CV12 Chamber Vacuum Sealer for Liquid or Juicy Food, 30cm Seal Bar | Professional Commercial Sealer Machine for Fresh Meats, Soups, Sauces and Marinades, Compact Design, SmartVac Function

I had a cheap "Vacuum Sealer" and had used it for quite a while but it was just not what I needed. I saw this on YouTube (Guga) and knew it was something I wanted to get at some point, sadly I got made redundant recently and had the money to be able to purchase this so it was on the list of first 10 purchases because of being able to seal food in a bag and freeze it. I was surprised when it turned up because I wasn't expecting it to be so big, but I should have expected it, then the next surprise was the weight of it, it's heavy and feels really well built. Once it arrived I set it up and went to Costco and a butchers near me, I put some Pork Chops in a bag and used it, the air removal was perfect, the double seal was great and makes me feel confident in no air getting in. I then because I wanted to try some "Liquids" decided I would try some Baked Beans before anything else and it sealed them perfectly in the bag with no loss of "Bean Juice", my next thing to try will be some Chicken or Beef with a Liquid Marinade but I have no worries as long as I don't put to much liquid in the bag. There is only 1 thing at the moment I think might be an issue and that is the likes of Pork/Beef Joints because I don't think there will be enough room/capacity to hold the joints and vacuum seal them, but I might be able to find some bags that will work with the "Bottle" adaptor. For me the value in this machine is great, it won't need to be replaced unlike the cheaper ones, it will if something goes wrong I believe get replaced under warranty, overall I am very happy with it. If you need a Vacuum Sealer and you want something well built, feels like it's going to last, does a very good job and well looks great as well, then this is the machine for you.

Absolutely love my Wevac CV12 Chamber Vacuum Sealer! The build quality is top-notch, and it seals everything perfectly — even soups and marinades. It’s so easy to use and feels super professional. What really impressed me was Wevac’s amazing customer service. They responded quickly when I had an issue and arranged a full replacement with zero hassle. It’s rare to find a company that truly stands by its products like this. Highly recommend — both the machine and the people behind it are outstanding!

Firstly, the customer service is second to none. They were very fast in replying to my initial enquiry and then subsequent correspondence was spot on. I immediately felt this was a good company. The Wevac chamber arrived quickly and safely, I was initially worried about a dent in the box and customer service said to check the machine and let them know asap if anything amiss. It was actually fine. What a smart piece of equipment, in both looks, design and efficacy. It is robust and feels like it will last a lifetime. Very simple to use and I’m really glad that I took the recommendation of Leisa (SuttonsDaze on YouTube). I have recently bought a freeze dryer and shall look at how effective this is with sealing Mylar bags. I may find I use it for the vacuum only in this case. For that I would seal the Mylar bags with the Harvest Right Impulse Sealer then cut off one corner, vacuum seal in the wevac and then reseal it if necessary. But, I’ll test it on 7mm Mylar bags first I highly recommend this item and this company. Their bags are pretty awesome too!

I have a £60 small vacuum machine that is more powerfull than this.... tried all settings on it and it always leaves air bubbles inside the bags. Dont waste money on this.

Works very well, costs a bit but worth it for anyone serious, I've been though a couple cheaper ones before. I was a bit worried as I wanted it to be able to seal Mylar bags which it does with ease. Does take a bit of time vacuuming but I think that is normal for all chamber vacuum machines. Great thing is you can put your item in and leave it while preparing the next item for sealing so you don't need to keep your hands on the machine during the process.

Really good machine. We bought it because we make a lot of sausages, which we then freeze. When we used normal freezer bags, we sometimes noticed a strange smell or taste. Since switching to vacuum packing, everything is so well sealed that there’s no smell at all. The machine does a great job.

