ZWILLINGFresh & Save Vacuum Sealer Machine Starter Set with Airtight Food Storage Container Glass, Sous Vide Bags, Meal Prep

This is an excellent product and works better than expected. It's well designed, very easy to use, good quality and does exactly what I had hoped it would do. Have used it with a variety of the different bag sizes for freezing a variety of food items-worked great on everything! No freezer burn, ice crystals or food that's taste changed from the freezing. One tip: follow instructions and do quick-freeze on soft items such as bread, cookies BEFORE sealing the bag! I thought I'd be quick enough to stop pulling the air, but did squish a few items - much easier when you pre-freeze them. Also used the glass containers for leftovers, dried goods, etc. They are extremely high quality glass and absolutely seal out the air, though they are heavy. I hand wash the bags, sometimes soak with baking soda and water if there's any food odor on them and dry thoroughly before storing away. The glass containers, I've put in the dishwasher top rack, but carefully hand-wash the covers due to the rubber gaskets. This sealer and accessories works far better than any other sealer I've used and the idea that you're able to re-use the bags is a huge plus! As the old saying goes, "This is the best thing since sliced bread!" Highly recommend this for all those folks that, like me, have tried everything, but find other products bulky, wasteful and not really always quick and easy to use....

Delivery was fast. Beautiful item fast shipping. Bought for daughter in law but they were moving .Loved the items included . Quality was awesome. Will try to order one for myself now. So sent it back but only received part of payment. Would like my full refund only received 32.00 I was charged 85. Called 20 times trying like crazy to get my money. proof now from their receipt. I even told rep to send it back . Great product . But beware of errors that happened to not just me but no action from Amazon.

Absolutely love the ZWILLING vacuum sealer and containers! They’ve made a huge difference in keeping my snacks, fruits, and veggies fresh for much longer. The sealer is compact and easy to use, and the containers are sturdy, stackable, and perfect for everyday use. I also appreciate that the sealer is rechargeable—super convenient. It’s helped me reduce food waste and stay organized. Definitely worth it if you’re looking to level up your food storage game!

We aren’t often on the cutting edge of new kitchen techniques, and I suppose vacuum packing has been around far too long for me to claim front-of-the-line status for that, but for us these Zwilling glass vacuum containers and their nifty little pump for extracting air qualify as a breakthrough!There’s clear evidence that the vacuum packing does preserve foods longer, and since we’ve been in the process of weeding out all plastic leftover containers -regardless of supposed absence of BPAs and their many relatives - in favor of glass, that provided another nudge to try these.The cylindrical rechargeable pump (I’ll likely review it separately) is easy to handle and use and makes these containers just the thing. The pump lasts a long time on a charge via an included charging cord, and it’s scarcely moments before the air is sucked out and away.I believe (but am not certain) that the lovely sea-blue trim color oddly called “La Mer” on these German-made glass containers is a newer one? The others I’ve seen online have gray trim. Beyond color, the La Mer incarnation has one-piece lids where I think the gray lids are in two layers. A modest convenience, too.I’m sure I’m not the first to lament the high price of these containers, but shifting from toxic and impermanent plastic to glass that should last us for good, helps to cushion the pain upfront. And the availability of the vacuumfeature in conjunction with them is a real perk.Since at least so far as I saw (and without an exhaustive investigation), the sizes for the La Mer offerings are limited and mostly rather large, so I hope to try some smaller sized gray lidded ones, too, which I believe use the same vacuum pump. And that may also be a bit less pricey.It’s helpful that the Zwilling glass containers are marked on the site with their dimensions in inches. That’s a lot more than I can say for the Pyrex “Simple Store” non-vacuum glass containers with lids. I searched every nook and crevice of the Amazon listing for them and utterly failed to find any descriptor that wasn’t in volume measurement: e.g. the number of cups capacity. I confess I’m not much of a cook, but to me the phrase “6 cups” is meaningless as a way of understanding size in 3-dimensions.At least Zwilling isn’t so pompous about it and gives three dimensions as H x W x L. I’m sure I’m just being picky to want them to call length by that term, rather than by “Height” when it is no such thing. But if I think again about cupsful, I quickly embrace inches by any name.If you can accept the price tag for these, I think having good safe glass instead of plastic of any stripe is worth a good bit. And while I wouldn’t ever plan to use these as our only glass refrigerator containers because of that cost, I do think the vacuum feature made so easily usable is a real plus. Many vacuum packing devices are paired with plastic containers; even worse, often with plastic bags and other collapsible shapes.Even if I didn’t loathe plastic in contact with any food, I would be delighted to avoid cleaning plastic bags (yuck!) in favor of washing solid structured containers.

We used this to keep vegs fresh longer. And this worked great! It was a lot quieter than I expected!Only downside I can think of is the lid of the container wasn't easy to clean. It seems like we cannot disassemble it completely to clean. Also, if you have something around the top of the container or lid seal, it will leak. Make sure to clean top portion of the container all time.Included plastic bag was thin and not sure how many times I can reuse it. You may want to skip this, and get other set which doesn't include the plastic one.
