NescoVacuum Sealer Bags Reviews
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.
