Anova Culinary ANVS01-US00 Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer, Black

Like many other reviews here, my experience was that the unit worked well/satisfactorily on the initials uses. But, over (a very short) time, the performance got worse and worse. First it took 2-3 tries to get things to seal, then eventually it would "seal" but then I'd notice the bag re-filling with air (indicating a broken vacuum) after they had supposedly been "sealed" and then finally, the thing just didn't work at all. There was a section of a gasket that had pulled away from one of the main surfaces which looked to have only been attached with elmer's level glue/adhesive -- POOR design!I'm at a loss b/c this is not the first Vacuum Seal type product I've tried (others crapped out over similar or even shorter timeframes) and Anovo is not the only one with this ... MoreLike many other reviews here, my experience was that the unit worked well/satisfactorily on the initials uses.

BUT, as others have pointed out, all the Reviews have said that Anovo was the "best" brand for this kind of product. Where can I get a decent vacuum sealer that I'm not having to replace after a handful of uses?

My husband gave me one of these vacuum sealers for Christmas a year ago. It dint work nearly as well as our old Foodsaver. It was difficult to get the vacuuming started because of the way the bag ends had to be placed in the unit. Many times I had to start, reposition, then try again. The bags often leaked after a few weeks of storage. I called Anova and explained the problem. I was told to submit the original receipt, which I didn’t have. But my husband had bought the unit directly from them, I gave them all of the details, but the stopped responding to my many calls and emails. It has been months. Such rudeness is inexcusable! I am very happy with my new Foodsaver. It is far superior to the Anova. Btw, I have Anova sous vide and precision oven, which is why my ... MoreMy husband gave me one of these vacuum sealers for Christmas a year ago. It dint work nearly as well as our old Foodsaver.

i ordered the Vacuum sealer on 26th june with the vac bags. however upon receive the package, there is only the vac bag in the box and the vacuum sealer was not it it! once i check the package details it was clearly stated the package was sent at 1.9kg which means only the vac bag were packed and sent to me. until today (25July2023) i still haven't receive the vacuum sealer from anova although there was plenty of time i tried to contact them and the CS promised to sent it out with 48hrs which was a week ago. i as very disappointed on how you guys trying to resolve the issue as if it was my fault. Until today i can't do anything since i got the precision cooker and vac bags but yeah no vacuum sealer. it might sounds silly but i have paid everything and i just need my ... Morei ordered the Vacuum sealer on 26th june with the vac bags. however upon receive the package, there is only the vac bag in the box and the vacuum sealer was not it it! once i check the package details it was clearly stated the package was sent at 1.9kg which means only the vac bag were packed and sent to me. until today (25July2023) i still haven't receive the vacuum sealer from anova although there was plenty of time i tried to contact them and the CS promised to sent it out with 48hrs which was a week ago. i as very disappointed on how you guys trying to resolve the issue as if it was my fault.
