[I bought this under my business account, BeechCreek Coffee Roasters, but Amazon, in her infinite wisdom, says I can't write a review because I haven't made enough purchases with a credit or debit card?!? I pay with amazon business credit!! Anyway, I'm writing this review under my personal account, associated with my business account]I've been looking for a good sealer at a good price for some time. This is a great value and does a very good job!I sell coffee and need a sealer for poly/kraft and mylar bags. This thing does the job very well.PROS:* Thermostat gives very good control and seems to be pretty precise. Not sure about the accuracy, since I haven't calibrated it, but for what I do I don't need to.* Great heat capacity that allows you to seal a lot of bags quickly.* Very easy to use. I thought from the pictures that it might be balky and hard to use but it is not at all. I set it on the table (it has builtin "feet") and press about two seconds to seal.CONS:* Listing says it heats up to temp in 1 minute. It takes 2 to 2 1/2 minutes to get to temp for the temperatures I use. For the performance I get, I can live with that!This is a great product and is head and shoulders above the cheap heat element units out there, and has a much better price than many.I highly recommend this product!

Seals heavy Mylar bags easily

Funky looking but it works fine. The knob for some reason is misaligned with the markings but it works as intended. Once you get it dialed in it's consistent and the crimp/seal is vacuum tight. It handles thick bag material infinitely better than my FoodSaver.

This item will literally get hot enough to melt its own wires.....be careful. I walked away and came back to it smoking. Turned it down and it seems to work but who knows for how long. Even though the offset for the temp dial is a little off, it still does throttle nicely. Will work for sealing basically anything you need.

I have been using this to seal foil lined kraft paper coffee bags and it does a fantastic job! It only requires 150 degrees F for about 5 seconds to create a strong seal.My only complaint is that the set screw for the temperature dial was loose, so the dial actually came off before I had a chance to use it for the first time. It was an easy fix with a screwdriver, but I don't know what I would have done if I had lost that screw. I feel like I shouldn't have to tighten screws on a brand new machine. Since fixing that one issue, I have been completely happy with this machine.

But - the heat knob is offset. My first attempt to seal a Mylar bag was a burning success. With trial and error I did find the sweet spot for both Mylar and plastic bags.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Works very well with Mylar.Makes a factory looking, very strong seal.See my video review for details.

It worked as advertised. Love the multiple heat settings available. And the teflon surface makes it useable on everything, even PE although it states it's not for PE use, but on a low setting it works just fine for my needs.Arrived quicker than indicated and was packaged nicely.TG

Very good product for sealing Mylar. Works great. Thanks. J.M.
