VOTOER FKR-200 8" Hand Held Crimp Heat Sealer Bag Crimp Heat Sealer Sealing Machine Tool Aluminum Foil Kraft (8 Inch Sealing Length)

This sealer arrived shortly after ordered. I use it to seal1 & 2 oz Kraft "chocolate/energy bar" bags. It works perfectly, heats up fast and appears to keep temp after sealing 30 bags continuously. My only issue is that the temp control knob appears to be a little wobbly. I ordered this model because my product takes up most of the bag. There isn't much bag left to seal and this machine will seal right up to the edge of my product.

We purchased this because of Howard W.'s review, in which he states that he is using it for the gold retort canning bags (distinct from Mylar) for food storage. Our JVR chamber vacuum sealer - while an excellent machine overall - is seriously marginal for sealing retort bags, as the built-in seal heating time (even with the custom 'retort bar') cannot be set long enough for a truly reliable seal.. Why JVR could not build an extra second or two of seal time into the machine software is just beyond me. Unfortunately Howard's review did not state tested times or temperature for the retort bags - * 150 DEGREES FOR 4 SECONDS * creates - once cool - a seal that you literally cannot get apart with pliers (and I've tried); the bag rips to shreds before the seal ever lets go. Note that full warm-up time on the machine is critical - I like the feature where the green 'heating' light goes out and the red 'ready' light stays on once temp is reached. As another reviewer commented, put a cutting board underneath - even with the little stand-off legs, this machine is HOT. We use the 80 micron weight retort bags because the 100-weight was even worse in our JVR, but will likely go up to the 100 microns now (not that you can really tell any difference visually) as I'm certain this sealer will work just as well on them. We're very excited to have this machine because failing seals during pressure canning processing was our number one issue with retort canning. Like others have found, the knob hardly feels like precision German engineering - the Chinese still have a ways to go. But the machine works just fantastic for our purposes and we're definitely going to expand the range of foods which we retort can, now that we can get 100% reliable long-term seals..

This is not consistent, and does not work, it doesn't hold temperature, it works for a few bags to seal and is other to hot or too cold. I DO NOT Recommend this company. Spend the money and buy from a reputable company!

Buena herramienta en su calidad pero calienta lo suficiente y se apaga , tardo en graduarla manualmente , me detiene el trabajo y es desesperante

Does not work, we did not try it till after the 30 day return due to issues beyond our control when we did it was just complete crap Tried to reach out to the company, no response. DO NOT BUY THIS! If htey had of helped us we would have been happy to try to problem solve.
