Magic Mill Professional Vacuum Sealer Machine Pro with New Patent Handle MVS-5181 for Food Bags, Marinate Bowls, and Meal Packing Cannister | Vacuum Sealer with Cutter and Jar Attachment

I have used this quite a bit and I love it. Easy to use.

Works wonderful and easy. It's been saving us money as now we buy in bulk

We buy a lot of food in bulk and vacuum seal it for long term storage in our chest freezer. So we have gone through several sealers over the years. We just love this unit, especially the double seal. That saves us a step as we would always seal the bags a second time. This is very easy to use, locks shut easily, and has several options for sealing. The manual seal works well for non-vacuum bags.

This is my 2nd vacuum sealer since I began using one. The first was a name brand Food Saver machine that lasted for years and years. That one had the auto grip sealer function, but that always acted up over the life of the product. It very suddenly stopped working (motor and suction would not come on). Okay, time for a new one. They still sell that original machine, but it is a few hundred dollars. I researched and read a lot of reviews this time and decided on this very cost friendly machine by Magic Mill. What really attracted me was the manual grip and seal and, of course, the price. This time around I wanted to try manually placing the bag, locking the lid in place and then sealing. Unlike the auto grip feature on my last machine, I have had zero issues with the Magic Mill. I also love, love, love the double seal lines this new machine does! The Food Saver did not do that and often found the seals had failed in the freezer. This machine is also much quieter and has better suction than my last sealer. Very easy to use controls. There is only one gripe I have with the Magic Mill machine, and it really has me scratching my head. When I first hooked the machine up, I could not fine the power button to turn it on. Reading the manual did not help. I did notice that the lights turned on when I plugged it in, but I really thought there would be a separate power/start button. I carefully re-read the manual and found the following under the Important Safeguards section: “Note: Always unplug the cord from the outlet before cleaning the appliance or when not in use.” Really, I have to unplug this machine when I’m not using it? That seems ridiculous. I think the engineer that came up with this product got to the end before realizing that he/she forgot to put in a power button, and then said, oh well, they can just unplug the unit. Crazy! But, not enough to make me send the unit back at this point. The other slightly annoying thing is that the drip tray is built in where you seal the bags and is not removable for washing. It just says to use a towel or sponge to clean out. I don’t think this will be too big an issue for me because my last machine had a removable drip tray and I can’t ever remember removing it to clean. This product also comes with the external accessory that allows you to vacuum canisters, wine bottles and stand alone bags. I never used this feature with my last machine (or very rarely), but nice to know I still have the option. It also comes with a spare lower/upper gasket, but I really don’t know why at this point. Is it because they expect one of the current ones to wear out quickly? I certainly hope not. I never had to replace the rubber gasket on my last machine. Makes me wonder about the longevity of this product. So, if this unit ends up lasting for years then I will count myself lucky for having a unit that does what it is supposed to at a bargain cost.

This is an awesome vacuum sealer. Works as it should. Love it. Thank you.

This machine the magic mill has everything you need and more. Storage for your cord, and for your bags. You can cut the bag the exact size you need without wasting then proceed to sealing. The suction is powerful and overall easy to use. I am so glad I found this machine and made this purchase after looking at so many just to find the one with all the features I wanted and at the right price. The magic mill also come with everything you need start and extras. Great buy!

I have been wanting this for about a year so i tried it i always but up vegetables dor the winter and it works perfect plus it dont get ice on the inside love love this product

Works great but has a cheap feel and you have to have the bags juiiiist right. Wouldn’t suggest for a big job as it would get annoying but good for the here and there need.
