The quick part of my review then I'll add more about my experience after:
1: It is very easy to use. It took me a few attempts at first but that was because I didn't read the instructions first. The most important thing I found is rough side of the bag down.
2: It takes up very little space. As per my picture it fits nicely out of the way in the side of the drawer where I keep my plastic wrap, foil, and such.
3: Easy to maintain, take the drip tray out and toss it in the dishwasher.
4: It works fairly quick. About 10 seconds to seal one end of a bag if you are using the rolls. Then about 15-25 seconds to vacuum and then seal it closed depending on the size of the item being sealed. I've not actually timed it so what I stated is approximate.
5: Normally I try to find at least one negative when I review a product to be fair and honest. But with this I have nothing significant to mention. I guess one is it takes a bit of pressure on each side of the sealer to close fully before using but it but nothing really difficult.
6: One other tip I have to avoid liquids getting into the sealer and drip tray is to put fish and other meat in the freezer for about an hour and a half before sealing. Then seal it and freeze. Works great for me.
This has been a great purchase as someone that lives alone because I can take better advantage of sales on food. When there is a really good sale on fresh fish and other meats I can stock up, vacuum seal them and freeze for later. Sure I could just toss the food in a basic freezer bag but that usually just ends up with ice crystals forming on it and the quality tends to degrade quickly. I've had this sealer since March and food I sealed and put in the freezer when I first got it still maintained significantly more quality than unsealed food.
So overall this little vacuum sealer works great. I've had no problems with it and it is already saving me money by taking advantage for sales on fresh fish and meat. It is fairly quick and easy to use as well as small enough to store away without taking up too much space. I'd seen ads for vacuum sealers for a very long time but never really thought I needed one. This sealer changed my mind and I'm glad I bought it. For the price I feel like this item is a very good value.

Preserving Bulk FoodsTake the guesswork out of smart shopping—buy in bulk and see all the savings by safely sealing and freezing meats, cheeses, vegetables, and even soups and sauces. Did we mention all FoodSaver bags/rolls are sous vide safe? Simmer away. |
Jar SealingDon’t let your garden's harvest go to waste—preserve fruit and veggies for salads, soups, apple sauces, and more. The FoodSaver Jar Sealers (sold separately) give you an easy way to enjoy or gift. |
Prep AheadUse your FoodSaver system to prep meals for the week for yourself or your whole family. It’s also great for sealing up the ingredients you need to blend ultra-fresh smoothies, like bananas, mangoes, or blueberries. |
