We summarize certain (of course, not final, but intermediate) results of our numerous tests and continue the series of materials devoted to the choice of various household appliances.

Today we will talk again about household vacuum degassers. Recently we published an article “Household Vacuumator: Why is it needed and how to choose it”, in which we looked at the key features of modern vacuumators and how they affect the ease of use of these devices. Now let's look at specific models that have been tested in our laboratory. We will list the best and most interesting ones, and also briefly recall their characteristics and main differences from competitors.

Before we begin, let us remind you that the choice of a vacuum sealer is primarily influenced by such parameters as the presence of various modes, the width of the thermal tape, additional “chips” and accessories, as well as the overall comfort when using the device. But the pump power and air pumping speed are not of decisive importance when choosing a household vacuum cleaner: they do not have a significant impact on either the speed of operation or the quality of the final result.

Vacuum packer "simple"

What is required from the simplest vacuum sealer? The answer to this question is obvious: properly pump out the air from vacuum bags and seal them. Our laboratory has tested several inexpensive vacuum sealers with a minimal set of functions.

Note that some vacuum sealers even forced the user to hold the lid of the device with his own hands. Of course, we will not recommend such models for purchase.

But simple vacuum sealers with a snap-on lid and one single function can be a good choice in conditions of a limited budget or simply in the case when the buyer is not sure whether he needs such a device in principle and whether it is worth spending a significant amount on it right away.

A striking example of a simple vacuum sealer is . This is a typical “Chinese”, which does not pretend to do anything more than perform a single task - vacuumize the bags and seal them. All control is carried out using three membrane buttons and two LED indicators. The device looks downright cheap, and even the presence of a built-in bag cutter is unlikely to change this impression. Nevertheless, it works, and quite well.

You can still buy this vacuum cleaner.

Another representative of the “simplest”, but at the same time much more stylish looking, is Korean. This vacuumizer is controlled using only two mechanical buttons, one of which starts the automatic mode (evacuating air followed by sealing the bag), and the second allows you to interrupt this process and proceed to sealing at a selected point in time. Unlike the previous model, Gochu looks much nicer thanks to its bright design. The presence of special clips for fixing the package and an automatic lid unlocking system make this device more convenient to use than the previous model.

Vacuum packer "regular"

What kind of vacuum sealer do we imagine if we hear the phrase “regular vacuum sealer”? This will be a device that has several additional functions (compared to the simplest model).

A vacuum cleaner that claims to be a “regular” one must be able to work with different types of products (dry and wet), operate in normal and gentle mode (for vacuuming soft products that are easy to spoil by squeezing too hard). As a rule, such a vacuum sealer also has a manual control, which allows you to pump out exactly as much air as needed and seal the bag manually.

Often, complete with such a vacuumizer you can find a hose that allows you to work with vacuum containers or special plugs. This is an absolute advantage for those who plan to use additional accessories, however, we decided not to separate vacuum cleaners with hoses into a separate category.

The vast majority of vacuum sealers on the market are of this type. The differences between such devices are usually minor and often decorative.

A typical example of a conventional vacuum sealer is . The body of this device is made using stainless steel, which should have a positive effect on both durability and ease of maintenance of the device. The vacuumizer has two seam sealing modes (for dry and wet products) and two pump operating modes.

Pleasant bonuses include a book with recipes and a special compartment for storing a vacuum hose right in the device body.

Successful models can even be found released under different brands. A quick glance is enough to understand that this is the same device. The only differences are in the packaging and the inscriptions on the body.

This vacuumizer, like the previous model, comes with a hose for vacuuming containers. Thus, his set of capabilities turns out to be almost the same as those of our previous hero.

You can find a great variety of similar vacuum sealers, similar to each other. In the course of numerous tests, we must admit that we were unable to identify either clear leaders or obvious outsiders among them. Almost all “regular” models behaved predictably and guaranteed results ranging from “good” to “excellent”.

Vacuum packer “unusual”

The difference between an “unusual” vacuum sealer and a “simple” one lies in the non-standard form factor and/or several additional “tricks”. As far as various operating modes are concerned, such a device, as a rule, is practically no different from a “normal” one. Since the imagination of engineers in this case turns out to be limited, in an “unusual” vacuum degasser we can find one or more of the following ideas:

• vertical rather than horizontal form factor of the case;
• presence of a compartment for storing packaging film and bags;
• presence of a built-in cutter for bags;
• removable tray in the vacuum chamber, simplifying cleaning of the device.

