The NutriChef PKVS30STS Vacuum Sealer is a model we wanted to like but ended up being disappointed by, it only accommodates smaller sized bag rolls, and the overall quality wasn't as high as other models. We recommend the NutriChef PKVS18SL instead.
PROS
- On board bag roll storage.
- Easy to read and use control panel.
- Seals wet/dry foods.
- Comes with an accessory hose.
CONS
- Can only accomodate small bag rolls.
- Manual bag sealing process.
- Doesn't feel very durable.
This item is out of stock or is having supply chain problems making the price much higher than normal. We don't recommend purchasing this model right now.

NutriChef PKVS30STS Review
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, there is no pulse control for delicate items, but there is an accessory hose. This model is a lot quieter than the FoodSaver models.
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.
