There is so much this FoodSaver can do!
I was quite pleased with all the functions of this Food Saver. I had an older model and this upgraded system is well worth the added money. The function that pulls the bag into the sealer and automatically seals it is a great feature! I was always trying to use the correct amount to create a seal and this model automatically does it for you! Love that feature. I am impressed with the PulseVac function. I had complete control of how much air was removed from the bag. I can see so many uses for this function to include pie, fresh berries, pancakes, biscuits or anything that has a delicate texture that you don't want to crush before you freeze. The retractible hand sealer with the jar attachment is another great edition to this FoodSaver. If you have canning jars looking to be used this is an awesome way to put them to work with out having to go through the entire canning process. But know that this function should only be used for foods that are already shelf stable. This is NOT a substitute for hot process canning for foods such as jams, jellies, sauces, fruits and vegetables. Foods that are optimal for this function would be coffee, rice, marshmallows, lentils or dry mixes. Items that would benefit from having air removed from them while resting on the shelf. If I were looking to give a FoodSaver for a gift I would be giving this model. It has so many functions, uses and will pay for itself in no time.
