Every once in a while a product comes along that intrigues me and finds its way into my home for a review. This food storage system, the Vacuvita® One Touch Storage System, is one that I knew you all would love as much as I do because after all of the meal prepping that we do, who wants to waste food?
Vacuvita sent me a unit to review and test in exchange for me sharing my honest thoughts about it in this review.
What is Vacuvita?
Vacuvita is a food storing, marinade infusing, sous vide prepping machine. It’s a vacuum storage for the modern age! There are colors, sizes, and organizational elements that make this system great for the home chef.
Many people don’t know that air is actually the main culprit when it comes to spoiled food. A system like Vacuvita is excellent at storing and saving leftovers and meal prepped items. Not only does it organize and beautifully store your favorite foods, it can also help keep them fresh.
Why is Vacuvita Great?
The Vacuvita Food Storage System is a money saving investment! You can keep fresh foods and leftovers tasting great for up to 5x longer with Vacuvita. By removing all the air from the containers and packaging there is less chance for food spoiling bacteria to grow!
The average family wastes about $1300 worth of food every year because it spoils before it gets eaten. If you could make your fresh produce, leftovers, and meal preps last five times longer would that help you throw less away?!
Vacuvita is also great because it comes in some fun colors and designs. The system itself is beautiful. It’s not a eyesore like some food storage systems. There are five gorgeous colors to choose from so you can match them with your current style, kitchen needs, or decor.
Containers, Bags, & Sizes
Like some other food storage vacuums, Vacuvita can vacuum seal plastic bags. This means you can use it to prep foods for sous vide cooking! You’ll be wowing your friends and family members with some of the tastiest meals ever!
What’s different about Vacuvita is that it also vacuum seals containers. They come in matching (or complementary) colors and in three different sizes. You can order them in 1 quart, 2 quart, and 1 gallon sizes. This allows you to do so much more with your Vacuvita.
Storing fresh produce is easy, quick, and possible! With other systems the produce would be crushed, now you can seal it inside one of the beautiful Vacuvita containers and keep it fresh until you are ready to cook it into your next masterpiece.
What Else Can Vacuvita Do?
The Vacuvita system comes with an optional mobile app. You can download the app and scan the QR codes that come with your containers and bags to track when you store foods, what is inside, and more. The app will actually help you figure out how long you can safely keep items inside and alert you before they go bad. Talk about helpful!
Marinading like a master chef is simple and fast thanks to the Vacuvita containers. You can seal up your meat in the marinade and the vacuum seal will help infuse the flavors, lightening fast, into your meats. Now your grilling skills will be undeniable, start practicing now for all those backyard BBQ’s this summer!

Tips for using your Vacuvita One Touch Storage System
- When storing bread products in your Home Base container, leave it wrapped in paper or plastic.
- Do not store both dry and moist foods in Home Base at the same time, because the moisture will transfer from one product to the other.
- Wash, clean and dry fresh fruits and vegetables before vacuum sealing in bags. The drying is a really important part.
- Never store bananas or soft cheese in vacuum.

Interested to try this especially for fruits and veggies. Hate when they go bad before used

This looks awesome. I’ve been looking at getting a food vacuum systen!
I just cleaned my freezer and threw away a ton of meat, and each week I toss out several uneaten vegetables 🤫 I could save a bunch of time and money.
This looks really amazing! We’ve been to 2 friends’ houses lately who’ve prepared meals with the sous vide method, which I thought must be for the gourmet chef. But to be able to keep food fresh longer is wonderful. And a necessity! This os really cool! I can’t believe there’s an app to help you track food, too! I’d use it to pre-make healthy dinners – keeping myself Fixed!
I like that the containers are not round ….so much more space efficient to store food in square containers, and since I have a large family and do a lot of food prep on the weekends I appreciate that adding additional containers is reasonably priced even compared to basic storage sets. Love the multi purpose counter base that stores dry goods while vacuum sealing your other containers and love that the bags work well with Sous vide cooking.
I’m definitely adding this Sytem to my wish list!
So I can learn what sous vide cooking is! 😊
Really to store and use foods that will help me in my quest for weight loss to a healthier me!
This looks like just what I need to help with preserving foods longer. I am still buying for 4, although there is only me now. So I end up throwing food out–and it seems to get lost in the freezer when I buy a sale item, then throwing it away cuz it is too old!!! I could be paying off my credit cards instead of tossing food–the app tracker would be my best friend!!!!!!
Thanks!
I would use it to safely store foods that I buy in bulk

Wow, I need something like this because I am the only one on the FIX in my house and my fresh stuff tries to get old too fast!!
I would love to try it for fruits especially in the summer and would also love to try it for marinating meat! That is such a neat idea!

I would love this to keep all my food prep food fresh longer. And try it out for marinating meats.
What a neat product! I would definitely use this for fresh produce – we buy so much! And using it for marinades would be amazing.
