Silver Vacuum Sealer for Home Kitchens
The FoodSaver VS5166 is a countertop vacuum sealer designed for household food preservation. It operates at 120 volts with a 130-watt motor and delivers 95kPa suction pressure. The silver unit measures 15.7 by 7.8 by 4.7 inches and weighs 6.5 pounds. It suits cooks who want to extend the shelf life of dry and moist ingredients.
Upgrade from Basic Sealers with Pulse Control
This model replaces simpler single-seal machines that lack adjustable vacuum strength. The jump is worth it when you regularly seal delicate items like berries or moist foods like marinated meats. Pulse mode lets you control vacuum steps manually to prevent crushing or liquid pull. Dual heat strips create a more reliable seal than single-strip alternatives.
Limits of External Bag Vacuum Sealing
The machine uses external bags and rolls stored in the built-in compartment with an integrated cutter. It cannot vacuum-seal rigid containers unless you purchase the compatible container accessory separately. Liquids can be pulled into the pump chamber if bags are overfilled, though the removable drip tray catches overflow. Chamber-style sealers handle high-liquid volumes more effectively.

Questions about this item
How much counter space does the 15.7 x 7.8 inch footprint need?
The unit measures 15.7 inches long by 7.8 inches wide by 4.7 inches high and weighs 6.5 pounds, so allow a few extra inches around it for the lid to open and for bag roll access.
Does the Easy-Lock handle need a specific alignment to start the vacuum cycle?
Lower the lid and press the handle down until it clicks into the locked position; the motor will not start until the handle is fully engaged, which is the step most users miss on the first try.
Which parts will need replacing over time and what are the sizes?
The removable drip tray, foam gaskets, and built-in cutter blade are replaceable; rolls come in 11-inch by 20-foot and 8-inch by 20-foot sizes, and pre-cut bags are 10 by 11 inches.
