"Has anyone bought this vacuum food sealer? It’s a lot cheaper than anything else I’ve looked at, so I’m a little worried it won’t last," they said.

Aldi fans flocked to the comments to share their own experiences of buying the product, with some saying it had lasted them "years".

"I take mine in the caravan. It’s so good. Had it for years and you can use other bags, just take your dimensions with you shopping," one person shared.

"I think we bought our one 4-5 years ago," another person said. "We use it to bag whole beasts and lambs and has never missed a beat."

"Mine has lasted years and still works perfectly," another said. "I always stock up on the pre-cut bags as I find them better to use than the rolls."

"I’ve had mine for years and I love it. I purchased it originally thinking even if it lasts 2-3 years it will be worth it as others are sooo expensive," another fan shared.
