I bought a chef preserve vacuum sealer last year and use it all the time - it keeps my food much fresher and reduces food waste a lot. Also lets me fit a lot more in my freezer! I love how it can just fit in a drawer without taking up a bunch of room, so I can pull it out whenever I want to use it. When I first had the sealer, I had some questions and customer service answered them right away. Recently, when I ran into a bit of trouble with my well-loved vacuum sealer, customer service responded immediately and are fixing the problem. To me, that is a sign of a quality company.

And we’re glad our customer service team could be there both when you had questions and when your well-loved sealer needed some attention. Thanks for sharing such a thoughtful review! 🙌

I had purchased the Chef Preserve set
I had purchased the Chef Preserve set, including the glass containers set of 3 plus the variety sizes of the dishwasher resealable bags & was so pleased with them I bought another set for family members who live in the Cayman Islands. These items are well made, work as advertised & well worth the fair price I paid. I use the glass containers daily! Resealing after opening to use some of what is contained, then resealing. I’ve used the bags for fresh strawberries, freezing a bit as directed, to avoid pulling the sweetened juice up into the Chef Preerve unit itself. I like the glass set so much I ordered another set of the 3 sizes. Easy to wash in the dishwasher, better than plastic containers that can stain from foods. Even the resealable bags are dishwasher safe (I put them on the top rack). Thank you Chef Preserve for creating excellent products!! Well done!

What a wonderful review! It’s especially great to hear that the glass containers have become part of your daily routine and that you’re enjoying how easy they are to clean and reseal. And using the bags for strawberries with a little pre-freezing is a great tip! We truly appreciate you choosing Chef Preserve for your family as well and sharing your experience ❤️

Really works to better preserve for longer
It was easy to order and the product works easily right out of the box. The bags and containers really help to preserve foods for longer. Fresh food and cooked meals.

That’s great to hear! It’s wonderful that you’re getting easy, everyday use out of both the bags and containers for fresh foods and cooked meals. Thanks for sharing your experience and for choosing Chef Preserve!

Not what I expected
I purchased this product about 7 months ago, and wasn't using it much. I used the bags to freeze perogies, sausage rolls, and a few other small frozen foods. Firstly it's not easy to ziploc close the bags, even with the gadget they offer. I got all the air out, put each of these products in the freezer; and by the next day the air was back in the bags. I tried again...still they don't stay air free. So, I tried fresh fruit....cherries and grapes in the fridge. With the price of fruit, I was learie to try, but I did. The fruit came out almost fermented. Felt like I was eating wine! I won't be using this produc again. Unless maybe to freeze a cake, which I tried, and that turned out alright.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry the results weren’t what you expected, but we’d like to clarify a few things that may help.
When food is vacuum sealed, the air is removed from around the food, but the food itself continues to naturally release gases and moisture. Frozen foods can also release gases as they freeze, and changes in temperature can cause the bag to expand again.
It’s also very important to make sure the bag is completely sealed along the entire zipper before vacuuming. The white sealing clip is designed to help close the zipper securely. Run the clip firmly across the entire zip, making sure there are no gaps, and then vacuum the bag. If the zipper isn’t fully closed, air can gradually enter the bag.
Fresh fruits such as cherries and grapes can be particularly sensitive to vacuum sealing. They continue to ripen and naturally release gases, and removing much of the oxygen can change their normal respiration process. This can sometimes result in a softer texture or a fermented/wine-like taste. The sealer itself isn't causing the fermentation; it’s the way the fruit continues to naturally develop in a low-oxygen environment.
For delicate fruits, we recommend using our glass containers instead. For longer-term storage, freezing is also a great option. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate you sharing your experience.

quick and easy
saw the vacum sealer on facebook ads and because i had a old clunky one i decided to try theirs so compact fits in my cutlery drawer the bags come in sm, med, large they will fit into a drawer as well use them for everything and decided to purchase the containers absolutely love them I went back into the site and ordered one for my sister in law im sure she will like it to so easy to use has a little thingy that you close the bag with then you put the sealer against the circle part and within five secs ten at the most your container or bag has all the air taken out of it only thing is you need to watch out that you dont get liquid in the sealer but is definately worth the money i will be ordering stuff from them again

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review! It sounds like Chef Preserve has completely replaced your old bulky sealer, and we love hearing how much you’re enjoying the compact design, reusable bags, and glass containers.
We’re especially glad you liked it enough to order one for your sister-in-law! And you’re absolutely right about being careful with liquids—stopping the vacuum before liquid reaches the valve helps keep the sealer protected.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to having you back!

I love the Chefpreserve sealer and all…
I love the Chefpreserve sealer and all of the bags that I purchased from Chefpreserve. They absolutely keep my food fresh for a long period of time. Once I discovered the glass containers, I fell in love again and I want to order more of those. Avocados stay fresh in both the bags and glass containers if you don't use it all at one time. The customer service department was very helpful when I had a question and returned with the answer right away. As a retired Home Economist, I highly recommend this company and all of these products!

We’re also glad our customer service team could quickly answer your question. Thank you for your trust and for recommending Chef Preserve!

I’m in love with this vacuum sealer
I’m in love with this vacuum sealer. It’s so easy to seal what you have and put it back up in way less time than my older machine. It’s way easier to clean!! It’s hard to explain just exactly how much better the Chefpreserve is compared to other brands. The bags are a little expensive but they are reusable and dishwasher safe. It’s a win win!!
Response from ChefpreserveAug 24, 2026
Thank you for sharing this! We love hearing that Chef Preserve has made food storage and cleanup so much easier compared to your previous machine. And yes, being able to wash and reuse the bags makes a big difference!
We truly appreciate you giving Chef Preserve a try and sharing your experience 😊

We are very happy with our Chefpreserve…
We are very happy with our Chefpreserve sealer and the bags used to seal food in. The bags are a nice heavy ziplock style bag which is great in comparison to our previous vacuum sealer bags which required creating a seal on both ends of the bag and was time consuming. It is so much faster to process food in with the Chefpreserve bags, which can be easily resealed. The small light weight Chefpreserve sealer is hand-held and easily fits is kitchen a drawer andcan be quickly pulled out for fast, easy jobs of any size and cleanup is just as quick and easy. We like Chefpreserve bags and have used enough that we needed to order more bags, we use the size small, and were looking for larger quantities, we just ordered a package of 100 bags in small and medium as it was the most cost effective option. In the future, we would like to be able to purchase the small size only at the same price point in large quantities, however they were sold out. All in all, we are very happy with the Chefpreserve sealer and bags as well as the speed of use, cleanup the storage space required.

Thank you for such a detailed review! We love hearing that the reusable bags and compact sealer have made food prep and storage faster and easier for you.
We also appreciate the feedback about offering larger quantities of the small bags separately. We’ll certainly keep that in mind as we plan future options.
Thanks for being a Chef Preserve customer and for sharing your experience!
