I'm shocked if you haven't heard of the Temu website, which is an e-commence platform. In simple terms, it's a place where you can get deeply discounted goods directly from China for a small fraction of the original retail price. Putting their own unique spin on websites such as AliExpress and Alibaba, Temu has proven to be among the best traders ever since social media marketing's effectiveness was realized. You can discover anything on this amazing website, from toys to tech to fashion and home décor. Temu is truly a location for each and every one of these hard-to-find, unique products. 

In order to determine whether their items are up to par with what you would buy on the high street, we made the decision to buy a test item. The compact heat sealer was the product that drew our attention and was widely advertised in several stores throughout Temu. We hadn't previously experienced a product such as this one, so we had absolutely no idea how it functioned heading into the encounter.

OUR EXPERIENCE

If you're a parent and your little child has the tendency to open a bag of crisps and say, "No, I don't want that," you may find yourself having to throw away several bags because they went stale. Imagine if a product offered the ability to seal the bag again, preserving the freshness within. We have located it at an absurdly low price of just £1.19. With Temu, you must place an order of £10 before a dispatch can be made. We assembled our basket with an Epilator, Burger Mold, ice cream scoop, picnic bag, and a phone charger (reviews coming soon). I know, all of this for just over £10 seems too good to be true, so we were certain these products must be awful. The delivery of the bag of goodies took around 10 days, which, to be fair for the free shipping included deal, we were willing to wait. When the package arrived, it was poorly packaged and resembled a garbage bag with a lot of sellotape all over it to hold the contents inside. The compact sealer, which we carefully inspected, came with very little packaging—just a picture and what appeared to be Chinese characters explaining how to use it—which presented a challenge. Nevertheless, items similar to this are easy to find on YouTube, along with usage instructions. In this case, the directions were

1) Unclip the safety nosel.

2) Firmly press the end of the sealer onto the iron belt and hold for around 30 seconds to heat.

3) Use the sealer on the item you desire to seal. 

Its that simple.

Therefore, by following this procedure, we were able to repackage a cheese block, a bag of crisps, and a wrapper for a chocolate bar. We were rather happy with the outcome because the sealer performed just as intended. It was a strong enough mold to keep your food fresh and even simple to unwrap when you decide to eat again. Over a period of three months, the iron coil is starting to wear down due to its delicate nature, and the plastic design appears inexpensive and brittle. We can definitely see the need for this device, which ought to be seen in a lot of kitchen drawers in homes. There are other varieties of heat sealers available; however, to access the particular one we reviewed, simply click on the photo below.

SILVER RATING

ALL IN ALL

In summery the product does exactly what its intended to do at a remarkable price. Don't shy away from Temu just because its International because they offer some really unique products. Yes, you will wait longer for delivery but its not the end of the world. We would buy the compact heat sealer over and over again. Its a brilliant buy for parents with young children.
