| VACUUM SEALER | OPERATION | RATING | AVG. PRICE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nesco VS-02 Review | Manual Operation | $70.51 |
The Nesco Vacuum Sealer was on the low end of all the models we reviewed, we really only recommend it for someone that will be using a vacuum sealer very infrequently or is shopping for a Budget Priced Vacuum Sealer. If you are replacing a broken vacuum sealer, we think you should avoid this model, as the quality here was definitely below average. We recommend the NutriChef PKVS18SL instead.

Nesco Vs-02 Vacuum Sealer
The Nesco VS-02 is a budget priced model that should really only be purchased by people who are going to use it very infrequently. We have a hard time looking past the low quality construction and materials and feel the NutriChef PKVS18SL is much better choice for a very similar price.
