 Not bad, but unnecessary
Some people are looking for a miracle and believe me, this is not it. It does help with marinating, but only up to a point. First of all, you have to plan what you have to marinate because fitting things in it can be tricky. Part of the vacuum device sticks deep down into the center. Second of all, you still need hours to marinate just about anything otherwise, you might as well not bother. However, food marinated in it does tend to have a more intense flavor if left long enough. Basically, you should plan ahead and put it in a ziploc bag and save yourself some money or buy this if you just like to have a lot of gadgets.
I have had mine for almost 8 years now and it has been through the dishwasher many times and it still works just fine.
 It Stinks--Don't purchase
Purchased this item and tried it out. It worked pretty good the first few times and then stopped working--suction died--top collapsed--another aggrevating piece of garbage, Please stay away and don't be dupped. All I can say is "WHAT A WASTE OF MY TIME AND MONEY"---DON'T BUY
 This thing will implode!
I really liked the Vacu Vin. I used it a lot and found that if you pierced the meat with a fork before you added the marinade and pulled the vacuum that it worked great. Then one night I was marinating chicken in Italian dressing. I pulled the vacuum and then boom! I (and the kitchen) were covered with chicken and Italian dressing. Took a hour to clean up the mess. I think I probably pumped it too much and pulled too much of a vacuum. The instructions should really warn customers about this. I'd like to purchase another but I'm a bit shelled shocked at the moment.
(I don't think the cat will ever return to the kitchen if he sees another one!)
Vacu-vin problems
Great idea, but it really doesn't matter since we can't get the vacuum to release so we can cook the steaks before our 5 guests get here. The instructions don't tell you what to do in case this happens, so our meat is marinated, the grill is hot, but we have no meat available to grill!
Very frustrating! Reg G.
Well, it WAS great...
...until it broke. It cracked under it's own pressure. My husband really liked this and it worked well for last minute marinating (not that it can replace hours of marinating), until he was pumping it one day and it wouldn't seal - then we realized the lid had cracked. Am I the only one this has happened to?
