Questions about FoodSaver Fresh Food Preservation System, Space Saver
Q:
Can the zipper bags be resealed?
Answer: Yes. The bags are re-sealable for every day use! However we do not recommend that they be washed and reused because it might compromise the ability to create a proper vacuum.
Answer: I've washed the bags and reused them. You just need to make sure they are completely dry. I hang them upside down over a jar so they stay open until they've dried.
Answer: Yes they can. I love this machine so much better than the expensive one that I bought. It plugs in so you don't have to wait to charge it up and it's small enough for the counter. I use it all the time. It works on the containers well too. Win Win
Answer: Yes definitely!
Q:
Can liquid bags be used with this unit
Answer: This FoodSaver is designed to work exclusively with FoodSaver zipper bags and Fresh Containers. To use the Liquid Block Bags you will need a heat-seal vacuum sealing system.
Answer: I'm guessing you are talking about putting liquid in a bag, you can do it but you want to watch the bag and manually stop it before it sucks liquid. This unit works really well. It is very powerful compared to the battery unit.
Answer: Can't answer this definitely as I've only had minimal amount of moisture for item's I've sealed and have only used the bags designed for this unit!
Answer: I am not sure because the only bags I use are ones that are made to be used with this item. Sorry!
Answer: You can also freeze your soup in a container that is no larger than your freezer bag overnight. Transfer the frozen soup into your bag and seal it. Add it back to the freezer until you are ready to use.
Answer: how does the liquid not rush to the top
Answer: Some liquid in the bag is maneagable, like a marinade; soup no.
Answer: Use the canisters, works great
Q:
Is this meant for vacuum sealing meat and putting it in the freezer? Every other model lists that as a plus
Answer: The FoodSaver FM1230 is designed to work with Fresh Containers and vacuum zipper bags. The containers are refrigerator and freezer safe, allowing you to use it for produce, meats, dry food and much more. On the other hand, the vacuum zipper bags are ideal for refrigerator use and frequently accessed food such as deli meats, cheeses, dried nuts, chips, among others.

Answer: I have used the bags in the freezer for a long time and dio so still. Use to do it with the Ziploc for like ever. Is this a issue? Now i am wondering
Q:
Can the bags be used for sous vide cooking?
Answer: We do not recommend using our vacuum zipper bags for the sous vide cooking method, as the tab on the side of the bag may compromise the food inside. For best results with sous vide, we would recommend using our heat-seal bags and rolls.
Answer: Yes, they work great!1 These are all that I use for Sous Vide. Never had a problem and I sous Vide all the time.
Answer: Can't answer this because I haven't tried it yet. I am however, glad to see that someone else has and responded to this question!
Answer: Yes and they work beautifully!
Q:
How loud is it?
Answer: Not loud at all, my husband did not ask me to stop a& he did not turn up TV????
Q:
How long can i store food in these...foods like oats n beans
Answer: I use mine more for cheese and refrigerator items. It will store dry goods for a long while, but not the best option of foodsaver for beans,oats,rice etc. These bags are reusable but costly. Get a bigger foodsaver that seals with a hot wire for best results and dry food will last years..
Answer: Hello Marcus, this is Salumu from Foodsaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our Foodsaver Fresh Food Preservation. We do not have any specific time however, using Foodsaver system it keeps the foods 5 times longer than ordinary storage. I will kindly ask you to fo through our website and click on "ABOUT FOOD PRESERVATION" for more information.
Answer: I would use canisters for long term storage. The bags are meant for things you would be getting in and out of frequently. Hope this helps.
Answer: I haven’t tried those yet but having tried other foods I would say forever
Answer: My wife at least a year.
Q:
which bags do we use, and are there good off-brand freezer bags?
Answer: We recommend that you only use FoodSaver brand zipper bags with your FoodSaver Fresh Appliance.
Answer: They sell food saver brand bags I haven’t used any others to be able to recommend any
Answer: We buy our replacement bags at WalMart.
Answer: So far I've only used FS bags, but it's hit or miss whether they hold the vacuum.
Q:
Why when using this product do the bags and the containers frequently lose suction? I know I’m using it correctly. Happens regardless of food type.
