Hand Impulse Sealer Heat Seal Machine Poly Sealing With Element Grip and Teflon 20" (Inch)

The sealer works wonderfully, nice and sturdy piece of machinery. I was a bit of a pain in the ass with the seller and they were so helpful and quick about everything. I thought the sealer didn't work, so I returned it. Within the same day, the seller sent a return label along with an apology (even though- it turns out- I was probably wrong).Before I even responded or shipped the product back, they had already express shipped the other sealer to me. It arrived in 3 days! Only then did I realize that you have to push down pretty hard to get the heating element to turn on. I feel silly because there probably wasn't anything wrong with the first one- except the fact that I have tiny, delicate hands that didn't push the handle down hard enough in the first place.So feeling embarrassed about the whole thing, I wanted to leave this review about1)How well this product works (well made, does the job and at a great price!)2)How impressed I was with their outstanding customer serviceWell done, guys! I would definitely recommend this seller and their product.

This is a reliable tool. works well everytime.

I purchased based on at the time a single review and before I received it Sum Dood posted his review that had me a bit worried. I received the sealer, took it out of the box, plugged it in, put a bag in, closed it, pushed down, and nothing it didn't work. I noticed some play in the hinge so I tried again, this time I pushed the arm back, and it worked. Ok so it apparently needed a internal adjustment. I unplugged it, turned it over, removed the four screws in the rubber feet holding the bottom cover on and had a look. Sure enough when the arm is pressed down to seal the bag the arm that is suppose to depress the switch to activate the sealer wasn't quite bent all the way to do the job. Simple fix I used a pair of pliers to adjust the angle. All back together it works perfect now, I sealed more than a few bags (nice to not have to cycle my vacuum sealer each time just to make custom sized bags) with it, and works great. Photos attached, first with the bottom cover removed, second with the arm pressed all the way down you can see it barely touches the switch, third is after the adjustment with the arm closed but not depressed to seal yet, and the last one shows when the arm is depressed all the way down to seal.

Bought this in 2014, its 2017 and it still gets used. Have had no issues with it. Its pretty self explanatory, you plug it in, put your poly bags inbetween, push down on the handle and wait till the light goes out. Then lift up and take your bag out. Figure out the right setting not to melt the plastic, and also to get a full seal, then leave it alone until you change bag types. I generally leave my setting in the middle'ish.

I bought this for our factory. We use various quantities of powdered ingredients in bags. We melt the bags AND ingredients into our mixes, and this seal prevents us from dealing with knots or messes from unsealed bags. Once you set the seal using the easy knob, it's a done deal. It works quickly and efficiently every time without a hassle. It's been used every work day for a few weeks now and no complaints.***EDIT*** Today is 11/21/2016 and we are still using this. We have been very happy!

The first time I used this sealer, it worked. The 2nd time I used this sealer, although it did turn on, it did not create an effective seal. I could see a line on the bag, but it could easily be pulled apart and was not actually sealed. I then attempted to seal with it over and over again, trying different ways of placing the bag, holding it closed for a significantly longer duration, etc but nothing worked because it was a defective product. Alas, I got tied up in dealing with the things in my life that take priority over heat sealers- silly me! I requested the return outside of the 30 day window (barely) and I was told I could no longer return the product. So, this seller can't stand by their product working 2 times within 6 weeks???? Pretty lame. BUYER BEWARE!!!! Don't waste your money on this piece of junk when there are far superior options, and don't fund this bad customer service with your money!Here is the heat sealer I got to replace this one, the Vitrust impulse sealer- it is far superior and comparably priced!!! On the Vitrust, you can adjust the heat setting easily and it has an autotimer element built in for the heat source so you know you are holding it closed exactly long enough to make a seal (as the heat element automatically shuts off even if you are holding it closed still). The Vitrust makes a 5mm strip instead of the Primetrendz's measly 2mm strip (so the Vitrust makes a much more effective seal even when the PrimeTrendz one is actually functional). And best of all- itthe Vitrust one works!!! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071HT2ZG1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I originally bought this to seal homemade soaps. Little did I know how versatile it is. I use it all the time. I reseal oatmeal, cereal, crackers. In just seconds, the opened bag is sealed as if it was never opened. I can see it saving us lots of money in the long run, since the seal will keep bugs out and prevent things from getting stale.
