Vevor VS5164 Vacuum Sealer Review
Our verdict
The Vevor VS5164 is a metal-construction vacuum sealer at $79.99 that draws 130 watts and weighs 7.1 lb, setting it apart from the plastic-body majority in the under-$80 segment. The 251-review base at 4.2 stars is functional but limited, so buyers who want a larger evidence pool before committing should weigh that carefully.

251 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other vacuum sealers, built-in and countertop dishwashers, food slicers, meat and grain grinders, spice mills and kitchen prep appliances we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The VS5164 is unusual in the sub-$80 price tier because its housing is described as metal rather than ABS plastic. At 7.1 lb it is notably heavier than most consumer strip sealers at this price, which reflects the denser construction. The 130-watt power rating puts it near the upper end of what external strip sealers commonly offer.
Veror offers a wide range of kitchen and workshop tools, and the VS5164 fits into their pattern of competitive-spec equipment at value pricing. The silver metal finish gives it a more substantial appearance than the lightweight plastic sealers that dominate the under-$80 category.
The 251-review count at 4.2 stars is the main uncertainty here. A 4.2 average is respectable, but 251 reviews is a thin sample compared to models like the Megawise VS6621 (13,300 reviews) or the Nesco VS-12 (14,800 reviews). Buyers who want a large proven track record will find more reassurance elsewhere at similar prices.
Pros
- Metal construction is uncommon and more durable than ABS plastic at this price
- 130W power is toward the higher end for consumer strip sealers
- 7.1 lb weight keeps the unit stable on the counter during sealing
- $79.99 price delivers metal build at a price usually associated with plastic
Cons
- Only 251 reviews, giving limited data on long-term performance
- 4.2-star average is below the top performers in this price bracket
- No dimensions, seal bar width, or voltage spec listed
- Vevor has a less specialized focus on vacuum sealers compared to dedicated brands
Performance notes
The VS5164 draws 130 watts and is built with metal construction. At 7.1 lb it is heavier than most consumer strip sealers, which typically range from 1 to 5 lb. No dimensions or seal bar width data are available, which limits the ability to assess bag compatibility. No voltage figure is listed, though US household standard (120V) is the practical assumption for retail appliances at this price.
What buyers say
With 251 reviews at a 4.2-star average, early buyer sentiment is modestly positive. The sample is not large enough to provide confidence about durability over time or edge-case performance. The 4.2 average indicates the product works for most buyers who purchased it, but prospective buyers who want strong evidence from a large pool should look at options with 1,000-plus reviews.

Frequently asked questions
What does metal construction mean for the Vevor VS5164 compared to plastic sealers?
A metal housing is generally more resistant to cracking, warping, and surface wear than ABS plastic, particularly when the unit heats up during repeated sealing cycles. It also typically adds weight, which contributes to the 7.1 lb figure and helps keep the machine steady during use. The core sealing mechanism, including the bar and gaskets, functions the same regardless of housing material.
How does the VS5164 compare to the Nesco VS-12 at a similar price?
The Nesco VS-12 costs $133.99 and carries over 14,000 reviews at a 4.4-star average, making it one of the best-validated strip sealers in the market. The VS5164 at $79.99 offers metal construction versus the Nesco's plastic body, but with far fewer reviews to back it up. If volume of buyer feedback matters most, the Nesco is the clearer pick. If metal construction at lower cost is the priority, the Vevor makes sense to consider.
Is the VS5164 suitable for regular weekly sealing?
The 130-watt motor and metal build suggest the VS5164 is capable of moderate regular use beyond occasional light sealing. However, no duty cycle or cool-down specification is published, so there is no official guidance on how many consecutive seals it handles before needing a rest. For heavy batch sealing, a chamber sealer with explicit duty-cycle ratings would be a safer long-term investment.
