Review of NESCO Vacuum Sealer VS-12 with blueberries

Reviewing the Nesco vacuum sealer model VS-12 deluxe. I will be using fresh picked blueberries to demonstrate the sealer.

I am not getting paid by NESCO to review this product. I am showing how it works, what I like about it & how to use when freezing fresh picked blueberries.

I purchased this item off of Amazon. I do not have a paid link.
This is however, the Amazon link to this vacuum sealer: https://www.amazon.com/VS-12-Deluxe-S...

Rating by my 4 out of 5 stars. There is a bit of a learning curve with this machine. You will see in the video that I first followed the instructions for fruit, but after a few attempts off camera, I figured out how to get the bag to seal all the way across.

Positives: bag size- can get a variety of widths.
Straight forward operation
Easy to store
Reasonable price for value of the machine.
Bags last in the freezer
Offers a gentle setting for fresh fruit and other soft items that would get crushed under normal vacuum sealing

Negatives:
Learning curve for sealing products
Instruction booklet give general advice- have to test each time you seal a different item(fruit, veggies, meat, marinated items,etc)
Bags to replace original set included in kit are a bit different( texture) - could not find replacement bags from nesco.

All in all, for our homestead, we recommend this vacuum sealer based on what we are using to freeze for this winter. Items include: fruit, carrots, potatoes, corn, squashes & sweet potatoes.

As stated in video: We have not tried on meat nor marinades. Can not speak to those items for this vacuum sealer. I do like the option of being able to get meat in bulk & bag it for the winter though!

As always, Thanks for watching!
