First of all I can wrap my food with plastic wrap and place it in a zip lock bag (that I can reuse), and get just as little freezer burn as with the food saver. The larger problem with this machine is the cost of bags, and the fact that the newer machine does not allow you to manually seal the bag. 1.5" on each side of the bag is wasted before the heat seal. That is 3" per item you seal. An 18 foot roll is $20. If the average sealed package is a foot, that means that roughly 25% of the roll is wasted. That is $5 per $20 roll, that makes me sour!

I bought four of them, and they were all short-lived, lasting only a few months at most! I will NEVER buy another FodSaver machine ever again because they all break down too prematurely!! I'll try other brands first. ~Shermie. FoodSaver, sorry to have to put it to you like this, but your food vacuum sealing machines are all PURE JUNK!!
