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

This is a very nice and sturdy Food Saver which really works, sucking the air and sealing nicely. I had to return a couple of other Food Saver machines before this one as they were sealing before all the air was sucked out, one definitely had a issue as in it was not working as designed. Anyway, I am hoping this one lasts as long as the Food Saver before this one which I am having to replace, that one kept going for about 8 or 9 years until the closure knob on the side broke. I still like that way of closure though as opposed to pushing down on both sides of the machine. Lastly, I love the option to MOISTURE seal and DRY seal. I did not have that on my last machine and the Moisture option does work nicely for foods like chicken thighs, etc. Anyway, AIRTIGHT!

Let's be honest, I was skeptical. My kitchen is already full of unitasker gadgets that promised the world and now live in a dark cupboard. But after throwing away one too many bags of freezer-burned chicken breasts and stale cheese, I decided to take a chance on a basic FoodSaver vacuum sealer. And wow, am I ever glad I did! This isn't some fancy, Bluetooth-connected, space-age appliance. It's a straightforward, incredibly effective machine that does one job and does it perfectly: it removes air from bags. That's it. And that's its genius. Here’s why I’m obsessed: ➤ Effortlessly Simple to Use: I was sealing my first bag within 5 minutes of unboxing. You just place the open end of the bag into the channel, press down the latch until it clicks, and hit the button. The machine does the rest—sucking out all the air and sealing the bag with a perfect, airtight weld. It’s so intuitive my technophobe partner used it without even asking for instructions. ➤ It Actually Works (Shockingly Well): The proof is in the pudding—or in my case, the frozen salmon. I used to dread the icy, crystallized mess that came out of my freezer. Not anymore. I vacuum-sealed some fresh fish, forgot about it for two months, and when I thawed it, it looked and tasted like I had just bought it. The difference is night and day. No more freezer burn. Ever. ➤ Saves Money & Reduces Waste: This is the biggest win. I can now buy meat in bulk when it's on sale, divide it into portions, and seal it without fear. That giant bag of coffee grounds? Sealed shut, it stays fragrant for weeks. That half an onion I never know what to do with? Throw it in a small bag and seal it for tomorrow's omelet. My grocery bill has gone down, and my guilt over throwing away food has completely vanished. ➤ Surprisingly Versatile: Beyond the basics, I've started marinating steaks in minutes instead of hours (the vacuum process pulls the marinade right into the meat!) and I’ve even sealed important documents and first-aid supplies for camping to protect them from moisture. It’s a handy tool far beyond the kitchen. The bottom line: Don't be fooled by its simple design. The basic FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer is a powerhouse of practicality. It doesn't have a million settings because it doesn't need them. It's reliable, durable, and it solves a real, everyday problem beautifully. If you're on the fence, just get it. This unassuming little machine has quietly become the most valuable player in my kitchen. It just works, and it works with ease. Five stars without a doubt.

This is an awesome device! This model holds the rolls of bags, and has an integrated bag cutter, unlike what you buy from other places. We really like the flexibility of making the size bag we need from rolls, but also love the boxes of pre-made bags because the bottoms are already sealed and it saves a seal step for each bag. Having the easy ability to do both custom bags from rolls and boxed same size bags and not needing a pair of scissors to use the rolls is super advantageous of this model. We always buy value packs of chicken and beef, and also make food for my service dog from fresh food, and this device is perfect for separating the food into servings and putting in the freezer. No more zip-style bags with air gaps, and a longer safe freeze period. We only wish we had this device sooner!

This vacuum sealer is good, but it's a bit slow and needs to cool down between each seal just a little. Since we've bought it, we've had to replace the gaskets twice now. We've done a quite a lot of sealing with it; 4 or 5 boxes worth of the Costco vac-bags. The seal strip is inconsistent with its effectiveness. It isn't very expensive and has done a lot of work for what we've paid for it. This makes long term freezing of meats far more palatable and has saved us money. We'll see how much longer it lasts, I'm worried eventually a gasket seal won't be what it needs.

The FoodSaver is fabulous! It was incredibly easy to set up and use. From the moment I opened the box, I had it assembled and was vacuum sealing food within 30 minutes. It’s intuitive, efficient, and exactly what I was hoping for. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a simple, reliable vacuum sealer.

This is my second food saver in 10 years!!!! bought the amazon basics version; the other day for emergency.... OMG... Impossible to return because it does NOT WORK. Don't get the knock offs. .... cost me $35 and returning it is a friggen nightmare to return. First Foodsaver lasted me for almost ten years and worked like a beast.!!!! ((I freeze A LOT). This one performed well on day one.... let's see how it will keep performing... hopefully like the second one performs like a Beast like the first one,,

I am a single person who cooks. More often than not, the meals I make are for 2 or more servings so I was getting in the habit of eating frozen meals more often than cooking because of the waist or not wanting to eat the same thing two to four days in a row. Now I can cook what I want and put the additional servings in the freezer for a much later date. I can buy larger options like discounted family packs of pork chops or ham and store them in single size portions. I can make chili or jambalaya and portion out leftovers into single serving sizes that store in the freezer. Additionally, this makes food options for camping and overlanding much better. I can take pre-made homecooked meals with me and prepare them quickly at camp instead of the dehydrated options that are overpriced. This has already paid for itself just on the food I haven't had to throw away.

Had the same model for 14 years. Bought a different brand it didn’t vac or seal anywhere near the Food Saver. Found the same model if FS which has a few upgrades and bought it. Back in business it vaca string and seals it well. Great buy and it is so reliable and keeps food from freezer burn.

Funciona exactamente para lo que te imaginas, guardar absolutamente cualquier cosa al vacío. Un consejo para los que van empezando, yo primero pensé que había algún defecto porque no se lleva bien cuando ya tenía los alimentos dentro de la bolsa, lo que estaba ocasionando el inconveniente era que yo cortaba muy cortas las bolsas, hay que dejarle tantito más largo para que se pueda acomodar bien el plástico y quedarse sellado. Este es un producto que la marca se especializa en esto y se nota.

Upgraded from an old version. This new one works so much better, Really sucks all the air out. Food lasts much longer.

Sirvió perfecto

J’en ai essayé plusieurs et celui-ci fonctionnait enfin correctement. Bonne marque.

Easy to use and seal food