Answer: Use only Foodsaver bags and make sure zippered seal is tight. If any food gets in zippered area, it will leak air. On of our containers would lose suction every other time, after a few dishwasher cleanings and a few weeks of use, all is good and we haven't had any more leaks. Just checked about 50 bags we out up 2 months ago with dry goods and no leaks. Good luck. It really is a good unit.
Answer: I was having the same problem, but I placed the bag on the counter and pressed the vacuum seal closed then aligned the hole on the bag with the base (looks like a star) and slide the head down and hit the start button. I made sure it was completely sealed. I hope this helps!
Answer: I am not sure why it happens but it does sporadically. I have found that the seal needs to be clean and free if anything. If not then it will loose its seal. That is about the only time it does with me. Maybe 10% of the time.
Q:
Can regular ziplock bags be used?
Answer: The FoodSaver Fresh Food Preservation System is designed to be used with FoodSaver Vacuum Zipper bags and Fresh Containers.
Answer: No .. we cant use regular ziplock bag
Answer: Unfortunately not. The foodsaver bags have a valve through which the air is removed. Regular zip lock bags do not.
Answer: No you need to use only bags from FoodSaver.
Answer: No, you use can only the bags from foodsaver (they have a special section opening).
Answer: No, the bag needs a special air valve in the side. Personally I use the bags from Foodsaver but I believe there are third party bags out there that will work.
Answer: El producto muy regular. No lo recomiendo.
Answer: No
Q:
Can you hook the Foodsaver tube up to this to use with the mason jar attachment? I hate dragging out the big machine every time I want to seal a jar.
Answer: Excellent question! Our FoodSaver Fresh Food Preservation System, Space Saver is not compatible with the Jar Sealing Attachments. If there's anything we can do to assist you or for updates, please don't hesitate to contact us at 1-877-777-8042. We're here for you Monday-Friday, 9 am-6 pm EST and always stay safe!
Answer: Hello Amie, this is Salumu from Foodsaver care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our Foodsaver Fresh Food preservation system. No, you can not hook the Foodsaver tube up to this to use with the mason jar attachement. This model is not compatible with tubes.
Answer: You can seal jars with the FoodSaver 31161370 Cordless Food Vacuum Sealer, Handheld. It is rechargeable and very quite.
Answer: I have never tried the tube, but this machine doesn't take up that much room on the counter or in the cabinets.
Answer: No, I don't think so....
Answer: No.
Q:
Is the delivery timely?
Answer: Yes, thanks to using Prime.
Q:
Is there any benefit of this unit over the freshsaver handheld vacuum that is over 4x cheaper?
Answer: We have both units, one @ home which is the more expensive 110 volt one & the less expensive portable rechargeable battery one for the RV and they both work good but notice the 110 volt seems to seal faster. Time will tell which one is better $ vise as it has been a little over a month for both.
Answer: I have a handheld rechargeable one and it sucked. We could only use it a couple of uses and stopped working. It either wouldn't charge enough to even seal 1 bag.
Answer: This one turns off automatically where the handheld does not. I have both and like this one better
Answer: I use mostly the food saver food containers and this unit keeps you from having to wrestle with the cord- just set the container on the base, lower the connection piece, and hit the button. Works much more efficiently than the hose method. The convenience was worth the cost for me.
Answer: I’d say it’s like having a deluxe electric can opener vs. a hand held manual one. Both do the same job but one is more fun!
Q:
cleaning bags?... of course this is whaere the money is... $$$(Bags) What is the instructions for bag cleaning... Anyone?
Answer: Our FoodSaver vacuum zipper bags are re-sealable for every day use, however we do not recommend that they be washed and reused because it might compromise the ability to create a proper vacuum.
Q:
Are the bags BPA and polyethylene terephthalate free ???
Answer: The FoodSaver bags are BPA free made of polyethylene (a type of plastic) with an outer layer of nylon for added strength and rigidity.
Q:
When I use my foodsaver bags to seal my shredded cheese, the cheese gets all smashed flat together. Does this happen in the hard containers?
