Better then manual version. Only regret is I have to upgrade all my other canisters now!

Very fun purchase. Works and looks great! Happy to have some extra shelf life with beans at the ease of a button!

The glass* canister, specifically, has a design flaw where the lid and glass container below are much more susceptible to losing the seal or having a bad seal than the matte black stainless steel option (continue reading below why this happens). The pump automatically runs to re-seal when it loses pressure, which is a good feature under normal circumstances, but mine kept running every couple hours day and night. It's loud enough to hear from the next room over and becomes very annoying. Warranty process was relatively smooth with Fellow - they are sending me a new one free of charge and no need to return the old one. This is taking a few weeks now for shipping, so I'm out a canister and who knows if the new one will have the same problem. Save yourself the hassle and go with the matte black canister.

I own the matte black 1.2L (stainless steel) canister, and it has a machined ridge in the bottom container portion where the lid seals the canister. I believe this helps the lid seal much more effectively than the glass canister which does not have the ridge (assumed due to manufacturing limitations of the glass). I would HIGHLY recommend going for the matte black canister instead of the glass one. I know the glass might be attractive from an aesthetic point of view (which is why I bought one), but the design is inferior. I rate the matte black canister 4.5/5, with only half a point off because of the price. If you can get it on sale somewhere, definitely worth it.

The Fellow Electric Atmos Vacuum Canister is a high-quality, aesthetically pleasing storage solution for coffee beans and other dry goods. Its key feature is the automatic vacuum sealing system, which sets it apart from traditional canisters.

Pros:

Superior Freshness: The electric vacuum system effectively removes air, preserving the flavor and aroma of coffee beans for an extended period.
Effortless Operation: The automatic sealing and releasing mechanism simplifies the process of storing and accessing contents.
Sleek Design: The matte black finish adds a touch of elegance to any kitchen countertop.
Versatile Use: Suitable for storing various dry goods, including tea, nuts, and spices.

Cons:

Price: The electric version is more expensive compared to the manual Fellow Atmos canisters.
Capacity: The 700ml size may not be sufficient for users who purchase coffee beans in bulk.
Maintenance: The lid requires careful cleaning to avoid damage to the vacuum mechanism.

Overall:

The Fellow Electric Atmos Vacuum Canister is a worthwhile investment for coffee enthusiasts who prioritize freshness and convenience. While it comes at a premium price, the automatic vacuum system and sleek design justify the cost for those seeking the best in coffee storage solutions.

If you’re lazy like me, get the electric one - thank me later :). Just push the button and it seals/unseals nicely. It’s worth the extra $56 imo. I bought beans 1-3 days after roast date a few times to see if the container allowed for degassing. Beans did not degas that well and after 1.5 weeks the coffee hadn’t peaked. I now buy my beans 1.5-2 weeks from the roast date and then dump into the Atmos. Works great maintaining the freshness. Have owned this for 2.5 months now sealing/unsealing once daily and I haven’t had to charge it. So far it’s been a good purchase. Thanks 8oz!
