How to Buy a Vacuum Sealer: Top 5 Questions Answered

1. What Types of Vacuum Sealers Are Available?

There are primarily three types of vacuum sealers: handheld, external (or countertop), and commercial-grade sealers. Handheld sealers are compact and great for occasional use, but they typically don't remove as much air as other types. External vacuum sealers are common for home use, offering stronger suction and more reliable sealing. Commercial-grade sealers are heavy-duty and used in professional kitchens.

2. What Features Should I Look For in a Vacuum Sealer?

Important features include seal strength, suction power, bag compatibility, and additional functions like marinating or pulse vacuuming. A good vacuum sealer usually has adjustable suction levels and multiple sealing modes (such as dry and moist). Look for models with user-friendly controls and indicator lights for ease of use.

3. What Are the Best Materials for Vacuum Sealer Bags?

Vacuum sealer bags come in nylon/polyethylene laminates or BPA-free plastics. For food safety, choose BPA-free bags designed specifically for vacuum sealing. Textured or embossed bags help air removal, essential for an efficient seal. Also, thicker bags (3-4 mil or more) prevent punctures and preserve food better.

4. How Important Is the Warranty and Brand Reputation?

Warranty coverage is essential since vacuum sealers involve mechanical and electrical parts that can wear out. Brands like FoodSaver, Anova, and NESCO offer warranties ranging from 1 to 5 years. Choosing a reputable brand like Jiaolong ensures access to customer support and spare parts, which can be crucial for long-term satisfaction.

5. Are There Any Tips to Maintain and Use a Vacuum Sealer Effectively?

To extend your vacuum sealer's life, clean the sealing strip and gasket regularly, avoid sealing liquids directly unless the model supports it, and store bags properly to avoid wrinkles. Use the pulse vacuum function for delicate items like bread or berries. Proper use and maintenance help maintain optimal performance and durability.

Can I change the product design or function?

In ODM services, customers can completely change the design or function, and we will make corresponding modifications according to your needs.

We will provide samples for your review after confirming any design and functional changes.

What is the delivery time for customized products?

The delivery time usually depends on the complexity of the product, the degree of customization, and the production schedule.
