Smart Vacuum System

Silo is a countertop smart vacuum-sealing system that pairs BPA-free Tritan containers with a powerful electric base. Placing a container on the base and pressing one button pulls a deep vacuum directly through the container's bottom, removing air without bags, clogs, or extra parts. A built-in kitchen scale weighs ingredients in the container, and a companion app (with built-in Alexa for hands-free labeling) tracks what is stored and reminds you before it spoils. The company claims food stays fresh up to 5x longer than conventional storage.

To use Silo, you fill one of its Tritan containers, snap on the lid, set it on the base, and press the button. The 160W pump draws air out through a proprietary airway in the container bottom, creating a strong vacuum (about 75kPa) and a seal that only releases when you press the valve. Removing the surrounding air slows the oxidation, mold, and bacterial growth that cause food to spoil, so produce, leftovers, meats, and pantry staples last significantly longer.

Beyond sealing, the integrated scale lets you weigh ingredients directly in the container for portioning or cooking, and the app logs each container's contents and freshness timeline so you can track your inventory and reduce waste. The containers themselves are microwave safe and dishwasher safe, making them practical for everyday storage, reheating, and cleanup.

• Best value comes from sealing frequently used items like berries, greens, deli meats, and leftovers where the extended shelf life offsets the premium price.
• The scale can be used freely for baking or meal prep, not just for tracked items.
• Containers are dishwasher and microwave safe, but confirm the base and lids are handled per the included care instructions.
• Built-in Alexa and the companion app require Wi-Fi setup to use the freshness-tracking and voice-labeling features.
• This is a higher-priced, countertop appliance system rather than a simple set of containers, so plan for the space it occupies.
