NutriChef PKVS18SL Vacuum Sealer Reviews

The NutriChef Vacuum Sealer is the perfect choice for someone who isn't going to do enough vacuum sealing to need model they leave on the counter all of the time, or someone who is shopping on budget and looking for a great value. The thing that makes the NutriChef stand out is how easy it is to use, you just place the bag in, clamp the lid, and press either seal or vacuum & seal. It's a lot simpler to use than some of the other more advanced models. It can seal both wet and dry items but, there is no pulse control for delicate items. It does come with an accessory hose. This model is a lot quieter than the FoodSaver models. Compared to other vacuum sealers under $100 this model had the highest quality and durability, which is why it's one of our favorites.

The biggest downside to this model is there is no built-in storage for a roll of bags. If you're going to be using it often, that's really a feature you're going to want to have. If you aren't going to be using it often then don't count it as a negative. Our second complaint is the accessory hose, it's short, really short, which makes it awkward to use. The last negative aspect is operating this model is a completely manual operation. Once you've worked with models that automatically grab, vacuum, and seal you miss not having that feature. These are minor complaints about convenience features. We think this model is a top choice and should definitely be on the short list of models you're considering.
