01 · Right for you?
Is the V.100 Premium X right for you?
Choose it if you
- seal big batches: game, fish, bulk buys, up to 1,000 bags in a row
- want to decide yourself when the seal fires
- use bags and rolls up to 34cm wide, plus jars and containers
- want a machine you can repair for 20+ years
02 · Made in southern Germany
Built to last decades, not seasons
Most cheap sealers overheat and fail within a year or two of regular use. The V.100 Premium X has a fan-cooled housing, an oversized sealing transformer and parts you can replace yourself.
- 1,000seals in a row without overheating
- 20+ yearsguaranteed spare parts
Double seal
Two seams, because one gap is enough to fail
Every bag gets two seal lines of about 4mm. For meat, fish and marinades going into long-term storage, that second line is what keeps air out.
LAVA Turbo Pump
The same pump as the dearer models
35 litres per minute, double ball bearings, −0.94 bar. LAVA does not downgrade the pump by price, so it runs smoothly under load for years.
Manual seal
You decide when it seals
Watch the vacuum bar and press Seal early for berries, bread or herbs. Full vacuum for meat and fish.
Container mode
Bags, jars and containers
One button switches to containers in glass, plastic or steel and to preserving jars. Adjustable seal time handles thin dry-aging bags up to 200µm foil.

Where it sits
The double-seal range starts here
The V.100 Premium X is built for regular, high-volume sealing: a big batch of meat after a hunt, fish straight off the boat, or a bulk buy stored for months. It runs the same LAVA Turbo Pump as the V.200 Premium X and the V.300 Premium X, reaches the same −0.94 bar and seals with the same double seal across 34cm.
What sets it apart is the seal step: the pump starts by itself, and you press Seal when the colour bar shows the vacuum you want. Up to 1,000 seals in a row, made in southern Germany. See all LAVA vacuum sealers.

Two weld lines on every bag
A single seam is fine for dry goods. With meat, fish or a marinade, one small gap lets air back in. The V.100 Premium X welds two separate lines of about 4mm on every bag, so the second holds if the first has a flaw: the right way to seal anything headed for long-term freezer storage.
A fan-cooled housing and an oversized sealing transformer keep it from overheating on long runs, which is what separates it from machines with small transformers that run hot and fail early.
Inside the pump
The same pump as the dearer models
LAVA doesn't downgrade the pump by price. The V.100 Premium X has the LAVA Turbo Pump (LTP), the double-ball-bearing piston pump of the V.200 and V.300 Premium X: 35 litres a minute and −0.94 bar. The double ball bearings keep it running smoothly under load, with far less wear over the years than a single-bearing pump.
Control
Watch the bar, press Seal
A colour bar for the vacuum
The colour-coded bar shows the vacuum building as the pump works. Meat, fish, vegetables and batch-cooked meals are sealed at full vacuum. For soft berries, fresh bread or delicate herbs, press Seal before the bar reaches the top: airtight, without crushing them.
- 01
Place the bag
Bags up to 31cm sit inside the drip tray; up to 34cm seal across the chamber.
- 02
Close the lid
A magnetic closing system supports the lid.
- 03
Vacuum
The pump starts by itself and the bar rises.
- 04
Seal
Press Seal at the level you want.
Need finer control?
Setting a lower vacuum is possible on the V.100 Premium X but not practical: the L+ regulator is an extra, and without a gauge it is hard to set precisely. If delicate food is a regular job, the V.300 Black and V.300 White have a pressure gauge and L+ as standard.
One machine
Bags, rolls, containers and jars
Container mode on one button
It vacuums LAVA vacuum containers in glass, plastic and stainless steel, preserving jars, and cans or pots with a compatible lid: handy for marinating in jars, or for anything that doesn't suit a bag.
Any embossed bag or roll up to 34cm
The sealing time is adjustable, from thin dry aging bags to 200-micron industrial foil. LAVA's vacuum sealer bags and vacuum sealer rolls are Swiss-made from plasticiser-free PE/PA, taste-neutral and odour-free. For sous vide, seal the steak or fish and cook it with a sous vide stick.
Who it's for
Who the V.100 Premium X is right for
Bulk buyers and batch cooks
Cook on the weekend, seal everything and have meals for the month, without freezer burn.
Hunters
Venison, wild boar or other game sealed soon after the hunt: 1,000 seals in a row get through a full day's haul.
Fishers
Seal the catch within hours and keep it in freezer condition for months, not days.
Dry aging and sous vide
The adjustable sealing time suits LAVA dry aging bags; a tight seal goes straight into the water bath.

The same specs and the same pump: the difference is how much the machine does for you. If you like to choose when the seal fires, especially with liquid-heavy or marinated food, the V.100 Premium X gives you that control.

Built to last
Made in Germany, repaired rather than replaced
Built in southern Germany by Landig + Lava, the family-owned maker of every LAVA machine; no LAVA sealer, bag or roll is made in the Far East.
