Loved the one I bought from the store several years ago I had a Reynold's HandiVac for *years* that worked great and was sad when Reynolds decided to discontinue the product. I figured out that you can get replacement bags from Debbie Meyer so I was all set for a while. Then unfortunately my Vac got contaminated with chicken juice and I didn't think it was safe to use anymore. So I was thrilled to see that they were still being sold on Amazon. However after two tries from two different vendors I am not going to order this product again because both came with corroded batteries and didn't work. My suspicion is that what they are selling are really old units that were not stored properly leading to the corrosion. I guess I'm going to be looking for a new vaccuum sealing system. RIP Reynold's HandiVac.
WORK GREAT!!! I received this as a Christmas gift at least 34 years ago and never used it. So I just took it out today to try it on all these leftovers. It worked perfect! No problemeven with the existing batteries. There was a tab that I just pulledI guess so the batteries would work.after all these years.The only thing I am sorry about is that I didn't try this earlier.
Handivac works well This does work well. Not had any problems with sealing don't over fill. I wash and reuse the bags tho it takes 34 days to dry properly.
One Amazing Little Machine I use this HandiVac with the Debbie Myers bags. Unlike some users I just changed the batteries after more than a year. OK. They probably could have been changed earlier when I started getting iffy results but it didn't occur to me immediately that the batteries were the issue. I like this system better than the Food Saver bags because they can be resealed after removing some of the contents. I have been buying large packs of meat at the wholesale club and divvying them up to freeze. I have been MORE than happy with the long term storage. No ice crystals or freezer burn. I love it.
Genius Vac This is the best food sealer on the market at the best price. Wish they would make it available to more people.
I love this product. This product s great!!! I have had a problem finding the bags but I purchased some Ziploc bags and they work just as well. Very economical.
awesome Awesome the best invention. I had a manual one but it wore me out.
Terrible Unfortunately I have to join the chorus of disappointed customers who have a terrible experience with this. In a word this is a piece of junk. Rather than repeating what all other 1start reviewers have wrote I would only state for the record that I've had identical experiences. Don't buy this it's garbage.
A must for any kitchen This is my second Handivac I broke the 1st one accidentally after about 8 years of ownership. Even though I also own a big sealameal this item is so handy for smaller portions as I can remove part and then easily reseal. I find it perfect for onions where I have used only onehalf or so. I seal it use some more and then reseal.
does not work for long When its new it works fine. But the trouble is it doesn't last very long. We used ours for a couple weeks and were happy with it. Then it just stopped working. Changed the batteries several times but no luck. Wrote to the company and they said 30day guarantee and that's it. It's a cheap product.
