Customer Review Summary
Pros and Cons
The Seal-a-Meal Vacuum Sealer unit has quite a few positive eviews. What consumers appreciated most about the Seal-a-Meal Vacuum Sealer is it’s size, price and ease of use. The Seal-a-Meal Vacuum Sealer is small enough to travel take along on a camping trip or to move around on the counter-top as needed. Everyday food storage needs will be able to be accomplished with little effort.
The majority of consumers were happy with its suction and sealing performance. However, a slightly more advanced vacuum sealer may be needed for large sealing jobs or hours of use. Using this unit as indicated will get you good results.
Consumers were displeased about the Seal-a-Meal Vacuum Sealer having no place for bag roll storage, which can be a bit inconvenient. Lack of suction power was also experienced. Additional issues reported were in regard to the press/hold and release feature not working properly. Some users felt as if too much pressure was needed when trying to engage in sealing.
I’m really not sure of the manufacture’s process for handling customer related issues, but I do know that Amazon is pretty good about fulfilling consumer returns and exchanges.
