So far, so good

So far it is working very well. It was nice getting the sample and variety of items to use, so it gives me a better understanding of what's available and which I like better.

Don't bother

Unpacked it and tossed the box. Tried to use it a week later and it won't power up at all. The website is useless (there is no on/off switch or operate button). So I'll have to make the 25 mile trip to return it. I'm so disappointed, this was my third FS.

Hello. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the FoodSaver VS2270.<br /><br />We are very sorry to hear that the unit would not power on when you tried to use it. We understand how frustrating and disappointing this must be.<br /><br />Before making the trip to return the unit, we recommend trying a few basic troubleshooting steps:<br /><br />- Verify that the power cord is securely plugged into both the unit and a working outlet.<br />- Try plugging the appliance into a different outlet to rule out a power issue.<br />- Ensure the lid is properly aligned and fully closed before attempting operation.<br />- If using a power strip or extension cord, try connecting the unit directly to a wall outlet.<br /> <br />If you have any more feedback, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time.<br /> <br />Thank you!<br />Foodsaver® Consumer Care

Well worth the cost because it allows bulk buying.

Great for totally preventing freezer burn, superior to ziplock freezer bags any day!!!! This is our second food saver. Bag cutter is built into the machine under the lid.

MUCH BETTER!

Wow this Foodsaver is GREAT. I have one that is 20+ years old. This one is so much better. Much Quieter, cutter on top fits the rolls in it. just squeeze the sides to operate.

Quit working properly after eight months.

Purchased the Food Saver 10 month ago, worked fine the first 8 month, now it will vacuum and seal ok the first few uses and after that it will only vacuum about half the air out and seal the bag.

Hello Milton,<br /><br />Thank you for reaching out to us with your feedback on our VS2270 vacuum sealer. We’re sorry to hear your vacuum sealer did not meet your expectations and that isn’t working properly after several months of use. A few troubleshooting steps may help: check the upper and lower gaskets for food or debris and make sure they’re properly seated in their tracks. Also, be sure the open end of the bag is fully inside the Vacuum Channel.<br /><br />If the issue persists, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us directly. You can do so via the &#39;Contact Us&#39; form on our official website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time.<br /><br />Thank you!<br />FoodSaver® Consumer Care.

Model not supported by Food Saver

I'm currently trying to use my product it didn't come with a user guide for some reason and the company doesn't even have this model as an option so you can't even register the thing and I use the QR code that was on the front of the machine. When I tried to communicate with the company they say they're having technical difficulties so you can't even correspond with them.

Never worked

Unfortunately mine was defective. Did not work out of the box and I spent over an hour trying to seal my beef before finally giving up and putting it in the freezer without vacuum sealing. I used 4 bags, troubleshot the machine in every suggested way and was never able to get it to vacuum.

Not Great

Replaced an old food saver that I loved. It was lost in a fire. This unit was okay at first, but does not seal very well, you have to manually seal it alot. The suction is very weak. It takes a few trys after making sure my bag is situated correctly. It is now faster and less stressful to use freezer ziplocks instead. My old unit was perfect, this one they cheaped out on. The bonus though is the handheld, it is awesome! If I could get a huge supply of the bags that go with, it would be a game changer.

Working with FoodSaver

Like many others, I tried to download the instructions and register this product with FoodSaver, but was unable because it was not listed on their site. I spoke to their customer service and they happily registered the product for me (even though apparently you didn't need to) and emailed me a copy of the instructions. While it would be better if FoodSaver wasn't treating these units as second class, their support was friendly and emailed the instructions right away.
