Lava V.100 Premium X in the RUTE & ROLLE Reader Test

Quality proves itself in everyday use – that is exactly why the V.100 Premium X vacuum sealer took part in a multi-week reader test conducted by RUTE & ROLLE magazine. Five selected testers put the device through its paces in real-life use, vacuum sealing fish, meat and other foods. The result: consistently very positive feedback and an overall score of 1.2.
How was the vacuum sealer tested in the RUTE & ROLLE reader test?
As part of the reader campaign, the testers were given the Lava V.100 Premium X for unrestricted use over several weeks. The main focus was on applications related to preserving freshly caught fish:
- Drying and sealing the catch
- Hygienic packaging before freezing
- Reliable seals even with frequent use
After completing the test, the participants evaluated the device using a detailed questionnaire – covering everything from build quality and ease of use to vacuum performance.
Testers agree: premium quality you can feel
Many participants were impressed from the very first impression. Particular praise was given to the timeless design, high-quality workmanship and the clear distinction from lower-priced devices.
“In my opinion, the build quality is excellent and cannot be compared to a device from the lower price segment.”
— Benjamin Renken, tester
Double sealing & powerful suction impress in real-world vacuum sealer testing
One of the key evaluation criteria was the quality of the sealing seams – especially when working with moist foods such as fish. The V.100 Premium X stood out with its continuous double sealing seam, ensuring maximum airtightness.
The suction power also received top marks. With a pump capacity of 35 liters per minute and a maximum vacuum of −0.94 bar, the device operates powerfully and reliably.
“The double sealing seams hold extremely well and ensure optimal airtightness.”
— Christian Erdmann, tester
How easy is the V.100 Premium X to use in everyday life?
In short: very easy – and perfectly suitable even for beginners. The testers praised the clearly arranged controls, which can be used intuitively without lengthy familiarization. Particularly practical features include:
- Bar display for monitoring the vacuum level
- Securely closing lid with magnetic locks
- 34 cm weld strip length for standard commercial bags

A device for many years – the testers conclusion
Particularly noteworthy: several testers emphasized that the purchase price is justified by the quality, durability and reliability of the device.
“I am convinced that, with proper use, you will enjoy the Lava device for many years.”
— Benjamin Renken, tester
This is exactly where Lava’s philosophy becomes clear: not a disposable product, but a vacuum sealer for those who value consistently clean results and a sustainable investment.
“After an extensive long-term test with fish, meat, and vegetables, I can only say: I’m thoroughly impressed. This is truly the best vacuum sealer I’ve ever used!”
— Timo Wefer, tester
