[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wonder how I did without the FoodSaver. I purchase food in bulk and this machine gets a real work out around my home. After shopping for food, I seal and freeze at least 20 -30 individual serving size bags. I re-seal my deli meat and cheese bags, potato chip bags. I reseal daily. I am really happy how my fresh food, cheese,deli meat last longer in the refrigerator. I purchase the food saver containers too and cooked/fresh food seals in a snap. Overall within two months, my FoodSaver paid for itself. I would have given 5 stars but, I was a little unhappy with the food vac cord. It was suppose to re-track after you are complete. The first day I used my machine and it never retracted back. Which is fine, it just dangles on the side of the machine out of my way.. lol

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Jar attachment is the bomb, we go to the big box store and buy bulk dry goods, sugar, flour, cereals, fill up jars and put them in the pantry, no waste. The same with meat, buy in bulk, vacuum seal in meal size portions. Freeze soups in silicon bowls, pop out of bowls, vacuum seal for use later. No Waste !

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!

While there are only 2 of us now, my husband and I still buy meats and some other products in bulk. We had a regular food saver for years, but it finally died so I ordered this one and so proud I did. It took a minute for my old brain to figure it out, but once I did I fell in love with the sealing feature after cutting the roll. It is so handy just having to seal 1 side at the push of a button. We have saved so much money with our food saver. Have not used the jar sealer yet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love mine after @ 2 years started having issues so I need to send it in for service ( I’m told it would be replaced with a new unit actually and not repaired, how awesome) thankfully it has a 5 year warranty I’m told. But before I could send it off I bought a new one since I just can’t be without one fir the 2-4 weeks they say I can be without it. Oh well I’ll have a spare and I got it on sale

I purchased after owning a 4400 for 5 years and the 5460 could not even seal the bag correctly if there was even the slightest amount of liquid in what I was sealing. The solution per the company is to freeze before sealing. That solution is so time consuming that it makes using this product a waste.

I’ve owned 5 different foodsaver over 23 years and this is my favorite one. My favorite part is the vacuum chamber is higher than the stand which keeps liquid from being sucked into the tray whether I’m sealing large quantities of fresh meat or sealing a marinaded tri-tip or other protein.

Always wanted a foodsaver. Now that i have one I dont know how I went this long without one. I'm 70 now and quit most hunting and fishing and wish I would've had one earlier. I read plenty of reviews and picked the FoodSaver 5400. Wow what an awesome sealer. Even the wife found it easy to use.

The old unit we had was much easier to work. On this newer unit the Vacuum/Seal push bar is very cumbersome and sometimes difficult to push with the bag you are trying to seal laying on top and over the bar. The bag also needs to be lifted and supported sometimes, it sits in the unit too high.

I hate everything about this design. A waste of money for me. Way too complicated. Bags have to be held upward to be sealed, which is hard with food. My old food saver was so much easier to use. The open side makes it VERY Hard to keep clean in the kitchen as it’s a catch all for crumbs, dust, etc. Have only used this once. Don’t hav original box or would have sent it back. I will not be keeping this in my kitchen, I hate it that much.
