Is this a rechargeable I am trying to figure out the difference in this model and this one and this: http://www.amazon.com/Waring-PVS1000-...

Hi, Yes it is rechargeable and will do about 30 bags before it needs to be recharged. After much research I could not find any difference between the two models (Waring-PVS1000 vs WPVS2000) so I went with the less expensive one. Waring's website only list the PVS1000 but after receiving the product I checked and could see no difference between them, (except the model #) even the NiMH battery is the same and the instruction manuals both list 2012 as the product year. I love this kitchen tool! It works great and seals the food as good as the large expensive models (compared it with my sisters), takes up a small amount of space in my cabinet, and is very easy to use. I bought my 83 year old mother one and she loves it. I'm now shopping more at the big box stores and saving money buying in bulk, especially with meats. The bags are dishwasher safe and I turn them wrong-side-out to insure they get well cleaned. Sorry for rambling but this is now a favorite appliance, just wish I had it when the kids were little. Hope this answers your question.

It is rechargeable. It is a lithium ion battery like a cordless drill. It states that it will stay charged for up to a year but I try to charge mine whenever I think about it. Usually about once a quarter.

Yes it is rechargeable. I believe it lasts about 8 hours. I have not tried playing while charging, but I don't see why not.

Hello, It does not mean rechargeable, it means it's small enough that you can carry it places and use as long as you have access to an outlet. Hope this helps!

nope. rechargable only. original item has wonderfully long battery life - I was able to use it for a several days of backpacking, etc. more recent/refurbished ones are more usual two days worth of pretty heavy use. not nearly as good.

Yes it is rechargeable. It is the same battery that came with the wife's new Canon camera. She just wanted a backup battery.

Yes it is rechargeable, but must be hooked up to an appropriate lead-acid battery charger - namely one which will not overcharge it. A low rate (1-3amp), 2 stage charger, which will 'float' it at less than 14.7 volts when it is fully charged should work without a problem. Automotive high rate "booster" chargers could damage it.

Eugen... the item is recharchable. It comes with a wall mounting unit that plugs into an outlet. When you are not using it, place the item on the wall unit for recharge.

The one I purchased doesn't have a recharging option at all. It's battery powered. You simply replace the batteries when they run out. Obviously you could use rechargeable batteries. But it's not a rechargeable unit.

Yes it is rechargeable, it is small and won't spill, no liquid inside. I use it to power all my electronic and lights on my fishing kayak, works great, hardly an weight, and can install it in any position.

I found a similar question asked and answered. The person who responded said he had researched both models as best he could and couldn't find any differences, other than the model numbers and the price. I'm inclined to agree with him. The Waring website shows only the PVS1000 list price $130, no reference to the other model; the WPVS2000SA list price is $99 at Amazon and other sellers. I didn't know there were 2 models. Checked my box--mine is a wpvs.

It is not rechargeable. Once its drained, its dead. The alarm system draws off the battery only when the wired power source goes down for whatever reason. Unfortunately ig either sat and discharged or was defective and not able to hold a charge. Batteries will go bad if they have been sitting for too long.

Rechargeable is what I have been using. I don't believe they charge up like that.

Yes, it's rechargeable. Sometimes it doesn't hold a charge very long, but plug it up and it puts enough of a charge to do what you need to do, then just plug it in to recharge it like normal.
