Vacuum packing machine

Good evening. Overpowered the temple! Such a useful thread!
I am faced with a choice: Status SV2000, Caso FastVac500, Solis Vac Premium.
Anyone who has the listed devices, please share your impressions. What is safer and less likely to break down?
The status seems to be advanced and powerful, with one seam, but a removable water bath, here in the topic there were three not positive reviews that broke. Slovenia.
Solis is short-lived like? The price is nicer. China.
Caso Fast Vac500 has no reviews at all. Double seam and found a discounted seat. Built-in bath. Separate button for manual evacuation. Professional. China.

I am vacuuming paired chickens (I am fond of growing colored and hairless French chickens, which are unusually tasty), mushrooms, berries and all sorts of other things from the refrigerator. I would be grateful for comments on the reliability of these devices.

I'll ask two pretty silly questions
1. Are Status packages suitable for Redmond? I read that "all grooved fit each other," but all the same - what if someone had experience?
2. The last time I sealed a bag with chicken in herbs and oil, a micro-fold has formed, and, it seems to me, air somehow passes through it (although I sealed it four times !!!). The bag has been in the refrigerator for the second day and looks too soft (although there was practically no liquid at the time of sealing). Is this suspiciousness, or is there a problem in the vacuum apparatus?

1. Suitable, but see the size of the bag and, accordingly, the maximum size that can be sealed by the model of the evacuator. 2. Liquid may appear, moreover, it must appear if the chicken is raw and pickled with salt. It can also slowly poison the air. It already depends on the soldering and on the packages themselves (there are packages that slowly poison the air).

Thank you, everything is clear!

Suitable, but see package size

I'm just going to take very narrow ones, they will fit exactly.

Then no problem. True, I have the narrowest 12 cm and are used only for dry-cured sausage, but let’s say a doctor’s sausage or another thicker when I’m not doing it very well. I think the smallest size is still better than 15 cm, at least for me.

I have the most popular packages just 15cm wide

Hello everyone! Here I have a funny problem - I bought a packer on Ali, which needs a smooth film. The roll is over. I am looking for a smooth film. I can't find it! Such impression - everywhere only corrugated! I found it on Ali - delivery is more than 400 rubles! I didn't find it on Ozone! Tell me where you can buy a smooth film ?! Thank you!

[Asya]

AsyaThere are sleek packages in Metro.

There are smooth bags in the "World of Packaging"

I bought 20x30 bags (50 pcs.) And a 28x500 roll (2 pcs.) From M-Video. With bonuses written off, it turned out 980 rubles. Such pretty ones.
And in the complete set with the evacuator there was, in addition to 5 bags, another roll. So I decided to cut off the stripes from the roll and seal smooth bags with them. At first I wanted to try the cocktail tubes, but I was afraid to spoil the device.

Caso Fast Vac500 has no reviews at all. Double seam and found a discounted seat. Built-in bath. Separate button for manual evacuation. Professional. China.

I bought it all the same. Cool device. And how did I live without him?
Marinating meat in 6 minutes in marinator mode. Really works, the meat is marinated.

An interesting recipe for meat using a vacuum cleaner:

So I decided to cut off the stripes from the roll and seal smooth bags with them.

Well, how did it happen?))))

Well, how did it come about?)

Happened. I put the strips not along the edge, but in the length (depth) of the package. And I also make a duplicate seam.
I erase all the bags and reuse them until their volume becomes critically small)) In general, we made friends with the vacuum apparatus.

Happened.

Congratulations! It didn't work out for me - the smooth side is not of the composition to stick. ((

It was also sealed on non-woven tissue strips.

And the method of laying vertical folds on smooth bags approached me most of all the tried ones.

[Anna1957]

It was also sealed on non-woven tissue strips.

Yeah, this is the simplest and most reliable. If not for a very long time, then you can even do without cutting and a second seam - it solders well.
Anna1957, yeah, small sometimes I do this when I need to quickly and quickly.) With large and full packages it is not so easy. And the view is not too neat, IMHO.

And the view is not too neat, IMHO.

I agree about the view)). And my bags are the same size - meter.

I have 15x20, 20x30 bags and a roll 28 cm wide.
And I haven't tried it in folds (there was no need), but I remember this option by a tooth (you never know))



Girls, but explain to me, please, where is and how the liquid reservoir in the packer will look like? I know that not everyone has (to my shame I don't know if I have it))) These are his insides.

where is and how will the slurry tank look like in the packer

So here's this wide notch that goes behind the heating tape.

[Shine]

Shine,
Thank you))

It doesn't have a full-fledged reservoir. As such, this function is performed by the central well where you fill the end of the bale. It is clearly visible in the photo. Liquid can get there, which you simply wipe off with a napkin.

Well, I am quite satisfied with this option))

And which ones sell the cheapest ones for sealing (vacuum is not needed, the ones purchased with the device are intact)? I bought bags for freezing, so they are apparently thin - the soldering cuts them off. About "for sandwiches" it is immediately clear that they are not suitable, but I did not expect such meanness from these ...

Well, I just bought 100 pieces (20x30 and 15x20) smooth, thick.
Large 2.90, small 1.45

ANGELINA BLACKmore, and the name or density at least is?

