Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
By keeping air out and sealing freshness in, this vacuum-sealing system eliminates freezer burn and keeps foods fresh and delicious up to five times longer than conventional storage methods. The countertop appliance not only keeps food fresh longer, it also helps save money--no more having to throw away freezer-burned meat, moldy produce, or forgotten leftovers. Choose from two speed settings, two sealing levels (great for moist or dry foods), or canister mode for achieving the best vacuum seal on canisters and accessories. For vacuum-packaging delicate foods, the unit's CrushFree Instant Seal function immediately stops the vacuum process to prevent crushing. Other highlights include a flat touchpad control panel, an easy-lock latch, hands-free operation, a double-wide sealing strip, an accessory port, and a quick-clean anti-bacterial drip tray. A variety of accessories come included: an 11-inch-by-10-foot FoodSaver roll for making custom-size bags, three quart-size FoodSaver bags, two gallon-size FoodSaver bags, and accessory hose. With its sleek, compact design, the vacuum sealer measures approximately 12-3/5 by 18-2/7 by 6-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Owned for a couple weeks now. It's worked very well. Does a great job sealing, and vacuum packing works wonders for holding flavor while storing food. A fantastic surprise to this machine is that you can use it to pretty much seal any plastic bags, which i didn't know. I thought it was only for vacuum packing in the foodsaver bags, but you can use the sealer on cereal bags, potato chip bags, and even the plastic bags that bread comes in. Had i known that, i wouldn't have pondered the decision for whether this was really something i would use enough to justify the purchase. I've been using it for something everyday.

I've used the V2240 for 2 months now on a fairly consistent basis. In total I've probably vacuumed sealed at least 500 packages from trail mix, dried fruit, granola... and it is still going strong.
The only two complaints I have:
1.) It will only vacuum seal Foodsaver bags, not ziploc bags. Costco sells them pretty cheap.
2.) The space between the sealer and vacuum channel are too far apart causing the waste of roughly an inch of bag for each vacuum seal.
Overall, I'm very happy with this product and would recommend it.

After years of use and hundreds of vacuum seals my model 1075 would not seal bags properly. Vacuum OK but even a double seal would let air in after a few days. I have owned FoodSavers since mid 1997 and this is my third unit. Mind you, I vacuum seal hundreds and hundreds of packages each year and have gotten my $$ worth out the past two units. Looking over all FoodSaver models, I selected the V2240. I like the fact it resembles the older 1075, simple to use, and doesn't waste excess bags like the new vertical units do.
My only dislike is the "moist" setting. It's about 5-7 seconds shorter than the "dry" setting. Kinda useless as it doesn't quite finish the job. I prefer to freeze the product until the excess moisture has frozen then vacuum seal on dry. Works like a charm as I just sealed a bunch of smoked bratwurst and fresh caught Coho salmon.
