ROMECH 12 Inch Impulse Bag Sealer, Solid Metal Housing Heavy Duty Manual Heat Sealer Machine with Spare Parts for Sealing Plastic Bags & Shrink Wrap Bags (400W)

Excellent product! Seals bags very well. Just what I needed and at a great price.

I previously bought a different brand and it didn’t work right out of the box. Since it was new, I didn’t feel I should have to try and fix it. What I learned in between while looking for another, you have to watch the voltage output, no they aren’t all the same. Also, this one makes a wider seal. I didn’t know that before. This one has worked like a champ since I bought it and I’ve put it through the paces already. I had to wait a bit longer to get it and it wasn’t the cheapest but I wouldn’t trade it for another one after having using it. Sure simplified my life.

Arrived and looked well built. After sealing a dozen mylar 1 gal bags, the heat element burned-out. I replaced the element with one provided. Not easy to replace; the screws holding the element are spring loaded to put tension on the heat element which makes them retract into the medal frame. The bottom has to be removed to push the screw-well into the open (then the handle spring fell out.) After replacing the heat element, the light would come on, it would hum, but no heat, no seal. Check the replaced heat element; it was still intact. Returned for credit. Box states money back guarantee for 30 days; thankfully. Amazon very easy to return on-line. PS: Wife's hair straightener worked great.

Disappointed with product but excellent customer service from the company!! . Heating element is NOT 12 inches, the exact size is 11.75 inches. This may not seem like a big deal but becomes an issue when you are trying to close 12" bags which is a common size for things like chips. The product otherwise works fantastically well, as long as the item you have is not 12 inches or longer. Also do some TEST runs first. Less heat with more pressure is usually better. Heat setting of 3-4 with some pressure is enough for chips, cereal zip lock bags and other items.

We use this sealer more than we thought we would. I use it to seal one pound coffee bags to store coffee. The bags require the heat temp on the higher end. If you plan to use the high heat settings order the wider, heavier duty heat strips that are carried on Amazon. Just make sure you order the correct length. Provided heat strips work fine on lower temp settings.

Don't know why I had to have this. Bags in my house usually empty too fast. But we tested it and it works well... just in case we ever need it! It's large and heavy, so perhaps a smaller, hand-held battery operated one would be the smarter choice unless you're an avid "prepper."

My daughter uses this to seal her treats bags. It works wonders. Highly recommend this. Never disappoints.

The only reason this didn’t get a 1 star is because they replaced one of the now 3 machines I’ve tried. The first one worked until today when it blew a fuse. The 2nd one I ordered broke the wire literally one press in to using it. I’m on #3 and this one doesn’t seal properly leaving holes around the boxes I seal. Now looking for a new machine since all 3 don’t work anymore after having them for maybe a couple months.
