NutriChef PKVS20STS
Rating: Rated 3.75 stars - Average Price: $59.99 - CHECK PRICE

The NutriChef PKVS20STS vacuum sealer is value priced vacuum sealer that's best suited for someone who will only need a vacuum sealer for occasional use and isn't going to need all of the features offered by higher priced models. Our reviewers preferred the NutriChef PKVS18SL over this model. It has a lower price, offers more features, and feels a lot more durable.

NutriChef PKVS20STS Review

The NutriChef PKVS20STS vacuum sealer is one of the mid-level value priced Vacuum Sealers we reviewed. It features a compact lightweight design making it easy to store away when you're not using it. It can seal wet and dry foods and has a food mode selector. This model is manually operated by placing the bag across the sealing bar and closing the lid until you hear a slight click letting you know it's locked in place. The controls are located on the top of the unit, are easy to understand and use. You select the food mode if necessary, wet/dry if necessary, and then seal or vacuum. There's not a lot to it, it's very easy to use.

There are some negative aspects to be aware of before you choose this model. The first is there's no on-board bag roll storage, we found this feature to be a big convenience and time saver, it's something found in most FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer models. The next thing to be aware of is this is a manual seal model, the automatic sealing feature is another big time saving convenience. This model comes with an accessory hose for canisters and containers, but there's no way to store the hose or wrap it around a holder, it just sort of dangles off the back of the unit. This model doesn't have a pulse mode, which makes it difficult to seal delicate items. Lastly, this model didn't feel very well made and durable. If you're looking for something in this price range try the NutriChef PKVS18SL it's lower priced, feels a lot more durable an offers some of the missing features.
