We are on our third Food Saver. When purchased they work great, but over time they seem to stop sealing, either bag or cannister. We wish we knew then what we know now. To start, DON'T throw out one of these things. Unless we've missed it, they don't tell you that the rubbery gaskets in a lot of these models and this model in particular WEAR OUR. When they do the unit tries to seal but never "gets all the way". Turns out you can buy new gaskets from the FoodSaver site (though it seems they could do a better job of a material that doesn't wear out).

We saw advice that you can wash and dry them and they work again. We found that not to help. We DID find that soaking the easily removed gaskets in water and putting them back in and using it right way makes it work like new. The water increases the seal. This is, of course, a pain. But thought people should know.

UPDATE: A recent review from T. Zenner says to try a light coating of vegetable oil on the gaskets. I found that didn't work for me (maybe mine are just too old). So I just drenched them in vegetable oil instead, pressing some to get them to soak up the oil. That did it. After about 2 weeks it is still working almost like new... Just hope the oil doesn't turn rancid or mold or something nasty. My original water solution works, but is only good until they dry out which is pretty quick.

After having to throw away a huge amount of freezer burned fish, which my husband packed in ziploc bags, I will always use my foodsaver from here on in.

I had a Deni brand vac sealer, but didn't care for the light weight sealing film. I also found problems with seals failing with the Deni.

After giving up on the Deni, my husband took to using Ziploc Freezer bags, but because of the size, he put too much in and I would end up defrosting 3 pounds of fish at a time, and wasting half usually because nobody here likes leftovers.

I was given the FoodSaver and lots of extras by a friend. The Film is waffled and extra heavy. I have sealed lots of fish and meat since getting this product and have been very satisfied with the performance. The bags can be made to accomodate any portion, the film can even be washed & reused.

I have not yet tried the canister, but after recently tossing some expensive nuts, I think I will soon!

I own a foodsaver and love it. I travel alot and only have so much room in my duffle bag when deploying. I found this product to work as well on vaccuming and sealing clothes as it does on food. I have owned my vaccum sealer for 3years and have deployed with it to Iraq twice. Still going strong. The best thing to deploy with. I also use it at home. I am single and it is hard to buy meals and save when they are family size. This product takes care of that and no waste. The life of my things in the freezer is greatly extended. I don't get paid enough to throw money down the toilet. I highly recommend this product.

When i was first researching which prodcut to buy, I found this and another product called the Frisper. I made the mistake of buying the Frisper. I returned and bought this and is it ever great. Easy to use, love the wide seal, and no probs with creating a seal.

I have used this product many times now and have nothing but good things to say. It had the features that I was looking for; roll storage, built in cutter. I have already recomended this unit to friends. I think it is a great product for the price.

My Son Mo has had one of the Foodsaver 2460 models for a couple years now and had nothing but good to say about it. So I decided to buy one and I wanted the same model he had. And I am pleased to say it is working great for us also. We ordered from Amazon and we recieved it in 4 days w/out any special shipping. And with a low enough cost even w/shipping that we couldn't find elsewhere. Thanks Amazon. Bob ans Susie Hillsboro Mo.

I bought the original Foodsaver many moons ago when it was offered on an infomercial. I've had it probably about ten years give or take. It still works! I bought this one because my son kept coming over and using mine, plus I thought it would be handy to have the cutter and a place to keep the roll. This works every bit as good as my original, but is easier to use due to the handle lock on the side. Mine came with two canisters. On Thanksgiving weekend, I thought I'd test them to see what they could do. I opened a bag of baby carrots with an expiration date of Dec. 4 and dumped them in & vacuumed it. I just pulled out the last of them yesterday (Jan. 23)to add to a pot roast and they were still fresh! That's 50 days beyond the expiration date! In the second canister I peeled and cut up two large onions. It was so convenient to just open the canister, grab a handful of onion & vacuum. So far it is working every bit as good as my old one - which is now being shared between my son and my parents.

I am very pleased with this foodsaver. There was a problem with the first foodsaver received and the dealer immediately sent another unit to me. I am pleased with the service he provided as well as being pleased with the new foodsaver I now have.

I have had my FoodSaver for about a year now and love it. I use it to freeze meats and leftovers, like everyone else; however, it can be used on so many more things! I use it to reseal opened chip bags, sleeves of crackers, cereal bags, marshmallows, frozen veggies and bags of mixed lettuce. Really, anything that was once sealed can be resealed. I don't vacuum out any air, just press the seal button. It has become a life saver.

I've owned for 1 month and this item works great! No problems after vacuuming 20 items. I purchased a $20 dollar item replacement package just in case because I've read types of machines breakdown.
I am very pleased with this item. Very easy to use, feels solid, and comes with a small roll of bags. Only 4 stars because I haven't had it long enough to give it 5 stars.
