very helpful indeed if you don't mind learning a few little tips. Read on to find out more. For starters, the sealer is in a league above several less-automated, highly-rated models in the $50-$75 range, including Nesco, NutriChef, Geryon, and even the less expensive Foodsaver models. Let's discuss the pros and cons: PROS: It takes up little counter space, is intuitive and easy to use. Freskko also automatically switches between vacuum and sealing modes. Dry mode is much more efficient at sucking out all the air before sealing. Wet mode seals too quickly for the meat I tried. When the sealing power is directly compared to twice the price of the $150 Foodsaver, the "suction power" is about 20% less powerful. This is not a problem, especially in meat drying mode. The most powerful professional sealers, like the $300 Weston, offer vacuum strength up to 28 Hg. Art., while mid-range models like this have slightly less power. More rt. Art. = faster sealing. ADVICE. If your food is fairly moist, a useful trick is to place the food in an unsealed bag in the freezer for about an hour. Then seal in dry mode for maximum durability. RECOMMENDATION: Fresko is a delight and an amazing purchase in its price range. Another plus, at the time of writing this review, Revain is offering a 30-day free return if not for you.
