[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great food saving option and packaging option. Would recommend for anyone wanting to preserve foods longer. Great for meats especially for the freezer. Easy to use and has easy refill options for the bad. Comes with an additional hand held sealer

This is a replacement for older, different brand, which was hard to use. It made my wrist hurt pressing down to seal foods. My new Food Saver is so easy to use, just close lid and press a button, much quieter than old one. I plan to buy for gifts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To be honest this was an appliance I have wanted for years but never thought it was "a must". Boy was I wrong! We have a large family and I like to buy our meat in bulk and freeze it. Usually that involved cutting and separating portions and putting them into gallon or quart sized bags while squeezing as much are out as possible. Using the Foodsaver precut bags and the "make your own bags" using the roll was just as easy. I was able to sperate and vacuum seal all the meat and I know they will store easily in the freezer and stay fresh until use. The directions were super easy to follow. I have already ordered more bags!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fit the bill nicely for me, easy to use and to store. Came with plenty of bags and rolls. I mostly use this product to prep meals for soups vide cooking. It does a great job of getting the air out and sealing the bags. I like to make a big batch of spaghetti sauce and portion it out into freezer bags. The handheld vacuum bonus product came in handy for that. Five stars!

I purchased a chest freezer to accommodate quantities of meat, poultry, and fruits and veggies from my garden. I wanted a vacuum sealer to prevent food waste. The FM2000 met the requirements I was looking for (easy setup/use/clean up; smaller profile for storage). I have used both the bags and rolls - all worked great! Everything from veggies (carrots, diced onions, zucchini, beets, green beans, asparagus, sweet potatoes, spinach, kale, snap peas); fruit (strawberry, blueberry, grapes); and meat (ground round, steaks, large roasts, and chicken breasts) - all were easily handled by the FM2000 and are looking great in the freezer (no freezer burn). The FM2000 is also great if you use the sous vide cooking method (just include your seasonings in the bag when you vacuum seal your meal).

Purchased a Food Saver VS3170, looks to be the same model. Does not make an airtight seal when sealing meats. It tries to vacuum the juices out of the meat and will not make a good seal. When you unlock the unit to remove the bag, the air returns. I read on the Food Saver web site to freeze the meat and then seal it in the bags. This is against the whole purpose of buying this unit. I suppose if you want to take cereal out of the sealed container you purchase it in and put it into smaller sealed containers, this might be a handy tool. If you looking to save last night's roast for dinner in a couple of weeks, not so much. I'm just going to go back to tupperware and zip-lock bags for storing food. Simple and proven.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had an older vacuum sealer i used alot but it was nothing compared to this one! Its very easy to use and user friendly. It has a great construction to it. And most importantly it seals and vacuums perfectly. I do a good bit of meal preping and this really helps keep my food fresh over the course of the week that i prep for. I love the handheld sealer too. It works great for resealing things on the go, and with food containers and jar sealers by the company.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great vacuum sealer. Love how it keeps my food fresh for longer. Love how easy it is to use and operate. Great sealing. Nice that it comes with a bonus handheld vacuum sealer. So handy for when you want to quickly seal something.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I could not be happier with my FoodSaver. My wife and I meal prep all our food for the week, and the FoodSaver ensures that our food stays fresh. It is super easy to use and takes seconds to vacuum seal your food. It comes with plenty of different size bags. It also comes with a handheld sealer with a dock. We use the handheld sealer all the time with our FoodSaver containers. Honestly, we love our FoodSaver so much. We no longer waste food and save money because our food lasts longer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very straight forward & easy to use, huge benefit for large families who buy in bulk or even a smaller household who save by buying bulk, breaking it up, & repackaging for smaller portions. Items stay fresh in the freezer for 2-3 years. My son went on a float trip & sealed matches & other items to keep them waterproof. I haven’t used the Accessory Port, but it opens up a number of functionalities like the ability to seal jars and containers. Just an all around handy, smart, product to have around
