The Crenova V60 tries to be a value priced vacuum sealer, but when compared to other models, it really doesn't offer a great value. The NutriChef PKVS18SL has a much higher quality construction, has more features, easier to operate functions and has a better price, so we recommend it instead.
PROS
- Budget priced.
- Easy to read and use control panel.
- Seals wet/dry foods.
CONS
- Manual bag sealing process.
- No on board bag roll storage.
- Doesn't feel very durable.
Crenova V60 Review
The Crenova V60 is a lower range Vacuum Sealer that should only be considered by people who need to vacuum seal things on an infrequent basis. It is very small and compact in size which does make it easy to store away when not in use. To use the unit, you place a bag on the sealing bar, and close the lid until you hear a click indicating it's locked in place. You then press the button that most closely matches the type of food you are sealing, and the unit starts operating. While there is no on board bag roll storage, there is a built in bag cutter, which saves you from having to hunt around for a pair of scissors. It has a dedicated pulse mode for sealing delicate food items. It comes with an accessory hose for sealing canisters and containers, but there's no storage for the hose it just sort of hangs off the back.
There are some negative aspects you should be aware of before choosing this model. First and most importantly you should know this isn't a very high quality kitchen appliance. It's not the worst model we reviewed but it was well below average, so we do have concerns about how long it will last. Secondly is the lack of on-board bag roll storage, which makes it a lot easier to use on a regular basis. Next it does have different food mode settings, they aren't overly confusing, but they aren't as easy to understand as some models. Additionally this is a manual sealing model, which is a lot less convenient than an automatic sealer. Lastly, we compared to similarly priced models, this isn't the best value. We feel the NutriChef PKVS18SL is a much higher quality unit, has more features, has easier to understand controls, and is available at a better price.
