PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
 Amazon Basics Vacuum Seal System, Black 

 FROM THE MANUFACTURER 
 Amazon Basics

TechGearLab

The Amazon Basics Vacuum Sealer is inexpensive, easy to use, effective, and lightweight at just 3.1 pounds. Our testing revealed that the suction and sealing process is gentle on delicate food. This feature is partly due to how easy it is to "pulse" the motor on and off during the final air purge, allowing one to get the package sealed just right. We also really like that both the package roll and cutter are incorporated into the unit, so you'll never be looking around for other tools and materials. Moreover, the built-in auxiliary pump allows users the flexibility to suck the air out of standard resealable bags as well. 
While there is a lot to like about the Amazon Basics Vacuum Sealer, it is not without faults. For example, the vacuum pump can only produce a vacuum pressure of 14.5 in. HG, which is significantly below the average of our tested models. The unit is on the slower side when it comes to sucking/sealing time and also lacks a removable cleaning tray that, in competitive models, makes clean-up much more manageable. That said, this sealer has a broad suction zone, and it can seal 30 bags in a row before requiring a cooldown period. As such, we feel confident that this unit will more than satisfy the needs of all but the most demanding users.

 That right you decide how much how big you want your bag to be. So we're gonna seal these two lotus leaf rice things. So we're gonna put it here to kind of get a feel so you don't want it too close to the edge. so you want it about three inches away from the edge and then you want to three inches away from the edge here too

 So now you would just put your food inside. Okay, and you're going to scoot this part back. Okay, so here's kind of the challenging part. You want to make sure that the bag goes in to the this is a vacuum chamber

This is the Amazon Basics food sealer? Is it basic?/\s/We'll find out, so let's open it. So Lets open it up and see what's inside. The great thing about Amazon Basics is that they have really simple packaging. It's really uncomplicated, not a whole lot of waste

 the switch slides back and forth pretty easily. So basic, but comprehensive it is. It is complete. Now that we've got our food sealer out of the box, let's take a look and see how it works

Amazon Basics Vacuum Food Sealer

 But it doesn't do the primary job this machine is for - it has no suction power. I stood in front of this machine like a fool for 20 minutes trying all sorts of ways to get it to completely vacuum a bag. Every time I see a part of the bag shift due I got excited.

 Not a user error. This machine simply has no suction power. I returned the product, which is something I rarely do even with products I am not completely happy with.  UPDATED a day after the above:  I returned it, and bought a Food Saver model from a local Costco

 I tried to help it by squeezing parts where entire corners are filled with air - that helps a tiny amount. But the machine simply is unable to create a vacuum.  This is not the first machine I've used. I know how they work

 The machine doesn't have a sensor to detect when the lid is properly latched, before it turns on the vacuum functionality. So I just assumed. Wrong assumption. Since I returned the unit, I can't no longer find out whether it does have adequate suction power

No suction power

Press down HARD until you hear a "click" before sealing!

 Getting the suction to work and give a good seal took a good bit of practice. The manual is very basic.  We couldn't get all the remnants of the plastic bag off the heating element and would like to return it or get a new heating ribbon if it is something a homeowner can replace.

 Just when we thought we had it, the bags got stuck on the heating element. Maybe we didn't let it cool enough but we feel it should have not have done this. Getting the suction to work and give a good seal took a good bit of practice. The manual is very basic

Bags get stuck on heater...

It is basic

tricky to use

Should’ve spent more for better, but works

Hard to click in place

I always buy Amazon Basics products when they're available, but this one misses the mark. The suction power is good and is able to vacuum seal when it wants to. The major issue is it doesn't always close all the way, so it never creates a vacuum. The second reason I bought a new one is the bag seal/cut design is backwards and makes using the bag roll more complicated and time consuming

I REALLY wanted to like this, but spend the extra money for a name brand

 Plus, you get the bag cutter, which works well, and the roll storage, and all in a fairly compact size. Admittedly, I wasn't confident when I decided to purchase this machine, but figured I'd just return it if it didn't work well, but so far so good. One thing, and I'm not sure this is any different than with any other sealer, it will not suction regular zip lock type bags, you need bags made for a sealer. No big deal though, if you're going to buy zippered bags anyway, might as well just buy the ones made for vacuum sealing
