The Lidl Silvercrest vacuum sealer is interesting if you want to test vacuuming at a low price. The Lidl France sheet notably displays a Silvercrest vacuum sealer for €29.99, with 160W and functions Wet and Soft.
However, it remains an external discovery machine: practical for a few bags, less comfortable if you often wrap, freeze regularly or process moist foods.
What Lidl actually displays on its Silvercrest offers
The range may vary depending on arrivals, but the Lidl France pages visible today show several useful references for comparison:
- SILVERCREST® vacuum sealer : €29.99, 160W, Wet and Soft functions, product reference p100395926, IAN 485564.
- SILVERCREST® Vacuuming device : €19.99, 130W, Wet and Soft functions, reference p100396027, IAN 487863.
- SILVERCREST® Kitchen Tools White vacuum sealer : €29.99, 125W, Wet and Soft functions, reference p100380068001.
- Compatible Silvercrest Rollers : sets of 2 or 3 rolls at €5.99, and set of 5 rolls in 20 and 28 cm at €8.99 depending on the offer displayed.
Is the Lidl vacuum sealer a good buy?
Yes, if your need remains simple. To package a few dry portions, protect cheese, avoid a little waste or discover sous vide without a big budget, the Silvercrest offer is consistent.
The price is its real strong point. At €19.99 or €29.99 depending on the model displayed, Lidl ranks very low compared to better-equipped external machines. It is therefore a good trial purchase, not necessarily a machine to choose for intensive use.
What the specs really change: 125 to 160 W, Wet and Soft
The announced power of 125 to 160 W gives an indication of positioning: we are staying on a compact domestic device, not on a machine intended to chain together long series.
Functions Wet and Soft are useful: Wet helps with slightly damp foods, Soft limits suction on fragile products. But these modes do not transform an external discount machine into a bell machine. Liquids, marinades and sauces always require great caution.
- 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
Silvercrest or double sealing machine: the useful comparison
| Criterion | Silvercrest Lidl | Double solder alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Observed price | €19.99 to €29.99 depending on the reference displayed | More expensive, but designed for more regular use |
| Power displayed | 125, 130 or 160 W depending on model | Double pump up to -95 kPa on the recommended model |
| Functions | Wet and Soft on visible Lidl references | Suction mode + reinforced sealing, more reassuring in the freezer |
| Consumables | Silvercrest rolls available in packs, sometimes 20 and 28 cm | Embossed bags / standard rolls suitable for external machines |
| Ideal use | Discovery, small batches, rather dry foods | Regular freezing, batch cooking, meat, more frequent portions |
Verdict: Lidl earns on the entry price. A double seal machine benefits from closing security, especially if you store in the freezer or use the machine every week.
Limitations to anticipate before buying from Lidl
- Variable arrivals: Silvercrest references change, so price and power are not always the same.
- Limited Endurance: for several cycles in a row, a discount machine may require more breaks.
- Wet foods: Wet helps, but does not replace a chamber machine for liquids.
- Simple sealing: if the bag is poorly positioned, wrinkled or damp, the closure remains more sensitive.
If you already have a Silvercrest and the bags get air again, the article on frequent breakdowns of Lidl vacuum sealers will help you check for simple causes before replacing the device. For getting started, also consult the practical instructions for using a Silvercrest vacuum sealer.
When should you move upmarket?
Upgrade if you package meat every week, prepare freezer portions, work with slightly juicy foods, or want fewer sealing failures. In these cases, the savings made on the purchase can quickly disappear if the bags reopen or if you have to start again several times.
- Double pump up to -0.96 bar for a powerful vacuum that better protects food
- Pulse mode useful for dosing the suction on fragile products without crushing them
- Compact but sturdy 31 cm format, easy to take out often without sacrificing performance
Conclusion: the Lidl Silvercrest vacuum sealer is a good entry point if you want to test it out. For regular conservation, double sealing, more stable suction and better consumables quickly become more important than the €20 to €30 saved initially.
