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

This is an old product version which Food Saver no longer supports. It failed to work straight out of the box. A call to Food Saver customer service revealed there was nothing they could do to correct it - take it back where you got it. As a result, I will be making the 63 mile drive to the nearest Sam's Club to return it and the additional bags I purchased with it.

This machine is good for the price, it will do the job. It works well. I just had to throw away my old foodsaver machine, it was 15 years old and was excellent until it finally wore-out. So I am comparing this new one to an old one which was a much better model, probably 'top of the line' for its day. I miss that old one.

It works extremely well sealing meat, fish, etc. for the freezer. With the cost of meat now, it's great to be able to preserve its quality. The consumables are expensive, so I'll try using it with other media and see how that goes. It's great to have non-leaking meat defrosting in the fridge!

This works great for my family! When I purchase meats or cheese in bulk, I like to use this to reduce down into smaller units and vacuum pack foods for longer storage life. I also process many of our garden vegetables and fruits so this machine is put to good use! It seals well with either dry or wet ingredients. It comes with rolls of bagging material so you can make any size bag or use the premade bags for quick packaging. It’s easy to write on to record date and item and makes organizing my freezer a breeze!

Easy to use- includes so much! I bought what I believed to be a cheaper sealer from Walmart plus 2 sizes of bags. Broken from the get go! This vacuum sealer was more reasonable and noticeably more durable with added luxuries like cutter and attached hoses for more functionality. Easy to use right out of box even though I had never used anything like this before. I am amazed at how many bags and custom bag rolls this comes with! I am so happy I sealed smoked pulled pork. We smoke a lot of meat so this will be so nice to have!

Love this vacuum seal machine. I can split all my Sam’s purchases into smaller packets and store until needed. This machine comes with supplies and there is room under the lid for a roll that can be cut to size with the convenient sliding cutter on the machine.

The accessory port does not work. There is almost no suction. I can’t use any of the accessories I bought. And funny that when I went to register it online, Foodsaver would not recognize the model # and would not answer my queries.

The food saver it’s very good. So, far I no complain. It’s easy to use, ever my 8 years old was help me seal stuff… it’s only one complaint, there’s a bottom Open\Store that I don’t know what it’s use for, but that’s ok.

It does great with dry food. The moist button works sometimes. I'm not super happy that I have to pre-freeze items to seal them. This should be on the outside of the box.
