Foodsaver Reviews

Sometimes I suffer from instantgratificationitis.  Like I feel that I have to have something right this minute even though I'm fairly sure it won't live up to my expectations and I'll end up returning the thing.  But sometimes the products turn out to be great and I'm happy to keep them.  One of those products is the FoodSaver food storage system.

We shop at Costco about once a month and utilize the FoodSaver as a result of buying their inexpensive but good cuts of meat.  We grill almost every day in the summer so we like to have chicken, pork, and steaks on hand.  We buy them in bulk at Costco...

I LOVE the Food-saver!  Actually, LOVE is not a strong enough word. This product changed our lives, and life style.

I bought the product thinking that it would allow me to save money by buying more items in bulk at my local warehouse store.  At first it was merely for keeping frozen chicken more fresh, and bulk blocks of cheese from turning moldy.  Over time I started freezing left overs in the bags, and eventually built up a stock of items in my freezer.  What a difference it has made as we now find our selves turning to frozen meals that taste as good, if not better, than the day we cooked...

We rcvd the Tilia Foodsaver V2840 as a gift, Dec. 2007.

This was to replace our older wearing Foodsaver Unit from years prior.

I often take advantage of sales on whole ribeyes, whole beef tenderloins, whole pork tenderloins, ground round, chicken sales, sausage sales, etc.

I'm a Price per Pound, Price per Ounce, Price per Item type shopper.  I like my meats cut to order, which usually has no price for cutting, then I go home & vacuum seal & freeze according to our family's individual needs.  I cook some foods in bulk & freeze in family or individual portions.

Great item for saving left overs for...

Like the Vitamix, my Aunt gave me my FoodSaver and this is one of two appliances we keep on our kitchen counter and use every day.  We love fresh fruit but seasonal fruits can be very expensive if not in season.  For instance we love blueberries so at the peak of blueberry season this year we picked 18 pounds of blueberries.  Now mind you we gave some away to our elderly neighbors but for the other 16 pounds we kept I laid them out on a cookie sheet and froze them, then sucked them down using my FoodSaver.  We now will have blueberries throughout until next season.  I do this for peaches and...

The Foodsaver vacuum sealer system is a must have for every household that is interested in saving money on their family's food costs or just keeping food fresher for longer periods of time. I have vacuumed packed everything from meat to spices to dehydrated fruits and vegetables to fresh fruits and vegetables for the freezer. With the foodsaver vacuum sealer system I am able to buy bulk meats (I just bought a 3 whole pork loin for $1.29 per pound, had the grocery store slice part into boneless chops, part into roasts, and part they ran through the tenderizer for me for no charge), I then brought...

I finally purchase a Foodsaver about three years ago after hearing how wonderful they were.  I'm one of those people that will buy pretty much any "gadget" out there, so I definitely had my doubts.  But I also had my receipt, so I could return it. 

 Well, three years later and I'm on my second Foodsaver.  Pretty much wore the first one out.  I literally can't image being without it for more than a week - I use it that often.  Not just for freezing meats, either.  They sell canisters for cookies, crackers, etc. and I have a large collection of those and boy are they wonderful.  And my kids...

We had this product years ago and sadly wore it out. It was several years before we decided to get another one, why I'm not sure, but after we broke down and bought this newest one we can't do without it.

If the bags were big enough I'd put my kids in them to help their allergies :) but on a serious note, we always buy in bulk and alot of it was being thrown away due to staleness, mold, deterioration, with the Foodsaver, we haven't had that problem, so the cost of it has been recouped just in our food bill!

Would love it if it came with more canisters, they are great for everything! and in the long...

We are big gardeners, and put most of our produce in the freezer. We stripped about 400 ears of corn, Green Giant eat your heart out. But to do this takes a lot of time. The machine sealer gets hot and freezes up, so long waits happen till it cools down. Also, we are retired, and the money is not flooding in. The bags themselves are not a cheap item even when bought in bulk. So, Foodsaver manufacturer, if you could solve these few snafu's, you'd really have something!

Love this product. By shrink wrapping extra food I am can keep it longer without spoiling. Easy to use. The refill bags are costly but I have found that I can recycle the bags that I have already used which is a great savings.

I bought this FoodSafer for our daughter she loves it after she has use it she has ask me to contunion buying items that goes with it i have stocked up on ordering the extra items for her she LOVES LOVES LOVES it
