The best Foodsaver ever,
This review is from: Foodsaver V2860 FoodSaver Advanced Design V2860 (Kitchen)
Actually, it's better than a pro model. The fact that it folds up to conserve counter space is the one thing that makes it so much better.
The features on this model are incredible. The one I like the most is the canister mode, which lets me seal a canister without activating the sealer; this was something I really disliked about earlier models. Perhaps you've read some of my reviews of previous models; I want you to know that I love this thing more than all the rest. I'm still single and love to cook, but find it inconvenient to cook meals that I find in cookbooks that are very tasty, but I need to save them for later. Foodsaver is the best tool I've ever had for storing large quantities of just about anything. Have you ever made a big batch of stock or broth? Put it into a bunch of ice cube trays and freeze them. take them out of the trays and put them into a Foodsaver bag (they really are economical because they're washable and reusable), seal it up and you'll have broth or stock that will last FOREVER in your freezer. Make a big lasagna and cut it up, freeze it and put the pieces in microwavable bowls; then put them in bags, seal them and you have the perfect dinner for reheating at work. You know almost all of the chips you buy at the supermarket come in mylar bags. This baby has a cool little feature that lets you seal the bag without sucking all the air out of it. Great for those bags of chips that you forgot about in your pantry. One last thing I should mention about this model. I used to make bags from rolls using a large paper cutter. Don't have to do that now. This model has a storage area inside and a slide cutter that allows me to make whatever size bag I want and then seal one end of it without having to go through the whole suction routine, kinda like how I do the mylar chip bags. It even comes with a marker clipped inside so you can easily identify what you have in your bags (sometimes I forget if it's beef stock, beef broth, chicken stock, etc.). The 2860 has only a couple extra features than the 2840, but they are well worth the additional cost.

Advanced Foodsaver,
This model is a big improvement over the older Foodsaver models. The moist and crush free features, and the installed bag cutter are what I have been waiting for. The moist feature allows you to vacuum seal meat without having to prefreeze it, though prefreezing is still recommended in the use and care guide.
The directions guide you to place a paper towel above the meat to absorb excess moisture from juicy meat to prevent the juice from going into the vaccum channel. So far, I haven't done this for meats like chicken or porkchops. Wiping away excess moisture has been sufficient. Fish and ground meat will require the paper towel or prefreezing. I vacuum seal packaged meats like steak in the package. The moist feature is a benefit for me because I would previously put the meat in the freezer and forget about it for a few days which defeats the purpose. Now I can bag the meat and seal it in one step and be done with it. The crush free feature allows you to vacuum seal delicate items without ruining them. You can stop the process before it crushes the item. This feature is great if you like to mail your homemade baked goods like cookies and brownies to friends and loved ones. Just let them cool completely before vacuum sealing. Otherwise they may mold. This design allows you to fold the console in so the unit can be stored upright on your counter. This will come in handy if you want to leave the Foodsaver on the counter but don't have a lot of space. Not having to drag the unit out each time you want to seal up your frequently used items is an added bonus. I have been using the Foodsaver for a number of years and decided to replace my older version, with this one to take advantage of the advanced features. I recommend this one because it's a timesaver, has better features than previous models, and is obviously designed based on customer recommendations and feedback.

Foodsaver v2860,
By RF (Greensburg, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Foodsaver V2860 FoodSaver Advanced Design V2860 (Kitchen)
We've used a foodsaver device for several years. This is our 2nd device, and I am very pleased with the improvements. The flexibility of adjusting motor speed, internal roll storage and cutter, and the "flip up" design to minimze counter space while making the device always available are great. This device was well priced on Amazon, and delivery was prompt.
