How to choose the best vacuum sealers in Australia
1Decide between a bench machine and a handheld first. The five bench machines here seal food in bags. The FoodSaver handheld is listed for use with FoodSaver containers, vacuum zip bags and wine bottle stoppers, and its listing says it manages 100 seals per charge.
2Check the moist setting if you seal meat. MegaWise describes its Moist mode as the one for meat, seafood and marinated ingredients, and INKBIRD describes its Moist mode as the one for seasoned meat. The Russell Hobbs has a food type selection for dry or moist food, and the HiCOZY lists Dry and Moist among its modes.
3A built-in cutter lets you cut a bag to length without scissors. The INKBIRD, MegaWise and HiCOZY listings each include one, and the FoodSaver VS7850 is described as having a cutter in its lid and on-board roll storage.
4Compare suction only between listings that state it. The INKBIRD is listed at 85 kPa, the MegaWise at 80 kPa and the HiCOZY at 60 kPa. The features and specifications we read for the Russell Hobbs and the two FoodSaver products give no suction figure.
5Check what is in the box. The Russell Hobbs comes with 2 rolls of 28 cm x 3 m, the MegaWise and the HiCOZY with 10 bags each, and the INKBIRD with 5 bags and a roll.
Editor's note
The listings disagree about which numbers matter. INKBIRD, MegaWise and HiCOZY state a suction figure: 85 kPa, 80 kPa and 60 kPa. Russell Hobbs and FoodSaver describe what the machine does instead. Every bench machine here is described as handling both dry and moist food, a pulse setting is listed on the INKBIRD, MegaWise and HiCOZY, and a marinate function on the FoodSaver VS7850. Listings were read on 13 October 2026 and can change.
Frequently asked questions
Can you vacuum seal moist food and liquids?
Moist food, yes, on every bench machine in this guide: each is listed with a moist setting or as suitable for dry or moist food. For liquids, the INKBIRD includes an air suction hose that its listing says is for wine or soup, and the HiCOZY has a removable drip tray that its listing says collects liquids.
Do vacuum sealers come with bags?
The ones here do. The Russell Hobbs RHVS1 includes 2 rolls of 28 cm x 3 m, the FoodSaver VS7850 a BPA-free roll, the INKBIRD 5 bags and a roll, and the MegaWise and the HiCOZY 10 bags each. The FoodSaver handheld comes with 1 container and vacuum zip bags: its title says 5, its description says 10.
Which vacuum sealer is best for sous vide?
Russell Hobbs describes the RHVS1 as sous vide compatible, and MegaWise lists sous vide among the uses for its VS6611.
Is a handheld vacuum sealer enough?
For the fridge and the pantry it can be. The FoodSaver handheld in this guide is listed for FoodSaver containers, vacuum zip bags and wine bottle stoppers, and manages 100 seals per charge. The five bench machines here seal food in bags, and the INKBIRD, MegaWise, HiCOZY and FoodSaver VS7850 listings also mention a hose or canister mode for jars or containers.