Easy to use and works well

I was using a push down sealer to vacuum seal bulk meat purchases. Juices were always a problem with continuous cleanup. I got a freeze dryer to start making MREs for camping and emergency preparedness. They use Mylar bags which a bar vacuum sealer won’t work with. I don’t have to vacuum seal freeze dried food but it helps with space. This has worked perfectly removing the air and sealing the Mylar bags. I’ve also used it to seal regular vacuum seal bags I used on my push down sealer for bulk meat purchases. No more juice messes! I could seal bags of broth and soup and freeze them with no mess! Depth was a deciding factor for me overall and this unit had more depth than other models and I’m glad I got a deep model. During the process some bags and pouches will actually expand like a balloon and I’ve had larger items push against the glass lid and visibly stress their seems continuing to expand where there’s no resistance. Actually had a pouch burst, thankfully it was just dry noodles so no mess. Transferred to another bag, pressed the air out better before starting and that solved that problem. This has a pretty large capacity. I’ve done some 1/2 pint bags with freeze dried fruits and I’ve done gallon size Mylar bags with noodles (pictured) and rice and sugar and such. Gallon is the largest you can go. I included pictures of the gallon bag of noodles to show relative size and depth. The unit is very solid and robust. It has a strong thick metal body, thick glass door and it’s decently balanced when picking up so it doesn’t feel like it wants to tip any certain direction when I pick it up to put it away. Speaking of picking it up. It’s quite heavy but manageable. However, I soon found a permanent location because it was heavy and I didn’t want to risk eventually dropping it. It’s a bit large so not something you may want on your kitchen counter long term. My only real gripe and I believe it’s just me being impatient and this is just the nature of owning and operating a vacuum chamber sealer is, it can take awhile to seal some things. There’s three presets for sizes. S for stuff around 1/2 pint bag, M for quart sizes, and L for gallon. The preset times are 30s, 45s, and 55s respectively for these sizes. That can take awhile to seal a bunch of bags. I’m standing there waiting for around a minute per item. I can go do something else though and then switch the next bag. You can set your own times but that’s content specific I’ve found. I can do a 10-20 second vacuum on freeze dried foods because it doesn’t have to be absolutely air free, but it still draws it down pretty tightly. I also don’t want it too tight because some dried foods have hard edges. But sealing meats like chicken breasts in 2-3s, hot dogs, steaks, they need it to run fairly long to really get that air out. Otherwise you’re left with a couple small air pockets still. With the push down vacuum sealer you can massage the air bubbles out while it’s still drawing air out, not when it’s in the chamber. I like to pre-make and freeze mini smash burgers; basically meatballs. Those will not draw the air fully from between them like the push down can. But everything else it excels at when vacuum sealing. Having this able to do liquids, I’ve started making sweet tea in bulk and sealing them in quart Mylar bags. One bag makes a whole gallon. Just grab it, dump it in a pitcher, fill the rest of the way with water and stir. Perfect like I just made it, but I made 12-20 so I have that mane weeks already done I can just grab and make up real quick. Just something I can do now since I have this instead of making a pot every week. It’s a bit pricy compared to push sealers but it’s a game changer for resealing bulk purchases. Oh, I also just got a smoker so I can use this to marinade meats deeply, and I bought a sous vide capable ninja since this does liquids. Opening new doors all kinds of ways in my kitchen game.

Am very pleased with the Weevac. Exactly as advertised. No more finding reezer burnt food at the bottom of my deep freeze! Vac sealing will keep it fresh!

I recently upgraded from a standard vacuum sealer, which had its fair share of issues, particularly concerning meat juices getting trapped during the sealing process. Intrigued by the positive reviews surrounding chamber vacuum sealers, I embarked on a research journey. However, the industrial appearance and large size of most chamber vacuum sealers deterred me. Fortunately, my quest led me to the Wevac 12-inch Chamber Vacuum Sealer, CV12, a game-changer in the world of vacuum sealing. Upon its arrival, I was immediately impressed with the modern and stylish design of the Wevac CV12, making it a perfect fit for any kitchen. The size of the chamber surpassed my expectations, offering ample space for my vacuum sealing needs. Putting it to the test, I filled one of the provided sealing bags with water, placed it in the chamber, selected the appropriate bag size, and within approximately 30 seconds, I had a flawlessly sealed bag of water. This feat would have been impossible with a standard vacuum sealer. The Wevac CV12 has opened up new culinary possibilities for me, especially for Sous Vide cooking with liquid marinades and vacuum-sealing soups. In conclusion, the Wevac 12-inch Chamber Vacuum Sealer, CV12, has proven to be a fantastic investment. Its efficient and effective vacuum sealing capabilities, coupled with its appealing design, have exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the Wevac CV12 to anyone seeking a reliable and stylish chamber vacuum sealer. It has truly elevated my culinary experiences and is a must-have for any kitchen enthusiast.

I’ve been shopping for chamber vacuum sealers for about a year now. Many of the models I found look like they are industrial, way too big, or international shipping would cost nearly as much as the appliance itself. This one caught my eye because it looked presentable enough to keep in the kitchen, was large enough that it would take the biggest vacuum sealer bags I need, and was small enough that it didn’t require me to get rid of any of my existing appliances. The price was reasonable, so I decided to buy it despite not having any reviews. It arrived triple-boxed, with thoughtful placement of packing paper. I read through the entire instruction booklet right away. There were several grammatical errors, but I understood what the manufacturer was saying. I installed the sealing bar (in which you simply push it into place), connected the power cable, and it was ready to go. My first attempt failed to seal. I realized that with the lid open, you can press the sealing button and adjust the sealing time up or down. I increased it to 4. My second attempt failed with the error E01 on the LCD, and I believe this happens when you don’t gently press the top down for a second or two when it first starts sealing. This was my fault. My third attempt partially sealed, and I knew from my first attempt that I needed to increase the sealing time slightly, so I changed it to 4.5. The setting you need may vary depending on the vacuum sealer bags you use, but 4.5 worked for me. I made some soft ice packs with water and isopropyl alcohol, something I wasn’t able to do very easily with the vacuum sealer I bought more than 10 years ago. It’s almost grilling season, and these are nice to keep food at safe temperatures when it’s hot out. The machine beeps twice each time you use it, and I’d prefer the beeping to be a little quieter. The vacuum pump is a little loud (as expected), so I won’t be using this late at night, but I’m happy with my purchase. I would recommend it to anyone who has a need to vacuum seal marinated foods, liquids like stews and soups, or other items that wouldn’t seal easily with an inexpensive consumer-grade sealer.

Works very well, impressed with sealing results!
