This is my third one in 20 years. For the two of us this works the best. Shop at Sam’s for meat and package “our size” amounts to freeze. Then take out what you need

I would be lost without my Food Saver, especially this time of the year when it’s time to put up corn and kale and spinach and other vegetables for the winter. Also, it’s great when things that you use all the time on sale to stock up and save money.

I have resisted buying one of these for so long, then got fed up with freezer burn on meat. It was so easy to set up and wrapped up the meat like magic

I feel like the purchase price of the Food Saver is a great value and worth it. It pays for it self very quick when taking into consideration how much money is saved/not wasted when using the Food Saver to keep product from spoiling. The versatility of being able to use it to seal products that are ment to be refrigerated, frozen, and/or shelf stable goods. Then the fact that it can seal dry and/or wet stuff is the "icing on the cake".

This is a game changer. Before I bought the food saver I would end up with a lot of spoiled food because I couldn't eat it all in time. Since buying the foodsaver now I can freeze individual portions pop them in the freezer and then cook them a week later. I would recommend this for a large family or just 1-2 people. Best thing I e bought in years.

This is the second FoodSaver I have purchased from Sam's because I literally wore out the first one. They changed the design just slightly making it easier to use and for the price vs others on the market at twice the price at specialty hunting and outdoor gear stores, it can't be beat.

For years I have debated if I would actually use a vacuum sealer, and when I happened to find this at a reduced price, I decided to give it a try. No matter how much you wrap food for the freezer, it always seems to get some freezer ice/burn after a certain point. I am so happy with this purchase! I have done meats, fruit for both freezer and refrigerator and so far it is doing what it advertises. I also bought the kit that allows you to seal lids on Mason jars (not from Sam's as you did not have it). Those adapters for both size lids are great as well. Of course that does NOT replace canning; strictly for storing only. Those provide an airtight fit and you do not need to use the lid rings. I also used the bags that were enclosed for food items, and that feature works as described. This item will be something I use very often, especially for items I get on sale and want to freeze. Very pleased with this!

I bought this mostly to use with their kit to vacuum seal canning jars. I am a senior so it was a learning curve-had a lot of trouble getting the pints to seal for some reason buy no issues so far with the wide mouth jars. am using this to seal freeze dried foods. haven't tried the plastic bags yet

The things I like about this vacuum sealer: it's a nice compact design that doesn't take up a lot of space for storage, it has longevity when sealing all lot of bags, and it's a lot quieter than our other sealer from FoodSaver. I was hoping it would work faster, but it still took just as long. It fits the same bags that we already had from the previous machine. It's not as intuitive as I would have liked, but there are instructions so it's easy to figure out. I just couldn't plug it in and start without consulting the directions like I wanted to. So far I think it's a good product worth the price.

The machine didn’t seal completely about 3 bags. I’m going to give it another try and decide then what to do
