Testing 6 different handheld vacuum sealers!
Рет қаралды 107,363
8 ай бұрынAfter the rise and fall of the original handheld vacuum sealer that I love (and still use!), I decided to test out some alternative versions so that I could recommend one to you to use for your dry storage. There were a few clear losers and more than one winner!
📍 LINKS MENTIONED
👉Handheld vacuum sealer → amzn.to/3InayF7 This is the one you see me use in all the videos now. The original #1 was no longer in stock, so I tested this one and it works even better.
👉Hurrikane vacuum sealer → amzn.to/3PU1Lh5
👉Daika Manual Jar Sealer → amzn.to/46xaOfg
(ForJars has a version like this, as well, but shipping is expensive unless you combine with other products to get free shipping - forjars.co?sca_ref=1912723.5vNLp0drZl )
👉Cookwise Jar Opener → amzn.to/3PY2HB4
👉Brake Bleeder → amzn.to/3FlVK7W
👉Foodsaver Handheld Vacuum Sealer → amzn.to/3rPKo9g

It's so good to see these devices in action. My vp06 is a life-style upgrade, I have not needed my brake bleeder since I purchased it. The vp06 also fits in a convenient drawer if stored as two parts. The feature I want most in a hand-held vacuum sealer is a POWER CORD that accesses INSTANT power from a wall socket. Devices of any kind that require battery management/monitoring are becoming more of a nuisance than an asset. For now, I am grateful to have the vp06 with brake bleeder backup and grateful that Darcy is keeping us up to date on what the market offers. Many thanks to you!

Best way to test a Vacuum sealer. Seal a jar of marshmallows. I thought they would get small when air is sucked out. Not the case. The puff out. Very fun to watch and try. And marshmallows will last a good while!

Now that's a question to pose to, I guess, maybe a physicist....? Who woulda thunk that removing air or moisture would cause something to expand rather than contract ? Seems like some law of physics is being broken. 🤔

It’s simple, quick, and seals every time even with regular size lids. Using my old methods caused me to skip the sealing because it wasn’t worth the effort with poor results. Now I feel like my dried foods will be nutritious a lot longer. Thanks so much. I love your channel because it’s straight to the point and ever so useful. Thanks, Darcy!

I've been looking for ways to reseal recycled jars with rubber seals in lid (ex.pasta sauce). I bought avid armor vacuum food containers after watching a yt review, can't remember who. Game changer, sealed the jars, it fits the foodsaver hose.... Now you got me thinking I have to play and see if canning jars will seal. I got tired of using my canning jars up when I have so many recycled jars. Edit. Put jar with lid, ring on loose to hold flat, worked.

Thank you so much for this information. I don’t vacuum seal very much ( I water bath can and I’m still new to that process ) but I like to vacuum seal things I make in small amounts. Yesterday I tried out a new salsa recipe ( I got 2 - 3/4 full pints) and just put lids then into the fridge. Fast forward to watching this . As soon as your video was over I went and grabbed my VPO5 ( I’ve never read the directions so I had no idea about how long to let it seal) and one of the jars. Now that you explained the timing part I wanted to see if I could seal it being cold and only 3/4 full and like magic it sealed perfectly on the first try. I’m going start using it way more than I used to. Thank you Darcy for the great information I really appreciate it. 🫙🫙🫙🙋🏼♀️👏👏👏

That thing does not work at all for me when it comes to vacuum sealing jars. Don't know why, since it's perfect when sealing the bags....??! Thank you for breaking down the different types of hand held vacuum sealers. There are so many different types that have popped up just this past year.

I took the plunge and got a garage style 1/2 horsepower dual-stage rotary vane vacuum pump ($130). I use it with the Foodsaver mason jar tops. It's been working great for over two years now, but it does use a small amount of oil that need to be changed once in a while. The advantages are how quickly it does the jars, and I can use it with a vacuum chamber for doing multiple jars or for other projects that need such a pump.
@ThePurposefulPantry 8 ай бұрын
Yep - I'll be doing a chamber style sealer review later when we build one and then do a chamber vac, too. But this is a bit more manageable for folks. I'm glad you have one that works for you!
@g-whiz286 7 ай бұрын
I also use a dual-stage rotary vane vacuum pump, but it is coupled to a 5 gallon vacuum vessel so I can seal all kinds of jars, including recycled commercial and gallon sized jars. I disagree with the premise that "vacuum sealing is not necessary" as I have preserved things like chips, cereal, cookies, crackers, etc. that have stayed fresh for 5 years. I've only been doing this for 5 years. In a completely oxygen free environment, there is no mechanism for them to go stale as they cannot oxidize. I'm confident that is due to the extremely hard vacuum the dual stage pump offers. So hard that I often cannot twist off a commercial jar lid without punching a hole in it first.

I have that nutri seal & the regular mouth never seals. The cap thingy is so hard to get off, it always pulled the lid off too. Very frustrating. The wide mouth seals pretty good, but again, really hard to pull off.

Darcy, thank you for this great info. Do you nd to add oxyen absorbers in the jars as well for long-term storage?

No - vacuum sealing performs the same function - I don't use O2 with dehydrated foods at all.

I've used both the vacuum they sell at Costco and the little round one that runs on a battery and I'll take the little round one every day never malfunctions easy to use and recharge with USB-C

Thanks found it for $20 on amazon. I was pumping and hands don't always work with age.

The last two machines with the tube - especially the manual one, (I have a similar one.) The tube doesn't just work to attach it to a machine. I use the tube between the manual pump and the jar. It's much easier for me, than trying to keep it centered.

PS love the video. Thanks for testing these. I've been thinking about getting a new one soon. ❤

Like I mentioned - it will depending on the machine it's being attached to. If only they were all universal!

@@ThePurposefulPantry I mean to use the tube between the manual pump that it came with, and the jar you're sealing, so you don't have to hold it on top.

Hi Darcy, all your lids were the 2-part style, just wondering if you had a vacuum recommendation for screw-on lug lids? (There's not as much availability in the UK) Thanks
@ThePurposefulPantry 3 ай бұрын
A brake bleeder sometimes can do it, or a chamber vacuum sealer (look that up on KZfaq). These work for 2 lids.

When I use the regular lids and it finishes at twist the big part off and then twist the little part off.
