From an insider´s tip to a favorite gadget
Vacuum sealing fundamentally changes the way we handle food. It’s incredibly easy to use, it makes a huge difference in everyday life. Meat stays tender and juicy, vegetables remain crisp, and vitamins and flavours are preserved. Once you own the set, you’ll quickly realize just how useful this little kitchen gadget becomes in everyday life. This is also confirmed by Theresa Neefischer from the Rommelsbacher team, who uses the set extensively at home: “For me, the Hand Vacuum Sealer Set is an absolute gamechanger. Thanks to the vacuum, the food still tastes as if it’s been freshly cooked, even days later. The little vacuum sealer fits comfortably in your hand and is ready to go straight away. I really underestimated it at first, but now I can’t imagine my kitchen without it. It’s just so much fun to vacuum-seal things so spontaneously and easily in everyday life.”
A genuine ‘product of the future’ for specialist retailers
This enthusiasm is not only evident amongst end consumers; the product has also been enthusiastically received within the industry. As a further mark of quality, in addition to the five award seals, the set has been officially recognized as a ‘product of the future’ by the renowned industry and specialist retail magazine market intern. In response to the growing demand for compact, durable and sustainable solutions, this accolade underlines the high value placed on the vacuum-sealing concept – and provides specialist retailers with a strong selling point when speaking to customers.
