mine is now two years old and i put thru 10 six metre rolls and a pack of 100 sixty cm bags cut up into smaller bags etc.Hasnt stopped ever and hasnt changed.have done venison,ducks,whole rabbits,goats and other game cuts as well as bulk purchase from the butcher.if and when it dies i may go more expensive but i dont see a need so far.
"reliable, inexpensive"

I have had mine for over 2 years and works great, you must keep your eye out ( about every 6-9 months) for Aldi to have the units on sale and then purchase more spare rolls! Love my food sealer! I use mine for freezing bulk meat and chicken purchases all the time
Works well! I use it for bulk meat and chicken!

Not used that often, but does a great job at keeping food fresh.
No more freezer burn on your meat either. Great quality product at a good price. refill bags are cheap too. This seems to be available on sale at ALDI every year, so keep an eye out for it if your after a good vacuum sealer.

Worked well whilst it worked. Bought in bulk and only used it about every 4 to 6 months and because of that its outside the warranty. Have used it about half a dozen times and the sealers no longer working. It's a shame as its a good compact size but you do get what you pay for.

I was impressed with this item but broke down in first week only did about 10 things. When i checked veges that i had sealed 6 days ago, they had started to go to mush. Was not happy and returned for credit.
May try another brand. Any recommendations.
It was inexpensive,but you get what you pay for . Aldi raised credit ok
Stopped working within 1 week

I will get another replacement, and if I have issues with that one.....I will get a refund and upgrade to the sunbeam model.
Fairly certain the Aldi bags will fit with the sunbeam model, but will have to check first.
Bit of a bummer, as when it was working....it did a good job.
Was cheap compared to the sunbeam. Aldi sold the bag refills for $14.99 separately. 2 rolls in a box, 28cm x 6m.
It lasted for 1 hour, whilst vacuuming and sealing a bulk lot of meat, then the sealer function has stopped working altogether!

It was a lot cheaper than other models, does the same job.
Have never used one before and it was easy to figure out. My only issue is where can I buy some more sealer rolls??
Eay to use - works a treat
Doesn't suck the same amount of air out as a commercial cryovac but it does what I need very well

It was less than half the price of the one at the Home Show, and so far it's working well. Inside a year it will have paid for itself in all the food stuffs I've been able to store, and other food I have bought in bulk, like cheese, which is cheaper. Even if I don't use the vacuum function, I can reseal food in its own bag eg. pasta, rice, rolled oats, chips, spices etc.
I have never used or owned a vacuum food sealer before. Saw them demo'd at Home Show, but they were really expensive. So far the Lumina one is doing the job beautifully. I've got it out on the bench so I use whenever I can, and have so far sealed food items which otherwise would have gone into the fridge and been thrown out a week later eg. avocado, cheese, deli meat.
