I have one, not that model - I got mine for making meals as my own form of MRE where I know exactly what's in the pouch. I shall be getting a dehydrator soon too. I was concerned with the kind of additives used in trail foods, so many E numbers! So to avoid that I make my own, I have videos about it on my channel. I can also buy foods in bulk on the cheap, cook and store them too this way. I use stickers too - reason, for dates and rotation.
That's awesome Mark! Also thanks for the idea brother. I may have to make a video on making your own MRE's with this unit. Truly appreciate you sharing your experience with a product like this🤘
May want to add a small bag of baking soda in case the beans are a bit hard as they are for longer term storage. It helps soften the beans and it’s already in the bucket and you don’t have to search for some or open another package. I always put a small bag of soda and salt in each. I like the idea of a large chamber, thank you for sharing. Your review of the Exoflow big daddy and the AC unit cost me a couple pennies lol. Mike loves it though. Be blessed ❤️🌿
That's a great idea Jenn, thank you! Oh you guys grabbed one awesome I love my ecoflow, when they were on sale I picked one up for pops 😁👍 God bless you guys 🙏💛
The first thing I thought about when I saw that big machine was: "I wonder if it vacuum seals mason jars?" I was a little let down when it looked like it wasn't large enough but I'm glad you said you saw someone seal a jar. I'd be interested in seeing that!
While researching this product I searched RU-vid and watched several videos now of folks sealing jars. This one channel had 6 jars upright and sealed them. I was like wow very cool 😎 👍
Took a chance on a food saver I saw in a thrift store for $9.99 that looked brand new….it works okay. Mostly use it for frozen food, Mylar w/O2’s for long term storage. I like the large system you demonstrated👍
Its pretty large appliance, but as you stated its more so a commercial unit. I would put this out in our barn where we process our chickens. We have 4 large freezers out there and 18ft prep table. This would fit in nicely. Grear review Grey ♥️😊
What I Love Grey is how you share the reviews on all the Item's it sure give us a great view on things you do test on . THANK YOU we bought some great items just because of your reviews on the items. That is so Super we happy on things we got and also thanks for the discount codes that really helps big time 😊. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ❤
I have a Foodsaver. It does okay but I have had issues with some having bad seals. This machine is nice. Off topic. Have you seen the music video of Oliver Anthony, Rich Men North of Richmond? I just watched it and I think you might enjoy it.
If it's within your budget its a great product. It definitely saves me a lot of time. Over the past several months I've used it for many different food preps as well as other odds and ends 😁👍
@@GreyManPrepping I'd be curious to see you do like some meat or stuff with some moisture! The food saver has a moisture mode that to me is kinda irritating and am curious if this product seals moist foods easier. I also like the mason jar attachments that come with the food saver but I really think I could keep the food saver for jars only as long as this machine handles moist foods better.
@@neverlookback3382 I think it may, I'm going to post a link here where I think they may have touched on it. I know someone did lol hopefully this may answer your question. I've also seen folks put their canning jars in the unit as well. Let me know what you think. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jYiBjLdqcSE.html
Agreed brother! I watched your video where you were sealing up chicken and mentioned ya in this one 😁 This thing is saving me so much time and the seal is excellent compared to using my Foodsaver. Thanks for the visit brother 🤘
I have a make-it break-it question: Can you vacuum seal flat, or square, or rectangle, or circle? Like coffee bricks or rice bricks. I’ve always thought vacuum sealing in a round foil cake pan that fits snuggly in a 5 gal bucket would be ideal. I can’t pull it off with regular vacuum sealers. Only thing I hate about vacuum sealing is the un stackable shapes. I might be a little OCD 👀
@@GreyManPrepping I think if you manufactured or 3D printed a form that fits inside the sealer, then used like a gallon sealer bag and got all the product within the form with the edges of the sealer bag hanging over, it might work. I’ll email ya when I get back to my laptop.
you say VEvor, I say VEEvor...lets call the whole thing off....lol. sorry I had too!! it looks great, a bit bulky to store but its really nice. Question, I use the bag rolls that you cut to size, can you just seal the one side of the bag without the vacuum? And yes, its rosered homestead...that woman with a gadget.. she's awesome too!!
That it isn't 😆 Shes a bit bulky. I usually do a lot of my large food preps in my garage so not such a big deal for me personally, but I can see how others may not like the size. I think it would make a great product for homesteaders for sure! 😁👍
@@GreyManPrepping Absolutely! Just not for apartment size living, nor a small condo with limited storage space. It is great for single family homes, & homesteads. I would not have it stored in a townhouse or condo garage, Op.Sec reasons.
I missed this video, so thank you for mentioning it on your 8/25 video. I think it is a great machine. I don't even have a Food Saver, so I don't think I can afford one of these at the moment. Other preps take priority. I think it would be cool if you made a jig. So the finished bags would fit better in a bucket. Then again, you would probably only fit three more anyway. The current way I package is with mylar with O2 packs, and I use a vacuum, lol. Love your garden, by the way. I did pretty well on mine. How did you do? I'm going to try my hand at making tomato sauce and pressure canning it.
