GERYON Vacuum Sealer, Vacuum Sealer Machine for Food Storage with Sealer Bags & Roll, Automatic Food Sealer for Sous Vide, Compact Design, LED Lights, Easy to Clean, Dry & Moist Modes (Silver)

I chose the GERYON Vacuum SealerE2900-MS/M. This is the first vacuum sealer I have purchased. I did some investigating online for the best budget vacuum sealer option and this product was mentioned in several articles and got pretty good revies. Compared to the FoodSaver and Anova brands, the cost was very reasonable. It is small and light-weight so easy to store. I have only used it once, but it performed well and was super user-friendly.

This is a great vacuum sealer and well worth the reasonable price here. It comes with an initial supply of bags and a roll of plastic that you can trim to size. I mostly use it to vacuum-seal mason jars (other accessories are required for this). I haven't owned any others and can't compare to them, but it works well and is nice and quiet.I did have an issue with a plastic ring inside the accessory port breaking a while after purchase. The customer support test team was super prompt and sent a replacement unit which arrived within a couple of days.

Overall, five stars — it’s not perfect but it’s real good and does the job — especially for the price!!!Pros: Great price ! First vacuum sealer I’ve ever had. Easy and intuitive to use, doesn’t require proprietary special bags (so far just about any vacuum sealer bags I’ve bought have worked), lightweight and small (see pic for comparison to a box of aluminum foil). I just stash it on a shelf and grab it when I need it — love that it is not taking up valuable real estate on the kitchen counter. I’ve used it a lot and it’s fussy and uncomplicated— at least the bag sealer part. Has an accessory port for canisters, etc and comes with tubing, and a plastic connector for the port (and a spare). I found a $12 generic mason jar sealing kit on Amazon and now I can use that port to vacuum seal mason jars — great for dry storage and meal prep (especially salads in the fridge — getting that air out makes the vegetables last longer, and I can make 4 or 5 at a time and then just grab a jar and go).The cons: the accessory port is kind of funky and fussy to connect to. Be gentle - the very first time I did it, the plastic connector broke off inside the vacuum sealer. And of course that happened just outside the Amazon return window. I had to disassemble the sealer to extract the broken piece, which was no small feat. And now I am down to one connector — and as far as I can see, there is nowhere to buy a replacement. Not sold on the Geryon website that I can find; I contacted them and am waiting to hear from them about whether I can buy a spare. I also haven’t found a universal or generic version online either; my mason jar kit came with three different types of connectors (meant for different kinds of sealers) and was described in at least one review as being more or less "universal" because of this -- but none of their connectors actually fit this Geryon sealer. Since removing the broken piece, the accessory port does again work now with the one connector piece I have left and I’m just doing my best to be very gentle and also not to lose that connector, since I don't have a backup.Overall tho -- still recommend -- love this sealer tho and I use it often. I think it's a great bargain and nice to have to prepare for the apocalypse or whatever.

This Geryon vacuum sealer shipped super quickly and has given me no issues so far. The product itself looks a little bit cheap, consistent with its low price point. I got the black unit and the plastic was a little bit discolored, like it had been wiped down with an abrasive cleaner before leaving the factory. That doesn't bother me though, as I will be using it and then putting it away for storage. The instructions were user friendly and pretty helpful, although the product itself is fairly intuitive anyway. The starter bags it comes with are enough to freeze a little bit of meat or to dip your toes into vacuum sealing. I agree with some of the other reviewers who recommend picking up some more bags or rolls right from the start, because you'll go through the ones that come with the sealer pretty quickly. Every seal I've attempted has worked great without any issues so far. I think for the price it would be difficult to find a better unit.

Works great! Seals everything perfectly. I love how lightweight it is. It’s not to big so it’s easy to store.

My husband & I love it! We buy in bulk & instead of putting it in baggies to get freezer burn we can now have things last a lot longer. It's simple to use and it doesn't take long to do each bag. Seals nicely. It's compact & light weight. I keep it stored in it's original box in my pantry for easy access. So far we've done mostly meats but I have done red cabbage because we don't use it soon enough making shrimp tacos. The cabbage now lasts a lot longer.

I haven’t had this machine long but it’s done the job alright. It had NO instructions included and I spent so much time trying to figure it out. You have to fully shut the machine until in locks on the sides before it will work at all. It’s not a press down machine. Silly to not understand it but I’ve never owned a vacuum sealer so I don’t know what to expect. I noticed the last time I used it that the left side wants to come out of the housing area and I’m not sure why. This is kept in a drawer so it’s not been dropped. I’ll keep an eye on it for now. Overall, it’s alright. It does seal and it doesn’t take too long to start sucking out the air but that means you have no time to change the settings either. It likes to switch to canister or dry or some other random setting and I’ve had too many times it will start the process or seal before I can change it ruining a bag. If you can afford the more expensive brand, do it. I needed a budget friendly one and this one serves that purpose but it’s not the best.
