Ziploc Vacuum Starter Kit Reviews

I have seen commercials and coupons for the Ziploc Vacuum Starter Kit, but as my parents have an electric sealer I thought there was no way this could compare, and never made the purchase. Recently, thanks to Home Made Simple, I was one of the lucky people to get one of the Ziploc Vacuum Starter Kit as a free sample, with extra coupons for other cleaning supplies and bags.

The Ziploc Vacuum Starter Kit is priced at $3.99 and includes three bags and one vacuum pump. Additional bags in a variety of sizes and for a variety of prices are available.

You start with the typical Ziploc brand double zipper....

I bought a Ziplock Vacuum Starter Kit and I love it.  I bought a large package of hotlinks and used some of them.  I opened my starter kit, put some links in the bag and used the vacuum.  It was so easy and it sucked the air right out of the bag, making the links look store bought.  I am now thinking of ways to use it.  I know my butter sometimes gets a refrigerator smell and I throw it out.  This vacuum is so easy, that I can used it each time I use the butter to reseal it.  There are no tubes or batteries, all you do is put the food in the bag, lay it flat and put the pump on the spot...

I was at the grocery store and saw this item on sale. I just purchased a chest freezer 2 weeks ago and have been looking to try something like this to deep freeze bargains I find. Well I decided to give this a try and purchased the 1 gallon sized freezer bags to go with it, since they were also on sale and I had a coupon. I used it today for the first time to package up some boneless chicken I bought and wanted to freeze. The instructions were pretty simple: Lay the bag flat after filling, squeeze the excess air out, and slide your fingers across the zipper at the top to seal it up. Next you put...

The Ziploc Vacuum Starter Kit is a great alternative for those of us who do not want to buy another electronic piece of equipment that you either have to keep up on you counter top, or stored inside of a cabinet somewhere. For less than $3 you get a hand held pump and a few bags to decide whether or not you like the product. Refill bags also cost less than $3. This product is so small, less than 10 inches long, you can stick it in a drawer and not worry about whether it is taking up too much space. I keep mine in the same drawer as my cooking utensils, and usually forget where I have put it, because...

With everything on the market these days, its hard to make the time to even use them after you buy them!  However, my philosophy is: If you don't really have the space or a lot of time to mess with a piece of equipment, buy something that is just as equally handy and stores in a drawer instead of your counter or cupboard, and sell the big bulky item that is just in the way -- instant space saver!  I love this product because the only thing you have to keep buying is the bags after the starter kit, which is still cheaper than buying a foodsaver, etc. costing over a hundred dollars  and taking...

The Ziploc Vacuum Starter Kit is a great buy so you will be very happy after you buy it. I would reccomend this to anyone who is a neat freak like me cause you can see through them you know where everything is. If you bye this product you will be pleased so i hope this review was helpful. Great buy.

The Ziplock Vacuum is fantastic!  The 'other' brand is more expensive and very difficult to work.

This vacuum REALLY does suck out all the air and its very easy, AND youdon't have to buy batteries.

This item has already paid for itself with the food I have saved in the 1.5 months I've owned it!

I paid nearly $5 for a Ziplock starter vacuum kit, and it is a piece of junk.  The flimsy vacuum "pump" fell apart upon opening the box for starters.  Totally not worth the money.  I threw the pump out after one use because it was impossible to reassemble.
