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

Works great - ignore negative reviews

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 fast and amazing! Literally no set up! You just plug it in and go! Easy and clear instructions too! Made of metal and feels very well built and sturdy. Can not say enough! 10/10

I love this impulse sealer. I bought it in 2021 and it has worked well for me. The seal quality is good and changing the heating element is pretty simple. The fuse button fell off though and it stopped working. I’m not sure how to contact the seller. Please reach out to me.

The media could not be loaded. The METRONIC Impulse Sealer, with its 8-inch manual heat sealer design, has established itself as a vital tool in my packaging arsenal. Here's an in-depth look at my experience with the product:1. **Ease of Use:** Among its standout features is the sheer simplicity of its operation. New users will find it refreshingly straightforward, thanks to the clear instructions that accompany the product. Even without prior experience with such devices, I found the learning curve to be minimal.2. **Quality:** The construction quality of the sealer exudes reliability. It doesn't come across as a flimsy piece of equipment but rather a robust tool built for regular use.3. **Value:** Given its functionalities and the convenience it offers, I believe the METRONIC Impulse Sealer offers commendable value for its price. It's an investment that, over time, will likely prove its worth for anyone regularly sealing plastic bags or shrink wraps.4. **Packaging:** Unboxing the sealer was a delight. The packaging was thoughtfully done, ensuring that the product reached me in pristine condition. This attention to detail speaks volumes about the brand's commitment to customer satisfaction.5. **Performance:** While many users, including myself, found the performance satisfactory for regular sealing tasks, there have been varying opinions. A few users have pointed out occasional inconsistencies in sealing, which could be attributed to either user error or machine inconsistency.6. **Seal:** The sealing mechanism, for the most part, works efficiently. However, there have been sporadic reports of the seal not being as tight or uniform as expected. It might require a bit of practice or adjustments to get that perfect seal every time.7. **Sturdiness:** Though the overall build feels solid, some concerns have been raised about its long-term sturdiness. Regular maintenance and careful usage can possibly mitigate potential wear and tear.8. **Heat:** The heat distribution while sealing is generally even, ensuring a good seal.

While it has its strengths, potential buyers should be aware of the mixed feedback on certain aspects like performance and sturdiness.

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.

Very Strong, works well no issues at all.