A classic example of an “unusual” vacuum sealer is . This model received a vertical body, a compartment for storing film rolls, a cutter with a ruler, and a removable block with a container for collecting liquid that accidentally got into the vacuum cleaner. Designers have even come up with stickers with eyes and mustaches, allowing you to “revive” a household appliance and give it a little humanity.

We also note the presence of a special “marinating” mode, designed specifically for working with products placed in vacuum containers.

In our opinion, the device turned out to be successful - it incorporated all the best solutions, was made of high-quality materials, and turned out to be attractive and easy to use in everyday use.

The second vacuum cleaner, made in a vertical form factor, which we want to mention, is released under the same brand - Rawmid. The device, called , turned out to be more compact: it received only a small container for collecting moisture. But bags and rolls of film will have to be stored in another place. This device has a standard set of functions - two pump operating modes and two bag sealing modes. The kit includes a hose that allows you to work with vacuum containers and stoppers.

Vacuum packer "professional"

Of course, we are not going to compare household vacuum sealers with professional ones - those used in production. However, even among household appliances there are models that differ noticeably in both their appearance and general mood. You would more likely expect to see such appliances in a restaurant kitchen than in a home environment.

We recently visited our test laboratory with such a device - . This vacuumizer immediately attracted attention with its strict design and the presence of unusual functions: in addition to the automatic lid locking system (the user does not have to manually snap the fasteners), this vacuumizer received an additional mode for repeating the last operation. Thanks to this, the issue of sequential packaging of several identical portions of the product is resolved. Obviously, this mode can only be useful when processing fairly large volumes of raw materials. Another significant advantage is the double seam, which provides additional reliability of the packaging.

Nice bonuses include a marinating mode, a removable plastic tray for collecting liquid, a compartment for storing film, a cutter and a place to store a hose. The unpleasant ones are the rather large dimensions and weight.

Vacuum packer "compact"

If you don’t want to keep a full-fledged vacuumizer at home, and you plan to vacuum it infrequently, you can opt for a compact vacuumizer like . This baby, powered by an additional power supply or regular AA batteries, can help pack special bags with an air valve, or seal a jar using a special vacuum lid. Unfortunately, it will not work with regular packages.

This solution is unlikely to be suitable for those who vacuum a lot and often. But it can help out those who need a vacuum cleaner where there is no access to an electrical outlet - for example, while fishing.

Let us also mention that in nature there are completely mechanical vacuum degassers, which are, in fact, hand pumps, with the help of which air is pumped out of a bag with a valve. In real life, however, we have not encountered such devices, so we will not recommend them as a cheaper alternative to an electric portable vacuum cleaner.

Vacuumizer as part of a food processor

Unfortunately, even despite the growth in popularity, a household vacuum sealer is not so often found in Russian kitchens. And this is despite the fact that in European countries you can find ready-made kitchen solutions on sale, including a whole set of built-in kitchen appliances - a vacuumizer, sous vide, blast freezer, steam oven.

Unfortunately, in our market one built-in vacuum sealer will cost 150-200 thousand rubles (and this does not take into account all other devices!).

But those who want to join the “haute cuisine” can pay attention to free-standing devices that allow you to pack food in vacuum bags and immediately cook it. from Caso is a fairly large unit: a vacuumizer plus a sous vide - a container in which water circulation is maintained at a strictly specified temperature.

Despite the fact that such solutions are quite rare, perhaps for some this option will be the most convenient: after all, keeping one food processor at home instead of two gadgets and a saucepan with a special tight-fitting lid is not the worst idea possible.

In the last few years, vacuum sealers have become very popular and are actively used by housewives in the kitchen. The demand for these devices is quite justified - due to the complete removal of air, the activity of bacteria stops, oxidative processes stop, so the products remain fresh longer, retaining the same taste and aroma. The device will be useful for people who want to avoid freezing fresh food or, conversely, prefer to stock up on homemade semi-finished products. You can’t do without it when preparing dishes using the popular sous vide technology. Storing food in vacuum packaging helps prevent odors from appearing in the refrigerator and mixing them up. We invite everyone who is interested in a useful kitchen appliance to familiarize themselves with the rating of the best vacuum sealers.

