[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far I love this sealer. Its got every feature I had wished my previous vacuum sealer had, which I used for 5 years and it still worked when I gave it to a family member. This sealer is so easy to use. It's more convenient and doesn't take up that much counter space. Can store rolls, cut bags without removing roll. Has built in adapter for the zipper type bags or containers. Pulse mode for if your are sealing breads or soft items you don't want smashed. So many options and if my last sealer is any indication of quality I'm know I won't be disappointed.

I have owned FoodSavers for years now and have been happy overall with it. But, then I saw this new model and had to have it. And am I glad I did. They didn't just change a couple of minor things and change the appearance. They rebuilt it from the bottom up and I can't believe how much they improved it. It's truly a new machine that is even easier to use. If yours is starting to get old and needs replacement, get this one. You will be very happy with this new machine. I'm glad I did.

Many years ago I owned a Seal-a-Meal system. Was so happy to find FoodSaver when I could no longer find bags for Seal-a-Meal. FoodSaver turns out to be a better system with a lot more options. I am so happy, have given several FoodSavers as gifts and recommend often.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my FoodSaver FM 5460 a little over a year ago and it was one of the best investments I ever made. Storing meat (especially the bones from a leg of lamb... I love to make Shish Kebob) in the freezer is way more efficient and lasts longer. I love the accessaries included, especially the bottle top. Opened wine bottles last so much longer.....Once again, smartest thing I ever bought.

Bought this over a year ago and was giving it some time to see if any issues arise. Happy to say not a single one, this model has been nothing short of amazing, love the hand held attachment, the big see through window for sealing and the quick and accurate bag making process. I love my Foodsaver Machine!!

the first one we bought did not work at all, so we exchanged it. The second one worked the first time I used it, but has not worked since. We are returning it. We still have our Professional III, and the quality is much better on the older model than on the new on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The foodsaver vacuum system is a sealing system that allows you to store food in the fridge or freezer for a longer period of time than normal. while we did not test every feature of the system we did try it for a few food items. The first was storing shredded cheese . Store bought shredded cheese contains preservatives. A more natural approach would be to shred the cheese at home and store it. We tried cheddar cheese and the food saver did a great job. We kept the sealed cheese in the fridge and freezer. It came out fresh tasting and not soggy. We also tried storing cut up Avocados that had been sealed with the food saver. They stayed fresh for a week. Normally cut Avocados get brown over night. I can see a number of uses for the food saver that will allow us to keep food fresh and save money. I have thought of a number of uses for the foodsaver that I plan on trying next. For example I plan to cut up meat and veggies and seal them for fajita night. That way instead of take out I have a meal ready to warm up and it will taste as fresh as the day I cooked it. As a disclaimer, we did receive the foodsaver as a sample for review.

I bought the FM 5200, which was my second FoodSaver, and it sealed the first 2 bags. After that, the machine would not take all of the air out of the back. It started to and the motor kept going but no air was being removed. I tried everything and cleaned everything even though the machine was like brand new. Why does it do this?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the overall look of this product. It is a bit bulky but otherwise, it is modern and sleek. The instructions were easy to follow and made it easy to vacuum seal my meat without any mess. I also used it to store other pantry items. This food sealer is a good quality and seems quite durable. I really enjoy cooking for days ahead, so I am looking forward to using this vacuum sealer for help with planning and freezing meals. This product was received in exchange for my honest review. I would recommend this item because it allows me to cook larger quantities and freeze a portion of it for later meals and without all the mess.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this foodsaver to replace an old foodsaver that we really loved. The new machine has many new features that our old one didn't have. It is easier to make new bags and easier to vacuum and seal our food. Everything is at the touch of your fingers.
