The Anova Precision Pro is our best overall vacuum sealer: a double seal and wet mode for sous vide, a cutter and an accessory port, for about $100 with a two-year warranty. It's loud and plastic, and the lid needs a firm press in the center.

Test results
Healthy Recipes 101 measured about 67 kPa and about 83 dB. It passed their sous vide seal test on its default setting. Dry-food protection was decent but not perfect.
Bags
Edge sealers need textured (embossed) bags or rolls so air can escape. Avid Armor's 8 × 12 in embossed bags are $16.99 for 100, about 17 cents each; brand-name bags often cost more. See chamber bags vs embossed bags.
Price and warranty
Prepared States listed it at $100.99. Two-year warranty.
This review is based on Anova's published specifications, independent test results where available (we name whose test each figure comes from) and owner feedback, compared against the other sealers we track. We'll add hands-on notes as our testing progresses.
