I have been considering buying a Food Saver for quite a while but I wasn’t sure it would be worth the money. It’s easy to use for the vacuum and seal part but trying to evenly cut the plastic material from the roll that came with it was next to impossible and very time consuming. I found rolls of material online that were in a box with a slide cutter. This isn’t the name brand but the material seems to be just as good. If I had to cut the Food Saver bags off the roll every time I would probably throw the whole thing in the trash. Luckily I found the bag material with a cutter. The actual vacuum sealer machine works great so far. Do yourself favor and find rolls of bag material online with a cutter on the box. Then the whole process is much more streamlined.

Have owned a food saver for 10 years and always loved. Wanted to replace old with a new product because I loved it. I used new one twice and now pulled old one out. Terrible product. No suction. Very disappointed

Love it, works better than the older styles with the exception it doesn’t have the roll cutter! But my wife likes it so that’s all that counts!!

Broke the first time I tried to use it. Vaccum wouldn't work. Could hear rattling in base like something broke.

This food saver is amazing! I did some research online and realized the basic one was all I needed to get the job done. It works so well. It's very easy to use and is so efficient. My husband and I packaged up so many meats and veggies right away after receiving this. I HIGHLY recommend!!

It works as it should . Great that it came with all the bags , but the hand held unit only works on the certain bags . It has no cutter which I was surprised because most have that even off brands come with a cutter . It’s very loud but my friends tell me that’s normal . Good for quick and basic needs

I bought one of these because it was recommended by my cousin. It is a little loud as it seals but that doesn't last long. I've had it about 6 months and It seems to be a good little machine. I recently bought one for my daughter-in-law. She started using it immediately for items she had just purchased. Her statement was: "I love this thing". I don't think you will be disappointed in buying it. Food stays much longer in the freezer without freezer burn.

I have been wanting one for a while now. and after using it for a few times, I seem to be going through more bags because they do not seal properly or the seal brakes I almost feel like it was a waste money and time. I wish I could return the product but I have had it for over a couple of months now.

We bought this on sale as our original food saver is starting to go out. The original was a wedding present and still going kinda strong, but has its moments. I tried out the new one to be sure it works and it's a little easier to handle and a bit more quiet. I liked using it and packaging my meats was really quick and easy. I haven't used the piece for the bags yet, but it will just be a bonus if I decide to try it out. I will always recommend food saver!

this is my 3rd sealer I have used the machine constantly. Purchase large packages of meats, cheeses and produce. Break them down into smaller packages and seal them up. I find that if I prefreeze meats and then vacuum seal them I have less of a mess during the sealing process.
