[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm now a believer that "Foodsaver" is the #1 vacuum sealing system. I love the space saving sleek design. I can easily store it in my cabinet or leave it on my kitchen counter. Very easy to use in 3 steps. First you fill your bag and place it into the removable drip tray. Next, press the lid to lock it. Lastly, press the Vac/Seal button. That's it! Highly recommend this if you want to keep your food fresher longer or prevent freezer burn.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have chosen this food saver in order to save myself some food costs. Over the past year or two food prices have gone up. What better way to save money than to save most of your leftovers via this handy food saver that is so easy to use. It seals your leftovers in two sizes of bags. If you are a fisherman or hunter you can store the catch of the day in these without having to worry about freezer burn or spoilage. It is very economical. Nothing is worst than wasting food these days. I can now rest assured that more food is not being thrown out or dumped off to the compost bin. I am glad to have been able to see how this works because I am not having any trouble using it. It is a smaller sealer so it will fit on top of your refrigerator or somewhere like that.

I bought the first sealer which worked for about a week. They sent me a replacement sealer which doesn't work correctly. The accessory attachment don't work well and are extremely difficult to connect. I also bought sealer containers which do not hold the seals. Basically, everything sucks. Don't waste your money.

I HAVE NOT HAD A SINGLE PROBLEM SINCE I STARTED USING IT. THE SEAL IS VERY STRONG AND THE IT REALLY TAKES OUT ALL THE AIR. WISH I HAD THIS PRODUCT SOONER.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my food saver. It helps me buy and freeze bulk meats without worry of it going to waste before use. I love that you can buy pre sized bags or customize them to your needs it sucks out the air and creates a prefect vacuum seal. It is very easy to use kids even like to help you use it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a money and time saver! My family uses it weekly when we buy meat in bulk that we won't use by the expiration! It is so easy to use and such a money saver! The freezer meat does not get any frostbite, stays fresh!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's easy to use and only takes a few minutes from start to finish. It keeps foods fresh longer and I'm not throwing food away anymore. I'm now able to buy in bulk and freeze meats that won't get freezer burn. It's easy to store under my cabinet when I'm done using it. I honestly think everyone should have 1 in there home it's a must have in my opinion!

I have had great success in the past as I freeze a lot of what we produce.This,so-called space saver takes up more room because now I have to find other places to put the roll of plastic and it is much slower hand cutting with scissors. The older models were much more efficient.The vacuum motor is weak and only some of the bags seal and even then ,many still have some air in them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Foodsaver VS1210 helps extend the life of food by vacuum sealing and the machine doesn’t take up too much room. I like that the machine can be stored flat or vertically, which makes it easy to put away the Foodsaver when not in use. The downside of this being a space saving version of a Foodsaver is that it doesn’t have a bag or roll cutter installed inside. I don’t mind just using a pair of scissors instead and rather have a smaller machine. The machine is easy to use with just three buttons. I like that it also has the ability to use other Foodsaver accessories in addition to sealing bags. It did not take much of a learning curve to use this machine. I don’t find it any less powerful than full size Foodsavers. One negative of this machine is that it does require a bit of muscle strength to lock the machine down before being able to use it. The cover has to be pressed on both sides before you can start to seal or vacuum which might be difficult for some people with strength issues. The Foodsaver is useful to store groceries in the freezer and to separate up items bought in bulk. I also like to use it to seal things like bags of chips and other snacks. I think this is a good vacuum sealer overall and especially good if you are low on space and want one with a smaller footprint.

It burns through the packaging every time. It doesn’t vacuum seal anything.
