The 9 Best Vacuum Sealers We Tested That Keep Food Fresher for Longer
Deal Alert! Several of our favorite vacuum sealers are on sale right now, including two from Anova—the Precision Sous Vide Vacuum Sealer and the Precision Chamber Vacuum Sealer.
Oxygen is the enemy of freshness. Whether we’re talking about half an apple, a bag of potato chips, or a stack of frozen pork chops—when food is exposed to air, its flavor, color, and texture deteriorate.
That’s why we tested vacuum sealers: They can be incredibly useful kitchen tools. This appliance sucks the air out of a bag or canister and makes a hermetically sealed closure that can vastly extend the shelf life of what’s inside. It also protects food from moisture, which makes baked goods go stale and causes the heartbreak of freezer burn. With one of these machines, you can save on groceries by buying meats, spices, and more in bulk; freeze and preserve the haul from a hunting or fishing trip; or make your own jarred or bagged survival meals for emergencies.

What We Like
What We Don't Like
Beyond performance, we love how user-friendly this machine is: The latch locks easily, and there’s a timer that counts down until air extraction is complete and it’s time to press the heat-seal button. An accessory port allows you to attach a hose (unfortunately not included) for jars and canisters, and a built-in roll storage area and bag cutter allow you to cut bags to the exact size you need. The VS-12 includes a roll each of two bag sizes, and when you need more, it will work with just about any brand of replacement bags.
Besides its price, which is above-average but not absurdly so, the only negative we found with the VS-12 is that it’s quite loud in operation. That’s largely due to its powerful motor, which makes it an effective vacuum sealer; just don’t expect to hold a conversation while it’s running.