[Anya]

Anya, these are (though they have already risen in price a bit)

And these are:

Girls, I need advice. I want to buy a Gemlux GL-VS-169S vacuum sealer. Tell me what? Does anyone have it? There are not enough reviews in the internet.

More. While everyone was silent, I ordered this one: Kitfort KT-1502 vacuum sealer

[Anyut]

Anyut, this is my CASO's twin brother
I originally aimed at Keith 1502, but, as luck would have it, in none of the stores, including online stores. I wrote to the KitFort office - they said we are waiting for the receipt ... But when it will be unknown. So I took CASO, after reading the forums, where I found out that this is the same model, only different countries sell it - the Kit is from our Russian market, although it is a Chinese device.
I also have Kitfort devices, I like them. Therefore, Kasika took it fearlessly.

[Natasha]

Natasha, I felt the reviews in the internet, like they also praise him. Therefore, I decided to buy. Thank you!

With any purchase - how lucky. But hopes for the best))
While using it with pleasure. I'm especially glad that I can do sous-vide now.

Congratulations, Anya, on a wonderful purchase. I have had the same one for a year. Few people can say about Gemlux. The model is new, functions like the kitfort, but a knife has been added. In principle, gemlux is a good Chinese company, I have a semi-automatic ice cream maker of this company every day for a month and without problems. I plan to buy an automatic ice cream maker from this company, I have already looked after the model.

[Alexander]

Congratulations, Anya, on a wonderful purchase.

Alexander, Thank you!

[Anna]

Anna, and what to write, I have no Gemlux GL-VS-169S And I have a kitfort, but I am happy with a pistol. In general, I have Kitfort products, quite a decent technique, I'm not complaining.

[Alexander]

I have had the same one for a year.

Alexander, so I wanted with all the fibers of my soul to buy this packer, after reading your post where you wrote about it.

Good morning! Owners of Status vacuum containers tell me: you can evacuate air from these containers using a vacuum sealer with such a tube

Or do you need to buy a special Status pump?

Good morning! Owners of Status vacuum containers tell me: you can evacuate air from these containers using a vacuum sealer with such a tube

Didn't you get instructions from the packer? Everything should be written there if the straw was included in the kit.
I pump out with a packer, but I have another one.

Good day! Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong or is my packer defective? I made myself a present for the New Year. I bought a packer Sigmund Stein 505 for Ali. The discount was great and delivery across Russia. Here I sit over him, I fight, but he, bastard, does not vacuum. I made sausage and left the minced meat. I decided to vacuum it. I chose the type Soft and Wet. Made a double edge. I press the start button, and it pulls so weakly, practically does not evacuate, only makes noise. And at the end the Solder button does not light up. (So ​​it is not vacuumized?). This is how all functions work. 0 cuts, seals. I have not checked anything else yet. It’s embarrassing that I put the edge of the bag incorrectly for vacuum. (Not deep). Just cry ...

Tatyana. Confuse your words about the edge of the package and shallow. The bag must be filled completely and into the vacuum chamber. No other way.

[Yutan]

Yutan, You latches on the edges firmly? You have to press hard on them.

Thank you! I didn't close the lid completely - the lid was very tight. As soon as I clicked it, everything was perfectly vacuumized!

[Tatyana]

I didn't close the lid completely - the lid was very tight.

Tatyana, it is very tight if you try to close both latches at the same time. Try to click the locks not at the same time, but with a micro-delay. That is, place your palms on the corners of the lid and press first one until it clicks and then the second until it clicks. So it will be easy and simple to close. I also have Sigmund, so the method was tested personally.

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, Yutan, that is great! Otherwise, everything works well, only the latches are a little tight.

[GALLAACTIC]

GALLAACTIC, Belka13The lid is so tight that I even thought that I had a defective vacuum cleaner. After accidentally clicking it, things worked out for me. Everything that is possible has been vacuumized. I am very pleased. Now I will order packages.

Does anyone have an Oberhof Leere T-15 packer? Now on their website there is a discount of 4990 rubles, as a gift 2 hoses for containers and a stopper for a hose for bottles, well, packages. The packer seems to have all the functions, "wet mode", etc. I don't have a packer yet. I'm just going to buy for now. All materiel studied. But I hear about this brand for the first time. can anyone have already used it?

Along the way, this is a new clone of Caso or Kitforth. I watched the reviews, it seems now they are promoting it, they put it in the first place in the rating. although he practically does not differ from mine, and a year and a half ago, nothing was heard about him at all. For the price: for 3500-4000 I would take it without hesitation. Perhaps everything has risen in price now, but for me the price, taking into account the discount, is too big.

[fresh vegetables / fruits]

Hello!
Please share your experience / tips for vacuum storage fresh vegetables / fruits, in refrigerator and at room temperature... They keep well in the freezer, and in these options no (bags swell, food gets wet, change appearance).
I read the whole branch, I came across information that fresh fruits / vegetables "breathe", and there is no point in vacuumizing them (except for freezing). But maybe there are some exceptions, secrets, tips?
I would like to store vegetables / fruits not only in the freezer, at least for a month.

Owners of the Profi Cook PC-WK 1015 DS packer, please answer my question. After evacuating air from the package, automatic sealing does not take place, and if I try to force sealing, then after pressing the button the air just slightly returns to the package. Is this some kind of mistake or a breakdown of the packer? Maybe someone has already encountered this.
