Ugly looking finish on control panel face will be returning this. There is obviously no quality control at Food Saver factory. It did work very well though.

Handheld sealing did not work.

I had to get a FoodSaver replacement in a hurry because mine stopped working. However this one isn't one that I would recommend! The manual part that I use a lot has a broken piece of plastic in it, and I can't find any way to remove it. The FoodSaver is very MANUAL, 1. you have to close and open it with a manual lever, very confusing. There is NO ACCESSORY PORT for my canisters, bottle sealers! Can't believe it would be a very reasonable purchase as it's so limited in use.

The machine I bought was defective. I am waiting for my money back. The cusomer service was good

Unless you're sealing food that is entirely flat or hanging off the counter, the downwards angle of the lid makes it impossible to seal your food without wasting an incredible amount of material. Then for some reason the cutting blade is positioned within the seal, so the first time using this I ended up cutting open the bag I just created... Tried using this to replace my GameSaver sealer which had separate issues after a short time and it turned out to be a bad decision.

I purchased this system as an upgrade to the 1100 series that I had been using. I wanted the additional modes. I didn't realize that it would be so noisy - even with the reviews I just didn't imagine it was so loud in vacuum mode. Is this normal? Did I just buy a dud?

Only used it a few times now vacuum times out before bag is completely vacuumed and goes to seal mode Only way to use it is pulse mode to get all the air out before seal would Not recommend this model

It’s probably brilliant for bag sealing. I wanted to use it for dry jar sealing. Bought the accessories kit. 1st attempt the plastic piece snapped off. I still believe in the brand. Not all products are the best for everything. I will be looking for a saver with a port now.

I wanted a Foodsaver for a very long time so I finally bought one about a year ago. I even purchased several of the Foodsaver containers and ziplock bags. I recently noticed the items I froze after using foodsaver that the bags didn't completely seal. Although, the leakage was slight it caused a mess as well as leaves me to question how safe the food really is now. The built in attachment for bags and containers has always been temperamental to say the least. I thought it was user error when I first got the machine. It is not! The attachment MIGHT work perfectly the first time or never after several repeated attempts. When the machine works as "Designed" it is amazing but constantly fighting the hand attachment and redoing bags due to failed seals is a waster of time and money.
