Weston Pro 1100 Vacuum Sealer Reviews

From a performance and features standpoint the Weston Pro 1100 is far and away the best Vacuum Sealer we reviewed. This model has a full metal housing compared to the polycarbonate plastic found in other models. It has on-board bag storage making it extremely convenient to use. The controls are located on the top of the lid, and are laid out in an easy to read manner, and clearly labeled. It can seal both wet and dry food items, and there's a pulse mode for delicate foods. The most important thing to realize about this model is that it's a Professional Grade Vacuum Sealer the quality, workmanship, and durability of this model is dramatically higher than almost everything else we reviewed.

The downside of looking at a high quality Vacuum Sealer like this one is the price, at $299.99 it was one of the most expensive models we reviewed. A second issue about this model to be aware of is the size, it's 10" x 16" x 18" and weighs more than 10 pounds, so it's going to take up a lot of countertop real estate and not be that easy to move around. The vendor says this is a "automatic sealing" model, true automatic sealing models grab the bag and automatically seal them, this model requires that you put the bag on the sealing bar and press a button, we don't consider that "automatic sealing" at all. We also don't like that an Accessory Hose is an additional purchase. The last thing to be aware of is this model is very noisy, not only was it noisier than average, it was one of the noisiest models we reviewed. If we're being honest, this is a lot more vacuum sealer than most people are going to need, and it's probably outside of what most people had budgeted for a Vacuum Sealer. If you've had other Vacuum Sealers in the past and had problems with quality, look at this model or other Weston Vacuum Sealers. If you're looking for something that's a bit more affordable try the Weston Pro Advantage or the FoodSaver FM5200 both have a much more budget friendly price.
