Here is a suggestion. Instead of the hollow sheet metal spacer in the chamber, get some of the dollar store plastic cutting boards and stack them up to reduce the air volume the vac pump has to pull each cycle. You could also use some wood or other material that did not have a lot of air pockets. This would save time as the vac would pull down faster with the reduced air volume. Thanks for the great review.
Thanks, that would speed things up. I have some 1 inch sheets of food grade UHMW polyethylene that would work. Trying to show what other's will experience if they buy one so I probably won't use them in videos. It has been a great machine so far. Thanks for watching.
I purchased this sealer after watching your videos and several others. You mentioned the oil vapor smell; When I received my unit, the smell was awful and it was immediate from the very first use, we had to move it out of the kitchen, this was after single or multiple bags. The oil it shipped with was rancid. I contacted vevor about it and they said that was normal. It was truly awful. I changed out that oil with a good synthetic ISO 100 vacuum (pump/compressor) oil and the odor is now completely gone. I used TRIAX Kompressor MV ISO 100 which is available on amazon, but I bought it direct from triax as it was a little cheaper and a gallon should last many years. 2+ months going and no smell, working great.
I switched to TSI synthetic non misting oil that seems to have solved the problem with mine. I think it comes with mineral oil. I told them to look into providing better oil but seems the oil it comes with is just break in oil. I am going to do an update once I am sure it solves the misting. Thanks for watching.
Ours still works great with no problems. Better non misting vacoom oil will eliminate most of the oil smell when doing a bunch of bags. We love it. Thanks for watching.
Glad the coupon helped some. Price increases have been crazy lately. We love ours and I recommend you change out to a better non misting vacuum oil at first change. Thanks for watching.
On the oil smell, pop the back off and see if you have accumulation around the exhaust of the pump or surfaces around it. I use a pump like this for degassing silicones and urethanes. When I bought my pump, I used the oil furnished with it. With that stuff, as it approached full vacuum (-25 and lower), the pump would spew a mist of the oil. Totally normal. I was at full vacuum a while on these projects, so it was constant. These sealing machines spend very little time in that zone before they seal and release it seems. Anyway, when it came time to change the oil, I found some “non-misting” vacuum pump oil and, true to its name, nothing came out of the exhaust when at or near full vacuum. I would imagine they ship these with the cheapest stuff they can find, not a premium oil.
Thanks for that info. I will try changing the oil. I think it came with cheap mineral oil. Works great but after it gets hot there definitely is an oil mist smell. No smell in the chamber though. thanks for watching.
Thanks for the update! I've been on the fence about getting a vacuum sealer for a while, and I finally pulled the trigger on the same Vevor model today. Looking forward to putting it to use!
We did a trip to Costco today and vacuum packed another batch of items for the freezer with it. Sofar no problems at all with it ans it really makes meats stay better in the freezer. Hope you like yours. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Wow I just checked. $393 is quick a hike. I ordered mine 2 weeks ago right after seeing your video and it was $377, but they had coupons so it ended up being $355. So far the wife loves it.
Thanks for the updates ESPECIALLY with VEVOR items.. They can seem too cheap to be good quality but the few items I have bought there have been great quality... AND if you haven't noticed,, they bounce their prices up and down constantly and sometimes have the exact same item listed more than once with different prices.. Don't hesitate to throw that chicken on the BBQ and feed yourself....
I was worried about how it would last with the low price and promised several viewers an update after using it for a while. stilll going great after over 200 bags. These leg quarters makes great soup and my wife has spoiled the dog with chicken every morning since her sister passed. I have breast quarters in the freezer for grilling. I heard chicken farmers are worried about bird flu and butchering as fast as they can pushing the price down temporarily. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 That is interesting about the chicken farmers. I noticed that it was approx half price and I also bought a bunch and plugged the little freezer back in to store all of it.. Now if we can create a pig-flu scare and get the price of bacon back down I'd be happy(er)... Thanks for the videos,, you always seem to have interesting content..
