This powerful vacuum sealer convinces in every household! This model can be easily opened and safely closed with one hand without any effort by means of the comfortable handle. The integrated foil roll compartment with cutting knife keeps the required roll always ready for use. The powerful pump ensures a vacuum of up to -0.8 bar in the foil bags, then they are automatically sealed with a solid seam in a single operation. With the special function for sensitive and moist food, vacuuming is possible automatically and safely; but manual vacuuming and sealing is also possible. Thus, the vacuuming process can be individually adapted to all types of food. Vacuuming of special containers is also possible, so that even liquids and very sensitive food can be gently vacuum-packed and kept fresh for a long time. This way, also frozen food can be protected from freezer burn. This solid vacuum sealer is also suitable for long-term use, therefore it is perfect for fishermen, hunters as well as semi-professional use in small gastronomy. Vacuuming extends the food life many times over - which is why the VAC 385 should not be missing in any household!

Which foils does the appliance work with? For household vacuum systems such as the model VAC 385, special foils and bags are required which are grooved on the inside to make an efficient air extraction possible. The high-quality ROMMELSBACHER foil bags and foil rolls are made of a patented 2-layer material and have a very special corrugation, which ensures extremely good extraction capacity. The material is BPA-free, resistant to heat and cold and very well suited for sous vide cooking. The bags are extremely stable and robust, so that they can be cleaned (even in the dishwasher) and reused many times. The very high product quality ensures the best vacuum sealing properties and long-term, sustainable use. For this reason we recommend to use the original ROMMELSBACHER accessories for our appliances, because this is the only way to make sure that all components work together for an optimal vacuuming process.
The foil bags are not sealed properly. What can I do? Make sure you are using ROMMELSBACHER foil and place the grooved side of the foils on the sealing bar. If this does not solve the problem make sure that the part where the seam is supposed to be is clean and is put in straightly. Also the outlet of the venting cap must be clean and the foil bag should not protrude into the sealing chamber too much.
How can I avoid that my vacuum sealer sucks in fluids from wet foods? If you intend to vacuum-seal especially wet foods there are multiple possibilities. If you for example want to seal berries for freezing, we recommend freezing them beforehand. This also avoids squishing. If you want to seal meat, put a piece of paper towel as wide as the foil in between meat and bag opening. This will absorb additional meat juice before it can get into the sealer.
Is it damaging to the appliance if liquid is sucked in during vacuuming? The appliance is designed in such a way that liquid that is sucked in cannot run into the pump. The liquid that is sucked in is discharged from the appliance through the housing via a T-piece that is placed in front of the pump. Please let the vacuum cleaner run empty approx. 3 times, i. e. vacuum an empty bag. After that, the liquid should have completely drained out and the vacuum cleaner can be used again!
