What can the VP400 seal that a suction sealer cannot?

Chamber sealers pull a vacuum around the whole bag, so they handle liquids, sauces and wet foods without the liquid being sucked out. The 6-inch-deep chamber also fits bulkier items.

What bag sizes does it take?

It handles bags and pouches up to 16 x 20 inches, matching the four 16-inch seal bars. The chamber itself measures 20 x 19.75 x 6 inches.

What power does it need?

It runs on 110 volts, 60 Hz and draws 30 amps, so it needs a dedicated high-amperage circuit. Check your kitchen's electrical setup before installing.

How long is a sealing cycle?

Cycle time is adjustable from 20 to 99 seconds, so you can set a longer vacuum for dense or moist foods and a shorter one for dry goods.

What comes in the box?

The sealer, filler plates to reduce chamber volume for smaller bags, 45 assorted chamber pouches, and a user guide.

Is it suitable for home use?

It is built for commercial volume, with a large footprint and a 30-amp draw. A home kitchen would rarely need its capacity or have the circuit for it.
