Fresko Wins Good Housekeeping 2026 Kitchen Award with the AutoMax V8 Vacuum Sealer

A Major Milestone for Fresko in 2026

Fresko is proud to announce that the Fully Automatic Vacuum Sealer AutoMax V8 has been recognized in the prestigious Good Housekeeping 2026 Kitchen Awards.

Selected after months of rigorous testing, this award celebrates the most innovative and high-performing kitchen tools designed to make everyday cooking easier, smarter, and more enjoyable.

Out of nearly 350 products tested by the Good Housekeeping Institute—alongside feedback from over 600 home testers—the Fresko V8 stood out as a true game-changer.

Award-Winning Innovation: Hands-Free Vacuum Sealing

Meet the AutoMax V8

The Fresko Fully Automatic Vacuum Sealer AutoMax V8 earned top recognition in the Hands-Free Sealer category—and for good reason.

Unlike traditional vacuum sealers that require manual control and monitoring, the V8 is designed for fully automatic operation:

• Simply fill your bag

• Insert the open end into the machine

• Close the lid

From there, the V8 takes over—automatically vacuuming and sealing your food with precision.

Why It Stood Out

According to lab testing from the Good Housekeeping team:

• A cut avocado stayed fresh without browning for days

• Delicate fruits like blackberries remained intact (no crushing!)

• Sealing performance was consistent and reliable

These results highlight the V8’s ability to handle both everyday storage and delicate foods—a rare combination in vacuum sealing technology.