Oberhof Leere T-15

Universal vacuum system. Original design. Perfect seam quality
Country: Germany
Average price: 7,200 rub.

When looking for a reliable vacuum cleaner with maximum functionality, you should pay attention to the Oberhof Leere T-15 model. Created by a European enterprise of German origin, where the traditions of family business are still honored, it is very different from its analogues in its quality of assembly. The second important characteristic is the ability to work with both vacuum bags and bottles and containers, and the kit includes all the necessary attachments.

1 REDMOND RVS-M020

Most popular model
A country: Russia (manufactured in China)
Average price: 5270 rub.
Rating (2019): 5.0

One of the most popular vacuum sealers is produced by a Russian company. This is a fairly high-quality and functional device that allows you to avoid rapid oxidation, keep food fresh longer, quickly marinate it or cook it using sous vide technology. Electronic control ensures extreme ease of use, and a capacity of 12 liters per minute allows you to quickly pack food. The device is compact in size and does not take up much space in the kitchen.

There are a lot of reviews about the REDMOND vacuum sealer. Buyers are satisfied with almost everything about this model - compactness, stylish appearance, speed and good quality packaging. The soldering seams are smooth and of high quality, the air is completely removed, ensuring long-term storage. Many people like that it comes with a recipe book. The only regret is that packages for this model are not sold everywhere and are not cheap.

Anyone who is thinking about buying a vacuum sealer for food sooner or later asks the question - which vacuum sealer to choose? To help you answer this question, we have made a comparison of several popular models of vacuum sealers from different manufacturers.

The comparison was made according to a number of basic parameters, and models of approximately the same price category were taken - from 7 to 13 thousand rubles. This is the optimal price category for vacuum sealers for home or small business. Cheaper are devices with narrow functionality (they do not work with liquid products or bags, do not have operating modes, most often these are low-functional manual vacuum sealers), more expensive are industrial vacuum packers intended for use in large factories.

Among the vacuum degassers under consideration, we can distinguish models designed more for domestic use, and models that are positioned as professional– they may be distinguished by the presence of additional modes and functions, higher reliability and wear resistance. They cost in the range from 10 to 13 thousand rubles. Household food packagers are somewhat cheaper - around 7-8 thousand rubles. We also decided to take for comparison an economical model for 4.5 thousand rubles. When comparing, we will take this into account and divide all models of vacuum sealers into these two categories.

As can be seen from the comparative table, the presented vacuum sealers differ from each other mainly in configuration, dimensions and the presence of certain operating modes– for delicate products, for containers and bottles, for pickling.

For a clearer comparison of dimensions, you can look at them from above– so it’s very easy to imagine how much space a vacuum sealer will take up on your desk. Ruler in centimeters.

Note: the Redmond and Kitfort models differ only by 1 cm in length, so for ease of comparison they are indicated by one image for two.

Among all vacuum sealers the most compact are Profi Cook PC-VK 1133, RawMiD Dream Modern and RawMiD Dream Pro. Thanks to their vertical form factor, they take up less desk space compared to horizontal competitors.

As for the accessories that come with the packer, then the widest configuration for Dream Modern and Dream Pro - when you purchase them, you will have at your disposal 5 bags, 1 roll of film and a hose for containers and bottles. The Redmond RVS-M021 model does not come with any bags or film, but it does have 3 vacuum containers. However, these are all consumables that will need to be purchased in any case, but for the initial purchase, the included accessories to some extent justify the higher price.

The Kitfort vacuum cleaner includes a hose for containers, but this manufacturer does not produce containers, so selecting accessories for it is somewhat difficult.

Now let's talk about modes. The most multifunctional vacuum cleaner in our comparison – Dream Pro: it can work with dry and wet products, with bags, containers and bottles, vacuumizes in normal and gentle modes, has a marinating function and a built-in cutter, thanks to which you can easily and evenly cut pieces of the desired size from the film. But the obvious outsider here is the Profi Cook PC-VK 1133, which only works with bags, does not work with containers and bottles, and does not have a gentle vacuum mode, a built-in cutter, or a marinating function. Although this device is called Profi Cook, it will be very problematic to do professional cooking with such a packager. For culinary specialists and for those who want more possibilities from a vacuum sealer, we definitely recommend it for a reasonable price.

By the way, the RawMiD vacuum sealers – Dream Modern and Dream Pro – come with funny stickers to decorate the device.

