Great Buy!
This has been a total game changer for myself. It's small, fits in the drawer. Definitely beats pulling out a big bulky sealer especially when you have barely any counter space.
The best part is the bags are Reusable!!! No extra money to spend on a regular basis.
Considering getting a couple of the containers as well.
Happy Sealing 😊 waste less, save more!

I was originally hesitant to buy the product because it was a bit pricey, especially with the glassware… But I finally caved and got it and I am beyond pleased with this product! I love it so much and it takes me half the time to pack up meat and munch‘s with this product compared to tabletop sealers that I’ve used in the past. I even had a problem with one of the glass containers and I messaged them and it was within no time they followed up and since have replaced that item promptly! Everyone there through customer service has been amazing to deal with!

This is a first rate company
This is a first rate company. Excellent customer service.
They replaced our vacuum sealer which had failed. I emailed them and Christine responded within an hour, and this was on Saturday afternoon. She sent us a replacement unit that arrived the following week.
We highly recommend Chef Preserve both for their products and for their desire to stand behind what they sell. A rare find in this day and age.

Chef Preserve sealer was a flop.
I purchased Chef Preserve for its space-saving benefits since my countertop machine was big and bulky. I even placed an order for additional bags of every size since I buy in bulk and was going to break them down into meal sizes and freeze. I was disappointed to discover that I couldn’t seal anything that has any kind of potential juices what so ever. I tried to seal chicken breasts and the juices came through the vacuum. I dried it all very well with paper towel, but when I used the sealer again, it drew more juice out of the chicken and I had the same results. I worry about the juices that got sucked up and the potential for bacteria. The only way to seal meats is by freezing it beforehand, then sealing it before it starts to thaw. I tried it on vegetables and had the same problem with juicy veggies like cucumber or fruits like pineapples and others. The only items that seal well without problems was anything dry like uncooked beans and rice, or cereal. Anything cooked does not work well if it has any type of juices. I’ll have to get my counter top sealer back out to be able to seal my foods. Very disappointed. I contacted them and got no resolve.

We're sorry to hear that Chef Preserve wasn't what you expected.
What you've described is actually one of the differences between a handheld vacuum sealer and a traditional countertop heat-seal machine. Because the vacuum removes air through the valve, liquids can also be pulled toward the valve if the vacuum runs too long.
To help prevent this, we recommend stopping the vacuum manually before liquid reaches the valve area. The bags include fill lines to indicate where food should stay below, and many customers have great success using a small piece of paper towel inside the bag to absorb excess moisture or pre-freezing foods before vacuum sealing.
For foods like chicken, fruits, vegetables, soups, and other moist items, our glass vacuum containers are also a great option since there's no risk of liquid being drawn through a valve.
We also wanted to mention that we respond to all customer emails and genuinely try to help resolve every issue. We requested your information here but didn't receive a response. If you're willing, please reach out to [email protected] and mention your Trustpilot review so we can locate your account and assist further.

Chef Preserve is worth it's weight in gold
Chef Preserve is honestly one of the best investments I've made. This handy little device has saved me so much money in produce.. I don't throw away food like I used to. I highly recommend this easy and handy device. I even use it to seal up my dipping chocolate because it keeps it fresh for long term use.

I had to replace my Chef Preserve unit…
I had to replace my Chef Preserve unit after about 18 months of daily use - I love it! It appears the battery died. I sent an email to the customer service folks at CP and received a quick, polite and customer service friendly response from Kaitlyn. And within a week, my replacement unit arrived. Great customer service for a wonderful product! Thank you CP and Kaitlyn!
Response from ChefpreserveJun 2, 2026

Buy it, try it, you'll love it. Experience date is approximate. Afraid to exit review to confirm purchase date, don't want to lose what I wrote.
My husband and I have been using this product now at
least over a month or two. It really is very easy to use and it comes with little white tab type things that you use to seal the bag before you use the vacuum sealer. If you're having trouble vacuum sealing the bag it is because you didn't use the white sealer correctly so there's a little air coming out of the top. Just use the white sealer again, and you should be all set. I love that I don't even need to hold it to use it. If what you are sealing up is on a flat surface which it should be, you turn it on, it'll vacuum seal the bag and shut off automatically. The size of the vacuum sealer itself takes up almost no space at all and will last 500 to 1,000 uses before you need to charge it with your USB charger included. Haven't had to charge it yet. We came up with quite the setup for storing the bags and drying the bags once we wash them. If we can attach pictures I will attach them to show you what we have purchased and what we are using to make this whole system works smoothly. Only thing I would caution, is not to buy a supply of the large bags until you see the sizes of the small and the medium when you get them. I think I jumped the gun by ordering the large with my initial order because I really only needed three or four of them so far, we really only need it for food storage. It comes with I believe 30. We did order additional small size bags because we were going through them and needing more. They are washable and reusable. They are thick and made well so I expect we will get lots of use of them before needing to replace some of them. Only time will tell. We are very pleased with this purchase and have already recommended it to friends and family.
