Title: Really easy to use!
Review: I have gone through so many vacuum sealers that I lost count. About 10 years ago I bought a commercial chamber vacuum sealer because I make a lot of stock. It worked really great but it was HUGE and heavy. It couldn't fit on my counter and I ended giving it away.Fast forward to today and within an hour I was able to vacuum seal about 8 quarts of homemade chicken stock. The bags vacuumed and sealed with ease and the bags are now laying flat in the freezer.The directions are short, simple and to the point. It isn't ridiculously heavy and as you can see by the picture it will fit perfectly on the counter which means I will use it more than the last one.This costs a bit more than the more widely known name brand but to me it is worth the extra bucks because of the versatility and build.I highly recommend it

Title: The PERFECT chamber sealer!
Review: TL;DR Version (see detailed below for comparison with the larger USV32)- The USV20 chamber sealer is perfect in almost every way. It is made of top quality material, has more suction than you will ever use and is the IDEAL sealer for just about every home enthusiast. If you cook sous vide, or just buy/cook in bulk and freeze leftovers and want a high quality, affordable chamber sealer you won't find anything better than this!Detailed review and comparison:I am a vacuum sealer enthusiast who has owned a ton of different brands of sealers (Ive worn out more food saver models than you could believe). Eventually I got sick of buying a new sealer every 12 months when mine wore out and found Avid Armor. I purchased an A100 model (like a commercial grade food saver type sealer) to use for sous vide cooking and freezing smoked meat like chicken, brisket and jerky when I cooked in bulk. This sealer was amazing, I bought one for my Dad and my Brother... it was that good. When they released their first chamber sealer (USV32 Ultra) it was an instant buy for me. I do a ton of hunting and fishing, and sealing wet marinades and meat like fish has always been the downside to traditional vacuum sealers. They do a good job, but are always limited in how well they can suck out air, without sucking liquid out with it. I instantly bought a USV32, and I'm not kidding when I say it completely changed the way I bought, cooked and stored food. Chamber bags are dirt cheap in comparison to traditional sealer bags (less than half the cost), so you can seal whatever size portion you want, without blowing 25 cents on every bag. This isnt a huge deal when you cook 1 or 2 portions, but when you make 100lbs of chicken at a time the cost of a chamber sealer pays for itself. Aside from bag cost, chamber sealers offer a much wider range of foods that can be sealed. Anything a traditional sealer can do, a chamber sealer can do and then some. Where chamber sealers REALLY shine is with liquids, and wet foods. The chamber sealer removes air from the chamber, not the bag so no liquid is sucked out when the air is removed. This means you can marinade meat, vacuum seal soups or any other liquid (infused cocktails, marinades, soups/stocks etc) without any issue; something that can't be done effectively on a regular sealer. The only downside to the USV32 is its very large/heavy. I store it in my pantry and move it in and out every time I want to use it. This is great when I need to seal a roast or whole chicken, but for 99% of my cooking its overkill.This brings us to the new USV20. It's the slightly smaller brother of the USV32. Same motor/suction in a smaller easy to manage form factor! Ive run a few dozen bags through the new USV20, and its every bit as good as the larger chamber sealer, with a couple of awesome improvements. Its lighter, smaller and most importantly for me fits on the counter UNDER the cabinets with the lid completely open. With the larger sealer I always set it on my island, because the lid opened high enough it wouldn't open under the cabinets in my kitchen. This little guy looks good and will likely live on my counter for convenience.Advantages of the USV20:-Smaller size is ideal for counter top use-Chamber size will fit almost everything the average person will seal on a daily basis.-Takes less time to suction and seal due to the smaller chamber (Large chicken breast took 20 sec, vs 45-50 in larger USV32)-Ability to connect external canisters- Much lighter to move around- Soft close lid (USV32 does not have this)Bottom line- Chamber sealers offer you versatility in sealing liquids and wet foods, and save you a ton of money on bags. The USV 20 is the end all be all chamber sealer for 99% of people. If you are the type that likes to sous vide large items like whole prime ribs, roasts, or whole chickens then the larger USV32 is the one to go with. If you seal smaller individual or family size portions the USV20 will save you time and counter space. Both products are a 10/10 for quality, aesthetics and customer support; it really just comes down to which size fits you best.

