I had a whamodyne fancy sucky bag machine that had bells whistles and flashing lights. You know if it has all that stuff it has to be better. It lasted about 3 years and quit sealing properly. So I bought this simple sucky bag machine. Not disappointed at all. About half the cost of a fancy one but does the job and fits in a drawer with all the bags and accessories. You won’t be disappointed.

Purchased as a Christmas gift for a busy household and the size was appreciated as it will fit into a kitchen drawer and be readily available.

I LOVE the foodsaver products! After my Dad passed away I got his foodsaver and have been using it for 7 years. I don't know how old it is but the accessory hose stopped pumping and I use way too many containers not to have that! So I bought a new one and love it just as much. Wouldn't buy any other brand!

The little VS1260 works well and makes an excellent wide sealing area on the bags. The side latches require a lot of pressure to lock-in when new, but once the gaskets break-in it will be easier to latch. No complaints otherwise, and I like this little machine much better than our FoodSaver model called the "Big Game" which has been an excellent machine.

This VS1260 has a small footprint. I can store it on its back in the cupboard that holds the crockpot with no issues. I'm still learning how to cut bags evenly and with enough headspace. It would be nice if the attachments could be stored "inside" the device, like some of the other models, but I bought the "great sale" unit, and I am pleased. I haven't used it often, but it is user friendly.

I absolutely love this unit! Doesn’t take up a lot of space, and is super easy to use. I freeze single serving portions of stews, sauces, and soups then vacuum seal them. Perfect to take them out and pop them in boiling water for a quick home made dinner. Now I can buy bulk packs of meat too and not worry about freezer burn. Perfect gift for a single person or senior - a real money saver!

I purchased this unit to seal canning jars. Works well. It doesn’t store a roll or does not have a bag cutter but I have a food saver with those options on it already Wanted this to do canning jars. You can use scissors to make bags and it is flat enough to fit in a drawer.

This is a Christmas gift, so it has not been opened. It was received with the internal slip and no outside packaging. It did not seem damaged. It appears to be a money saving measure which is pretty bad if the product is going to be presented as a gift. Now Food Saver is charging me for a subscription I did not authorize or are interested in. I will purchase refills as I need them, not when you want to make a new charge. Please eliminate my non authorized subscription from your processing.

I am frustrated with this sealer. I am unable to close the sealer tightly, and because of this I am unable to seal my food. After about 15 minutes of pressing on the sealer I finally heard a click and the sealer sealed. I have tried to seal food 5 different times and I have the same difficulty. I will be sending this sealer back.

I own a FoodSaver 4800 Series 2-in-1 Automatic Vacuum Sealing System. It cost more because it does more. More importantly, it vacuums the air of a bag and seals it right the first time. The VS1260 is a test in patience. No cutter is part of the issue but the crux is, it just won’t vacuum and seal without a LOT of fuss. I’d send this back and upgrade if I could