Hey, whatever options are available to you have it, sometimes we have to get intuitive and find what is affordable and works. Keep on prepping brother 😁🤘 Also that's great to hear that your garden did well 🥳🙏
Great observation. Hopefully, they'll incorporate that in future designs. The only thing I could do after my initial seal was add another. I've done that in the past with my medium-sized food saver
@@GreyManPrepping I don't know why company call DZ-260C. It is clearly on the label in the back DZ-320 vacuum machine. The DZ-320 been around in Asia for about 8-10 years.
Was this unit given to you for free in order to give a favorable review? Serious question. I'm trying to sift through all the various reviews and trying to compare this against the higher priced units
This was given to me for a review. Favorable or Unfavorable is up to me during the month or so of use. I still use this thing every few days to process foods as well as a few other uses I have found for it. Now to be honest this is the only one of its kind that I have used outside of my normal food-saver vacuum sealers. I'm personally happy with its performance and haven't had any issues. I've used this in other videos as well since the review and plan to continue to use it, as it speeds up my processing time. The only complaint is it's limited to the space inside the chamber. I can't do my 5-gallon mylar bags. I have to break things down to about 1 gallon size which honestly is not too big of a deal. Hopefully, that helps answer your question. I have spoken to others who have this version or similar and seems like folks are happy with it. It also takes up much more space than a traditional vacuum sealer. I have a setup where I process my foods outside of the kitchen. We also use it for a lot of the meats we keep in the chest freezer as well as the fish we catch.
I've done some follow up videos sealing jars, liquids, meats and so on. This vacuum chamber has saved me time and creates a much better seal than my 2 foodsavers. This has been my experience.
It's definitely made for bulk processing. For the amount of food preps I work with it has come in handy. From my dry goods to the meats I buy for the deep freezer. 😁
@@johnnyharperscoutstable5386 Roger that brother! I didn't know you grew up in my state 🥳🤘 As you mentioned hurricanes It's been quite a few years since my area has bit hit hard, but unfortunately, it's just a matter of time. I hope all these newbies to Fl are ready!
Well isn't this nifty. I have a food saver. I feel it doesn't do a good job with meat. Never seams to get all the air out. It does better with veggies.
This thing is terrible for salmon or soft meat. Leaves too much air. Even at 50 seconds it way too much air. It does a great job in hard items. I bought this for salmon and its now going back.
Fair enough, my canner is actually about the same size. My dehydrator is slightly smaller. I guess it all depends on your prep space. Thanks for watching 😁👍
I bought 1 recently and been working great so far. It's heavy because of the oil vacuum pump and step down transformer. I still can't figure out the Two heater bars. As far as I can see only 1 heater bar, not 2 as claimed. Anyone has a clue?
Great question, so far I've been turning of the vacuum to 0.0 sealing one side then flipping it and turning my vacuum setting to where I need it to complete the project at hand. I'll have to do some research
Yeah, I would say this is for folks who do more large-scale prepping like myself. From all the meats, my garden veggies, beans, rice and so on it comes in handy for me. I've even been using it for medical supplies as well as bulk ammo.
great video thank you , i have one question, it looks like you have pre-sealed bags on one end, how does this machine work if you buy the rolls? ( i guess i mean is there a way to seal one end at a time?)
I have 1000 channels saved in my youtube list... I was eliminating 800 channels... when I came to yours.... this video saved your place on my KEEP list :)
My pleasure, the wife and I went head to head using the Vevor & Foodsaver and it did so much better than my foodsaver. It may be a bit bulkier but it kicked butt 😆👍
Everyone talks about what a great deal these machines are but I have found one huge problem. Vevor says they do not sell parts. You have to source them locally. I have never heard of such a thing. If the sealing bar or gaskets fail outside of the short warranty period, you are out of luck. Guess vevor expects you to buy another machine. If anyone knows of a parts source in the U.S. for these Chinese machines, please share. Only then would I consider buying one. The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten.
On my older machine that I bought years ago, I've replaced a few things on it. Place out in Texas. www.proprocessor.com/commercial-vacuum-sealer-parts.htm#
@fredanastas7103 Yeah, I learned that down the road. The materials I received weren't in English. So my information was from other youtube channels at the time of making the video and tinkering and learning how to use the machine myself. I guess those other folks were wrong as well. 🤷 Hey, we're only human. Simple mistakes are bound to happen.
So far no issues, I used Wallaby 7.5 mil mylar bags in another video. It was my "How to store flour" video and everything went flawlessly. Jars are a bit tricky but I found a way to do that as well depending on the size of the jar. 😁👍
Looks like a large complicated dust collector. Even taking out the shelf it doesn’t look like you could seal jars any larger than maybe a squatty 1/2 pt jar. My Foodsaver seals bags and both regular and wide mouth jars.
Complicated not too much, but you are right about the jar size it will do jelly & 1/2 pint jars. Now on a homestead channel, I was watching she put the jars on the side, which seem odd to me but it sealed them. Personally, I wouldn't trust it lol Regardless I appreciate your thoughts. Sometimes things are right for some folks and not others. Have a blessed evening Rena 🙏💛
