FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer Machine, Automatic Bag Detection, Sous Vide Friendly, with sealer bags, roll, handheld vacuum sealer, black

First time user and I am addicted! This is the best thing ever! I can “vapor lock” all the things. Reseal chip bags, got liquid no problem, have soft stuff no problem. Best Buy ever. It has a permanent home on my counter top.

Got the used option, better condition than expected. Works great and came with all the accessories.

Works great and I found it easy to use. Buy extra bags you will need them!

Love it! Only thing I don’t like is that juices leak as the air is being sucked out. Can make a little mess.

This worked so well for me. I gave as a gift to 2 of my friends.

Just what I needed. Have already started filling my freezer from the garden.

I found these vacuum sealers a great addition to my kitchen. Use it all the time. It keeps my food fresh for extended periods of time in my freezer.

For over a decade, my trusty Food Saver was a kitchen workhorse, preserving leftovers, portioning meats, and keeping freshness locked in. So, when it finally gave up the ghost, I embarked on a mission to find its worthy successor. After much research, I settled with this vacuum sealer that promised advanced features and enhanced convenience. Unfortunately, my experience was far from perfect, and ultimately led to its return.It included an assortment of bag sizes, and I liked the integrated bag storage and cutter bar. These convenient features definitely felt like an upgrade. However, unlike my previous sealer, which operated with a simple button press, this model required a latch to be locked. And to me, that latch was surprisingly difficult to engage. The pressure required felt excessive and raised concerns about long-term usability, especially for those like me who have less hand strength.But the real disappointment came with the machine's primary function: creating a vacuum-tight seal. Eager to put it to the test, I vacuum-sealed several steaks. Initially, the process seemed successful. The machine whirred, the air was extracted, and the bag appeared securely sealed around the meat.Then, the very next day, I discovered the sealed bags had failed. The bags were no longer sealed around the steaks, but were loose. Not only was the bag no longer vacuum-sealed, but the seal itself was opened in some places along the seal line. The promise of long-lasting freshness was irrevocably broken.I had invested significant time and effort in researching and selecting this vacuum sealer, and I thought I was getting a good valuable product for the price point. This experience highlights the importance of functionality over flashy features. While the built-in storage and cutter bar were undeniably convenient, they were ultimately overshadowed by the machine's core flaw: its inability to create and maintain a reliable vacuum seal.Ultimately, the difficulty in locking the latch and the failure to properly seal bags rendered this vacuum sealer unusable for my needs.
