Gasbye Powerful Sealing System – 6 Key Upgrades You'll Love!

[5-Year Quality Coverage] If you purchased our vacuum sealer based on a statement in our listing and feel it doesn't meet your expectations after use, you can directly contact Gasbye support for a 𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗨𝗡𝗗. If you are not satisfied, Gasbye doesn't want your money.

Your questions, answered

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Do I have to buy Gasbye bags, or can I use ones I already have?

No, you don't. Our VS5166 vacuum sealer is compatible with any textured/embossed vacuum sealer bags from other brands. However, we recommend using name-brand or Gasbye bags, as some low-cost bags are very thin and may be punctured by frozen foods, which can lead to air leaks.

Can this vacuum sealer work with reusable zipper bags?

We don’t recommend using reusable zipper bags.

First, from a food safety standpoint, reusable bags that previously held food can develop residue in the seams and zipper area, which is difficult to fully clean and may build up over time.

Second, they’re usually less cost-effective. A typical pack of 30 reusable zipper bags costs $30+ (about $1 per bag), while Gasbye pre-cut vacuum sealer bags are $22 for 200 bags—around $0.11 per bag.

For best sealing performance, hygiene, and value, we recommend using standard vacuum sealer bags designed for heat sealing.

I often need to vacuum-seal marinated steak, but I don’t want to draw out the juices. Does the VS5166 have a compatible marinate food container?

Yes! Using a food container allows you to vacuum-seal marinated meats or saucy foods without removing the liquid, keeping the marinade on the food. We’ve designed a dedicated container specifically for the VS5166 (not included in the package; Click here to purchase). Most vacuum sealers on the market do not support containers like this.

Why does suction power actually matter—and is 95 kPa enough?

Yes. The VS5166 reaches 95 kPa—near the maximum achievable by consumer vacuum sealers, and strong enough to fully evacuate air from thick cuts of meat and dense foods that weaker machines often struggle with. It's powered by a double-headed pump with twice the diameter of a standard pump.

I've seen the best-selling vacuum sealers. What makes the VS5166 worth it?

The VS5166 is actually made in the same factory as the best-selling model—but it's a 2026 upgraded version built around the complaints people had with that machine.

The drip tray is now removable—cleanup after sealing wet foods takes seconds, not minutes. The power cord is longer (5.2 ft vs. 3.9 ft), so you're not fighting to reach the outlet. Handles are upgraded from plastic to metal. The package includes 2 foam gasket replacements.

And the warranty has been extended from 1 year to 5 years—because we stand behind how long this machine lasts.

What happens if something breaks after a year?

We sell replacement parts separately—foam gaskets, removable drip trays, and built-in cutters, most under $7. A worn gasket shouldn't mean buying a whole new machine. Brands that offer separate replacement parts are quite rare; most only sell the full unit and offer limited post-sale support.

Great vacuum sealer

Works great & I like the double seal option

The best vacuum sealer under $100 hands-down!

i’ve tried about three different vacuum seals. The main reason I got this one is the double seal and also the suction is nothing like anything else I’ve had owned.Also, the shutting mechanism is excellent. Don’t buy one without a double seal. You’ll regret it.

Glad to hear the double seal and strong suction are working well for you. The locking mechanism was something we spent a lot of time refining, so it’s great to know it’s making a difference in real use. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Great Value

This machine is AWESOME! The last food sealer I had was back in the 80s . So choosing one was hard. This one is perfect to freeze my garden veggies and when I split my meat purchases into smaller portions. In addition, I emailed customer service on a Sat. Did not expect a response on a Sunday. They registered my machine, then they mailed me a free box of bags. Great customer service and product.

A Trustworthy Company that Makes a Very Nice Vacuum Sealer

This review is both on the vacuum sealer and company. I have had this unit for about 10 days now and it works extremely well. The sealer is well built and I can not figure any feature it does not have. When using it, it feels solid in all aspects and of course does a great job. So far every feature that the unit has, I have used with pleasure gaining more confidence.The product is one thing , BUT the company that makes and backs it up I believe is even more important. On the front label it states to email the company and they will extend the warranty to 5 years. They did just that with no problems at all. They did as they said they would. My unit was short (1) roll of bag material and after I notified them, they gave me a link to Amazon to purchase (2) rolls at there expense. All I have asked them, they did it promptly without any fuss at all. I do believe now and in the future they will be there for their customers.Thank You GasbyeRm

I have been madly vacuum-sealing then deep freezing all sorts of foods in preparation for the birth of our third in a couple weeks. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and ease of use of this vacuum sealer! It’s sturdy, the manual is very easy to read and includes helpful photos, and it works perfectly for everything I’ve prepared so far: make-ahead-meals, meats, veggies, fruit, marinated meats, and even baked goods. The suction power is excellent, and the seals are strong. You can use this with vacuum canisters as well. GasBye also offers a 5-year extended warranty which is great and tells me it’s very durable if they’re willing to honor a warranty longer than their competitors.

