I've had my FoodSaver a little over a month now and I've already begun realizing its benefits. I'm a bachelor, and I find it very difficult to find many vegetables and meats in small quantities. I have, for years, bought packaged spinach, salads, bacon, sausage and other foods in quantities that I knew would not last as long as I would be using them. I gave up buying heads of lettuce, and even onions and mushrooms since they would spoil long before I was able to use them. In addition, I like to make my own sauces, especially spaghetti sauce in a slow cooker then store it in the refrigerator (Don't tell me about storing it in the freezer; it ruins the sauces). A friend had been telling me for years that his FoodSaver was fantastic for saving produce and other foods. Finally, I decided to buy the FM5460 FoodSaver. I bought a bag of spinach the day the machine was delivered, almost a month to the day. I washed the spinach and put it in one of the FoodSaver canisters. I'm about 3/4 of the way through the spinach, used some today in a veggie omelette, and it's as fresh as the day I bought it. I used to store the spinach in a plastic food storage container, but by this time it would have been a gooey green mess. I also like to have my own fresh ranch salads, but, again, the greens would spoil within a week or so. I found myself buying a new bag of those about every ten days. I also like to put a few chrry tomatoes in the salad, and some grilled chicken. The leftover portion of chicken and the tomatoes usually spoiled within about a week. I bought some cherry tomatoes at the same time as I bought the spinach and grilled a chicken breast that same night. I've been very busy for the past couple of months and just haven't been able to fix my own meals, but the chicken and the tomatoes are still fresh in my FoodSaver containers! Amazing! No, I don't work for FoodSaver or anyone connected with them, but they've made this bachelor a happy man!

This product is the best vacuum food sealer I have ever used. It is easy to use. The motor is quiet compared to the other sealers I have used. The entire operation is very simple and the sealing is uniform with every bag. Definitely the best food sealer out there

Bought this as a replacement to one I bought over a decade ago. Very much improved over the years with ease of use, design. Looks nice on counted top and takes up very little space. Everything you need and use in one space. Very much worth the money and money you save. If into freezing or prolonged refrigerator life, definitely worth buying.

I bought this a couple of months ago and this machine is fantastic. I have saved so much food from lunch meat to fruit, bread veggies and more. The bags and containers that you can use with this machine are fantastic. Everything stays fresh, like you just bought it. The machine is easy to use with the containers and bags. I have use the container to marinate and it works fantastic with this machine. Its no louder that my other machine and is easy and quick to use.

I bought this to replace an older model that has been around for years. I love how this doesn't take up much room on the counter. Also love the features including the storage bags underneath that make it easy to pull forward and use. So glad I got this!

This has been a great purchase. The product preforms better than I thought it would. I especially love the retractile attachment for zipper bags, canisters and containers. The zipper bags keep our deli meats and cheese as fresh as the day we brought them home from the store. With the 3, 5, and 8 cup containers we are keeping our fruits, salads and veggies way longer. I would recommend this vacuum sealer to anyone that wants to save money on their food bill.

Our 5800 unit had an issue with the rollers in the bag making so replaced it with this simpler design. Bit more work to seal but OK, not so much to break. This is our fourth (maybe 5th) Foodsaver in over 30 years, hand-me-downed tothe kids when we upgraded. This is the first time we’ve had to replace due to a broken part. Great saver of food and money on food, we will always have a Foodsaver in the house.

I purchased the NEW Model more than a month ago & I'm more than Satisfied! I'd only had the older model for a few years, when the Newer 1 came out, but I wasn't in a position to Upgrade just yet, so I put it very near the Top of My Wish List! When the time came, I was SO ready & I passed the Older & Cherished Model down to My Grandson who came up under My Guidance & is now known as, 'Chef Al!' I'm a LIFE LONG CUSTOMER!! Thanx FoodSaver!!

I purchased my Foodsaver FM5460 2-in-1 Food Preservation System a little over a month ago and have practically used it everyday since. I love the way it looks and fits on my kitchen counter, not taking a lot of space. I love all of the features this 1 machine provides. I will be able to save a ton of money and waste less food. Very happy!

giving this a five star, but I do have to agree with others.. it is difficult to hold onto the bag you are vacuuming & sealing.. and pushing the bar to start the process... you need four hands. I finally figured out to set a bowl underneath what I am sealing to hold it while I push the bar to start.. suggest you fix this.
