I previously owned a 2000 series refurbished as I did not want to invest alot in case it set in the closet until the next church yard sale. I loved it! The only thing missing was vacuum override to seal before crushing food. I decided to purchase the 5460 model for pulse vacuuming. I sent my 2000 to my daughter and several times have wished I had sent her the 5460. Several reasons: bag storage is nice, cutting blade is good feature but I like to double seal and this one requires seal, open, pull bag a small amount, close seal. Pulling out the bag can be difficult because sometimes it sticks to seal gasket. This machine requires you to start the vacuum process then override to get second seal. Have tried just seal button but get nothing. Since you can stop the vacuuming by hitting seal to avoid crushing bread, etc. the pulse vacuum is really not a needed feature in my opinion. Liked the 2000 because you hit seal and sealed. The design looks nice but would rather have sealer lower to counter. Holding the bag where it needs to be and starting the vacuum process can be a bit tricky if you have physical limitations with your hands, also using more bag material. Like retractable wand for vacuuming bags and containers but it was very hard to separate the tube(was afraid I would end up breaking it.) Just little comments: would never have bought a bottle or jar sealer so including them for me was not a big deal, also coupons included had a 20% off on a machine. I just bought one so again useless. I will keep the machine (I used the box to ship my old one lol) and will update my review should my opinions change as I use it. Love a foodsaver for preparing meals ahead of time, making bulk purchases. Do wish they would have more kinds of rewards and not be out of stock on so many. I am giving my honest opinion as it stands now and I purchased my machine it was not given to me to use and review. Hope this helps. Sometimes simpler is better.

I have a much earlier mode of Food Saver and liked it pretty well but when I saw the Model FM5200 I had to upgrade and super happy I did. I purchased my FoodSaver (Model FM5200) July 20, 2018 and wish I had purchased it way before then. I fully believe that it has already paid for itself. I highly recommend this model (FM5460) it looks the same as the FM5200.

Bought this one a few years ago great to have if u catch lot of fish keeps them great in freezer , save money buying bulk at places like Costco &freezing in smaller quantities. Have been using food saver for many years never had a problem with any of them that I couldn't fix easily in a few minutes by simply cleaning them would highly recommend them they pay for themselves in savings

This is the third Food Saver I have owned. The first two are still working at my other home. This model is terrible and stopped working 1 month after i purchased it. the design is really bad as well. the bottom sealer never worked right and the vaccum sealer stopped working after just 1 month. Get any model but this one.

I've had a food saver of one kind or other for over 20 years. Every other year my wife and I get a side of beef and a whole pig and we vacuum pack every bit of it. The savings is better than expected. When they say food lasts 5x longer they're right, I've had steaks last over a year. Thanks FoodSaver.

I bought this model when I decided to upgrade from my old one. I’ve had this model for just over a year and it only will suck the air out of 2 bags, I have to let it set a few minutes then try again, if I’m lucky, it will do another couple bags. I have to continue this cycle till I’m done. Sometimes I have to quit and let it rest for about 10 minutes before it will start working again. It seems to be getting worse. My old model worked for me for about 5 years without any issues. I gave it away when I got my new one...sure wish I still had it. The new one is not what it should be. Very disappointed

Bought this today. Looked pretty nice, but... Plugged it in to test the vacuum. It was way too loud!!! The vacuum was way too low. Only drew 17hg vs my old professional II that draws a little over 20hg. Also discovered the bag roll is too small for 50ft rolls. Taking it back tomorrow. Disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 15 yrs, with old one I upgraded for features and Freebies so glad I did.. This one is much easier to use. With containers and bags you can freeze for years. Also works great with dehydrated foods for indefinite storage. Great for bulk purchase and batch cooking as cooking is a hobby..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is the answer to my prayers. Initially, I was interested in buying special storage containers instead of using regular sandwich/freezer bags. The vacuum sealer does an excellent job in sealing food and in keeping it fresh. I used it on a piece of chicken cooked recently. When I took it out of the sealer a couple of days later, the chicken tasted like it had just been cooked that day. Though the machine may look complex, it is easy to use. It does not take a lot of time and effort to use. All in all, I would defintely say that this is well worth the investment. Disclaimer: I received this item as a product to test

Simply put, the unit is not at all intuitive to use, even after carefully reading the instructions. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't, performing the same steps. Do yourself a favor and purchase a different model, or a different brand!
