Guga Foods Vacuum Seal Marinade Container Set, Air Sealed Pump, Removes Air for Quick Marination, Barbecue & Grilling Marinator

This thing is awesome! So easy to use and our food comes out fantastic every time! Buying more for family 😋

Arrived with broken edges on top so won't be able to vacuum seal the lid anymore. What a waste

I had been wanting one of these ever since guga announced them on his YT channel. I finally ordered one and I am so happy I did. It is super simple to use and clean. It actually works as advertised. I used some chicken thighs and a ton of cilantro lime marinade. Use the vacuum pump and threw it in the fridge overnight. Next day I grilled the thighs and then pulled the meat for tacos. For once in a great while, the kids plates were clean. I do like the nonskid bottom and everything feels like good quality. The size could be a bit bigger but for the price I really can’t complain. I will probably end up getting another one so I can do different things at the same time. Overall I think for the cost and ease of use it worth the money I spent.

No pressure gauge and lid is made of a brittle plastic. Instructions say pump until resistance? That is so subjective. Honestly I was skeptical of the material quality when I opened it. This experience just confirms it’s cheap junk. DO NOT BUY THIS.

In writing my review, I focused on the second shipment of the product since the first one unfortunately arrived damaged due to transit issues. I was pleased with Amazon's responsive customer service, as they quickly authorized the return and promptly sent a replacement. The set features a convenient hand-operated vacuum pump that effectively seals the marinade when marinating meat or tofu in the container, ensuring the marinade thoroughly penetrates the meat, resulting in flavorful and tender dishes. Overall, I highly recommend this product for its functionality and the quality of its results.

This being from a popular chef on YT I thought hey lets give this one a try.In the box you get a nice fairly heavy container that has a molded silicon base, which is nice as it does not slide around on your counter while you pump out the air, as well as a plastic and silicone vacuum tool and a small instruction booklet.Now lets check it out, while it appears to be built well I encountered a problem even before use. The plastic although looks nice appears to be extremely brittle, so brittle that the lid was shattered in shipping. Thus the unit was unusable, but I was not just going to give up on the product itself, as it s seemed quite useful and I really wanted to see how well a kitchen tool like this could actually perform never having used anything like this before. (SEE Pics)So I reached out to the company and I can happily say the customer service was top notch and they offered to replace the unit without issue and I had another one in a few days on that note CS gets an A+. This goes a long way with me as it shows they stand behind the products they make and sell.Now that I have a unit I can use, lets get to testing how well or if it actually works. For this I decided to make my marinated ginger chicken dish, to see how well it would fair in comparison to the way I normally make it. After pumping around 15-17 times using the included vacuum tool I checked the lid and the container seemed to have a good seal. I then let the chicken marinate under vacuum in the fridge for around 2 hours or so.After the 2 hours I released the seal and then removed the chicken for cooking, and well I was impressed to say the least, the end result was not only a bit more flavorful but also incredibly tender which is more then I expected from this process. So based on the dish I made with this I am a believer that it really does work. However I do not know the longevity of this product and feel the plastic used in its design needs to be upgraded to a much more durable alternative considering I see others here also had broken lids, with this being the case I feel you must be extra careful with this so as not to break it.I think if what I mention here is improved to make this a more rugged kitchen tool then this device can be quite useful in cutting down marinating time as well as making your meats a bit more tender.Can I recommend it yes, for the fact it works quite well, but unfortunately this iteration seems quite fragile, so just keep that in mind when possibly ordering it.

Nice for a little while, feels heavy duty like it was built to last. But as of today (3/25) the lid decided it had enough. Was using the pump as instructed when the pressure snapped the lid almost in half.

Great product and handy to have . My old one broke n it was time to get a new one . So far im very pleased.
