    The Food Saver is great. Whenever I get home from the grocery, I use it to vacuum seal meats to store them in our chest freezer. No freezer burn and works exactly as advertised.

    I love this Vacuum sealer, we researched for the best one for months, to make sure we wouldn't be wasting money. Kitts very easy to use and I live how it is designed to hold a roll, and it's always easy to see if your running low. I used this to package 120lbs of chicken.

    This device is well worth it’s price. If you buy in bulk and always see more in the trash due to expiration, this will save $$ beyond the initial cost. Awesome

    Works well...design is a little flawed.

    It mostly works pretty well. The bag maker and sealer on the bottom works great and I love that part of it. the vacuum/sealing portion on the top isn't the greatest design...you have to make your bags long enough in order to be able to easily use the top part. however I just pull out a wire rack and place it in front of the unit to make it so I have a platform to put my bag on right in front of the vacuum port. This way I can make the bags as small as they need to be and still be able to properly use the vacuum sealer. not sure if I explained that right but whatevs... I mean it works fine if you're able to figure out what's wrong when it's bring problematic and make the necessary adjustments to account. Oh, also the accessory unit doesn't work great. It's quite finicky. Sometimes it just refuses to vacuum the air out of the containers. when you can get it to work it works great, but it either sometime doesn't seal properly to create a solid vacuum, or it won't engage the rubber one-way valve on the container lid and thus it runs forever and does not vacuum the air from the container. you just have to re-adjust the positioning of the attachment on the lid and eventually it'll go. or just press harder.

    I purchased this after a number of years of considering a Food Saver system. I was recently divorced and trying to not let food go bad when only cooking for myself and my son became a problem. I purchased this so I could continue to buy the family pack of chicken breast and separate them into individual or 2 packs. I did not like freezer bags and wanted something that keeps out the freezer burn. These work great. Yes it is more work to take the package from the store and put into this, but everything looks great in my freezer and nothing has had freezer burn in the 2 months I have had it.

    I love this machine! I’m so glad we opted for this machine. We had done a lot of research. It’s super easy to use. The only thing I don’t like is that the bag has nothing to sit on when your are sealing. I just put a book under it.

    Everything works but it is a little bit difficult to hold bag and seal it at same time. Otherwise, its such a wonderful improvement overvold model

    Works as advertised. A little loud, but no more so than other units. This replaced an older "seal-a-meal" and works much better. I have no regrets purchasing this product. It also works well with other brands of bags.

    As a single person I needed a way to store and freeze smaller portions, while taking advantage of bulk prices... and this is it! Easy to use, works flawlessly and I have already noted a decline in freezer burn.

    We upgraded from an older version, and this was definitely worth getting. Better control of the sealing, lets you get more space from the bags. Really is a nice upgrade

    This vacuum sealer, seals fairly well but don’t count on a perfect fit every time although more testing is needed to see if it’s the bags or the vacuum sealer.

      Are you trying to seal moist items, such as unfrozen meats or fish? If so, try placing the meat or fish in a bag. Then, taking a paper towel and folding it in half twice, place it into the bag so it is between the item and where the bag is to be sealed. Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum channel, close the lid and start the vacuum / sealing process. The paper towel traps the excess liquids and won't affect the flavor of the food item. If the unit seals properly, then you should be able to vacuum / seal bags. You can also slightly pre-freeze meat or fish for 15-30 minutes in order to eliminate some of the juices.

      Are you trying to vacuum package items that are NOT moist? If so, test the bag by placing a spoon in it and place the end of the bag into the vacuum channel, close the lid of the unit and press the 'on' button. Lock the side clips or press down on the lid and allow the unit to go through the entire cycle. If the bag seals, then you are now able to vacuum / seal bags.

      If you are still needing assistance to get your FoodSaver to properly vacuum and seal, please call us at (877) 777-8042. You can reach us between the hours of 8AM-8PM EST Monday-Saturday. Foodsaver

    So far, this is meeting my expectations and then some: I bought the accessories to vac-seal glass canning jars, the ziplock bags, and plastic containers. They all work. I used the glass jars in my sous-vide to avoid heating plastic with food in it - This makes me very happy. I also vac-seal food in jars, if I want to extend the shelf life extra days.

    I have been wanting a food saver for several years now. I wish I would've bought one sooner. After only having it for about a month, it has already saved us money. It works on foods in both the refrigerator and freezer, and we are less apt to have to throw things out, now. It is very easy to use, and it looks nice on the counter. We keep it readily available so that it doesn't end up in the back of the cabinet unused.

    I purchased this as a Deal of the Day for $89 and after a bit of a learning curve in operation, compared to my previous sealer, I have no complaints. It works as advertised and Food Saver is still among my top choice when it comes to a residential style vacuum sealer. I would definitely recommend this product, if you are looking to seal your foods for a longer lasting freshness or vacuum and seal to freeze.
