Love it! Purchased and received item, more than happy with product. I tested it out on 5 items of different size. The sealer works great. Perfect seal all five times. All I did was follow the instructions. I especially like the feature of not having an on/off switch, one less point of failure. I run a small business, and we will be using this DAILY. If sealer performs as well as it does now next year, I would buy the larger version hands down. FIVE STARS!

Work great on 6 mil poly set on 4

I store a lot of food in my freezer, whether meats I've sous-vided, veggies I've frozen, or even things like croissants and such. I vaccum-seal them all in standard sous vide bags, so that I don't ever have to worry about freezer burn -- it doesn't matter whether I reheat that croissant in the toaster oven 5 days later or 10 months later.But I generally want to reheat just a single portion -- a single steak, a pair of chicken thighs, a single croissant. But using my vacuum sealer to vacuum and seal both sides of each individual steak, each individual croissant, takes forever. So I do them in a long row -- a single long bag with 5 steaks spaced out, or 8 croissants spaced out. I seal them at once, then I use this to create seals *in the middle* of the bag, in between each individual item. This way I can cut open the end or cut off a single pouch and reheat a single portion without breaking the seal on all of them, and I don't have to use my vacuum sealer again to re-seal the rest.This works great for that. It does exactly what I want.I was worried because I saw a lot of negative reviews about it not making a good seal, not making a consistent seal (better towards the hinge), or the bottom of the unit melting or something.In terms of making a good seal: you have to figure out the right number to use and hold it down long enough. E.g. my sous vide bags don't get a consistent seal on #2, but on #4 it's perfect. The light stays on for only about a second and that doesn't produce a good seal, but holding it down for 6 seconds produces a perfect seal. If you're not getting a good seal, increase the number and/or hold it down longer.In terms of consistency: there is no difference in the seal closer to the hinge or further away. But it does make contact close to the hinge first, so I have to guess this is people closing it and opening it slowly, and not holding it down for long enough in between.In terms of melting: I'm only use this to make 15 or 20 seals at a time. Nothing is getting hot or melting on the bottom, it's fine. I can't speak to whether you could use this to seal 1,000 packages in a row over the course of an hour though. Obviously at some point it might overheat, and I don't see any indication of a safety mechanism to automatically shut off once it gets above a certain temperature.So it works perfectly for me. My two main complaints are:1) The packaging is impossible to open, because they glue-gun the cardboard box shut, and the cardboard is extremely thick and heavy-duty. You basically have to destroy the box to open it which means a return would be an ugly thing.2) This thing is super ugly. It definitely looks like it belongs in a factory, and not an office or kitchen. I don't know why nobody manufactures an attractive version of this? DOTPRO sells an 8 inch one that's vastly more attractive, but sadly not a 12 inch one like this.But this does the job and it's inexpensive, so it works. Even though it's ugly, I'll still give it 5 stars since it's obvious from the photos that it's ugly. I knew what I was getting.

I had tried two other impulse dealers from Amazon and returned them. The leds did not light up when plugged in, only when sealing and I’m always nervous about accidentally leaving something plugged in. Also the heating filament on this model lasts a long time. I was able to seal and shrink wrap items for a charity function and have those items look professional. There is a heat knob at the end to help regulate the temp of the device. Especially useful if sealing different thickness of bags. However make sure you get the right replacement filaments for this model. Also when changing filaments use a magnetized screw driver. Screws are small and easily dropped into the sealer. You can get the screws out with some shaking but it can take time.
