The Leclerc Elsay vacuum sealer is a good entry point if you want to test vacuuming without looking for a heavy device. The E.Leclerc sheet displays a model Elsay FR2008 of 110W, black, with bag-sealing function and a 28 cm roll provided.
However, it remains a simple external machine: relevant for a few bags, less suitable if you pack every week, freeze often or process moist foods.

Is the Elsay Leclerc a good buy?
Yes, if your need remains specific. To package a few dry portions, test vacuum freezing or use a 28 cm roller from time to time, the positioning is consistent.
On the other hand, the 110W, the absence of automatic shutdown and the unannounced availability of spare parts remind us that we remain on an entry-level device. This is not the model to choose if you want to chain bags or regularly secure wet preparations.
- Dual-pump system reaching -0.96 bar for a deep, consistent vacuum
- Extra-wide 5 mm seal for more reliable sealing when vacuum bags are wet or greasy
- 5 kg stainless steel chassis and Mode Pulse for stable, hygienic and precise operation
What 110 W changes in practice
A power of 110W is enough to discover vacuum sealing, but it requires more patience than a more robust machine. On bulky, wet or series products, suction and sealing become sensitive points.
- Dry foods: consistent use if the bag is well embossed and not too full.
- Regular freezing: watch out for micro-leaks if the solder is wet or wrinkled.
- Long series: it is better to plan breaks.
- Liquids and sauces: this type of external machine is not the right tool.
To choose the right consumable, also consult the guide embossed or smooth bags. And if your priority is freezing, the article vacuum sealer for freezing details the criteria to be prioritized.
Elsay 110 W or more robust machine: the useful comparison
| Criterion | Elsay Leclerc | Alternative Vacuum Sealer Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Positioning | Discovery, occasional use | More regular use |
| Power / suction | 110W | Double pump up to -95 kPa or -0.96 bar depending on model |
| Sealing | Single bag seal function | Double sealing possible on the recommended model |
| Roll | 28 cm supplied | Standard embossed formats according to need |
| Ideal profile | Slow pace test | Batch cooking, freezing, weekly use |
Verdict: Elsay defends to start. To avoid bags that trap air and gain comfort, double sealing becomes more reassuring.
- Double pump up to -0.96 bar for a powerful vacuum that better protects food from frost and oxidation
- Pulse mode useful for dosing the suction on fragile products without crushing them
- Compact 31 cm format but really sturdy, easy to take out often without sacrificing performance