Title: Great vacuum sealer! Worth the investment!
Review: I’m very pleased with my Avid Armor USV20 chamber vacuum sealer. The build quality seems very good and so far it’s performed perfectly. It’s a substantial upgrade from the FoodSaver Professional II sealer that I used for about 10 years. Although the FoodSaver sealer lasted a long time, I was never perfectly happy with it.Most of my review here will be a comparison between the FoodSaver-style vacuum sealer and the Avid Armor chamber vacuum sealer.1. Bags. FoodSaver-style vacuum sealers require special bags with channels in the film that allow air and moisture to escape as you seal the bag. These channeled bags are a lot more expensive than vacuum bags without channels. For quart-sized, 8”x10” bags (as of 5/30/24):• $24.99 for 44 FoodSaver channeled bags (56.8¢/bag)• $24.00 for 250 Avid Armor chamber-style 3-mil bags (9.6¢/bag)• $29.00 for 250 Avid Armor chamber-style 4-mil bags (11.6¢/bag)I find the 4-mil AA bags to be substantially sturdier than the FS bags. With the FS bags, I’d lose the vacuum seal in the freezer on about 10% of my bags; with the AA bags, I have yet to lose the seal on any bag.Because I do a lot of vacuum sealing, it’s much less costly in the long run to purchase the more expensive Avid Armor chamber sealer at $350 (using much less expensive, but sturdier bags) than the FoodSaver sealers at $100-$250 (with the very expensive bags).2. Food type. Most of the time, I vacuum seal food that has a lot of moisture in it. With the FoodSaver sealer, I had to seal each bag about 3 times because the liquid flowing through the channels would interfere with the sealing process. You can eventually get a good seal, but it takes effort. With the Avid Armor sealer, I only have to seal once.3. Clean up. The Avid Armor sealer is much easier to clean up. Because no liquid is sucked out of the bag into the chamber, I don’t have to mop up after I’m done sealing a batch of food. With the FoodSaver, I had to clean a substantial amount of food liquid out of vacuum chamber after I finished.4. Parts. My FoodSaver Professional II lasted a long time, but when it finally failed, it was the heat seal bar that broke. FoodSaver does not make any replacement heat seal bars, and I couldn’t find any after-market parts. At that point, I had to replace the whole unit. One of the really nice features of the Avid Armor chamber sealer is that the heat seal bar is a $19, user-replaceable part sold on their website.5. Settings. On the AA USV20, both the vacuum time and heat seal time are easily adjustable, with a wide range of possible settings. A lot of vacuum sealers have only one or two settings, not really allowing you any adjustments based on the kind of food you’re sealing.Buy the Avid Armor USV20. It’s worth the investment.

Review: I used to own regular vacuum sealers like the foodsaver devices which would ten to suck up moisture and liquids. With the USV20 I can even easily seal broths or spaghetti meat sauceOnly con is that the chamber might be a bit small for bigger piece of meats like a whole chicken

Review: I just vacuum seal 10 bags of jerky, and it worked flawlessly.I can not testify to the longevity of this but will write another review if I encounter a problem. It seems to be very well made, so I'm not anticipating any problems!I like the fact it has a glass top and not plastic like most.I had a food saver before this and was not happy. It was very noisy compared to this, not to mention the price of the bags was very expensive compared to the chamber sealer bags. All and all I think this is a good bang for the buck, if you do a lot of vacuum bagging the price of the bags along will pay for the machine in time!

Review: It works great! Very easy to use. And it seals small mason jars inside the chamber (you just have to lie standard size jars on its side if they’re too tall). I was questioning the cost, cuz it felt like a lot of money to pay upfront. And it is… however I no longer need to deal with frostbite, or getting lightheaded using a straw.There was a bit of a learning curve on what setting to use, so my first couple of tries didn't vacuum enough. The only thing I don’t like is that the buttons sometimes don’t respond, so I just turn the machine off for a few seconds.On a side note: the instantaneous puh-shhhh at the very end never gets old. hahaha.TIP: I buy freezer bags from the dollar store, cut the bottom off and then vacuum and reseal from the bottom. I save a ton on bags that way.If you do a lot of meal prep/storage, this machine is definitely worth the investment!

Review: This is an amazing product that lives up to expectations. It is well built and performs as advertised. My initial test was vacuum sealing around 100 pounds of fresh fish and meat. It performed amazing with only one or two failed seals due to user error. Pretty quiet for a vacuum sealer. Very fast at doing its job. This thing is a beast. Best vaccum sealer i ever used. You will not be disappointed.
