Nesco Vacuum Sealers

Our reviewers looked at 45 different vacuum sealers including 1 from Nesco. We reviewed each vacuum sealer for features offered, ease of use, quality, and price. We feel that the Nesco Vacuum Sealer is best suited to someone who is only going to use a vacuum sealer occasionally. You can compare this model to one of our top recommendations the NutriChef PKVS18SL which we feel is a much better value for your money. Use our Comparison Table below for more information and links to our full detail reviews. If you are looking to replace a lost set of directions visit our Nesco Instruction Manuals page.

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.