Among the more budget ones There is no clear leader in terms of functionality for household models - all devices are approximately at an average level. However, Dream Modern and Kitfort have gentle mode air pumping (for fragile and compressible products). The model from Kitfort provides a mode for wet products, but its implementation is not very convenient: the device no drainage container for liquid, and therefore moisture that has entered the vacuum chamber must be wiped off with a napkin each time. But Dream Modern is the only budget vacuumizer that has a drain container for liquid, so the function of working with wet products in it is complete and does not create inconvenience during use.

It stands out from competitors due to its compact size - it will take up much less space on the table. It is also distinguished by a touch control panel, which makes the vacuumizer a stylish decoration for your kitchen. In addition, this device has the nicest equipment: bags, film, a hose for containers and bottles, plus original stickers to decorate the appearance of the device. As a budget model for simple tasks, we recommend it.

We reviewed several popular models of vacuum sealers and compared them according to a number of parameters. We hope that this comparison will help you make the optimal choice of vacuum degasser.

As soon as a person thought of storing food for the future, the question of storing it immediately arose, because the surrounding space is saturated with oxygen, and these are ideal conditions for the growth of various bacteria, due to which food quickly becomes unusable. The method of freezing or cooling food works well, but it does not always give the desired result. The knowledge that bacteria cannot survive without oxygen came to the rescue, therefore they need to be placed in vacuum packaging.

In our article we will tell you which device is better to purchase. Happy reading!

Kinds

According to their design and operating principles, packers are divided into several types:

• Chamber . More expensive, they are used mainly in large food production. The essence of the work is to create a vacuum in the chamber in which the packaging process takes place. There are floor and tabletop models, all of them are made of high quality steel and are designed to last a long time. Some models provide for the injection of neutral gas into the packaging, which increases shelf life.
• Tubeless . Great for everyday use, for example, for preparing vegetables and fruits for the winter. They differ from chamber bags in that they allow you to pack any oversized items, which is why they are very popular in stores and catering establishments. Made from stainless steel or durable plastic. They can even be used in banks for packaging banknotes.
• Manual . They are a pump with low capacity. Thanks to its small size, it is easy to transport. When using them, you will have to hold them in your hands and apply a little effort.

A vacuum sealer is a device that can be used to significantly extend the shelf life of food products. This device is often found in stores that sell perishable products. In a vacuum sealer you can vacuum food- this is its main purpose. Packages with an artificially created vacuum inside can be placed in the refrigerator or freezer, where food will retain its freshness much longer than usual.

The device looks quite simple: most often it is a small device made of standard (usually glossy) plastic. Household devices, as a rule, have standard dimensions of 30 by 15 by 10 cm and weigh no more than a kilogram. Compact dimensions and light weight allow you to easily use the device not only in the store, but also at home.

The vacuum sealer works on a simple principle: after pressing the button to start the procedure, the inside of the bag is sealed, and all the air is pumped out from there.

It is important to rinse the products before starting the procedure, this is necessary for their proper storage in a vacuum state.

In some cases, the vacuum effect is also needed for storing certain household items, to protect them from the destructive effects of the environment (oxidation, degenerative processes, etc.). Using a vacuum sealer is quite simple, and this can be considered one of the main advantages of the device. Operation of the device involves special packages

for vacuum sealer. It is these consumables that help maintain a state close to a vacuum inside. In addition to ease of use, the advantages are long-term storage of products and preservation of their beneficial properties throughout storage (fruits and vegetables retain the entire complex of vitamins in their composition).

Types of devices

The device for vacuum packaging can be tubeless and have a special compartment for vacuuming. The tubeless option costs much less. Food Vacuum Sealer for Home doesn't have a camera

. The air is pumped out immediately from a special bag. But the absence of a camera allows you to pack not only food products, but also other various items. The device can be either manual or semi-automatic. This device is perfect for both food (meat, cheese) and other household items, such as small clothes. But, as a rule, this is where the positive aspects of a home vacuumizer end.

Due to its low power and simplicity of technology, the device simply cannot provide decent rates of pumping oxygen out of the bag: as a rule, we are talking about 89%, versus 99% in the case of professional gadgets.

A powerful household vacuum cleaner is rather an exception to the rule. If high productivity and preservation for a longer period are required, it is best to opt for a professional vacuum sealer.
