    Very happy with this purchase. I have purchased food saver in the past and this model has some big improvements. Bag saver feature is great and unit works like a charm with no problems. I have used for a few months now.

    I was a little shocked when I saw the price tag. I thought someone made a mistake. It was around 83 dollars and this item sells for much more, So I bought it cause we needed one anyway. It works great as it should.

    Before getting this we used the standard freezer ziploc bags and after a while our meats became freezer burnt. Now we don't have that issue anymore. Can be hard sometimes to get the vacuum to pull all of the air out but if you catch it in time you can just move bag around and restart sealing process.

    Perfect at home system. Spent the extra money for the extra features. Not one complaint. I love how this machine makes bags as compared to other vacuum sealers.

    This device will save you so much money that you'll be asking yourself what took me so long to buy this. It very efficiently keeps food fresh, and free of freezer burn.

    It has a learning curve and I wasted about 1/4 of the roll figuring it out. It would not seal so I left it alone went to bed and the next day it started working fine. just wish the replacement rolls where cheaper.

    Been using foodsavers for decades. I enjoy the sealer being raised but miss the reason why... the pulsevac! Bring it back! Like the seal the next bag feature and the less bag waste even in the actual sealing. Awkward to place the bag in the seal with the "pac-man" mouth that holds the roll. The end keeps retracting making it a hit or miss since you cannot hold it there because you can't fit your hand to hold it in place.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I'm am pleased with this product, but only four stars for the reason of not being able to seal bread without it crushing it. Over all happy though.

    The sealer sometimes has to be done a second time and that can be frustrating. But overall works as advertised.

    It performs as advertised, though aligning the sleeves so that there are no air leaks and there is no waste of material can be a bit annoying.
