This is so much easier to use than the upright one that finally wore out. It doesn’t take up much counter space and The bags are placed in a tray that is exposed so it’s easy to line them up for sealing. And too there is less waste when using rolls, only a bout 2” instead of 4”. Highly recommend this product.

I have bought FoodSaver sealing machines in the past. When my FoodSaver broke, I decided to buy this one. This FoodSaver was smaller than my last one but decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did! It works great and I’m very happy with it. The cost only $99.00. Make sure you do read the instructions on how to operate this machine. It’s a definite must.

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.

This is my second FoodSaver! Had the first one for over 8 yrs. Have used it to death-literally! Can’t calculate the amt of money it has saved my family, not just preserving food but buying it on sale, vacuum sealing it & freezing for later use, esp meat and left overs. Can’t manage our kitchen or budget without it.

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.

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.

Doesn’t vacuum seal well. It was vacuum sealed and when I checked it in the freezer an hour later the vacuum seal was o longer in tact.

Actually returned this item as it was not like the one we previously owned (which died after 8 years of constant use). This one does not have as good an accessory hose and left much to be desired. It will do the basic sealing very well, but using it with the accessory hose did not work very well. It did not seal complete. I We opted for the $249 model from another source as we use it multiple times a week.

I have been using this brand a very long time and this model does not vacuum well and you can open the seal very easily
