Best Vacuum Sealer Australia (Buyers Guide)

So you're in the market for a new vacuum sealer and you're not sure which one is the best or whether they all offer the same functionality and features.

In Australia there is a wide variety of different brands and models all pushing their own vacuum sealer as the best, yet most are very similar.

As a consumer this can be challenging when it comes to choosing the one that offers the best reviews, ratings and consumer feedback.

There's nothing worse than buying a product online, finding it doesn't work properly and then having to return it to get your money back.

All the vacuum sealers reviewed by Best Five magazine are high quality and during initial testing lived up to all expectations.

When we decided to write this guide we looked at many different vacuum sealer reviews from other sites to see what was the best vacuum sealer money could buy.

Brands such as foodsaver, weston, nutrichef, ziploc and cabela's all seemed to get a mention but you can't even buy them in Australia.

You definitely don't want to buy a foreign one either as the plug will require an adaptor and may be unsafe. Not the type of equipment you want in your kitchen right?

The best value vacuum sealer, was also the most compact, offering fast sealing at a budget friendly price. That was the amzdeal model which is the amazon vacuum sealer, their own brand at a rock bottom price, perfect for every kitchen.

You can buy a sealer from many different retailers and big box stores such as Harvey Norman, JB HiFi, Kogan, Big W, Target, KMart and kitchen specialist shops.

We found all our sealers on Amazon Australia which offers fast free shipping nationwide and a simple to use returns and warranty process.

The CANCEL/VAC allows you to control the sealing process when you are managing delicate items such as crispy foods, eggs, bread, or jewellery etc.

The SEAL mode doesn’t use a vacuum seal and is useful when you want to seal foods for short periods or items which do not need to be protected from moisture or air.
