Seal Settings and Pressure

The Nesco VS-12 offers three different settings – Dry, Moist, and Double. The Dry setting is perfect for vacuum sealing dry foods as it uses a shorter sealing time. The Moist setting is ideal for wet foods, using a longer sealing time. If you’re looking to add an extra layer of security to the seal, the Double setting is just what you need. We like the double-seal feature, you don’t need to manually pull the bag and make a second seal, which is never as good as a double seal while the lid is still closed.
It has two pressure settings so you can choose the vacuum pressure according to the type of food you’re sealing. The Normal setting is great for a full vacuum pressure, while the Gentle setting uses less pressure, making it ideal for softer foods that need a delicate touch. No more flat burgers!

No Cooldown Time

Another great feature of the Nesco VS-12 is you don’t have to wait between seals. Most home type vacuum sealers require a 20 second cooldown time, this vacuum sealer, on the other hand, can do 100 consecutive seals without needing a cooldown period. This is great for when you have a big batch of food to seal. So, it works like the pro machines, no more waiting!

Dimensions

Weighing only 6 lbs., this vacuum sealer is light and compact, making it easy to move around and store. The dimensions of the Nesco Deluxe VS-12 vacuum sealer is only 15.75 x 8 x 4.5 inches (L x W x H).

Compatibility with Vacuum Hose and Canisters

The Nesco VS-12 works with a vacuum hose. There is a small port to attach a hose when the lid is open. Nesco sells a hose specifically for the VS-12’s vacuum port. Also, it’s compatible with FoodSaver hoses and canisters. So, it is very easy to find compatible jars for the VS-12.

Conclusion

We think the Nesco Deluxe VS-12 is a great all-in-one tool for keeping your food fresh. It is understandable why it is popular and gets great reviews. With its double seal mode, pressure setting, easy-lock handle, continuous sealing, and powerful performance, it has all the features you need, making it an excellent addition to any kitchen.
