Reynolds Handi-Vac Vacuum Sealer Reviewed

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a one-sentence blurb about how I thought the Reynolds Handi-Vac would be pretty cool to own.
And I was so right! Reynolds PR decided to send me a free Reynolds Handi-Vac vacuum sealer starter kit to try and test out. IT IS SO MUCH FUN. Having an over-excessive amount of food never seemed as rewarding as when you are sealing it in a vacuum bag. Check inside to see the Handi-Vac in action and to watch me vacuum seal some pretty extraordinary objects.

One of the first things I did with the vacuum sealer was vacuum seal a piece of chicken. It worked like a charm. It completely sucked out all of the air from the bag and left the chicken in a state of suffocation. I then threw it into my freezer. I can now pack my meat like supermarkets do!

The Reynolds Handi-Vac vacuum is pretty strong for such a small device. The photo above shows the suction tip and its power on my skin. It’s pulling my skin away. The Handi-Vac is only slightly bigger than a Nintendo Wii remote. This means that it’s perfect size for storing away in a cabinet or something when not in use — definitely ideal for the small kitchen.
After successfully sealing the chicken, I didn’t really have any more food to vacuum seal. So I started looking for other things that might fit inside the Handi-Vac bags.

As you can see, the Handi-Vac is even good for storing away robots and small toys!

It’s also good for sealing away a Zune.

Oh, a Nintendo DS Lite can be nicely vacuum sealed with the Handi-Vac as well.

Ok, I lied about not having any more food to seal. Here’s an egg, completely sealed away with the shell intact. Not that anybody would ever seal an egg away, but hey, it’s good to know that if one should need to seal an egg, it can be done.

Heck! You can even vacuum seal the Handi-Vac vacuum seal bags. What can’t be done with the Reynolds Handi-Vac? Nothing I say! The Reynolds Handi-Vac is simply one of the best kitchen appliances I’ve ever used. It’s incredibly useful (for food and other non-perishable items)!
I’d totally recommend getting one. You can find them on Amazon.com for $23.75.
