Nesco Deluxe Vacuum Sealer VS-12P review

The Nesco VS-12P gives you more control than any other suction sealer on this list at a similar price. You choose one of three seal settings, Dry, Moist or Double, then a vacuum pressure of Normal or Gentle, and a pulse vacuum function lets you stop suction by hand for pastries, buns or cut produce. Nesco rates the 130-watt double pump at 25.1 InHG, and an optional double heat seal adds strength for moist foods. The built-in bag cutter and roll storage compartment have a clear window, and the sealer takes bags up to 11.8 inches wide. Two rolls come in the box, and Nesco says the VS-12P works with any brand of vacuum sealer bags, which helps on running costs. The product page lists no warranty term and no handheld sealer or accessory hose. At $149.99 it sits $5.01 under the Anova Pro. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run sealing tests.
