Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro vs Mueller Vacuum Sealer MV-1100 Side-by-Side Comparison
The Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro will make for a compelling purchase if you have a roomy budget and expect the best out of your sealer. On the other hand, for those with basic needs, the Mueller MV-1100 will work just fine.

Tested Using Methodology v1.0Mueller Vacuum Sealer MV-1100
Tested Using Methodology v1.0Overall Verdict
The Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro stands out with its excellent performance in both the dry and moist food sealing tests. All this power is packed in an elegant-looking, sleek design that reflects its premium price point. Its usability is further enhanced by features like a bag compartment and cutter.
On the other hand, the Mueller — being an affordable, entry-level sealer — offers less sealing performance (it gained a total performance score of just 5.9 compared to the Anova’s 8.4.) The build quality is only passable, our reviewers noted a few problems with fits-and-finishes like the creaky lid and uneven lid locks.
