Have not had a lot of time to use this machine yet but I can tell that I will use it for many things. You can tell that it is a far superior machine compared to the foodsaver brand. I had to wait a bit for it to arrive but it was well worth it. Arrived in great condition and had a sand vial to tell if it had been miss handled which I appreciate knowing it was taken care of during transportation. Vacuum Sealers Unlimited kept me informed every step of the way during the delay in receiving my machine. Two thumbs up to them. They have the best price on this machine plus great shipping. I highly recommend them!

This is an excellent, sturdy machine that works on and on, as efficient on the last seal as it was on the first. I use it several times a week in a household of only two people. Mainly, I buy bulk and repackage in portion sizes, thin enough to be thawed quickly in water for fast meal prep and no food waste. Last week I did 30 packages of chicken breast, and the Vacmaster worked effortlessly. Every seal is perfect the first time, unless you get a wrinkle in the seal, and most of those hold up.
It’s great for sous vide cooking. The bags stay submerged and never leak. Ordinary chamber sealing bags are all you need, nothing special.
If the inside edges are clean, you can reseal chip bags (no vacuum or they’ll crush), and frozen things like shrimp or veggies in their original packages.
It’s very easy to change the settings, and once you’ve sealed a few things, there’s nothing mysterious or confusing about it.
Jars are easy to do; upright for smaller jars, and horizontal for large jars, which means big jars can only hold dry goods, because the lids are slightly loose until sealed.
The machine is very heavy, about 90 pounds. Just getting it into the house and on the counter was quite a lift! Once on the counter, if you put furniture sliders under the feet, it will stay securely in place, but you can still slide it around your counter to change the oil or clean. I keep bags of several sizes in heavy manilla folders in a drawer under the Vacmaster.
Speaking of bags, it says you can’t use a bag longer than 13″, the length of the vacuum chamber. Actually, that’s if the bag contents are flat. If you seal a loaf of bread, or a whole chicken, a 17″ long bag is the way to go. Just make sure you never, ever, block the vacuum port (white circular thing with holes in it at the back of the chamber).
I can’t say enough good things about Vacuum Sealers Unlimited and LISA who is at the helm! She is just an outstanding human being to work with. I bought my Vacmaster the day before the tariffs in 2018 (probably along with a lot of other people). Vacmaster was out of the units, so I had to wait (was in no hurry), but Lisa got me the pre-tariff price offered online when I ordered. Then the package arrived with the shipping indicator showing it had been tipped over. Neither Fed-Ex nor her company web page listed what to do about that rare occurrence, and she had an emergency and was out of the office when the shipment arrived, so I sent it back. Actually, it costs a huge amount to ship these, and I should have had the delivery person note the condition of the package on the slip, and set it up to see if it was unharmed. But it went back, and I paid no extra shipping. I did have to wait for it to return to its point of origin, then wait for a new one to ship, but I did indeed get one that had not tipped over, and it has been in perfect working condition ever since. I just love it, despite the splurge and the space it takes on the counter.
It’s been a great choice for many reasons: the price of bags, the savings from bulk buying, perfect portion sizes so food doesn’t go to waste, the double-seal in one go, easy meal prep, and the extended freshness, refrigerated, frozen, or dry goods storage. The speed, vacuum strength, and reliable seal are all fabulous.

So far, so good. I have only had my VP215 for a few weeks now. It’s a very well built machine. It is a beast. It’s heavy, so my wife can’t move it herself. I have to get it out and move it to the counter when we use it. I am currently looking for a nice cart that we can leave it on and roll to the counter area when we need it. That way we won’t have to pick it up and move it around every time. I would recommend that to anyone thinking of buying one, unless you have a dedicated space you can leave it at permanently. No reason to throw out your back or drop this great piece of equipment. Setting it up was easy. Filling the oil is easy, just make sure not to over fill it. I did and had to immediately drain the oil and refill the reservoir to the correct level. Not a big deal, but a little time wasted unnecessarily. The chamber is nice and deep, which allows a good size portion of food to be packed. It comes with several spacers that can be used to fill unneeded space and reduce air volume whenever you package smaller items. It really saves some time vacuuming out the air from the chamber when you use them. The really great thing about this machine is the ability to vacuum pack wet items. I packaged a bag of soup to throw in the freezer and didn’t spill a drop or make a mess with all the liquid getting sucked out of the bag. I just dumped it in the bag and vacuum packed it straight from the fridge. No more freezing soups, stews and chilies in a Tupperware container then transferring to a vacuum bag to package. One thing to keep in mind is that you will want to let the high liquid level foods cool before packaging and leave a bigger excess at the top of the bag. If you don’t, it will boil in the vacuum and possibly make a big mess. This machine gives a nice tight vacuum of the contents and a great double line seal on the bag. I have not had a bad seal yet. The bags that you can use with this machine are nicer than the Foodsaver type bags that I used in the past and are much cheaper to purchase. If you do a lot of vacuum packing, buy this machine. It’s amazing. I would recommend Vacuum Sealers Unlimited to anyone looking for a vacuum sealer or sealer supplies. I emailed them before I put in my order and asked a lot of questions. Lisa responded to my email within a day and answered every one of my questions thoroughly and clearly. After I placed my order, Lisa called me personally to let me know that the machines were currently back ordered and would take longer than usual to ship. She called me again to let let me know that my machine had shipped and when it was scheduled to arrive. Great price, awesome customer service and an easy to navigate website. I’ll be back whenever I need bags or other supplies for my VacMaster. A+++