Answer: Hello, this is Marcin from Foodsaver Care, our hard container are smash proof, meant to store liquids or dry goods, such as shredded cheese, with leak proof lid and seal.
Answer: They have it marked in the instructions, not to use it with cheese. I have used it for hard cheese not in a box but never for soft cheese.
Answer: I have never tried it in the hard containers.
Answer: No it does not, not for me anyway good luck
Answer: No. We don’t pack it real tight
Answer: No they do not crush.
Q:
Can only zipper bags be used with this machine?
Answer: The types of bags will have the unit that is compatible, but yes on the zipper bags (quart and gallon sizes).
Answer: No, there are also specially made containers you can purchase and use.
Answer: I would say yes, that is all I know of, you need the little suction hole for it to work properly, hope that helps
Q:
Can this be used at all so seal mason jars with the jar attachements?
Answer: No, this is only for fresh food and does not have the appropriate pump power. To seal mason jars, you need a FoodSaver vacuum sealer with the hose attachment and special adapter for sealing mason jars. I have one and it works great!
Answer: I don't think so. I think it is for bags only.
Answer: No it can't, you have to buy the bigger system
Answer: NO...
Answer: I am sorry but I do not know.
Answer: Yes it can.
Q:
Do they make different sized containers for this system?
Answer: I don't think so however it is a very nice product
Q:
Will this unit seal the heavy duty Waring Pro vacuum bags?
Answer: I’m sorry but we have no way of testing this with Waring bags. We have tested with zip bags and it worked fine
Answer: The FoodSaver® FM1510 Fresh Food Preservation System has only been tested with FoodSaver zipper bags and Fresh Containers.
Answer: I do not know, I buy my bags through Amazon or QVC
Answer: I am not sure because I have only used the bags that come with it. Sorry and good luck!!
Answer: I'm not sure, I purchase the FoodSaver bags only. Sorry ;(
Q:
Does this unit have bags big enough for steaks ,roasts or small chickens?
Answer: Hello Alfonse, this is Gosia from FoodSaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our FoodSaver Fresh Food Preservation System. It always depends of the size of your product, but the biggest bags we have is a gallon size. Thank you, FoodSaver Care.
Answer: You will have to check out what size you need, how big a steak how big a chiken what size roast you want to put in it!!!!
Answer: There are quart and gallon size bags
Answer: steaks and chops and cornish hens and whole breasts not so sure about whole chickens
Answer: They do have gallon size bags, so if your items will fit in a gallon zip lock bag they'll fit food saver fresh bag.
Answer: Sorry, I don't know, this was a gift for my daughter.
Q:
Does foodsaver offer (not "foodsaver & fresh containers") come with containers? 1, as in picture? or 2, as in description? thx
Answer: It comes with two containers, which for the price is a great deal and easy to use.
Answer: As in description. I love my food saver though
Answer: 2and a few bags of each size
Q:
Can you use this with food you want to freeze?
Answer: For the fresh containers yes its freezer-safe however, zipper bags are designed for use in keeping food fresher in the refrigerator and are not designed for use in the freezer.
Answer: Yes, I buy large packages of meat and break them down into these bags and freeze them.
Answer: Absolutely, that accounts for 85-90% of my FoodSaver usage. Meats and vegetables as well. When all my kids (4) were at home I would occasionally by a whole rid-eye, tenderloin, or NY strip. Whatever I didn't use I would cut to ready-to-cook size and save in FoodSaver bags. Thawed out a year later they were like you just cut them. Also, we grew a lot of string beans and put them up the same way. I found a bag in the bottom of the freezer that was 7 years old and they were still fine! Eliminating the air space and the moist air that was in it stops freezer burn from ever happening.
Answer: Yes. It is ideal for such items
Answer: Yes
Answer: Yes.
Q:
Do you know that this is labeled wrong
Answer: It was not labeled wrong when I bought it. I got what I ordered.
Answer: Certainly is!! My review was for the item pictured, a Food Saver. Gee I didn’t get a dough hook....will make sure description is correct next time.
Q:
Can you press button again to stop vacuuming for more delicate items?
Answer: Absolutely! You can stop the vacuum cycle at any time by pressing the start button again.
