Whether you want to store your dry goods away from moisture, seal in freshness for your meat or protect valuables from the elements while in the field, ZipVac™ is the rugged and durable choice for the outdoorsman. The secret is in the reusable bags and handheld vacuum that lets you control the amount of vacuum to avoid crushing delicate items like bread. The ZipVac system features the first zippered vacuum bag with this system. You can enjoy the freshness that vacuum sealing adds to your food and the convenience of a zippered, resealable bag. The rechargeable pump is portable, so it can be used anywhere. In case you run out of power, however, we've also included a hand pump that works equally well.
Kit includes: Rechargeable pump, hand pump, three 1-quart bags and two 1-gallon bags.

Does not work,August 18, 2009
By SLOHunterTimfrom San Luis Obispo, CA
"I purchased this primarily for marinating purposes. I have purchased hundreds and hundreds of products from cabelas. I have not left a single review (because I have been happy) until now. This thing is complete garbage. The twist locks (where the suction occurs) on the bag break easily. These are obviously not made for marinating because the vacuum (hand pump or electric) will suck all the marinade out, making a mess everywhere. Even when freezing a steak, the liquid gets everywhere when trying to vacuum it. The electric pump itself does not have much vacuuming power nor does the hand pump. It would be nice if there was a way the pumps locked onto the vaccuum portion of the bag, but you have to awkwardly hold it on there. Plus, how the vacuum connection is located on the bag, the opposite side of the back simply sucks against it and the pump is rendered ineffective.
I bought these as they were on clearance in a cabelas store and I know why they were on clearance. Don't waste your money because all you will end up with is some fancy zip locks..."

Simple and works well,March 18, 2009
By newtoatvfrom SoCal desert
"Finally a vacuum sealer that has options! The electric unit works as well as others on the market and the manual pump can work 'anywhere/anytime' regardless of the battery supply. The bags work great."

Vacuum Sealer Kit,January 21, 2009
By mormorfrom Stevensville, MT
"I saw this on an outdoor channel. It is now the handiest item in my kitchen! No longer have to take out the big vacuum sealer when I just need to reseal cheese or leftovers or whatever! Remarkable little pump is very fast. Just plug it in the wall above the counter for the first 5 hours and it has been going strong on just the one charge! Haven't tried the hand pump yet. Excellent product!"

Bags fail to seal,December 30, 2008
By Don12from Seattle, WA
"The vacuum pumps, both the electric and the manual, work well. The sealer bags however, are another story. Of the bags that came with the vacuum pumps and the extras that I ordered, 50% failed to seal. Furthermore, I have not had any of those that worked the first time, seal again after freezing them."

Zip Vac System,December 8, 2008
By Warf1958
"I purchased this product to keep my venison and fresh fish safe from freezer burn. With in two days the seals on 15 of the 18 had broken and air had filled the packages compromising my game. Needless to say I am not satisified. I do not recommend this product to others."

zip vac kit,August 5, 2008
By bmcar
"I have been extremly unsatisfied with the zip vac kit. The hand and battery powered pumps work. However, the problem is in the bags. Approximately 9 out of 10 bags did not maintain a vacum seal. Faulty valves on the bags allowed air to slowly enter the bags."

Top Notch Product,July 31, 2008
By FisherKing66from Portland, OR
"Last month, my wife bought the ZipVac kit and bags for me as a gift. I am an avid fisherman on the Columbia and its been a great year for smoking Sockeye. I was surprised that the kit works just as well as the much more expensive heat sealers that I have used over the years. In my experience, ZipVac has been a top notch product in keeping my smoked salmon sealed-tight and fresh."

Too bad it does not work.,July 30, 2008
By ChumBucketfrom Yuba City, CA
"It is a great idea! Too bad the cheap valves won't hold a seal for more than a few days. It would be ideal for weekend backpacking trips but forget long term storage."

Nice tool,July 28, 2008
By jeepejeepfrom NY
"I bought this primarily to package game that I bag but since I have none at this time, I used it to protect some steaks I had bought. It is easy to use and easy to clean afterward. The steaks were perfect after freezing them. No frost or freezer burn at all. I recommend this product to anyone that freezes anything!"

Zip Vac,July 7, 2008
By kinggreyfrom Virginia
"I am really happy with the little device. I find myself using it frequently. So long as you make sure the bags are zipped tight, it works like a charm. The additional hand held pump works as effeciently as the battery powered pump. I love my venison, and now have everything I need to store and enjoy the low fat high protein meat, God has supplied us with."

Very easy to use,April 18, 2008
By Anonymousfrom Seattle, WA
"Works like a charm. In the several dozen times that I've used the unit, I've never experienced air escaping out of the vacuumed bag. Just make sure you seal the zipper properly by making a second pass through the zipper line. Once you zipper is sealed, you won't have any problems. Very happy that it is rechargeable too !!!!!"

not too good,March 13, 2008
By nrg1941from Sterling PA
"Very disappointed with this. I've only had 2 of 7 that stayed sealed and 'shrunk'. the rest were no better than a regular zip type storage bag. The new double zipper type with 2 stripes would be the ticket if you could vacuum the air out. I would return it if I could."
