METRONIC Impulse Sealer 8 inch, Manual Heat Sealer Machine for Plastic Bags, Shrink Wrap Bag Sealers Heavy Duty Sealing Machine With Repair Kit (Blue)

First one broke after an hour of use (seemed like manufacturing error since the hole in the metal top was off center). Requested an exchange and received a new one 1 day after shipping the first one back! No issues this time, checked for the same error and this one has the hole in the right spot and works great!

Works great - ignore negative reviews

Buen producto

The media could not be loaded. Super easy to use and set up! Has been great for hobby baking and giving goods away to friends, neighbors, and coworkers. It only takes a couple of seconds to seal each bag.

Por favor dejar los paquetes pegados a la puerta bajo techo porque ahí se pueden perder o mojar ,por lo demás todo bien

Good

Edited to add pictures.Review for "METRONIC Impulse Sealer 12 Inch, Heat Sealer Machine with Repair Kit, Manual Bag Sealer..."I was in desperate need of a sealer for work after I stupidly broke the good one we'd used for years. I couldn't find the exact brand/model to match what we had, but since they all looked pretty similar I assumed one was as good as the next. Lesson learned: DON'T assume one is as good as the next.It arrived with a broken piece, but that was Amazon's fault for just shipping it in its retail box with no additional padding or anything. So I had to glue that back together. Which is fine I guess. I'm surprised that was the only broken part, but that's the least of the problems.Out of the box, the thing didn't work. At all. I made sure it was plugged into a good outlet. Checked the fuse. Everything appeared as it should, but no power. Since I needed this thing to work NOW, I decided to do some investigating before dealing with the returns process and waiting for another sealer. Maybe there were other broken parts inside? I opened it up, and no - nothing inside was broken. Instead, the piece that presses against the power button inside when you want to seal something is the wrong part! It obviously doesn't belong to this machine because it's completely the wrong size and shape. At first I thought it maybe was in backwards, but there was no way to flip it around, and I realized that even if I could it would only make it worse. The part in its correct position is literally half an inch away from the power button it's supposed to push. In a sad MacGyver moment I was able to attach a small piece of something to the part so that it now pushes into that, which then pushes the power button. Which is totally ridiculous, but desperate times... At least it "works" now.The top bar part of the sealer is pretty wobbly so it's a crapshoot whether you'll be able to get it properly centered. And the little handle attached to it is so flimsy that if it didn't bend so much it would snap in an instant. AND no matter the temperature setting, it just doesn't seal very well. Sometimes it does ok. Usually it leaves anywhere from a small gap to more than half of it not sealed, and the bags I seal (which are designed to be sealed) are only about 3".It is amazing to me just how poorly made this is. If I hadn't needed it so badly, it would have been sent back without a second thought. Since I was able to get it working enough to get by (and was also able to take the handle off my old sealer to replace the horrible one on this), I begrudgingly kept it. Do yourself a favor and don't even look at this page anymore. Just close the tab or hit the back button and look at some other sealers. ANY other sealers. I doubt any of them would be as big a waste of money as this machine.
