A: No, the PKVS18BK does not have an internal roll storage compartment. While it includes an extra-long vacuum bag roll, the roll is intended to be stored separately and cut to size as needed before placing the bag into the sealer. The unit also does not include a built-in bag holder or bag cutter.
So, the roll does not fit inside the machine for storage; it is used externally.

Q: Can I use Umai dry aging bags with this vacuum sealer?
submitted by Levi - 3 months ago
A: Yes, the PKVS18BK should be compatible with UMAi Dry aging bags since it is a channel-style vacuum sealer. However, UMAi Dry bags typically require the use of their VacMouse® adapter strips and specific sealing techniques because the bags are designed to be breathable rather than traditional vacuum bags.
For the best results, we recommend following UMAi Dry's instructions for your bags and performing a test seal before starting the aging process.

You get what you pay for. Would not purchase again. Tried to seal “moist” would not vacuum & seal. I missed the return window. Invest your money in a Food Saver brand.

Received a used machine
I was excited to receive this item, but disappointed once I looked at it. The one I received appears to have been returned by someone else. It was obviously used (the inside of the machine was dirty) and returned. Taking this one back to the store and will most likely look for a different brand.

Great Food Storage Solution
This really does keep my food fresh for a lot longer. I already use the bags that came with so I will have to order more since it didn't come with a lot. That is the only down side but I have no complaints.

Perfect Wedding Shower Gift for Easy Meals
We gave this as a wedding shower gift and the couple has already texted that they can't wait to use it. My mom uses it to make meals ahead of time and take camping to do a very simple reheat!

Bulk Food Storage Convenience
This is the third one I've purchased. One for our daughter, one for our house, and one for our vacation home. It's so wonderful to be able to buy in bulk (saving money) and have plenty of food on hand without running to the store all the time. It allows me to bake large batches and freeze some for later. It saves me time and money and I recommend this model to everyone.

Reliable NutriChef Vacuum Sealer
This is my second NutriChef. I purchased my first one 9 years ago. The sealer is so easy to use and quite quiet in operation. Vacuum sealing has extended the shelf life of my perishables and saves me countless monies on groceries over the years. Having a dependable vacuum sealer is a must for any kitchen. Thanks NutriChef, you're invaluable.

Quiet Vacuum Sealer with Dry and Moist Settings
Quiet and does the job. I like that it has both a dry and moist setting. Seals well but be sure it is completely closed (locked down) or it won't give a good seal.