Agree 100%. Just picked up a 66# vevor anvil after seeing so many positive reviews and was amazed not only how many types of products they sell, but positively reviewed they are. Was a little suspicious about fake reviews but these TH-cam videos from people in the US are just confirming they are supplying great products
Mine all seem perfect. Are you at a higher altitude? Every 100 ft above sea-level affects the vacuum performance on all of them I have been told. Remember internal air bubbles in what you are sealing will affect what the package looks like. Thanks for watching.
IGA its a midsized chain store in our area that has been around for many years. They run great specials to attract customers from larger chain storeslike Wegmans. Thanks for watching.
When you mention "non misting oil", what did you use or what would you recommend? Thanks again for this video and I have started to watch and enjoy your other videos as well.
This is the one I am trying that has eliminated the slight oder from a big batch of bags in a row amzn.to/44Bwdn2 . Seems to have solved the issue but not 100% sure it's approved for the machines. I am hoping by now Vevor is supplying better break in oil. Thanks for watching.
Great video, I've got this exact model, likewise mine is running great. I have had an issue recently where oil is being pulled into the chamber, I notice you're just pulling your vacuum until it reaches minimum on the gauge, I've been pulling it a good bit lower, so I wonder if that's the cause? More experimenting to do, but otherwise very happy.
Have you switched to non misting vacuum oil? The oil that comes with it is probably just cheap mineral oil that mists and after several bags there's some oder coming from the machine. Thanks
No we haven't but they shouldn't be a problem. You have to be sure things like that are cool before sealing or they will boil over from the vacuum. Works great with water and juices. They are like ice packs for a cooler and then snip the bag open to drink when defrosted. Thanks for watching.
Hello. I am looking at the deep unit (DZ-400/2E). In the Q&A the Vevor rep said it cannot do mason jars. I am sure they don't know what they are talking about and did live chat to confirm. They are standing by that advice. I thought all chamber units can do mason jars if they will fit. Can you confirm that you have done mason jars on this smaller unit? They sell so many things at Vevor, I think they might not be that informed about what they are selling. Thank you.
Thanks for the video it helped me to purchase a vevor vacuum sealer. Do you know if there’s a way to lessen the strength of the vacuum? I’m trying to vacc seal bread related products and it tends to squish them pretty good 😞
Bread is full of air, remove the air and it squishes. You could try freezing it first and setting the vacuum time to 5 or 10 seconds. The shorter time the pump runs, the less vacuum in the chamber. Thanks for watching.
Hi there! Just got This machine and love it. Thanks so much for your review. The smell of the oil is horrible. It smells like an industrial machine shop when I’m using it. Have you tried replacing it and if so, what did you find? Thanks!
I just bought non misting oil to try. Seems the odor is comming from the cheap oil that it comes with misting through the vent. Cant find info on the weight so not sure if its the right viscosity. This is the oil I bought amzn.to/449pxw6 but want to run a bunch of bags to see if it truly works and doesn't damage anything. Thanks for watching.
I have a question and would greatly appreciate it if you could give me some advice. I recently bought a vevor vaccum machine a few months ago and I after 4-5 times of using it. The machine stopped working. The vacuum and sealing process would happen fine but after the sealing time has finished. The air will not be released from the chamber. I cannot open the door. It the light be stuck on the "cooling" mode. I'm not really sure when wrong with it.
It would be best to contact Vevor as it is still under warranty. It sounds like something failed and they should be able to help you. You could try pulling the plug out opening the back and checking that all the wiring connections are screwed tight and all the connectors are properly seated, especially on the controller. We have done close. to 300 bags on ours with zero problems. Good luck. Thanks for watching.
