Reynolds Handi Vac Vacuum Sealer By dlpcarden on Nov 24, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

We have one of the larger size vacuum sealers that we got for Christmas several years ago. When I saw that Reynolds had come out with a small handi-vac I wanted to purchase one and try it out. I purchased the Reynold's Handi-Vac Starter Kit. The starter kit included the vacuum sealer, three quart size handi-vac freezer bags and batteries. You can purchase additional size freezer bags at any store that sells the handi-vac freezer bags. The package that everything is in is very difficult to open. The Handi-Vac is very simple to use. You place the food that you want to keep fresh in a handi-vac freezer bag and then close the bag. Place the bag flat on a counter and make sure that there is no food under the air valve. Finally, you press the sealer against the bags air valve to remove the air. The Reynolds Handi-Vac Vacuum Sealer is great to use if you only need to freeze something for a few days. I have found that this sealer seems to slowly allow air back into the freezer bag. If you need to freeze something for a longer period of time you might want to use one of the large size vacuum sealers.
