Questions and answers
Can I purchase another accessory hose
Can I replace the upper and lower gaskets? If so, where can I buy them?
I don't have a question, I just want to say that this product VS230 is the worst. It can't vacuum air out. I wasted 2 hours trying to vacuum pack a piece of cheese for crying out loud. You should be ashamed for selling a piece of junk like this. The damn thing worked just once. It's pathetic. A waste of time and money.
my machine is not sealing bags and i replaced seals and still wont work
If your Seal-a-Meal VS230 is not sealing bags even after replacing the seals, possible reasons include:
- Moisture or liquid on the sealing area: Wipe the top inside of the bag and reseal.
- Gaps, folds, wrinkles, or holes in the bag’s pre-sealed edges: Ensure the bag is smooth and undamaged.
- Bag was punctured: Use a new bag.
- The sealing strip may be too hot: Let the unit cool for 20 seconds between uses or 25 minutes if used heavily.
Check all these conditions to ensure proper sealing.
