I’ve used other food Savers in the past, not always your brand and they have been ok. The Food Saver I purchased through you is wonderful. Easier and faster to operate. Only thing is if your doing a great amount of sealing the machine needs to cool or rest for a short time between. Thank you

Works well but a difficult to understand instructions. (Seal bottom, roll out, allow enough bag with at least 5” extra, cut, fill bag, Vac, Seal top.) Had an older unit that was easier to use. Vertical design wastes more bag material, but built in cutter, vacuum hose & bag roll storage are good features. Read instructions thoroughly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really nice FoodSaver model. I had a really old model that wasn't very convenient to use. The 5460 is a lot easier and has some neat features. I like the way it grabs the bag when it starts sucking the air out. I don't have to hold onto the bag and can just let it do it's thing. When it's complete, the bag is released.

BOUGHT THIS FOR ME AND MY WIFE FOR CHRISTMAS 2016. WE HAVE USED IT A FEW TIMES AND IT IS SO EASY TO SETUP AND USE. I LOVE THE WAY YOU JUST SLIDE THE NEW SEAL ROLLS IN FROM EITHER SIDE OF SEALER, AND THE BUILT IN BAG CUTTER. WE ARE WAITING ON SUMMER TO GET FRESH VEGIES TO REALLY SEALING SOME GOOD FOOD.

I like the two separate sealing areas - one for creating the bag and one for the sealing in of the product. I like the viewing area where you place the bag to be sealed. This ensures that there is enough material to make a seal. I feel like I am not wasting as much of the material as I did with my older model. I have not been happy with the sealing of anything even slightly moist. I have used the paper towel method, but even that doesn’t allow for a good seal. I liked how our older model would automatically switch to the ‘moist’ option.

This week I have wraped, steak, bread, for freezing, important documents, and resealed my dehydrated prep main meals to use next week, and my snack crackers. The new sealer in this unit is wider and makes a better seal than the 20 year old FoodSaver my mother gave me, Yes it still worked after 20 years. I have been exparimenting with sealing the original packaging, and been happy to see it work on chips, crackers and more. If you find it on sale, or can add it to your grocery budget I recommend for great savings.

I really like this new vacuum sealer. My old food saver lasted me over 10 years of rough use. This newer version has all the features that I wanted in the old one. The ability to pre cut and seal the bags before sealing the food, has been a great time saver.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The machine was easy to set up and easy to use. Was a little surprised at the amount of noise made during the vacuum sealing because none of the research I did mentioned it. It's similar to a vacuum cleaner. The bags we made have worked very well. Haven't tried the container vacuum yet. Overall it was a good purchase.

I replaced an older model and this is a wonderful upgrade. It is quieter and making bags is much easier, without the time delay in waiting to seal. The only problem I have is that getting the sealing process to start requires both hands, which is a bit awkward. Still, this is better than the version I had!

This is the fourth food saver product I've owned. It's a little different than my other ones, but the more I use it I like it a lot better. I really like the separate feature for making new bags. Also the button to let you seal dry or moist food. I live on a farm so this product gets a work out with garden vegetables and meat.
