I LOVE this product.  I use it to freeze meats, vegetables and I've even used it to refrigerate open bananas and it worked to keep it fresh.  It didn't turn brown as is typical of bananas in the freezer.  I've even used when my mother moved to the Dominican Republic to transport socks, underwear and... review »

Bought one of these and had nothing but trouble with it. It wouldn't vacuum seal any of my items after about a month. The company sent me a new part for my machine, and it worked, but then none of the extensions would work (for the containers, etc.). Finally I was able to return it for a full refund....

I did a lot of research on Food sealing products.  My results seem to show that the Food Saver brand was the best.  So I bought the middle model to save a little money, not thinking it would be neccesary to have the super expensive one.  I have been very disappointed.  The machine is very difficult to get the motor started.  You have to press it in just the right place on the sides and 1/2 the time I cant figure it out.   I've had other people try to use it with the same outcomes I have. It wastes a lot of extra plastic on the edge in order to get it into the machine and allow for an...

I absolutely love the food saver.  I use it for all kinds of food, this way I am able to buy in bulk and save tons of money and dont have to shop as often.  I use this to save clothes and pics that way they are never ruined.  I love the containers I use them for brown sugar, powdered sugar, flour,  and the list goes on.  anything and everthing.  I love the marinater container too that gives meat the best flavor. The rolls are great to make different sizes for different things.  The bags are great for just a little bit of stuff.  I have vacuum packed meat and got it out like 6 months later...

Using the FoodSaver V2440C and it works great for freezing foods.  It is easy to use and works quickly.  You cut the bag roll material to fit the item and it vacs and seals in seconds.  Since the kids are gone now, using this machine allows me to shop the warehouse stores without waste.  It even reseals the chip bags to keep them fresh.  Works great to seal up a single meal to freeze and reheat later.  The bags and rolls are expensive if purchased from FoodSaver but you can save money by purchasing them on Ebay.

We registered for this when we got married 4 yrs ago, and use it at least 5 out of 7 days a week.  My husband would never eat frozen meats, and I am a bargain shopper, so when something is on sale, I buy in quantity.  Now he will eat anything out of the freezer, as long as it's been vaccuum sealed.  You can't taste any difference at all.  Also, we seal cereal bags, chips bags, nearly anything, even the types of bags they say you can't seal, we do.  We couldn't live without our FoodSaver!!!!!

This product helps preserve food by vacuuming out the air, thus retarding oxidation.  Frozen food can be kept for months without freezer burn.  Pantry items: ie., cereals, crackers, flour etc. can be kept fresh and weevil free without refrigeration.  Highly recommended..it works just as advertised.

The Foodsaver is a fantastic investment.  I use it for just about everything that goes into the freezer.  It is super easy to use and stores quite well.  A bit pricey to begin with worth it as time goes by.  I have definately saved money by using this machine.

FoodSaver ends up not being too cost effectivve if a family is buying many bags. And the air is difficult to completely suck out of each bag. The more air left in a bag, the less time the food will survive in the deep freeze.
