Unless you need the small countertop footprint, we recommend avoiding this model because it's not a good value and low quality. Look at the NutriChef PKVS18SL or the COSORI Vacuum Sealer instead.
PROS
- Small Countertop Footprint.
- Budget priced.
- Easy to read and use control panel.
- Seals wet/dry foods.
CONS
- Doesn't feel very durable.
- Can only accomodate small bag rolls.
- Not a good value for your money.
Monoprice Strata Review
We have a hard time recommending this model as being the right choice for anyone. The quality leaves a lot to be desired. It can only accommodate small bag rolls, and it's priced higher than models with more features. It's only positive is that it has a vertical design, so it takes up less room on your countertop. We strongly suggest you skip this model and look at the NutriChef PKVS18SL instead.
Monoprice Strata Features
- Comes with starter kit which includes: (1) 8" x 79" Vacuum Roll, (5) 8" x 11" Vacuum Bags.
- Vertical design takes up less space on your counter.
- Quiet compared to other models.
- Has marinate mode enabling you to seal both wet and dry foods.
- Has settings for different food modes.
- Has pulse mode allowing you to seal soft or delicate foods.
- Has built in storage for food bag roll.
- Has manual bag sealing giving you more control.
- Has accessory hose allowing you more flexibility with sealing other types of food storage containers.
