hey guys it's taylor here with another video now vacuum sealers are wonderful in that they
help keep your food fresh for a longer period of time basically they work by removing all the air
from the bag before sealing it shut so this not only keeps oxygen away from your food but also
prevents freezer burn that said vacuum sealers are not all created equal and some do have the
challenge of not producing enough suction power to remove all the air around your food likewise
it's important to choose a unit that seals reliably to prevent air from seeping back in
so with that in mind i put together a list of the three best vacuum sealers that not
only address these factors but also provide great value for your money and then depending
on your particular situation you can see which one might be the best option for you
and as always you can check pricing for any of these products in the description below
and if i'm able to get any discounts or coupon codes i'll include those for you as well so first
up is our pick for the best overall vacuum sealer and that's going to be the anova precision vacuum
sealer pro this awesome vacuum sealer comes with a handful of features that make it stand out from
the competition for one thing it has a very sleek and modern design that will look great
on any countertop it also comes with a ceiling bar that's twice as long as most other vacuum sealers
on the market which means you can seal larger bags or multiple bags at the same time now one of our
favorite features of this vacuum sealer is the fact you can operate this unit with just one hand
this makes it really easy to use even if you're in a hurry plus it comes with a built-in cutter
so you can create custom sized bags that are perfect for whatever you're trying to seal
and speaking of sealing this unit has no problem removing all the air from around your food
in fact it has a pump that produces up to 22 pounds of pressure per square inch it also
comes with a wet mode feature that you can use to double seal moist food like marinade and soup this
low suction setting prevents liquids from getting sucked and potentially damaging the unit which
is always a plus another great feature of this vacuum sealer is a hidden storage compartment for
the sealing bags this is really handy because it means you don't have to go hunting for bags every
time you want to use the sealer just open up the compartment grab a bag and you're good to go last
but not least this unit comes with a vacuum hose attachment so you can use it to seal containers
like mason jars or food storage containers this is a feature that's not found on all vacuum sealers
and it's definitely a game changer if you want to be able to store food in both bags and containers
of course no vacuum sealer is perfect and for this one we did find a few downsides that are
worth considering for one thing the bag cutter is located at the back of the unit this makes it a
little difficult to determine the bag size you need we also found it odd that the position of
the seal bar is outside the vacuum gasket this means that you have to be extra careful not to
touch the gasket with the food you're trying to seal there's also about an inch of wasted
bag space at the top of the bag because of the design of the ceiling bar still these are minor
quirks for an otherwise reliable and top quality vacuum sealer so all in all the inova precision
vacuum sealer pro is the best vacuum sealer that we can recommend to most people it's well designed
easy to use and packed with features that are really handy so whether you're a casual user or
a serious home cook and just want to get the best option out there then this would be the one to get
next up is our pick for the best vacuum sealer with extra controls for advanced users and that's
going to be the nesco vs12 deluxe vacuum sealer now this vacuum sealer offers many of the same
features as the anova vacuum sealer that we just talked about this includes a powerful pump that
generates up to 22 pounds of pressure per square inch a built-in cutter for custom bag sizes and a
hidden storage compartment for the bags you also get a vacuum hose attachment for sealing food
containers however what sets nesco vacuum sealer apart is its additional controls and features
for one thing it has a three ceiling setting that includes dry moist and double for sealing
wet foods you also get two pressure settings normal and gentle this is great for delicate
items like bread and baked goods that you don't want to crush during the sealing process we also
like that this vacuum sealer has a cancel button for stopping the sealing process at any time
it's more useful than you might think and it's a feature that's not found on all vacuum sealers
for example if you're stealing a bag of chips and you see that some of the chips are getting crushed
you can just hit the cancel button and stop the process now you might be wondering if this vacuum
sealer has all the features of the anova plus more then why isn't it our best overall pick
well it does have its share of downsides as well for one thing it's a lot bulkier and nearly two
times wider than the anova vacuum sealer this can be a problem if you have limited counter space or
if you plan on storing it in a cabinet when not in use also the extra controls means that it gets
a little confusing to use especially if you're a first timer but still these are minor issues to an
otherwise capable and very reliable vacuum sealer so basically if you're looking for an advanced
model with extra features that give you complete control over the sealing process then the nesco
vs12 deluxe vacuum sealer would be the best option for you and last but not least is our pick for the
best budget vacuum sealer and that's going to be the innova precision vacuum sealer now anova is
well known for making quality and reliable kitchen electronics and the same is true for their budget
line of vacuum sealers for under eighty dollars you'll get all the essential features that you'd
expect from a quality vacuum sealer in a small and budget friendly package while it lacks the bells
and whistles of the other models we've talked about it still gets the job done and does it very
well for starters you get a vacuum pump that can generate around 18 pounds of pressure per square
inch this is more than enough for most home sealing applications another thing that we
really liked about this vacuum sealer is its small size at just 16 inches long and 5 inches wide it's
the perfect size for small kitchen countertops and when you're not using it you can easily store
it away in a drawer or cupboard of course as a budget pick you can expect to make some sacrifices
one of those is the lack of variable settings for controlling vacuum pressure there's no vacuum hose
attachment either so you won't be able to use this vacuum to seal jars and other containers
and finally you don't get integrated storage for cutters for your bags that said you can always
use kitchen shears and storage containers to keep your bags organized so overall the
inova precision vacuum sealer is the best budget vacuum sealer that we can recommend to most people
it's small budget friendly and gets the job done for occasional users so that wraps up our list
