We did 4 bags and it never worked again. I send it to friends who own one, they never got it working. My unit only has a 1 year warranty and I had not needed it until now.

Flimsy. Never worked properly. Troubleshooting and on line help are terrible. Going to the junkyard

No hesitation, this is the second Foodsaver I've had so far!!!

Excellent product. Works great. Just as described.

Has this unit for a few years and it gets too hot, won't vacuum or seal until it cools down. Wates a lot of time and useless for doing larger batches which I often do

The only downfall is if you cut your own bags you need to leave about 2inches of hangover bag because you can the amount of excess bag after sealwd is about an inch and a half. I had the machine a step down from this one and was able to control how much of bag was wasted. Works great just seems to have much more wasted bag using this machine. Had i known i probably would not have upgraded. Will continue to use it though. I would recommend the smaller lower model machine if a friend where to ask me.

I've had a couple months of using this system now and I LOVE IT! It indeed does keep the food fresh longer, which is really important when one has to open a #10 can and can't possibly eat all that food anytime soon. It's also great for portion control to seal leftovers; my freezer is full of prepared meals now.

I have had this unit for several years now and since I bought it, sealing bags is hit & miss. Now I use an old bag that I've washed and do practise sealing (so the heating unit warms up) before I seal my food in a bag. Once frozen, I usually have to check to make sure the bag is still sealed, because you guessed it, a lot haven't sealed properly. I've looked on line for a replacement part, but even the company doesn't have (not happy with that). So I will eventually get fed up and just chuck this piece of c*@p. And, it wastes a lot of time, money and bags.
