Our take on the Nesco VS-02

The Nesco VS-02 is a 110-watt countertop vacuum sealer with a built-in roll storage compartment, a cutting blade, and a retractable hose for canister mode. It is a basic, affordable sealer aimed at occasional food storage rather than heavy sous-vide or bulk-freezing use. At $76.99 at The Home Depot as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the low end of what the five stores listing it charge.
