Chamber Vac Sealers

Anyone have experience with these? Been looking into these Vevor units. Seem to be quite the deal. And simple enough for even me to work with. We have a Food Saver unit. Thing has frustrated me to the point been relying on my wife to seal the freezer packs. Looking at this particular model https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D25WCVYD/?tag=tvwb-20
 
My Son bought one a few years ago, black friday sale 1/2 off.
We used it for sausages, works great.
It could just be a rebranded Vevor or?
Sure looks like the slightly larger version of the one I ordered. But, from Vevor directly it's only about $350. But, for $209 plus tax I didn't think I would go wrong. They have a 30 day no strings return policy as well
 
I've had a chamber sealer on my someday maybe list for a while, just hasn't been a priority.

A take-away I picked up is don't vac-seal warm liquids... The vacuum lowers the boiling point and there's nothing worse than explosive gravy or soup.
 
Well hard to believe. Ordered yesterday, a tracking number provided for UPS and I happened this AM to look at UPS and it tells me the unit is loaded on a truck and will be out for delivery today! Man, talk about service!
 
OK well I gave it a whirl. The video is a bit misleading. I was not prepared for how quiet the thing is. Fast too. I got 3 thick ribeyes perfectly sealed up in about 2 min. Impressive instead of struggling with the Food Saver
 
Very nice! But I thought we'd hear some excitement in your voice.

It is also nice that it includes a very comprehensive owner's manual, I noticed.

I typically don't talk on these types of videos. I think I was doing a little "heavy breathing" though :D Funny thing is yeah it has a fairly comprehensive manual but really the only "difficult" things are getting the beast out of the box. I think UPS man had a hernia getting it to my door. The thing by itself weighs 50# and all packed was about 60#. And no handholds on the box just big square heavy cardboard. And then the setup was a touch involved as you have to remove a large screw from the back, take off an air/oil filter, fill the pump with oil which was weird. Because it went from not showing on the sight glass to over filled in a blink. So, I had to drain it and start over LOL. Once done the thing is way more simple to use than the Food Saver. I spent close to 30 minutes trying to just figure that thing out. And, had multiple failure to evacuate and or seal cycles. So, to freeze a few beef ribs the Food Saver took me close to 90 minutes. In 20 minutes on the Vevor I unboxed it, read the manual, set it up, and sealed up 3 Prime grade Ribeye steaks pretty as you please like this. Only thing I can see here that may be an issue is trying to vac seal larger cuts. As you're limited to the size of the actual chamber. Also unless you buy pre-made bags you sort of have to jump through some minor hoops to use the rolls of cut to size bags. But, for 90+% of what I will seal I gotta say I am impressed

So, I had a huge batch of Italian fried peppers I made thinking I needed more than I did. Taking up space in a large bowl in my fridge. Well, on a whim I put the big sealer to the test. I filled up a bag with them. Reduced the vacuum time to 25 seconds, wiped the edge off well and placed it in the sealer chamber. Absolutely amazed. Did not evacuate any liquid and sealed it all up to a nice flat pouch. Perfect for the next time I want to make Italian Beef or Sausage and peppers.
 
Tried a cool thing I always see on cooking shows. Made a nice marinade for chicken breasts today, scored them, put them in a vacuum bag and vacuum sealed them in with marinade. I guess the theory is it really draws the marinade into the meat?

In theory, yeah. What really happens is when the vacuum is released, atmospheric pressure tries to stuff the marinade into the meat.

My roll sealer has an accessory port and a couple of rigid chambers. Drop meat in the chamber with the marinade, put the lid on, connect the vacuum hose and start the machine. It cycles vacuum, release, vacuum, release, lather, rinse, repeat.
 
I would have never thought of one. But, my desperation and frustration with the Food Saver product led me down the crooked path :D Honestly IDK why it took so long to discover this
