[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this to use with a variety of foods. We bulk buy steak, ground meat, chicken, sausage and we divide up and vacuum seal! Easy to use, does a great job! We make and slice our own bacon and vacuum seal that in meal sized portions and love it! Best choice we could have made!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a new vacuum sealer and decided to try this unit from Food Saver product. The unit came with the vacuum sealer, several rolls of plastic to make bags from and a kit for marinades. Making the bags is easy just seal one end and then cut the length off that you need. Sealing the food you want to package is easy as well. I just followed the instructions for sealing meats and vegetables. It also works great for leftovers and make ahead meals. The marinating attachment is easy to use as well. Just add the marinade to the container over the meat that you want to marinade seal up the container and let it do the work for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes you get meat that’s marinated like you let it marinade for hours. Works great with beef, chicken and pork. I love this product and the money saved by not getting freezer burn as well as being able to freeze items over a year without worrying makes this a great value. It pays for itself. I highly recommend this product!

This is my second Foodsaver. I LOVE this one. My first unit was a V3840 with auto start by inserting the bag and was a little difficult, but after over 6 years of use it was no longer sealing tightly, so time for a new one! The sealing feature on this new unit is much easier and I really like that, once a bag is cut, you can seal the end in preparation for the next bag.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this food saver. First of all, it's very stylish looking and looks great in my kitchen. It's so simple to use . I can now buy family size packs of meat and separate into smaller sizes, vacuum seal and freeze. Saving me time and money. Works great with meats, fruits ,veggies and cheeses. Such a great product to own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product. I can plan ahead and make meals for the week. This comes with many bags on a roll to put food into packs, seal the bag and put into your freezer for another day. This has been such a life saver.

So far, so good! I am getting the hang of using the device, after wanting one for years. Basic items, like left over Christmas ham, are easy and work as expected. Just tried pre-freezing a quiche (hash brown crust - thanks Steve Docy!) and it appears to have worked great with minimal deformation. Will thaw in a week or so, but I expect good results. Yesterday I used the pulse mode on bread: Very happy. It looks evacuated and I did not crush the bread. Someday I will try Souse Vide... Putting a block of cheese in an extra long bag has worked well. You can re-open and reseal, keeping the cheese fresh for longer in the refrigerator. I may look into buying Ziplock, vacuum seal bags now that I see the value.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never had a food saver before and I have to say that I love this machine. It is very compact and it matches my stainless steel kitchen. I read reviews before getting this and many said it doesn't seal. I totally understand why. If you don't have the end of the bag inside the dip tray properly, it won't seal. But if you make sure you cut the bag long enough to be able to have the whole end in the tray, then it seals beautifully and wonderfully. I love watching how it sucks all the air out. The hand held sealer is a life saver. It helps me marinade food fast and delicious. This machine comes with many bags and rolls it is such a great deal. I love my food saver and I highly recommend this model.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was such a treat! We love to make beef Jerky and thought the food saver would be great to save and ship our beef jerky to our family out of state. This product was all we wanted and more! We love the marinating dish. It is so easy to use and with the vacuum sealing technology the marinade is drawn through the meat and makes a very flavorful meal. We have used this product on Beef, Chicken, and Fish. We are excited to try this system on vegetables. It is made really well and comes with everything you need to get started. Overall, we are very pleased with this product and cant wait to try more foods to save and preserve.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this FoodSaver vacuum sealer! Not only does it work great at vacuuming and sealing, it also has a handheld vacuum sealer that works perfectly with resealable bags and the 10-cup Preserve & Marinate Container, which is my favorite feature! It has several settings including moist, dry, marinate and sous vide to handle all your needs. It also has a place to store the roll that is an added convenience. This unit is very easy to use and works great!!
