5-15P
This unit comes with a NEMA 5-15P plug.
ETL, US & Canada
This product has been certified by ETL, a division of the Intertek Group, to meet applicable electrical product safety standards required for use in the United States and Canada.
Reliable, Intuitive Performance
A built-in cooling fan regulates internal temperatures to prevent overheating during extended use. The intuitive control panel allows you to easily adjust the machine's pressure levels between three settings (low, medium, and high) and accommodate more delicate foods. You can adjust the machine's seal time between 0-6 seconds as well, which is useful for creating appropriate seals depending on how full your bags are. If your bags are filled at capacity, you'll want a longer seal time to create a solid seal, but smaller loads will require only a couple seconds.
Simple Manual Sealing
The unit has the ability to pulse vacuum to get your bag manually vacuumed to just the right amount. Its manual seal button allows you to seal any time in the process for complete control over your packaging process. The Ultima series takes it a step further and has the start and seal functions built right into the handle to make using these units as easy and convenient as possible.
Sleek Design with Minimal Maintenance
Instead of having to regularly perform maintenance checks and oil changes, the dry pump eliminates the need for oil and is set to deliver long-lasting results. The unit's durable, all-stainless steel construction along with the gray and black trim looks sleek on the countertop and will withstand the rigors of commercial kitchen environments while remaining easy to clean
Bags Included
This model includes (1) 11 1/2" x 50' package roll and (6) 8" x 12" bags so you can start vacuum sealing right away.
Attachable Hose
An attachable hose is also included, allowing the unit to be used for marinating food and preparing sous vide.

Frequently Asked Questions From Customers
Can this machine be used for retort or Mylar® packaging?
These vacuum packaging machines are not recommended for use with retort or Mylar® packaging; instead, we suggest choosing from our wide selection of vacuum packaging bags for best results! Retort and Mylar® packaging requires special plastic and foil laminated pouches to seal food safely.
How do high altitudes affect the vacuum sealing process?
A vacuum sealer’s performance varies with respect to location. At higher altitudes, where air pressure is less dense, vacuum sealers are unable to remove as much air from the sealing process. High-pressure conditions are an important factor in the proper functioning of the sealer’s compressor, and without enough pressure, you may notice a weaker vacuum.
How do I determine if a vacuum machine bag will work on my machine?
If you have a chamber-type machine: Buy a chamber-type bag (mesh-less design). The open end of the vacuum bag must be the same size or shorter than the seal bar on your machine, and the bag must also fit inside your machine’s chamber.
If you have an external-type machine: You must buy an external-type, or "out of chamber" bag (mesh design). The open end of the vacuum bag must be the same size or shorter than the seal bar on your machine.
All of our vacuum machine bags list how large the open end is, and whether you can use them with external or chamber machines, in the content.

I agree with the previous review about one being completely on their own. This machine is the most frustrating device we've ever had in our business. It appears well built and has mostly held up (we've had our for over a year) but some of the features (like pulse vacuum) have stopped working. What make this machine frustrating is when you first start using it, it seals each bag flawlessly, maybe 20-30 bags in a row. Then the failures start. The vacuum doesn't remove any air, stop the cycle, flip the bag over, it works. Next bag, no vacuum, flip the bag over, no vacuum, ditch the bag and get a new bag, it works. That repeats itself throughout every attempt the rest of your session on the machine. We are not rookies on this machine as we have sealed thousands of bags over the last year, but also discarded Read More

This product allows a wide range of portioning options. Remember this is commercial equipment. If the user has limited experience with vacuum systems the performance of this equipment may seem to be inadequate. However, this product is very versatile.

The vacuum sealer has terrible instructions and the accessories are not stocked with Webstaurant store. If you know what you are doing then by all means purchase it. If you've never used one before then avoid. There is also no additional information on line for support. You are completely on your own.

This is a very nice unit. The pulse vac option is worth the price. I wish they all had this feature. I will buy this again.

Quiet and easy to use. I do like how quickly it seals the bag shut. However I do not like the fact there is no lock bar when sealing. You have to hold the handle down until the suction takes over. Not sure I agree with the "seal timing" indicator. Not sure what the read out is, but it jumps all over the place. Seems useless.

My first unit failed out of the box. Webstaurantstore replaced the unit with little hassle. I've had the 2nd unit for 15 months and it failed. It simply doesn't work.
