What is the device for?

The B!POD device is a machine that creates a vacuum inside its containers through a very rapid process of about 30 seconds, eliminating up to 95% of oxygen, which is the main cause of food deterioration. This way, the food will stay as fresh as when bought or cooked.

Does the device have a safety system?

The device operates only in an upright position. If not positioned correctly, an animation appears on the screen suggesting to turn it until it assumes the correct position.

How is it made?

The device has a screen on the top side, allowing monitoring of battery status, vacuum process, selected power, and other useful information. In the center, it has a single button for turning on/off, selecting the power for starting the vacuum process, and activating the process. It has 2 colored circular feet: one is the suction chamber for vacuuming, and the other is for charging. the B!POD vacuum device is made with cutting-edge technologies that match the performance of professional machines but has a compact size, making it convenient for domestic use.

How to use it?

Simply place the device correctly on the container lid, with the suction chamber aligned with the valve, select the power, and activate the process by holding down the confirmation button for at least 1 second. For the first few seconds, apply slight pressure on the suction side to ensure proper adhesion to the valve.

What is the difference between the two powers?

The device allows selecting the strong vacuum mode and the medium vacuum mode. The strong vacuum mode is displayed on the screen with two "^" symbols while the other is displayed with a single "^" symbol.

For food:
50 MBAR - Strong vacuum
Ideal for foods requiring a more intense action (e.g. meat, fish, dairies).

150 MBAR - Medium vacuum
Better for frequently-opened foods (e.g. biscuits, cereals) and for more delicate foods (e.g. berries).

For wine:
50 MBAR - Strong vacuum
Ideal for high quality still wine with delicate organoleptic characteristics, aged wines, easily oxidizable ones, and longer periods of conservation.

150 MBAR - Medium vacuum
Suggested for wine with a daily consumption, for softer or less delicate wines and/or wines with a rich presence of tannins. Ideal for almost full bottles.

What does mbar means?

mbar is the abbreviation for millibar, the unit of pressure. 1 bar is the pressure of the external atmosphere and equals 1000 millibars. The B!POD device removes 95% of air particles, reaching 50 millibars of pressure.

Can containers be used in the microwave?

All containers can be used in the microwave having however care to remove the lid. Warning: it is important to remove the vacuum from the containers first.
