I have used FoodSaver products for many years and absolutely love them. They are easy to use and save me quite a bit of money by prolonging the life of many foods. My most recent one is the FM5400 Series. It is lightweight and compact. I use it almost every day and love it.

Had been using the Food Saver V4260 for years without problems. Purchased the FM5460 and sure don't care for it. Area where the bags are inserted is too high, bag will fall out, necessary for me to put bag into FS and pull the FS towards my body to keep bag into place so you can turn on. Do not like that you have to press both sides to operate. Do like--when bag is sealed, it pops out. FS is an excellent product and a good name, however this product probably will not appeal to many. Too hard to use. Also, can cut my own bags and seal without the extra bag sealer. Not needed.

I bought this a month ago and immediately stocked the freezer. I had the older model for along time but the upgrade is so much better with the bag storage and bag maker. Also have the attachment on the machine makes it so much easier. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for money saving great solution for there kitchen needs. (Or more works great on other handy little household items)

So for I'm not impressed.It will not get all the air out of the bag when putting up hamburger meat or chopped steak.I called and they told me to put the bag in to the bottom of drip tray but that still does not work.They said try a spoon to see if it pulled a vacuum and it did, but I don't freeze spoons to eat.

I purchased the food saver since I was tired of trimming off the freezer burn on the meat I froze or worst yet I had to throw it away. I used the bags I bought some of them didn’t seal tight but I was able to cut the seal off and seal it again didn’t know what was up with that I ending up holding the bag and my husband pressed the bar to start the sealing this worked better if my meat doesn’t get freezer burn the hassle was worth it

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?

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.

I replaced a small machine with this one (kept in cabinet, inconvenient, etc.). This one is SO simple and convenient, works perfectly, and I already use it way more than I used my compact machine. The handheld sealing attachment is always connected and retracts into the front of the machine, so it's quickly available without searching for hoses and struggling to connect them. Making bags is simple and intuitive and is a game changer if you've never had this feature. I'm very happy with this machine!

I really love this model. When making bags it uses much less material on the seal than my older model (which gave up after many years of service). I use this very often in the spring and summer as my veggies start ripening and I need to freeze them. All year long I use it for the bulk items I buy as I only shop once a month and if I bake something (like kiffels) I will leave some out and freeze the rest . I reuse bags that have been used for veggies or baked goods so the fact that the seal is less now and where I want it is a big plus. The added gadget to seal the special bags and canisters is very handy. I use these to keep fresh items I will not freeze but want to keep during that month between shopping trips. All in all well worth the money and for me it pays for itself in a short time.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago. This is my 4th Foodsaver and they are all still working fine. My friends inherited them when I moved up to other features. I wanted the pulse shrink on this one. My last one was easier to work and I actually liked it better. Some of the features I'm not real thrilled with. It's still a fine unit. I have to agree that balancing the bag while activating the shrink feature it a bit of a pain but I finally got that down. Also the new bag holder does not appeal to me. My roll has slid out often while moving the unit. But I would never buy another brand. My friend had a Cabala brand. I bought this one because I was not going to go though all the work and hassle to use that one.
