Foodsaver Handheld Cordless Food Vacuum Sealer Machine | With Charging Dock, 1 Vacuum Container And 10 Zipper Vacuum Bags | Vs1199 | Black/Silver

The grown-up, top of the range FFS017 vacuum sealer has been a much used and welcome kitchen gadget, primarily for long-term freezer or chilled/ambient storage predominantly utilising the rolls, at suitable lengths and the bags. The integrated hand held sealer is, as stated on the tin, great with the zipper bags and the containers. However, for shorter-term, almost every-day use, such as prepared salad items stored under vac in the fridge in appropriate sized containers, the big boy mains sealer is slightly irritating, as it stored in a cupboard when not in use, has to be bought down, plugged in, used, and put away again — perhaps for one container or zipper bag. The handheld cordless on the other hand, sits happily and discreetly in its charger, is ready for immediate use, and performs well on the containers and zipper bags. Though possibly less powerful than the mains powered FFS017, if the usage instructions/advice are followed does the job it is intended for adequately and with less fuss than its big brother. Would recommend this to anyone that is serious about vaccing for storage and daily use. As a bonus of course, food waste, of which so much seems to generated unnecessarily, is considerably reduced.

Product is easy to use, great for camping. Put on charger for 24 hours before using the first time.

Absolutely brilliant. I have a full size Foodsaver unit and the bags cost £16 so this is a fantastic deal as you get a separate container as well. Perfect for keeping numerous items fresh for longer, and the container is excellent for maintaining the quality of salads.

I had this gadget for over a year and loved it so I bought 4 of these for Xmas presents. I was disappointed that when my family and friends opened their present they found a UK power plug rather than the Aussie plug. It was embarrassing for me as they could not use the gift for quite some time and also they had to go and buy an adaptor. If I knew this before ordering I would have bought them from an Australian supplier but then I thought that Amazon au is an Australian supplier maybe the adaptor should have been included in this case. The product itself is fantastic & once my family & friends got the adaptor they loved it too, I just hated the embarrassment at the time.

So far very happy, works on my existing FoodSaver containers as well as vacuum bags. Only issue indicator light doesn't go off or change when fully charged and no indicator of charge level when in use, but otherwise works well.
