FRESKO New-Generation Fully Automatic Vacuum Sealer, Automatic Sensing Bag, Auto Dry/Moist Detection, Advanced Hands-Free Vacuum Machine

I love this! It’s easy to use! My only grip is that it doesn’t like the biodegradable compostable bags I purchased separately when used on the “Moist” setting. The longer the seal I need lengthwise for these bags, the more of a problem I have with them. I believe that this is due to the fact that those bags are a bit thinner and less stiff than regular plastic ones and when I need a longer seal, the bags tend to get a little warped on the inside of the machine. There’s a 50/50 chance of wiping the interior seal gasket off and/or simply flipping the bag around and trying again and again gets it to work finally, but not always. With these bags, I have to plan to seal them on the shorter side or just end up using a dry seal or doing a moist seal and then quickly canceling the process and then pressing the seal button just to get it to work, but I wouldn’t push my luck trying to do a moist seal this way with something that completely full of liquids being not sure if that would ruin the machine or not. I’m not sure why the two different seal options don’t work equally with this bag, but they just do. I didn’t come across a single issue with the dry setting at all after I learned how to use this machine, which was quick and easy to do! With the bags the machine came with, I did not have this same problem as the biodegradable bags. However, I didn’t by this machine with the intentions of using it with regular plastic seal bags polluting the planet with more plastic so it’s a minor inconvenience of working around this problem (making sure the vacuum sealing of the bags is on the shorter side or cutting the bags smaller) for trying to do better for the environment. So it DOES work with these bags (Vesta Eco pouch bags) but it just doesn’t care to work as well for the bigger seal only on the Moist setting, but this is more so probably a bag issue than an issue with the machine.I also DO love the smooth internal buttons with a simple hidden touch screen, but after wiping this off a few times, I can see that it does scratch easily even when using a gentle touch. I keep mine in the box to keep it in new condition because...well...kids! Lol!!...but I’m still curious how long the top will stay in new condition with only a few gentle wipes can put light scratches on it. Also the silver is not a stainless steel, it’s a grey plastic in case anyone is wondering. My kitchen is stainless steel and black, which is why I chose this color, but had I known it was just a hard grey plastic, I would have just when with all black, but that’s just my personal opinion on that one. Looks and feels nice and sturdy so it feels like it will still last a long time.

The performance of the vacuum sealer is excellent. However, after several months it quit sealing the bags. After an email to the manufacturer, Fresko, I received a quick response with a couple of suggestions. I tried all of them to no avail and responded to customer service. I was expecting a run-around which seems to be quite common nowadays, but I got a response back almost immediately thanking me for trying the suggestions and saying that the unit was obviously faulty. They said that I did not have to return it but that they would send me a replacement. The exact replacement was not available, so they sent me an upgraded unit.All in all, I was pleasantly surprised by the expeditious customer service. The manufacturer stood by their product and made it right when there was a problem. That kind of service is rare of late.

I really like the quality and the suction of this unit. If I had to say 1 thing bad about it i really don't like that it doesn't have a built in cutter. Most of them do, but this one does not. I would recommend as long as a built in cutter is not a deal breaker. Love the price.

I was skeptical when I ordered this, but after it arrived I was happy. It vacuums very well especially for the price point. Small, so it takes up little counter space and could fit in a large drawer, quiet compared to many bigger more expensive ones, looks nice so it can be left out on the counter, seals very well and relatively quickly, easy to use as I haven't even pulled the manual out of the box. Only time will tell, but as of now it seems to be a great functional nice pc of equipment. This is the first sealer I've bought and was worried it wouldn't do the job, but the wife wouldn't like a big bulky commercial one on the counter either, but I decided worst case it was junk and I'd return it, which as of now won't be happening.

This vacuum sealer worked flawlessly. It is very easy to use, basically turn it on and feed the bag. It's easy to store. MY Food Saver is big clunky and more complicated to use. I'll be using this vacuum sealer instead of my Food Saver. I'm very happy with the FRESCO V8PRO. And it's classy looking.The instructions also have some good tips. I would recommend it to anyone.

I purchased this vacuum sealer end of July received the item and right off the bat it looks great m and blends well in our kitchen.The first Machine I ordered the Seal Button would not work no matter how many times you press it it just wouldn’t work. And I get it defects are a thing so I didn’t complain and just went ahead and ordered a replacement.Upon receiving the replacement everything worked great until the sealing strip stopped sealing in a certain spot. To get the bag to fully seal I would have to move it just slightly to the left or right after the first seal is complete and run the seal again. Pretty disappointed because now it’s just getting annoying. If 2/2 machines are defected then I’m just going to go ahead and return it and try a different brand. I was really hoping this worked out well but it’s not of high quality. What if I request another use it a few times and it’s working great until I need to use it again later down the line and realize the machine isn’t working again but it’s way past the return date. Again it’s unfortunate but I rather spend $200 and get a reliable machine like The really big name brand you can find at any major store. I’ve had the same machine I purchased from Costco in 2012 and it JUST stopped Working. Now that’s a reliable Machine!I forgot to mention when this Machine Seals It’s SUPER LOUD! Why? Who knows but My FoodSaver is Dead Silent when it seals

Par contre, trés bruyant
