The PC 530 whose demonstrations promise a simple and efficient, is not as effective as that.
1, the zipper has problems with seals, especially after several uses, even after passing the zip disc.
2 Device with which you can that use the 531 & 532 pc bags whose evacuation is not obvious (there are still pockets of air near the food) prime cost of these bags is exorbitant compared their life Especially when many welds are loupées .And Not Always the absence of the User.
[[A failed weld = lost use, which reduced accordingly the life and the capacity of the bag .Some evacuated pretend impeccable let go after 6 to 8 hours of air entering the perniciously bag nowhere; A vacuum delivery after checking the previous welds and recheck the right bag with zip closure disc fixes the problem in 90% of cases, but lost re-use.]]
As we can not have absolute confidence in the welds, the ALIMENATAIRE SAFETY implies they are checked every day, especially for fast food putréfiables (meat, fish, etc ...) the thickness of the bag preventing any alerts by odors, A hole of a few microns is sufficient for air between but not odors that come out. And it only takes a little air for bacterial activity resumes
3 The closure system by not solder mini as reliable that it will have a larger weld surface have to solve the problem of leaky welds which do not let more.
4 These multiple faults makes this disappointing promising device and relegates to the rank of gadget. Especially since the price of the bags makes it very expensive operation. For not always obvious result.
Think carefully before ordering.
