does any one own a Reveo food tumbler? and if so what are its good points and its bad?
have you ever use it to season the food and let it stand for a while?
how easy is it to use?
any problems using the vaccuume seal lid
has it lost it vaccume during the tumbling
any problems with the unit as in the vaccuume unit not working ... vaccume hard to keep
any problems with the food canister or its lid and valve
and problems with the main tumbler handling 5 lbs of food
thanks

Adds great flavor and moisture to meats and other foods. If you over tumble you can ruin the meat depending on how fragile it is.

I do whole chickens with broth and olive oil and let it sit on the counter for the 30 minutes while the smoker or grill warms up
how easy is it to use?
If you can push a button and read simple directions you have it made
any problems using the vaccuume seal lid
I've only heard of one person having a seal problem
has it lost it vaccume during the tumbling
Never has with me
any problems with the unit as in the vaccuume unit not working ... vaccume hard to keep
No problems. Very happy with it
any problems with the food canister or its lid and valve
Keep them clean and you won't have any problems, real easy clean up
and problems with the main tumbler handling 5 lbs of food
I do 5 pound chickens all the time. That is about the max though.

Have had great experience with my Reveo.
No vacuum or other problems. Good points are if you normally marinate all day, this can really speed things up. Bad point is if you are not careful, you can over marinate in my opinion.
I agree with everything that has been said by Ice & Arcs. Very simple and easy to use. I have never had a problem with mine.

An absolutely GREAT addition to the kitchen arsenal, Beefman. We've tried some of our favorite recipes with the soak-for-hours v.s. the Reveo for minutes and the Reveo has won every flavor contest. Just used it last night for our "gauranteed-winner-with-first-time-dinner-guests" grilled flank steak....they LOVED it! Quick and easy to use....the only problem that I've had with it is a cracked lid that wouldn't allow a tight seal. Called Reveo and they replaced it with NO charge...not even for the shipping, which is a rarity for us Alaskans. I picked up a spare tumbler/lid, just-in-case it takes a dive again when I have dinner guests coming. I had my doubts at first, about how it might mush up my fresh salmon steaks, but it never has. Had it about 3.5 years now, use it often and just the one cracked lid problem. Definitely wouldn't be without one.......
I bought one used and it did not seal right - working with the original owner, I got new lids and it has worked great.
It really does work and it does tenderize - I learned last week as I over tumbled some kabobs with pineapple juice that it turned them to mush...
That being said, I really like the results when used as suggested.
