The FoodSaver Experience
By keeping air out and sealing freshness in, this home vacuum-sealing system eliminates freezer burn and keeps foods fresh and delicious up to five times longer than conventional storage methods. This system removes air and moisture from specially-designed, multi-layer bags while sealing in flavor so that your food tastes as if it was bought yesterday even after being in the freezer for months. Use the V3440 to freeze pre-made dinners that you can reheat during the week, to keep left over salad or pizza slices in the fridge for later, to deep-freeze cuts of meat, and much more.
Compact and Easy to Use
This user-friendly machine has multiple settings to choose from when sealing your food and a sleek, upright design that will look great on your countertop. The V3440 will not only keep your food fresh longer, but will also save you money by not having to throw away freezer-burned meat, moldy produce, or forgotten leftovers.
A Fully Automatic System
Equipped with SmartSeal technology and automatic bag sensing, the V3440 ensures easy hands-free operation and no more guesswork. Simply insert a bag and it will automatically vacuum-seal it. For vacuum packaging delicate foods, the unit's CrushFree Instant Seal function immediately stops the vacuum process to prevent crushing.

Dont WASTE your MONEY!,
By Ter "Ter" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: FoodSaver V3440 Vacuum-Sealing System with SmartSeal Technology (Kitchen)
I also was excited to replace my old one with this one. The bag sensor is rediculous. You waste ALOT of bags. It will only seal a inch and a half from edge unlike my old one where you could seal right up top the edge. The sensor went out in 2 weeks. When the sensor did work it took forever. Sometimes it would vacuum and other times it would leave air in the bag and sealed it up. Unless you left 3 or 4 inches on the end of your bag it was impossible to reseal the bag as it was too short. Very disappointed. Don't waste your money.

Just Awful!,
By Lisa "Lisa" (Ohio) - See all my reviews Don't be fooled by it's fancy looks, this thing is terrible. It's supposed to automatically turn on when you put the end of the bag in the slot, but it doesn't. It sits and sits, and then maybe will finally turn on. When it does vacuum and seal, it doesn't do as good a job as my old one. What a headache, waiting and waiting, not sure if it's going to start. Save your money, buy a simpler version.

horrible product,

This review is from: FoodSaver V3440 Vacuum-Sealing System with SmartSeal Technology (Kitchen)
I own a food saver at home, and the venue I work at purchased this particular model for our kitchen. I'm really not sure what the folks at food saver were thinking, and how this product made it past their testing and focus groups. I don't know, maybe they didn't do a product test or focus group with this model- thats the only explanation I can come up with.
In their effort to make the machine more automatic, and theoretically easier, they much it much more of a hassle to use. The slot loading design with the bag sensor and whatnot, for one thing, require you to use much more of the roll/bag than you would need to with the traditional manual models. Also, its much slower. You have to insert the bag, wait for the sensor to trip, the thing has to clamp down onto the bag, it has to vacuum and seal it, and then it has to unclamp. Major pain to deal with. With the other models, you just open it up, place the bag, close it, press the button and thats it. The slot loading just doesn't work for a lot of reasons- the slot isn't wide enough, and the slightest crinkle in the bag and you won't be able to get it in. Plus, if you've got a lot of things to cryovac, the clamp(I guess thats what you'd call it), get hot and the bag will get hung up on it when you're trying to put a new one in. Then, you'll have issues where, for whatever reason, the machine just won't get any vacuum on a particular bag. It'll do the one before and the one right after just fine, but it won't work on that particular one. Makes no sense. Also, the machine has a sensor for the drip tray. This mechanism is very faulty. I can't tell you how many times I've been in the situation where the machine would not let me vacuum seal a bag because the tray was supposedly full, but in all actuality it was not. Another minor gripe, but the power cord is not nearly long enough. This whole machine is just a complete disaster on part of this company. Unfortunately, I use the machine at work A LOT, for a variety of things- marinades, cures, storage, and sous vide cooking. If R&D would have actually done some testing and focus groups, they would have found they would be much better off patenting the idea, and selling it to somebody else. This product is terrible. Just stick with the more manual models. Amazon requires that you give 1 star in a review, otherwise I would have given 0.
