Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Packmate 95000 Vacu-Seal Starter Kit with Handheld Vacuum Sealer and Bags
Customer Review: let down
Summary: 2 Stars
I wouldn't recommend this item. Sucks the air out of the bag, then later air is back in the bag. The problem is either with the handheld vacuum or bags. Either way, can this item be return?Customer Review: seals don't hold
Summary: 1 Stars
Pros: When it works and the bags hold their seal, it does a great job.
Cons: the above happens very infrequently. The seal seems fine, the wants suctions out all of the air and then a day later there is air in the bag. I need something that will consistently seal and am likely going to have to invest in an expensive countertop foodsaver.
If you can somehow get the bags to stay sealed and want to use them, you don't even need the wand, just suck the air out of the bag with your mouth over the valve. I've been doing that lately to quickly remove the air from bags each day or two for things that I really want to keep fresh.
Customer Review: Don't buy because you will never find replacement bags
Summary: 1 Stars
As stated this is a great product. I've never had problems and kit comes with 3 quart bags. I didn't have a problem throwing them away with certain foods. Then I tried to find a replacement box. What a joke! Web showed Target had some but were on backorder. After three months Target said they couldn't get them. The tool will not work with any other bags. It seems the marketing on these items is to get you to buy the tool; discontinue, and then you will have to buy a different brand. Noticed this for Reynolds Handi-Vac too. You get what you pay for. Three bags only and a tool. That should be its name!Customer Review: Great machine that is worthless
Summary: 1 Stars
I received this as a gift several months ago. I was told that the item was on sale given the fact that it was no longer going to be stocked. I like the fact that it is small in size, portable and seals food without any issues. The problem is that I cannot find any replacement bags. It's like buying a car without a gas tank. I've repeatedly searched the web and the only thing I find is retailers selling the starter kit. It would be interesting to know if there are any other manufacturers (Reynolds, Ziploc, etc)who make bags that would compatible. Any feedback would be appreciated!Customer Review: Problems
Summary: 1 Stars
When I first bought the product I was really happy with it, but the more I've used it the more difficult it has become for the bags to actually catch and seal. I sealed some meat last night and it tookabout 15 minutes to seal 4 bags. Along with that problem is the power problem. They should have either made it rechargable or added a cord option...Especially when it takes so long to catch and start vacuuming. Finally I too found some bags lose their seal. It's a damn shame these problems came up because this was really handy when I first got it
