5.0 out of 5 stars I Love This Thing, November 22, 2007
This review is from: FoodSaver V2840 Advanced Design Vacuum Food Sealer, White/Black (Kitchen)
If you have a refrigerator and/or a freezer and store food, you want one of these! I was torn between rating this four or five stars. It does have one flaw, but there is a simple work-around (See Cons below). It does everything the manufacturer says it will do and more. I have the v2490, which I think is the Costco version of this model. I've been using it for a year and a half now. I am very pleased. It has definitely paid for itself through savings in bulk purchasing and preserving leftovers. I have kept food in the freezer for embarrassingly long times without any freezer burn or other detectable deterioration. It is so simple to use that one does not need to read the instructions to begin using it. However, I do recommend reading them for important maintenance information and to learn how to get the full benefits from this appliance.

Pros:
It always works as expected.
Simple and easy to use.
Easy to clean and maintain.
Relatively quiet for a vacuum pump.

Con:
The gaskets are a bit of a problem. There are two foam gaskets, one on the lid and one on the base, that meet to form the seal when you lower the lid to vacuum and seal. The problem is that after a while the weight of the lids begins to compress these gaskets and they begin not to seal. When this happens you can hear the pump trying to get the air out, but it never finishes. I was very disappointed when this started happening. I searched the Internet for other users' experiences, and found this to be a fairly common problem. The problem is the two sealing gaskets.

Here's what I did to remedy this problem. First I removed the gaskets (very easy to do) and gently washed them with warm soapy water, letting them soak for about ten minutes. I hung them dry for a day and put them back in (also easy to do). This fixed the problem. My FoodSaver worked like it did when it was brand new. I was amazed. As far as I could tell, there was nothing in the printed instructions that dealt with this issue.

Second, I got a small piece packing foam and put it between the lid and the base to keep the lid from closing all the way when not in use. If you do this, be sure to position the piece of foam so that it is not touching either the foam gasket in the lid or the one in the base, as this will cause indentions in the gasket foam and prevent it from forming a seal.

Third, I called the manufacturer and ordered some replacement gaskets as backup. They were only one dollar per pair plus a mailing charge. The new gaskets were here in a couple of days. I haven't used them yet as the work-around using the piece of foam to hold the lid up seems to be keeping the old gaskets in working order.

Conclusions:
I think that the manufacturer should design a catch of some sort to stop the lid from closing all the way when the appliance is not in use. This would eliminate the problem with the sealing gaskets. Other than that the FoodSaver seems well designed, sturdy, and very handy to have in the kitchen.

Recommendation:
Highly Recommended. If you eat food you need one of these.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!!!, November 29, 2005
By 
This review is from: FoodSaver V2840 Advanced Design Vacuum Food Sealer, White/Black (Kitchen)
This is my first experience with a vacuum seal product and it has been a great one. I shop at a wholesale club, but I cook for one. I've had this less than a week and I have completely transformed my freezer. I have things packaged in individual serving sizes, including poultry, fish, seafood and even desserts.

I have two disappointments, but no regrets. The first is that the appliance is huge. The flip up design is a necessity and even then it looks imposing. In fairness to Tilla, the dimensions are listed on the box. I'm out of counter and cabinet space so mine lives on top of the refrigerator.

My second complaint is that the canisters are not freezer-safe. This is very disappointing because it adds extra complexity to freezing items that contain a lot of liquid. You need to place items on a baking sheet in the freezer and then use the FoodSaver bags once the items are frozen. For liquids, you need to freeze them in solid blocks and then place them in the FoodSaver bags. The instructions also suggest you use canning jars designed for the freezer when freezing liquids. I've tried to find the canning jars, but I've had no luck with the usual suspects. I'm not ready to order a full case from Amazon, but maybe that's the only way they are sold. Things would be so much easier with freezer-safe caninsters.

Even with those two complaints, my purchase was worth it. I've gained freezer space and my bulk items will last longer.

It hurts to leave three inches of bag material unused when sealing items, but I'm convinced this is still less wasteful and more efficient than the tons of freezer bags I go through. The bags are reusable and can be washed in the diswasher.

The DVD was extremely helpful. The bags and bag material included are enough to whet your appetite. If you register the product online, Tilla will send you coupons for the accessories, but they are only good for purchases directly from FoodSaver. You can't use them at another store.

Must-have accessories are the bottle stoppers and food marinator.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have in the kitchen, August 1, 2006

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: FoodSaver V2840 Advanced Design Vacuum Food Sealer, White/Black (Kitchen)
I love this product! This is my second FoodSaver I've had in the last 4 years. The first one stopped working properly after 3 years so I purchased this one and I LOVE IT! I recommend this FoodSaver to all my friends and those who have bought it like it too.

Tips: If it stops giving a complete vacuum, remove the gaskets - both top and bottom, put them back in; lock the handle and press the vacuum and seal button. When it is finished, wait 6-7 seconds before releasing the handle. This will reseed the gaskets. One suggestion I received from CS was to soak the gaskets in hot water for about 2 hours and let dry completely before re-installing them. They said this would help keep them more pliable.

I use this to seal virtually everything. When I grill out, I make extra brats or burgers, seal them in packages (the size of one meal for two) and re-heat in the bag in boiling water. You'd never know it was cooked months earlier. We enjoy BBQ all year long this way.

Bottom line, I don't every want to be without one.