Having bought my first external suction sealer 3 years ago (2017), it began to lose some of its suction potency. I determined that as often as I vacuum pack and sous vide meals (several times a week), upgrading to a chamber machine that would last at least 10 years would be a worthwhile expenditure.
Only having the product for less than a week, so I haven’t had an opportunity to seal much (5 items), but I can already tell that the VP215 is a powerhouse that I’ll enjoy having in my kitchen for many years.
I want to give a special thanks to Lisa who did a great job communicating and answering all of my questions from the very beginning. She is a pleasure to work with and will steer you in the right direction.

Ordered my VP215 and received it 2 months early. Considering I thought I’d have to wait until mid December delivery was unexpectedly quick. Lisa the owner was extremely helpful over the telephone and through emails. As for delivery transport, YRC Transport was efficient and communicated with me every step of the way through telephone calls and emails. Warning on delivery! The VP215 is one heavy unit, “dead weight”. More than likely this should be a two man job to setup and place on a table. The written Instructions which came with the unit along with “youtube” videos were and are very helpful. The VP215 works as expected and is quite easy to operate. Only reason I did not give 5 stars is that 25 1/3 of the sample 3 mil bags included with the VP215 were too wide for the sealing bar of the VP215. They were the wrong sized bags. I trimmed all 25 and resealed one side of each bag. Hopefully they’re still usable. Still, I highly recommend purchasing through Vacuum Sealers Unlimited. Price point was right and to date they’ve been a pleasure to do business with.

Some people say you never know love until you look into the eyes of your first born child. Well…try dropping a bag of gumbo into this baby and watching it seal leak-free for the first time. I effing cried! it was so emotional and beautiful! You would understand if you ever tried this with a foodsaver.
I love to prepare foods in small batches that I can pop in the Sous Vide or microwave without having to worry about leftovers. less fridge clutter and dietary portion control.
I admit it does look intimidating in it’s simplicity but it is really simple to use and use is what you are going to want to do! I bought a freezer just so I can buy in bulk to use this thing!
It is also a great conversation piece in the kitchen. guest are always intrigued by it and amazed at how well it does. Some leave pissed because they now feel compelled to get something they never knew they needed in their lives. When I think back, life was lacking before this purchase. Lets just say that if my ex wife had some of the features this Vacmaster has, she wouldn’t be an ex!
BTW…LISA IS AWESOME!!!!! You will not find a nicer person and I love the fact that Vacuum Sealers Unlimited is woman owned!

I am thrilled with this machine! I was able to talk with Lisa and with a technician at VacMaster before purchase. Their availability and helpfulness was the reason I chose this machine! It is easy to use and the results are wonderful! You can’t go wrong with this purchase!

Vacuum Sealers Unlimited communicated with me every step of the way! From answering my pre-purchase questions to calling to verify my order and updating me on the expected shipping date and delivery expectations. The unit arrived strapped to a small pallet in perfect condition. I couldn’t ask for a better experience! The VP215 has been flawless so far. Thank you!

works awesome! Vacuum sealed 20 meat chickens in record time without any problems. Wish we would’ve bought one sooner instead of fighting the kitchen sealers! Thank you Lisa for all your help!

I just wanted to reach out about my recent transaction. I ordered a Vacmaster 215 and 1000 sealer bags last week. The lady I spoke with on the phone was very courteous and extremely knowledgeable. This made my the transaction smooth and easy. The items arrived much quicker than I had anticipated and in perfect condition. Thank you for a very good experience. I have shared your information with several people and I will be doing business with y’all in the future.
