Is the V.300 Black right for you?
Choose it if you
- seal big batches of wet product: game, fish, whole cuts, up to 1,000 bags in a row
- want 600W and −0.96 bar, the top of the double-seal range
- want the analogue gauge and L+ as standard, down to −0.2 bar
- seal food with fine particles, like herb powder or flour: the two-stage filter guards the pump
- want a machine you can repair for 20+ years
02 · Made in southern Germany
Built to pull −0.96 bar for years
A stainless steel cylinder cover keeps the pumping force the same over the years, and a patented two-stage filter keeps fine particles out of the pump. Every part is serviceable on its own and replaced at home.
- 1,000seals in a row without overheating
- 20+ yearsspare parts available
Pressure gauge and L+
See the vacuum, set it lower
The analogue gauge shows the vacuum in bar during every cycle, as the needle travels towards −0.96 bar. L+, included as standard, sets a lower vacuum before the cycle, down to −0.2 bar: soft berries, ripe tomatoes and fresh bread stay whole.
Inside the pump
Two upgrades the V.100 and V.200 don't have
A patented two-stage filter in the liquid separator catches fine particles, from herb powder and flour to metal grains from butchering, before they reach the pump. A stainless steel cylinder cover keeps the pumping force the same over the years.
Double seal
Wet product, no worries
Two weld lines of about 4mm across the full 34cm: if one seam has a weak spot, the second holds. The drip tray and a second liquid receiver by the bag keep juices out of the pump.
Fully automatic
Lid to lid, by itself
Vacuum, seal and venting run without a press; the solenoid opens the lid at the end. Manual mode is there for L+: the pump still starts by itself, and you fire the seal at your setting.
Who it's for
- HuntersA whole deer in one session: up to 1,000 seals in a row.
- FishingWet product sealed cleanly: two weld lines, two liquid receivers.
- Serious home cooksDense cuts and soft berries in one session: gauge and L+ handle both.
- Sous videA known vacuum for every protein, read off the gauge.
- Dry-agingA careful seal on thin LAVA dry-aging bags.

Where it sits
LAVA's best-selling sealer
The V.300 Black is where the range steps up from a capable machine for enthusiasts to one that performs in a commercial or high-volume setting. Against the V.200 Premium X it adds 100 watts, a deeper vacuum of −0.96 bar, and the analogue pressure gauge with L+ pressure regulation as standard.
Inside the pump it has two upgrades the V.100 and V.200 don't: a patented two-stage filter and a stainless steel cylinder cover. A matte black vacuum sealer, fully automatic, rated for 1,000 seals in a row and built in southern Germany. See all LAVA vacuum sealers.

Inside the pump
Two upgrades the V.100 and V.200 don't have
A patented two-stage filter
It sits in the liquid separator and catches fine particles, from herb powder and flour to metal grains from butchering, before they reach the pump. Without it, small particles drawn in while sealing can build up inside the pump and wear it.
A stainless steel cylinder cover
The pump piston runs in a stainless steel cylinder cover, a harder-wearing surface that keeps the pumping force the same over the years. You won't notice it in year one; you will in year five or ten, when it still pulls −0.96 bar.
Control
Gauge and L+ work as one system
See the vacuum in bar
During every cycle the needle on the analogue gauge travels towards −0.96 bar. In automatic mode the machine seals at full vacuum by itself; in manual mode you watch the needle and press seal when it reaches the depth you want.
L+: less vacuum for soft food
Included as standard, the L+ regulator sets a lower vacuum before the cycle starts, down to −0.2 bar. The machine pumps to that level, seals and stops: an airtight seal without crushing anything. On the V.100 Premium X and V.200 Premium X, L+ is an extra and hard to use without a gauge to read it against.
Food that full vacuum would flatten
- Soft berries
- Ripe tomatoes
- Fresh bread
- Cooked sausages
Operation

Close the lid
A short press is enough: the LCS closing system holds it while the pump works.

With L+
The pump still starts by itself; only the seal is yours: press it when the needle reaches your setting.

One button switches to vacuuming containers, preserving jars, and cans or pots with a vacuum valve.

Wet product, no worries
Two separate weld lines of about 4mm run across the full 34cm of every bag: if one seam has a weak spot, the second holds. The removable drip tray and a second liquid receiver by the bag keep juices out of the pump, and an oversized sealing transformer keeps it from overheating on long runs.
Bags up to 31cm sit inside the drip tray; bags up to 34cm seal across the chamber. A hunter's view of it in use: the LAVA V.300 Black review, and vacuum sealing game meat from field to freezer.
One machine
Containers, jars, dry aging and sous vide
Containers and jars
Container mode works with LAVA vacuum containers in glass, plastic and stainless steel, preserving jars with a valve lid, and cans or pots with a vacuum valve. The vacuum draws a marinade into meat in a fraction of the time it takes in the fridge.
Any embossed bag or roll up to 34cm
The adjustable sealing time handles everything from thin dry aging bags to 200-micron foil. LAVA's vacuum sealer bags and vacuum sealer rolls are Swiss-made and free of plasticisers, and for sous vide a tight bag at −0.96 bar goes straight to a sous vide stick.
Who it's for
Who the V.300 Black is right for
Serious home cooks sealing everything
Dense cuts and soft berries in the same session: gauge and L+ handle both.
Hunters, fishers and butchers
Large batches of wet product, 1,000 seals in a row, and the filter for particle-heavy work.
Restaurants and catering
The most capable double-seal machine in the range, for daily commercial sealing.
Sous vide and dry aging
A known vacuum for every protein, and a careful seal on thin dry aging bags.

One step down
An LED bar instead of the gauge, L+ as an extra, 500W and −0.94 bar, without the two pump upgrades.
V.350 Premium L
One step up
A triple seal, a 36cm seal bar and 900W, for butcher shops, restaurant kitchens and large daily volumes. See the commercial cryovac machines.
Built to last
Made in Germany, repaired rather than replaced
Built by Landig + Lava, the family-owned maker of every LAVA machine in southern Germany, from individual serviceable parts instead of one integrated board: a worn part is replaced at home, without sending the machine away. Spare parts are available for at least 20 years; seal tape and foam seals are among the vacuum sealer spare parts stocked in Australia.

“Compact up spec machine”
Chris· Verified buyer· 08 Jun 2026

“Fantastic quality item. Got one of these units as an ex Demo model with a nice saving. Very happy with the performance and it's a major upgrade over the Anko one. Came with bonus bags which was nice suprise but also does a fantastic job with the Anko bags as well. Having said that the Lava ones again are superior. Really happy with my purchase and would purchase again.”

“Bought for my business to replace 2 units which I won't name (stocked by Harvey Norman). The other manufacturer claims theirs to be "commercial" (2 units - both developed a crack in the vacuum chamber after 13 months - rubbish). The La.va is strongly built, has very flexible settings - and super quiet! The sealing bar is also wider - enough to seal two of my packages at once. And great 2-stage liquid catching system to protect the pump. Overall I'm very impressed.”

“Amazing to have a vacuum sealer that is the real deal! The previous sealer (which was not a bottom of the line brand) died after two years of moderate use. Now that I have a LAVA, I realised how poor the power was on the old vacuum sealer--even when it was brand new! Highly recommend LAVA V300 for its simplicity and workmanship. Well worth the extra spend for a lifetime product.”