Only vacuums a few things at a time then you have to let it cool down before you see seal in another item

Best price and product

I was tired of spending big bucks for other feed vacuum sealers that never performed as well as this. It had been consistently performing well for both wet and dry foods. Had a high end product that just gave up. I’ve been using this fairly consistently and no hiccups whatsoever. Will give it time but so far, a truly reliable work horse.

I had a Food Saver brand for 35 years that finally quit working

I had a Food Saver brand for 35 years that finally quit working. I started doing research and found this brand. After reviewing the features, I decided to purchase this one. What a powerhouse! Love all the features! Especially like the manual mode for softer foods. So glad I found this!

Perfect in Every Way. Do Yourself a Favor: Just Buy It!

This vacuum sealer is AMAZING! I had a Cabela’s sealer for years and there is no comparison. I am completely surprised each and every time I use it...that the seal is perfect and effortless. I love the handle so I don’t have to hold it in place. So easy. It has been used for chuck roasts, ribeye steak, ground beef, fish, 8 lbs. of organic brown sugar – that one really blew me away. There is No way this package will ever find any air inside. That’s how good it seals. I used a double seal on the meat and made sure it was dry before packaging. I have used it for sous vide – great seal in the water bath. I am so impressed by this machine and so irritated with myself that I did not replace the old machine with the Gasbye brand years ago! Hard to imagine a better vacuum sealer on the market! Thanks for making my life more pleasant when it comes to sealing my food along with the confidence knowing the seal will last with no leakage, whatsoever! If you are looking for a new vacuum sealer, this is the one for you! No doubt.

We love this product!

We love this product! It is easy to use and works for all types of foods that we seal. We had another product name for years. It was failing - we tried the Gasbye based on recommendations and reviews. Now we understand the excellent reviews and add ours to it! We use it all of the time.

Great value

I have never owned a Vacuum sealer before so I did a lot of research and picked this one because of the good reviews and the price. I have to say the reviews didn't lie, it's very easy to use, lightweight and does a great job at sealing.I have used it for my fresh vegetables, bulk meat from the store.I would highly recommend this Vacuum sealer.

Does the job, easy to use, lots of good features.

Ordered our Gasbye model VS5166 vacuum sealer from Amazon after reviewing many other vacuum sealer reviews. Product arrived before schedule ( appreciate that ), very well packaged. First time user of any vacuum sealer so read the instructions carefully, which were very easy, as well as using it. Used all the pre-sealed bags and half roll of bags on sealing steaks, chops and corn on cob first time using machine. No problems at all. Will be using on fish fillets next. Appreciate the extra foam seals with product and the 5 year warranty.s

Using to Store 3D Printing Filament

I am not using this for food. I use it to store spools of 3D printing filament attempting to limit humidity absorption, and it has worked well for my application. It is a simple machine, which is great for the makerspace where it only has one function. The gentle vacuum button is particularly useful with cardboard spools. For spools that can handle the force, this machines pulls a very strong vacuum. I generally double seal both edges for bagging filament, and the manual button works well here.Sometimes I have issues with bags not holding vacuum, but I do think it is the fault of the vacuum sealer. It usually appears to be a problem with the sharp end of the filament puncturing the bag under high vacuum pressure. Taping the filament to the sidewall appears to have helped mitigate this problem. I generally buy oversized vacuum bags for this application.I have purchased 3 of these for different spaces, and all are working well.

Excellent suction and seal. Very dependable!

Love it! Had a nesco for yrs and this one is very similar and even better. Seems faster and I like the lock down bar better. I use it daily and it works great. The double seal is my favorite feature. I highly recommend this sealer

More economical to purchase, easier to seal

We love it. Actual, it is easier to use than the more “automatic “ Food Savor. Low profile. The handle will lock for transport but it will warp the gaskets to leave it locked. Extra gaskets are included. I sealed them gently to help preserve their life span while waiting to be used.

Great Budget friendly vacuum sealer

Having had many food items go bad in the freezer I have wanted a vacuum sealer for a long time. I finally bought this one. It is very easy to use and has done a great job of preserving or food. I bought a large box of vacuum bags when I was at Costco that work very well in this sealer. Now whenever I buy items in bulk I immediately put them into vacuum bags for future use.

VS5166 Vacuum sealer

I received my new VS5166 a few days ago and just used it for the first time. Wow, so easy and efficient! This is my first vacuum sealer. I was nervous that it would be too complicated and I’d waste bags and time trying to figure it out and use properly. Not the case at all! As recommended, I read the instruction booklet through. The instructions are clear and well illustrated.My first use I made a custom bag and sealed refrigerated meatballs using the moist setting. Worked like a charm! I can’t wait to try something else.Added bonus- you can receive extended warranty and additional free bags by sending an email to customer support. They responded quickly and fulfilled my request. I highly recommend this product.
