Vacuvita Reviews 

First and foremost, let me tell you that I am a relatively new owner of my system --- and I LOVE IT AND USE IT MULTIPLE TIMES EACH AND EVERY DAY.

I have told ALL of my friends and family about the wonders, benefits of, and impeccable design of the system. Without hesitation, I have most definitely included the highlights of the AMAZING customer-focused experience I have previously had the pleasure of working with your customer service team on only one occasion -- a simple thing that I could have solved myself, actually.

To give you an analogy: I feel as though I am the only one in my family, circle of friends, and neighbours who is the first among all of them to obtain a telephone on the wall, one of the very first to have a television, or a moving gas-powered automobile instead of a horse and buggy! When friends, family and neighbours come for a visit or a home-cooked meal, we always start our evening in my kitchen as I am still cooking or they want to share in the preparation of the meal. Let me ASSURE YOU that nearly every one of them, now upon entering my home, goes straight away to the kitchen and to my beautiful Vacuvita System! My true and closest friends know without question that they may even bring ANY item of food from their very own home and experience first-hand my Vacuvita System and I gladly let them!

At one dinner party/gathering, we had to relocate the system and group to the coffee table for me to give a full-on demonstration, as the kitchen would no longer accommodate the number of folks who needed to see it in action! An in-home demonstration accompanied with beautiful wine, hand-cooked food, accompanied by wonderful friends, and YOUR system being the complete center of attention — simply MADE the evening. I LOVE my VACUVITA TO NO END!

One simply cannot go wrong with this product, HANDS DOWN! I already know I’m planning to purchase at least 3 additional units as Christmas gifts and it’s only mid-March!!

Many Thanks Vacuvita, as you are now a permanent part of our home and everyday living.

I have the home base and love it. It is stylish, effective and quiet. I have been keeping my bread and pastries in there; lasts so much longer. I live in a desert area and things dry out over night.... not so with the Vacuvita. I also have used the bags for Sous Vide cooking. Works great

We received the vacuvita as a gift.
Without any previous experience with vacuum storage I was sceptic about its use. But learning about its possibilities by using it for all kind of purposes made me enthousiastic. Storing bread, crackers, and cookies, but also marinating meat and freezing food: it works very well with the vacuvita. Its functionality combined with a beautiful design makes it an essential part of our kitchen now of which we think: wish we could have discovered it earlier!

At last a high end vacuum device. I have a lot of uses for it. bread, cookies, potato crisps, everything stays nice and fresh in the homebase. in the containers we store leftovers and food prepping. I tend to make a lot of soup and pastasauce in the slowcooker and store this also in the small containers in the freezer. this is ideal for busy work and schoolnights. I have a very strict diet so I have to make everything from scratch, this vacuum machine makes life a lot easier.

Save money! Freshest products thanks to Vacuita on counter system.
The vacuum system works perfectly to help prevent throw away foods.
I would suggest this product to everyone that enjoys longer lasting fresh foods!

I had a great experience with Vacuvita! I absolutely love their Vacuum Food Storage System! The system will be saving me so much money now that I won't be wasting and throwing out food. Definitely consider purchasing Vacuvita if you want foods to last longer and fresher!

I wanted to use this for awhile so I could leave a review that represented a true feel for what the Vacuvita is all about. For the most part I have liked this product but there have been some disappointments. About 50% of the time we have to attempt to remove the air multiple times before it will finally "catch" and do what it is supposed to. In the beginning I thought we were doing something wrong but when it works correctly we are doing the same exact thing as when it doesn't work. This can be very frustrating.
I also thought I would be using it more than I have. We do use the base consistently for bread type of items.

I am not sure if I would be interested in the product for the going rate that one would have to pay. I think it is convenient when it works.

Highly responsive customer service with an aim to please! There is nothing nicer than seeing a new small company that provides such superior customer service. Will definitely be doing business with Vacuvita again (I'm thinking I'll get more containers, in a different colour).

I was one of the original backers of the project on Indiegogo, so I waited almost 4 years to receive my complete kitchen package. In my previous experience with funding these type of projects, I was ultimately extremely disappointed in the end product.

However, upon receiving the product and using it for more than a week now, I am beyond thrilled with it! It really features everything as promised by the initial campaign and MORE. During their development process, they've managed to include two additionally helpful features: the translucent stripe on the containers and the QR codes. The product is super easy to use, I was able to use it plug and play even without reading any of the instructions provided. Its intuitive, it's beautiful and its functional!

As other reviewers have mentioned, the packaging of this product is SUPERB! It's indeed "Apple" level- it's as if Apple designed and made it themselves.

I encountered a mistake with receiving the wrong coloured package-however, Kasia, a customer service rep, has gone ABOVE AND BEYOND, even taking time out of her personal life, to rectify this situation, all the way from Europe. This is just amazing!

I can't wait to order more containers as having this device has encouraged me to eat more fresh produce!

great way to save the freshness of your bread and other items...works great for the single person who needs food to last longer or the family who buys in bulk.

the design also is "modern" so looks good on your counter.

I bought 2 of these Vacuvita machines and their accompanying products. They are really beautifully designed. The accompanying boxes are good, about a 9 on a scale of 1-10. They are hard to get used to, as they are so different than what one generally has on hand, such as Tupperware. I DO WISH that Vacuvita would create an even smaller container box. Not all families are large and some of us produce small leftovers.