@Vixx=st6oq PLEASE - give us the results of your efforts - it has been 7 months now - and we are about to purchase a machine. IF we have a "situation" we would like to know where to turn - thank you
I have never tried them and 7 mill sounds like you would have to increase the time and possibly damage the bag. I really don't think they would seal properly with this wider band but am just guessing. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video! Just 2 questions: What voltage is it, 300w, 180w? And, can you use any sort of bags or do they need to be from this specific brand or the other etc. thanks :)
It's 120 volts. pump is 180 watts and seal strip 310 watts from what I understand. I have been using Avid Armor bags from amazon. Any brand rated for a chamber sealer should work. Just have to work out the seal time for the thickness. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 thanks! I just don't know if go for the 180w or the 300w... the 300 is more expensive but im a bit concerned that the 180 is not that powerful, great video :)
Someone said you couldn't do a whole chicken in this model. But it looks like plenty of room if you take out the tray. Can you confirm this?? Thanks for the videos. PS: I had one of the $1000 ones in the cart ready to buy, but decided to do a little more research and after finding out their model was made in China as well as all the rest of them I decided I was just paying for the name brand mostly.
You can't fit a Costco rotisserie sized chicken in mine. I think they are 4 to 5 pounds. Vevor makes a bigger freestanding one that probably work. VacMaster makes some deeper ones for big items but the bigger the chamber the longer it takes to pump down. You may be able to bust the rib cage and flatten a chicken down. Thanks for watching.
No idea, don't use them. If it's heat sealable would just be a time adjustment. Seems like most just use an oxygen absorber and seal without vacuum. Thanks for watching.
So apparently there is a warning about the vapors being harmful if inhaled. My concern is the vapor in the bags and foods? The vapor is very strong especially beneath the heating element in the green bag bolted down there? Very concerning not knowing what that bag is even for and the strong oder that comes from it?? Anyone know what the bag under the heating element is for?
Mine has some oder from the back of the machine after a bunch of bags that appears to be from the heat generated by the motor vaporizing some of the oil and passing it through the pump vent that catches any residue. Zero smell in the chamber and no green bag you speak of. There was a plastic spare parts bag that had to be removed before using though. If you have smell in the chamber contact Vevor. We love ours and no problems yet after a bunch of bags. Thanks for watching.
That's a lot of chicken... Good buy tho does the food taste all right with that sealer I still use the food saver... Keep it up brother we wish u and ur honey a happy new year....
Seems to stay better then with the foodsaver. No frost at all in the bags. We go through a lot of chicken and stock up when we find a good sale. Happy New Year. Thanks for watching.
i just got mine today.. i have to put everything to 45 seconds just to get a solid vacuum.. is that normal to anyone out there?? It goes to the green vacuum gauge in 30 seconds but does a worse job than my old vacuum sealer.. I tested out a bunch of numbers and once i got to 45 sec. it gets all the air out finally.
we use 20 to 30 seconds for veggies and a little longerfor items like burger that contains trapprd in air. This blows away our foodsaver. Check that the seal surfaces are clean and vacuum oil is at the proper level. Conract Vevor if you think there is a problem with yours. We love ours and not one problem withclose to 500 bags now. Thanks for watching.
Just got it and my experience with salmon or soft meat is not good. Even at 50 seconds it does a lousy job getting the air out. It works well on hard items. I’m very disappointed because I bought it for salmon and other fish.
We don't freeze fish so I have no idea. I though fresh fish had to be pre frozen for a couple hours before vacuum packing to kill surface bacteria. Quilted bags may help if there is air trapped. Only thing I have heard of about chamber sealers in general is if you're above 1000 ft above sea level there is a conversion factor required for accurately determining the vacuum level. Check with Vevor and see what they say. We love ours and not one bad bag yet. Thanks for watching.
I don't like that girl in the advertisement that guy wants a big screen TV and the girl keeps overriding him saying 42 like she knows it all. Am I alone.?
Cross-contamination here we come. No gloves, no dedicated cutting board. Husband touching the chicken while handling the bag. Makes me want to get the Pepto.

Chamber sealer bags are way cheaper than food saver style. Especially if you buy in bulk. I paid 0.09 each for 8x10.
Cross-contamination here we come. No gloves, no dedicated cutting board. Husband touching the chicken while handling the bag. Makes me want to get the Pepto.
We made it almost 70 years without gloves. Like my dad used to say. If it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger. Thanks for watching.
I have the same motto! These young whippersnappers just don't understand how life really works!
Happy New Year!
Happy new year! Thanks for watching.
