Vac100 & Vac110 Comparison | JVR Industries' Chamber Vacuum Sealers

[@genuwinestatuz]

Been checking out reviews and this video has been a huge help. Time to order my vacuum sealer!

[@JVRIndustriesInc]

Glad to be of service!

Both units should be made to do external vacuuming abilities.

Great suggestion. We designed these with different customers in mind. Typically customers with high volume with little variation will go to the Vac110. Sometimes lower volume users who want to package larger cuts of meats want the JVR Vac110 for briskets, tomahawks and more. Usually we advise our customers with lower volumes to cut down their meat and use the Vac100. Hope this information was helpful in your decision making. That would create the opportunity to use the Vac100 and its capabilities. If you are concerned about length of vacuum cycle, simply use the skip function, presets (programmability) and filler plates to combat loss of speed. These three factors alone can get you up to Vac110 speeds IF you are doing intermittent packaging with various products. The Vac110 is designed for higher volume and less changeovers in mind. If you are doing 10-20 of the same package, of course that unit is going to afford you faster times for that type of job. If you are doing a decent amount of different products, then the Vac100 will be the winner. Hope this info was helpful. Let us know if you have any other questions.

I own the 100 model. works awesome. very quiet. Only wish it had the large lcd screen. I have to break out my readers to see it. I only use mine once in a while but last time I vacuumed a ton of hamburger and Im just now getting to the end and most are over a year old and still no freezer burn . All have held a vacuum.

Love hearing this feedback! Thanks for your honest review. We love our unit as well. Good to hear the unit is performing as good as day one! Feel free to leave a review on our Google, if you can spare a moment for us: g.page/r/CTgzuKq_ExTGEBM/review

I want the JVR Vac110 with external vacuuming ability. That would make the machine perfect. Instead, I'm stuck with a JVR Vac100 with half the pumping power, less internal chamber height, no analog gauge, and composite material. For only $100 less? Is there no way to make the JVR Vac110 work with the external accessories? Can the current unit be modified or is that a future upgrade?

[@JVRIndustriesInc]

All great concerns and thoughts. Sounds like you like the Vac100, but do not like some of the specifications on it. Let us address these concerns below: Vac100 Vacuum Pump: Yes, this has half the flow rate, but in some instances, this machine can easily outpace the Vac110. For example, ground beef, venison, elk, and bison can be packaged into 6x10 VacPouch at 1 lb increments. You can seal two of these pouches simultaneously on the Vac100. You can max out the filler plates cutting back vacuum cycle time to roughly 20 seconds per pouch. On the JVR Vac110, you are stuck sealing 1 lb at a time unless you add more to a single pouch. Most households package a lb at a time. With the Vac110, you would be packaging a lb at around 30 seconds. The same is true for 4-5 oz salmon fillets, crappie, trout etc. So in some instances, the Vac100's smaller pump can outpace the Vac110. So smaller does not mean weaker. Just different applications. Vac100 Chamber Depth: For some this is discouraging which is understandable. In some instances, the Vac100 is able to seal off larger items. For example mason jars. Using the external functionality, you are able to seal up to two half gallon mason jars simultaneously! Not even our JVR Vac410 can seal this large of a mason jar!!!! So yes, the depth of the chamber is .9" smaller, but it can achieve some larger items via the 3 GAL chamber accessory. Also we have been able to fit up to a 5.5 lbs whole chicken (thawed) inside the the Vac100. That is quite large. If you have anything larger, you may be packaging this item infrequently. In those instances, consider cutting down the meat that you infrequently package? Vac100 Composite Chamber: These chambers have been shown to last for years without issue! We have had no quality issues! We have been in business for 50+ years and specialize in vacuum packaging. Consider this: We have seen stainless steel bend from the draw of the vacuum on some of these machines! Wow! So steel is not considered entirely indestructible against vacuum draw. We truly believe the materials used on the Vac100 are quite durable even against the Vac110. If we thought otherwise, we would not be selling these units. These are general thoughts regarding the differences between the two units. Maybe consider calling us at the office during hours? [phone]. Talking to one of our specialists will likely provide more thought behind what unit is best suited for your needs! Lastly, to answer your question about Vac110 updates: We have and are considering upgrading or altering the Vac110, BUT accessory capability is not on the list of alterations/upgrades. These are merely tentative plans and are subject to change. We have had a customer who altered the Vac110 to accept the accessory hose. Thanks for considering our products and we hope to discuss with our further on Monday! Happy new years!

​@@JVRIndustriesInc Thank you for addressing my concerns on the differences between the Vac100 and Vac110. Customer service alone has sold me on JVR. Based on your information, I bought the JVR Vac100 this weekend and it shipped today. Can't wait to try it out!!!

[@JVRIndustriesInc]

@@grimsinner555 Talk about great timing on the order! You got one of the last couple units available in house. Enjoy!!!

The vac 110’s suction port looks like it would accept accessories. The holes are on the flat surface of the part. Is that not the case? I’m curious how another customer modified the 110 to accept accessories. Could you explain? Also, if there aren’t plans to add accessory port to the 110 is there plans to beef up the 100?

[@JVRIndustriesInc]

Good afternoon, The Vac110's vacuum port has a different outside diameter than the Vac100's. The difference in diameter makes the accessory hose only compatible with the JVR Vac100. We had a customer use a sink plug and carve out the center portion to act as a gasket for the port. The customer swore they had good success with this. You will have to see what we do next. 😉

[@Chessboard4]

Does the 110 pump pull more air out than the 100? Or is the same amount of air pulled out in both units? I’m trying to understand if the bigger pump from the 110 is helpful with more than just speed?

[@JVRIndustriesInc]

The vacuum pump in the Vac100 and Vac110 both pull the same amount of oxygen. One just pulls it faster than the other by an average of 10 seconds. If you are doing 20 packages at a time, you would only be saving like 3 minutes. If you are doing bulk packaging, then it would be more favorable.

With one for hole cooked brisket

[@JVRIndustriesInc]

Depends on the brisket size entirely. We would typically suggest anything from a JVR Vac110 to a JVR Vac310. Here is a comparison video on those two units. Hope this helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5irc4iElLatnMk

11:27 Whoa, hold the phone.... So I should be using the retort bar for mylar pouches, not just retort pouches?!

[@JVRIndustriesInc]

Yes, indeed. The retort bar assembly is for both mylar and retort pouches. Go to the Vac100 commerce page and download the recommended cycle times PDF near the add to cart button. (mic drop) 😄
