Impulse Heat Sealer Manual Bags Sealer Heat Sealing Machine 12 Inch Impulse Sealer Machine for Plastic Bags PE PP Bags with Extra Replace Element Grip

The media could not be loaded. I’m really happy with this impulse heat sealer! The 12-inch size is perfect and seals bags quickly and tightly. I’ve used it on different plastic bags (PE and PP) and every seal comes out strong with no leaks. It’s very easy to operate—just plug in, set the seal time, press down, and it’s done in seconds. I like that it comes with extra replacement elements, which makes it a great value. The build feels sturdy and durable, and it works exactly as described. Perfect for packaging, food storage, or organizing items. Highly recommend thanks

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 bought this to seal baked goods to ship as gifts and it works like a charm! Package took 10 days to arrive and the cookies that were heat sealed were still tasty! Easy to use and I love that it came with a replacement strip.

I barely got to use this in the 30 days of receiving it. It worked great until it didnt....one day after return window closed, it stopped working. Looks like I'm stuck unless the seller will make it right. I'd give 5 stars if I could get a replacement.UPDATE 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟The seller came through with a replacement. Offered a refund first, I asked for replacement. Very fast response, very pleased.

Worked great on my first few bags but the strip went bad and replacing it was a bit difficult. Reasonably priced and definitely a time saver.

Works great, sturdy and well made. Great price. Seals great once you figure out what temperature you want it on or if you want to seal and cut through.

This sealer performed without issue. This should last a long time and is worth the time and (small) cost, it makes quick work when working with mylar bags.

Worked for less than a month and stopped sealing in the middle of trying to get an urgent order out, literally two days after the return window closed. I had to drive to our shop a town over late at night to grab our other impulse sealer (different brand) so that I could hit my deadline. I was on the fence about buying this one because of some of the reviews and am quite disappointed that I bought it.
