Avid Armor USV32 vs Avid Armor USVX

When you compare the Avid Armor USV32 and Avid Armor USVX, you’re looking at two top-tier vacuum sealers that share a lot in common. Both models are chamber vacuum sealers, designed to handle every kind of ingredients including liquid items with no problem. Both vacuum sealers are very easy to use with their one-touch ‘Auto Vac & Seal’ function.

They support continuous vacuum sealing, removing the need for cooldown periods. Plus, they both have a double-seal feature to ensure maximum sealing strength. With a double seal the contents stay fresh and protected for longer by reducing the risk of air leaks.
These are dry-pump maintenance-free vacuum sealers so you don’t need periodic oil changes, making them user-friendly and cost-efficient in the long run. That said, there are some key differences to keep in mind.

The USV32 doesn’t have an accessory port for sealing containers — a feature we like to see on every model — that the USVX (comes with an accessory hose) model has.
Note: Never versions of USV32 now coming with an accessory hose adaptor to vacuum seal external jars and canisters.

The chamber dimensions also differ, the USV32 has a slightly larger chamber (12 x 11.5 x 3.5 in.) with a seal bar length of 11.5″, compared to the USVX (10.5 x 10.5 x 3.5 in.) with a 10″ seal bar. For the pouch sizes, the USV32 can accommodate vacuum seal bags that are up to 11 inches wide and 13 inches long, while the USVX can handle bags that are up to 10 inches wide and 13 inches long.
