I bought this sealer in December and find it to be easy to use. Like you, the only thing I would change is make the drip tray removable. It's not a big deal but it would be nice to be able to just pop it out and rinse it off. My solution is to roll a bit of paper towel up and lay it in the trough when I seal anything that has moisture in it (like soup). It doesn't interfere with operation and I just pitch the paper towel if it gets any drips on it.

Bought this today I've had good service from our other Nesco appliances, dehydrator and electric canner so I felt fairly confident purchasing on the name. Thanks for the video.

Excellent video - I have this vacuum sealer - it’s great - but I couldn’t figure out how to remove the drip tray to clean it - and found your video.

[zacharyrowe]

Thank you for being straight forward. Some people get goofy in these review videos. Good video!

[tesshiva]

Got mine today; this was a handy, short video - Many Thanks!

Affiliate links make ANY review questionable, but since they now dominate the platform, I guess we are stuck with them. Probably why it is almost impossible to find a review that points out any serious flaws in a product. If a reviewer tells people not to buy the product, they lose out on money they earn from people clicking on the link. Sorry, I'm not picking on this video in particular. This is just a general rant against a flawed system. Something YouTube is an expert at.

I have one. It really is a great product given its reasonable price.

[koolpapabell]

Your video is on the Amazon site well done

[rosiegutierrez]

Can't thank you enough for this video 😊

You need to use a cheap ziplock bag for +++ANY+++ content with liquid’s and place inside vacuum bag prior to sealing.

# 1 You Save the Vacuum Bag for Reusable Sealing.
# 2 You keep Vacuum Tray Clean eliminating messy spills and pulling out the Tray. ( Unless you have A need to feed your OCD! Another brand may be required!)😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is my favorite sealer for needing the big to small bag’s & the double sealing is a must for always fresh tasting fish. Simply the best Vac Sealer I’ve used.!

Please warn people that the canister vacuum accessories for the VS-12 are no longer sold and no one has one. SO that function is useless.
I wish someone had pointed this out a week ago.

Can’t you just seal the leading portion of the roll? That is, pull just a little, seal, then pull the rest and cut?

[wiseacre]

great video but you didn't mention anything about the canister option

[scanety]

Another reviewer stated that you must use the "textured" sealer bags--have you found any difference in sealing with the smooth vs textured bags?

[stephenstange]

I have a foodsaver and I don’t like that you have to wait so long between bags for it to cool down. I recently sealed 10lb of bacon end and pieces into 1/2 lb bags. 2 major problems, 1. Waiting for the machine to cool down between bags was the majority of the time, 2, because the bacon pieces were frosty, they released some moisture which the foodsaver could not seal. How well does this unit work with moist foods (chopped onions???). I am frustrated with my foodsaver and looking for an alternative.

[lohbut]

I’m debating between the Anova. The best thing I like about the Anova is that it double seals all the time. You don’t have to set it. The Anova looks more aesthetically pleasing.

Hi, is still working? I've seen comments that claim it breaks down after a couple of months :(

I’m trying to decide which vacuum sealer to purchase. I got a Food Saver for Christmas and it didn’t work so I contacted them and they sent me a replacement and that one didn’t work either. I want a different brand now and Nesco is one I’m very interested in. I already have a ton of bags. Will any brand bag work in this particular machine?

[nicki]

Can you make very small bags? I am trying to decide if I want this machine or the inkbird machine. Thanks

[andersonrivera]

Does meat with more liquids seal it well?
