You get what you pay for. Especially when you buy cheap Chinese stuff from people who can’t make sure they use proper English phrasing.

This is the exact type of product I avoid at all costs

If you get it make sure it can be taken apart for cleaning. I had a similar one and it sucked shrimp juices into the chamber. Completely unusable even after a soaking.

I use something similar for 3d printing filaments. Works surprisingly well, but I would not want to use it with anything with liquids or even just the juice of some meat.
The food saver I have can be cleaned, this isn’t meant to be taken apart for cleaning.

No. But this little handheld pump: [https://www.yedihousewareappliances.com/shop/sous-vide-bags-kit](https://www.yedihousewareappliances.com/shop/sous-vide-bags-kit) that simply came with my Yedi Sous Vide cooker is a ***lot better*** and easier to use than the $90 Power XL Vacuum Sealer which is hot dogshit.

Honestly, I only use a handheld food saver vacuum pump much like that one and I’ve had zero issues with it. I will say any kind of hand pump is gonna be a lot more tedious than a standard vacuum sealer and only buy something cheap and Chinese if you’re willing to buy it twice!!!

I have never had any luck with this style sealer because the little port in the bag always winds up leaking. I did a quick search on Amazon and found an off-brand sealer for about $30 that has pretty good reviews. You might want to look at that before you buy the one you posted.
