The vacuum sealer requires special vacuum film or bags with grooves on the inside to enable efficient air extraction. The film width can be up to 30 cm, suitable for the integrated roll compartment with cutting device. The scope of delivery already includes 10 film bags.
With the Rommelsbacher VAC 485 appliance, it is best to use special foils and bags with grooves on the inside. These are optimised for efficient air extraction and are recommended by Rommelsbacher to ensure that all components work together optimally. Commercially available vacuum bags without these special grooves may not work as effectively.
The delivery of the Rommelsbacher VAC 485 vacuum sealer includes a vacuum hose, but not a hose reel. However, a film roll, 10 film bags and the vacuum hose are included in the scope of delivery.
Yes, according to the supplier data, it is the VAC 485, which is supplied with a German connector. Unfortunately, the vacuum lid cannot be obtained from us.
The VAC 285 is the little brother of the VAC 485.
The pump of the 285 is weaker, it has a single weld seam and it does not have a built-in roller box along with a cutter and it only costs about CHF 20 less.
I would therefore recommend the VAC485.
It is easy to use, a little noisy, but a decent device for the price.
