Customer Reviews

I love it
I could not be happier with this Foodsaver. My intent was to reduce my trips to the grocery store, and this was absolutley the answer for me.
The unit works flawlessly on the both the bags and the canisters. I've bagged chicken, steak, and ground chuck with no hassle. (I did pat the chicken a bit with paper towels to prevent the 'juice' from getting sucked into the seal.)
I've repackaged buns and rolls into smaller portions by freezing them first before vacuuming. (Note: don't let the machine cut itself off on auto, or the frozen buns will get crushed. Just press the Seal button again to shut off manually.)
But my FAVORITE use has got to be using the canisters for sealing lettuce, celery and tomatoes. Lettuce and celery has lasted three weeks without any rusting or rot.
I've read where tomatoes last longest at room temperature, (not refrigerated), but my test tomato left out on the counter got soft and rotted while my vacuum sealed tomatoes in the refrigerator are still firm after two weeks.
Also: Any bags that weren't used for freezing meat can be reused. (I make my own from the roll; it's cheaper.)
Also: Any open chip or snack bags can be resealed without vacuuming. I even resealed the bag inside the cereal box. (using less heat.)
After inepecting all the other optons, (green bags, Everfresh containers, etc.), I'm very happy to have chosen this Foodsaver. Money well spent.

Vacuum Machine review
This product is very user friendly. Just one touch of a couple of buttons and it vacuums and seals all at once. The only problem with this unit is that it uses about 1 1/2" of the bag to make the seal. I don't know if this is standard for all brands or not. I'm very happy with this product and would recommend it to everyone.
