Vac n seal central vacuum accessory

[centralsweeper63]

I have been lucky enough to end up with a vac n seal food storage system. I hear they are incredibly rare ( unless I am wrong). My example is new in box with all the original paperwork, including the dealer paperwork. It seems very well made as with all MD manufacturing products. I am considering building it in if my Nana builds a new house, although I think it might be a bad idea incase it gets damaged. The best part is that it was kindly given to me. The man from Kiwivac is very kind and generous.

I remember those! I've never seen one in real life and I also have not seen very much content of it online either.

They do seem really cool, but I can't imagine that they would have worked very well, unless used with a series dual motor vacuum unit. Vacuum sealers operate at a much higher vacuum level than vacuum cleaners, which means that they can remove much more air, and create a better sealed (and therefore better preserved) product. I imagine that could be part of why they didn't really become very popular, since FoodSavers did become popular, in addition to Ziplocs.

That being said, I think the idea of having a built in vacuum sealing system would be so cool and convenient.

Yes, we at MD produced this for a very short period of years. It was a great idea but unfortunately the plastic bags simply would not hold the suction once they were sealed. With too many calls to our customer service department, we eventually discontinued this product.... but I too thought it was quite cool! The product truly worked like it was supposed to work.... just did not have a reasonable financial return. I do not know of any additional parts or samples thus I do not recommend installing it.
