The PreserVac VacBuddy is an all-in-one home vacuum sealer for everyday food storage, meal prep and sous vide. It replaces the popular PXR-K1, stepping up to a 120W motor and adding a smudge-resistant metallic finish, progress LEDs and a soft-close metal locking handle – all in a compact footprint that lives happily on the kitchen bench.

Why we like it

  • Everything built in: roll storage and a cutter, so you can make bags to any length without extra tools.
  • More control than a one-button sealer: dry and moist modes plus a pulse function for bread, berries, cooked food and anything soft that would otherwise crush.
  • Removable drip tray for quick clean-up after meat and fish.
  • Accessory port for vacuum canisters, jars and bottle stoppers using the included hose.
  • Up to 100 back-to-back cycles (rated on 1-minute cycles) – plenty for a big weekly shop or a meal-prep Sunday.

Who it suits

Small households, families, meal preppers and sous vide beginners who want a reliable, tidy machine for regular use. If you seal wet food often, look at the LiquidVac; for long, high-volume sessions, the VacBro is the better tool.

Getting a perfect seal every time

  • Use embossed (textured) bags or rolls – smooth chamber pouches won't evacuate on an external sealer.
  • Keep the seal area of the bag clean and dry.
  • Chill or part-freeze very wet food before sealing.
  • Use heavy-duty bags for bony cuts and long freezer storage.

FAQs

How is the VacBuddy different from the PXR-K1?

It's the K1's replacement: more power (120W vs 110W), a smudge-resistant metallic finish, progress LEDs and a soft-close metal locking handle.

Can it seal moist food?

Yes – use moist mode for fresh meat, fish and cooked portions. For sauces, soups or loose marinades, a chamber vacuum sealer or the LiquidVac is the better choice.

Is it good for sous vide?

Yes. Pair it with quality textured bags, don't overfill, and check the seal before the bag goes in the water bath.