Now to the machine, this is very disappointing and I really hope you folks have an answer for me. I use one unit to put crackers and anything other than bread into. Works great - love it. But, we love crusty, very high quality bread that goes for $8/loaf or so. When I put this bread into my Vacuvita and it does it's suction thing - it appears to remove all of the lovely "crustiness" from my bread! Sure, it does not go stale. But it is no longer any good either (the bread that is). I use the bread box according to direction. What am I doing wrong? I hope you have an answer. My husband hates these Vacuvitas..

I really like this design as it fit the needs to prepare and preserve foods and food aromas to other foods such as fruits and veg. I'd prefer for all my foods to have their individual flavour bringing the dinner plate to an aromatic effect around the table. Every taste to its own. I'd recommend this product to anyone.

I received my shipment of the Home Base, 1 large square container, 2 medium containers, and 2 smaller containers (plus some vacuum bags) the end of November.
1. The packaging was just about Apple (computer) calibre. It would have survived quite a drop.
2. The manual (in English) was very well done; well illustrated, well spoken, quite logical.
3. The workmanship was without flaw; the plastic parts looked polished without sharp edges. Everything fit precisely (really important with vacuum seals.) The containers have taken several trips through the dishwasher and look like they did the moment I unpacked them. The external vacuum hose (for the containers or vacuum bags) looks like it will give several years' service before replacement.
4. The design was very well thought out. The vacuum flaps on the lids of the containers are virtually foolproof (as long as you keep them clean.) The silicone seal between the containers and lids looks like it will last a few years before replacement. The pressing-the-release-button on the Home Base process is ..... elegant !
5. Functionality - I LIKE IT ! I use up two one pound bags of Trader Joe's almonds per month. (1 light salt + 1 smoked) In the past, by week number 3, ( even though the bags were closed with a clip,) the nuts were starting to get a little "tired." Each of the small Vacuvita containers will hold a 16 ounce bag of TJ's almonds. Now those nuts always taste like the day I first opened the package. I like to purchase either a fresh baked ciabata or a baguette on my weekly shopping trips into town. They would last a day on the counter/fridge (without toasting) or maybe 3 (as toast) if I wrapped them in plastic wrap. Now they go about 6 days still in their original paper bags inside the Home Base. I have not tried freezing anything yet inside one of the containers - although I did seal a flank steak in a vacuum bag in December. I assume it will be OK when its "Spring Thaw" comes, if only for the reason being that ALL the air (and probably its shadow as well) were sucked out before freezing. I'll come back here and let you know if it didn't work.

I LIKE IT, my hands are on at least 4 of these containers each day. They use their space in the refrigerator much more efficiently (going into a square shape with a square shape.)

This is an excellent product and highly recommend it.

I initially had a problem with my order that prompted me to give a low rating, but I am now revising the rating.

Vacuvita's customer service is excellent. They not only corrected the problem in a timely manner, but also went out of their way to make sure that I was completely satisfied. In fact, they did more for me than I could have expected. I wish that customer service at all companies would be as good as this.

Honestly we love this system! So easy and an excellent way to preserve our food! I feel confident that our food is safe and what a wonderful way to preserve! I love this system so much, we use it almost every day. It was so worth the wait, and we can't thank you enough! BRAVO for all your hard work, it's changed my life! 💕

From marinating meat in less time than before, to keeping cheese and other ingredients fresher for longer, Vacuvita has become an integral part of my kitchen. It looks great on my counter and receives a lot of interest as well as compliments form family & friends. Better still is how well it works and how quiet it is. Make no mistake, it can be heard, although it is a soft, easy sound. Using the bags took a little getting used to but after learning how best to place the hose it is a cake-walk. Looking forward to using them for cooking sous vide. Very pleased with it.

The unit works as expected. The only small reservation I have is about washing the lids. They should not be placed in the dishwasher, but with some thicker soups/stews the little corners on the bottom of the lid can be mildly annoying to clean. Soaking for a few minutes in warm water is usually sufficient. This by no means diminishes the usefulness of the system as a whole and I am very happy I bought it.

I'm thrilled to finally have my VacuVita installed and in use! Besides helping me preserve and extend the life of my fresh food, I'm excited with the vacuum seal bags as I am a big sous vide cook and these are perfect! I'm sure I'll find more uses as I use the system and see what others are doing. Thanks for finally getting this to market!

The Vacuvitita units were worth waiting for, and a genuine value for those of us that were early funders. The base unit, while large, is the simplest to use and has become our new breadbox — keeping rolls and bread fresh far longer. We have had excellent results with marinating steak and keeping spinach and basil fresh in the containers. We have yet to master using the bags — some have lost the air tight seal or liquid seeped into the hose. Some improvements could be made to product design: 1. create a space to mark contents with a dry-erase marker for those of us who do not wish to use an app. 2. Include spare rubber parts for the plug in the main unit, and the removable seals on the containers (they are bound to get lost). 3. Clearly detail how to vacuum seal the containers and bags in the printed instructions (we did not find any and it took a few tries to figure out the rubber seal / vacuum process). Though a bit fussy for short term storage, this system takes some getting used to, but has a promising future to extend the freshness and flavor of food. Overall, very well done.

I've been using Vacuvita for nearly two months now, and cannot believe how much food I've managed to save in this short period of time. I'm still trying to optimize--deciding the best use for the main unit and what to put in the smaller ones--but I love having things like spinach, fresh lemons and limes, and fish seemingly last forever. The only down side is that the vacuum cap that attaches to the plug-in line seems a little flimsy, and the unit seems to want a lot of downward pressure from my hand to get a solid seal. I'd say I'm still in the learning phase though. No comments on long-term durability, but I sure hope it lasts!
