After having FoodSaver products for over 30 years, I ordered the the sealer to cut back on counter space. I was disappointed by the lack of some of the features of the larger units, such as, the bag cutter, the pull out accessory vac tube, etc. I have several accessories that require the vac tube, such as, marinating pans, jar sealers, etc.I just had to order vac tubes from Walmart, hopefully they will do the job. As for the handheld sealer, I still have and use an old handheld vac from 25 years ago. My old larger FoodSaver and old handheld, I gifted to a friend from church.

I love Food Saver Products. Ive had a Food Saver for over 10 years and it stopped sealing. There was no question which sealing system I should get but Idid research the all. Food Saver was my choice again and I loved all the new features and bonuses that came with it. I prepare my meats and freeze. I use a marker to indicate the date it was in the freezer. I even bought a Food Saver for my son and daughter-in-law and they love it.

Did a great job. If it's a product with lots fluids, I had trouble trying to get the bag to vacuum seal but I left a little extra at end of bag and it sealed it fine. Because as the vacuum is sucking out the air it's pulling the juices out and it won't properly seal. Just have to figure out the little work arounds.

I purchased this item 2 days ago and needed to use it today for the first time. It would not seal nor would it vacuum and seal. I tried it several times and wouldn’t work. Just a lot of noise. I had a Food Saver back in the 80’s and loved it. Was really hoping that the quality was still there. I’ll be headed back to Walmart today to return this useless product. How could Food Saver even let these non working machines pass their quality control? Or is there even a quality control check with Food Saver anymore?

We needed to replace our Food Saver and chose this on becuase of the smaller size. So far we have been very happy with it. We have been Food Sver users since they first came out in an infomercial many moons ago! Such a great way to save some money!!!

Maybe I got a bad unit? We were able to seal 2 bags and that was it. Took “gaskets” out and flipped them over and that gave us the 2nd vac, but none after that. Very disappointed. For something that should suck, it did not. Debating on trying again, the foam gaskets seem cheap and useless to me.

Not quite the product I wanted. Wanted the one that had the bag cutter so Id have straight cuts making it easier to sealer. Very compact (bags take up much more room than the actual sealer) easy to use and havent had a bag that wouldnt seal or came unsealed

The Food saver vacuum sealer is nice because it doesn't take up as much room as the previous models I have owned. It doesn't hold any roles, so you have to store them elsewhere. The little portable vacuum sealer for resealable bags was a nice addition. Of course the portable vacuum does take longer to empty the bag.

Purchased after noticing meat in our freezer was becoming freezer burned quickly. We buy in bulk and also freeze vegetables from our garden. It was easy to use! Only 1 bag was not sealed correctly during our learning process! We are very pleased and wish we had purchased the vacuum sealer much sooner.

This is not the first time we own a FoodSaver vacuum sealer machine. The previous machine still works well but since this unit was on sale so we decided to get one as spare. This FoodSaver is much the same as prior model and it works as intended. It pulls a vacuum and seals automatic with one button or stop the vacuum and seal or just seal with the seal button. Construction quality is good for home use as most components were made out of plastic but that do not compromise quality. It is the way to go if you don't want to worry about freezer burnt food. Yes, we highly recommend this product to anyone.
