​​Vacmaster PRO260 Review

Portability

​This particular VacMaster model has the footprint roughly equal to that of a large shoebox. As such, fitting the appliance on to an otherwise crowded kitchen counter-top should prove feasible in most cases. And while it may not be battery operated, the appliance’s lightweight nature (10-pounds weight) means that you can easily move it from its original place to just about anywhere in the house that has a power socket nearby.

Functional Versatility

​VacMaster sealer is extremely versatile and allows you to adjust the vacuum power as per the delicate food items like liquids, marinated meat, and even flour. You also have the option of sealing heavy-duty storage bags with its changeable setting options. We have been using it for over two months now and just love the fact that you are able to store just about any food item. Just to test, we also sealed a packet of soup once that fastened beautifully and even after a week the soup tasted perfect. Besides, we have also used it to seal our emergency kit when we went on an outdoor hiking trip. The product worked like a dream!

Design

​Although the VacMaster PRO260 has been designed with professional precision and is meant to be a kitchen-friendly item, it can be slightly bulky for the countertop storage. Nonetheless, its design and functionality more than makeup for the small aforementioned flaw. The spill trough is a nice addition to the sealer which offers pure convenience in dealing with overflows.

Ease Of Use

​The machine has been equipped with professional vacuum sealer mechanism but the operability has been maintained to suit the user-friendliness. We could easily understand the “Pulse” settings for delicate food and the “extended seal time” option to seal the tougher storage bags. Even my husband is able to seal the packages, without any hassle, after meals each night. The sealing system is so efficient that it leaves food tasting virtually fresh even after a couple of days.

Warranty And Replacements

​The customer service department of Ary has been very cooperative and helpful when I reported a small problem with the machine soon after I purchased it. They not only sent me a replacement within 24 hours but also assured that I can reach out to them if I face any other problem. The VacMaster PRO260 comes with a regular warranty with a replacement guarantee if there is a manufacturing defect.

Maintenance

​The machine comes along with 20 assorted full mesh storage bags and two 20-feet long full mesh rolls; the larger one is 11.5” wide whereas the other’s slightly less at 8”. The machine works better with bags textured from the inside as opposed to smooth bags. This was further reiterated to us by the customer service department. According to them, the latter’s smooth interior hinders the appliance in creating the desired atmospheric pressure within the bag, which directly impacts the overall suction efficiency.
