CILAVI Food Vacuum Sealer Machine with Roll Cutter & Hose Automatic Food Saver with 10pcs Vacuum Sealer Bags, Dry and Wet Food Vacuum Sealing,Great for Bag Jar Container Food Sealer Storage

This product is easy to use; however, the instructions are written with tiny lettering. I had to use a magnifying glass to read them. The product works as expected.

It’s a sleek compact unit that doesn’t take up a lot of counter space. I bought it for use with Sous Vide cooking. It was perfect for cooking a Sous Vide steak. I didn’t have to try to weight down the package during the Sous Vide heating process. No mess. Great steak.Why only 3 stars? The instructions were not just poor. They were terrible. When I opened the box, a bunch of parts fell out. Did I need them all? No. But the manual gave no hint of what they were. I am including a photo. I have figured out the parts, but no thanks to the manual. I learned I really didn’t need them.The instruction manual was in such fine print that it was almost unreadable. It contains an illustration listing parts A through K, but the illustration is so poor you can’t see the letters. The bad English causes some of the instructions to be meaningless. There was some loose tape on the heater element that I thought might be just packing material. After posting two questions, I got this explanation from the vendor. "Yes, the tape should be always on the place what it located on the vacuum sealer. it's not allowed to take it out, only in the case of broken tape to replace."I would raise the star rating if the vendor were to post online an instruction manual in good English designed for United States users. A good video would help.

The only thing I didn't like was the way it would lose its packed suction once it was in freezer .
