Product Description
The VacMaster Pro 130 combines commercial quality with ease of use, making it perfect for everyday kitchen use. The Pro 130 keeps food fresh up to five times longer and is great for portion control and table-ready dishes. By combining advanced technology with superb design, we have created the ultimate in vacuum packaging systems. Our digital control panel allows you to choose automatic or manual settings or to instantly seal any bag, eliminating partial seals and wasted bags. The extra-long seal bar raises and lowers during the vacuum process so the bag is heated only during that time.

I first saw this machine at a restaurant show in Chicago and was very impressed with the features, the overall quality look and feel and especially, the performance. We vacuum packed various products at the show and I couldn't believe how quickly a vacuum was created and how tight the vacuum/seal was around the product.
Once I got my machine, I immediately went to work on vacuuming some deer steaks and sausage I had in the freezer from last fall. Those steaks were just wrapped in butcher paper so I wanted to make sure they would last longer than they normally would in the paper. I vacuumed about 25 individual steaks and on each one, the PRO 130 performed as expected...GREAT! It only took about 12 seconds to completely vacuum and seal each pouch. I really like the floating seal bar because when you position the bag to be packed, the bag isn't touching the seal bar causing it to melt. Since I vacuumed the steaks, I have used it for many other food products and am extremely satisfied with the performance!!
I would highly recommend this machine to anyone who is wanting something that has more power and features than those cheaper models out there.

I got this after looking over others and thought the "commertial quality" with dual piston vac pump was to be a good plus.
However, after five sealings in two days when doing a "seal now", the timer counted down and the heat just kept going...it started smoking rather quickly. I had to pull the plug to stop it and by now the heating strip was on fire.
It took me 2 days of venting my house and a strong scented candle to get rid of the nasty stench from this thing burning up. Fortunately I pulled the plug before any further damage occured.
I sent this thing back and don't plan on risking another. I've now ordered an older model of FoodSaver that has many, many 5 star reviews.
UPDATE: Even though I had sent this one back for a refund(it was a Sam'sClub Purchase), they had sent me another one as replacement. Believe it or not, this one too burned and on only the second use. Both times I was using the "auto" function. This time I was vacuuming a canister where last time I was doing a vac & seal. I physically took it back to the SamsClub store and got my money back. The FoodSaver 2440 has been working fine...I really like it.

I purchased the precursor to this 3 years ago and am on machine number 3 from ARY Inc. The first machine never worked. They sent me a refurbished machine to replace the brand new one, which I did not know until that one had to be replaced. The second had a "wiring problem" that made it impossible to adjust the sealing time. At that point, I requested a brand new machine or a refund of MSRP. ARY Inc. refused to do that and instead sent me another refurbished machine which will only vaccuum and seal if you hold the top down while the machine is running. If I spend my own money AGAIN to ship this one back to them all I have to look forward to is another refurbished model. ARY Inc. is not worth doing business with.

Love It!
This machine was worth the money! I LOVE IT. All of my food is perfect even after a freeze. The one draw back is that I have to hold the lid down to make a good seal. Read more
