Eastman Outdoors 38229 Reveo MariVac Food Tumbler

The first Reveo I got was broken when we unpacked it. A replacement was shipped promptly, but now the same part in the lid that was broken in shipment, has broken again. It's a great premise, and I suppose it works well, but the fact that the lid is broken (again) after less than 20 uses makes me believe it has a fatal design flaw. Yes, the mfr has a one year warranty, but this is too pricey to only last a year, and too much hassle. I prefer my gadgets to be trouble free.

If you are into great steaks or wild game then this is the product for you. I was given my 1st one as a gift and had a problem with the original lid after contacting the vendor they took care of the problem and overnighted me a new one. After the new lid arrived it has been bullet proof and a GREAT product. Since then I have purchased 3 additional units and have given them as gifts. Everyone that has received them loves them for steaks and vegetables etc....Long story short you cant go wrong with this company or products!!

If I could give it 10 stars I would. I have NEVER tasted better meat,chicken, or fish. 20 mins in the tumbler with ANY marinade and the food is 200% infused with the flavor of your marinade. The clean up is SUPER easy. Throw the tumbler in the dishwasher and take 1 minute to wash the top. No need to remove the rubber seal from the top, as that will decrease the longevity. The seal doesn't let anything get in that will contaminate it anyways. This is absolutely the indespensible kitchen item for non-vegetarians :-) As a test I put in thawed thick cut bacon in it with some maple syrup and pepper and it was so good I made another pound immediatly afterwards. Works excellent on venison. No gamey taste and as I said earlier,,it totally infuses the meat with flavor. Additionally you don't have to baste your meat in between flips on the grill or whatever technique you use. Buy this product NOW! I know it sounds like a review written by an employee of the company, but I assure you I'm an Air Force man with a wife and two kids. We use this machine at least 4 nights a week.

I didn't even bother completely unpacking the thing. Old worn unsealed box, all the plastic surfaces looked as is scrubbed with 'Comet cleanser', sheen of grease residue on plastic too. The bag that the instructions were enclosed in had been through the mill too. I've been a long time Amazon customer and this is the first time I've seen this type of garbage. Therefore I put it on the manufacturer and not Amazon. If I buy a used, refurbished item I don't expect to pay full price.

I was sceptical but had to have another kitchen toy............ This one quickly became a favorite and I use it constantly to quickly, and spontaneously, be able to marinate for our new grill. I absolutely love it!
