[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Initially I had some concern being that this was a lot smaller than other models I’ve seen. However, this was definitely a misplaced concern! I have a large family (6 children four of wich are teens!) so I’m always tempted to buy grocery deals whenever I find it. I’ve always been hesitant because while zipper bags are great, it can definitely leave some air in the bag and lead to some freezer burn. That’s definitely a thing of the past! It lines up the bag perfectly, you lock it down, and the air is removed from the bag simply and easily! It does take the eight inch bags )which is definitely not a issue for me) and let’s you get pretty gourmet if you use the Sous vide cooking method. Definitely a great investment if you’re looking to extend the life of your bulk food purchases. Fantastic product and an absolute space saver over other models of space is limited or you simply want to tuck it into a drawer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only ever used food saver brand for vacuum sealing because it is the best. I got this smaller version for my sister because she never had one because she doesn’t have a lot of room or thought she really needed one. This looks a a great smaller, simpler version, & it’s easy to use for someone that’s never used vacuum sealers before.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m glad I got this fruit saver. Product works really good on my meat whenever I come home from the grocery store. I just pop them in a bag and storm away and I definitely will recommend this product to my friends and my family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Exactly what I needed! I needed to save various types of food long term in the freezer and this works great. The pouches are easy to prep and can be reused if needed which is a great feature. The instructions are easy to follow and make this a very simple process.

I got this as a present, and I finally took it out to use it. Very disappointed. I would never waste my money on this product. I hate that you have to scan a code to get the directions which isn’t the biggest deal in the world just annoying. It takes forever to seal something, and you have to push extremely hard for it to even work. If it wasn’t a gift, I would bring it back to the store. Don’t waste your money.

I have a VS1230 model, about a year and a half old. The suction has completely stopped working and when I try to put my warranty claim in after going through their list of trouble shooting methods, they tell me the date code is invalid, even though it is on both the original box and the prong of the outlet plug. Clearly getting themselves out of honoring their warranty! Will not do business with FoodSaver again!

I have had this for about 6 months to replace a much larger vacuum sealer that I had for several years that had finally stopped working. It is so compact and convenient that I love it and will never go back to the much larger appliance. Great Job!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a family of three I always feel like I waste that extra steak or piece of meat, So I got this vacuum sealer to be able to seal that extra piece and get an extra meal for one or an extra meal when I add all the extras together. Its quick, doesn't take any time to heat up, easy to use, and comes with everything I needed to get started. I love that its small and fits right in the cabinet when I'm finished with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The FoodSaver VS1210 Space Saving Vacuum Sealer is super easy to use once you get the hang of it. By that I mean making sure the bag is in the proper spot before sealing or using the vac feature. There were times where I would notice it wasn't vacuuming out the air, in that case I just opened up the top and re-positioned the bag and it worked again. I really like that it comes with bags to get you started on the process which allows you to learn how to use the bags and also cutting and sealing to make your own bags using the rolls. It comes with a little hose too just in case you have to Foodsaver containers. Its very slender and doesn't take up much room on the counters.

I bought this in April of this year because I wanted one that is on hand quickly, I use the V3240 for all my heavy duty sealing such as meat and items from the garden. The V3240 is the best and I thought the VS1260 would help with the little stuff. It worked great the first few times I used it and now it “sucks” and I’m not talking about the air. I do know how to use these and only use Food Saver bags and this one no matter how I put it in it will not suck out the air even after running a few minutes. I’m very disappointed as I have always loved my Food Savers and this is the first one to disappoint. I will definitely be contacting customer service hopefully it is just a defective one because I loved the idea of having one on hand quickly.
