I recently purchased this unit to replace my older one as I was tired of wasting bag material and this unit offered to save me that waste. After having this one for almost a month, I can honestly say that it does what I needed/wanted it to do. I can customize the bag size to more accurately accommodate what I'm sealing without the wasted bag material of previous models. If you're tired of wasting bag material, this is the unit you need.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just had a chance to use my newy purchased fm5460 FoodSaver machine. I had an old vacuum sealer machine and it was okay but wasn't that great. This one is awesome! Bag making feature is easy and convenient. Pulse vacuum seal feature LOVE. AND I LOVE resealable quart bags that you use assessory vacuum pump on. Great when you buy in bulk to freeze/store food for later use. Love everything about it!

The foodsaver fm5460 is a great vacuum and seal system i use it primarily for wild game. I used it for the first time on a whitail deer I packaged the whole deer with no issues. It works really well with the bag rolls which allows you to make any size bag. I gave it five stars because it is easy to use and it vacuums and seals the way it should flawlessly.

after reading other reviews i was worried about it taking 3 or 4 hands to work it. i was vary impressed with how fast it made bags from rolls. and vacuum sealing was easy just get the bag in the center of the window . hit the bar/button and the lid comes down by itself and holds the bag tight.

It has the perfect balance between automation, manual operation and convenience. It makes my Sous Vide cooking possible, and Sous Vide has changed my diet and life for the better! It's all good... : ) The only thing I wonder is: how long will it last?

Our new FoodSaver we bought is easier to use than our old one that we had for along time. We buy fresh cut meat at our local butcher shop and cook homemade meals so we don't have to buy the frozen dinner meals. We are eating healthier meals by using the FoodSaver and saving money at the same time. Thank You FoodSaver !!

After doing over a year of research and watching countless video's I settled on the FM5460. This appliance has already saved me money the first month with keeping our food fresh just by not having to drive 40 miles round trip to the store out in the country. My wife loves to be able to go to the freezer and see thru the bags on what she wants to cook for dinner. The pulse system is one of the best features for our family and that equals fresh sealed bread and cookies. Having a daughter in college that visits on weekends we can seal a bag of goodies to take back with her. Most of the good reviews that you have read was spot on about the FM5460 so it's so hard to add.

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my wife. We absolutely love it. We also use it way more often than anticipated. The tool is very user friendly and looks great on the counter. I would recommend it to anyone. If I must have one Con about it, that would be that when vacuuming, it is on the loud side. But I understand vacuum pumps and this does not bother me at all. I know it is going to work well.

Nice machine- poorly designed, the vacuum surface is 3.5" from the counter surface so sealing a bag with any weight requires a platform so you can use 2 hands to activate the sealer- the cord storage will only hold 2/3 of the cord- Poor design Matt

I purchased one recently. I was a bit hesitant to use it the first time. Didn't want to spend time "learning the ropes" and "reading tedious instructions." Turns out, it's quite "user-friendly" and in moments I was happily using it, and correctly, might I add.