Answer: Yes, you can stop the vacuuming process by pushing the button.
Q:
Does it come with an instruction manual?
Answer: Hello, this is Filip from FoodSaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our Fresh Food Preservation System. Yes, it does come with a manual.
Answer: Yes, it comes with a small booklet.
Answer: Yes, it comes with some straight forward directions
Answer: Not that I recall, but it’s pretty self explanatory. Make sure you watch the video on Amazon since that should explain how to use this little appliance. Hope this helps!
Answer: Yes of course it does. It will show you how to use the bags and storage containers.
Answer: Yes but it’s pretty easy to figure out
Q:
Are there less expensive bags that work with this?
Answer: I don’t know. Have not found any
Q:
How many days does it to take to vacuum all the air out?
Answer: Days? No. If you use the included containers and they properly seal it should take seconds, not days to vac out all the air that it can.
Answer: Hello, this is Marcin from Foodsaver care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our FoodSaver Fresh Food Preservation System, Space Saver. It takes few minutes for the appliance to complete the vacuum process.
Answer: Days? It takes seconds to vacumm air out of bags or containers
Answer: Well, if you don't get a good seal and stand on one leg while vacuuming, I would say way less than one day before you fall over. However, that said, if you actually want to know the average seal time per bag, about 30 seconds.
Answer: Actually it is much quicker than that,maybe a minute or two to take the air out of a quart or gallon size zip bag
Answer: It works great. Just besure bag is sealed very tight
Answer: It’s about 30seconds at most
Answer: Sorry. I returned mine.
Q:
There are 2 systems listed for sale with different price points. The description is identical. Does anyone know the difference ?
Answer: The Foodsaver Fresh appliance is for the refrigerator and I love it. It extends the life of anything you seal in these bags --I am not a fan of the containers. For lunch meats and cheeses, they extend the life of food because it works like the Foodsaver freezer bags. However, these bags are like zip-loc bags and you can open and then reseal them. By taking the air out of the bags, it is like buying them vacuum packed. These also work great for fruit and vegetables. Apples do not turn brown when cut up and sealed in these bags. Hope this helps.
Answer: I did not purchase this bundle..only the appliance and bags. My experience with the containers is that the appliance does not really seal them that well, but it works wonderfully with the bags. I love the product, and use it daily
Q:
Does this comes in 220V?
Answer: I really don’t know the manufacturer couldtell you
Q:
Will the accessory hose fit into the head of this to seal jars?
Answer: I don’t believe this particular food saver has a hose, as you have to order the special bags and containers to use on this machine. I use this machine to reseal items that I use over and over again, such as luncheon meats, cheeses, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables.
Answer: The FoodSaver Fresh System is designed for Vacuum Zipper Bags and the Fresh Containers.
Answer: No
Q:
Does this have an accessory point so I may use for the bottle stoppers?
Answer: Hello,
Answer: No, it doesn’t have the accessory port.
Answer: No, but if you know anyone with a 3D printer who’s in search of an idea, it would be easy to design an insert which would allow you to attach a tube.
Q:
it says it comes with 2 of the quart and 2 gallon bags. does that mean it comes with 4 bags, or 4 packs of bags?
Answer: Comes with 4 bags, not 4 packs. I bought extra but they are reusable depending on what you use them for!
Answer: It comes with 2 of each. I got this recently and my husband and I love it!
Answer: 4 bags, but I have washed and reused mine. They are great
Q:
Can you or can you not use these bags to freeze meat?
Answer: The company says no, but I do! Once in a while, they lose their seal. I freeze the meat first, then put it in the bag, or the sealer sucks out the juice. I love it!
Answer: The Vacuum Zipper Bags are designed to be stored in the pantry and refrigerator.
Answer: I freeze meat in them all the time. Sometimes I use parchment paper around the meat and other times I don't.
Answer: Yes
Answer: Yes that is what I use them for after i use food saver to suck the air out. It keeps your food from getting freezer burnt.
Answer: yes, you sure can. Thx
Answer: Yes.
Answer: Yes
Q:
Can you use other ziploc bag brands or does it have to be the FoodSaver ones?
Answer: FoodSaver Space-Saver Fresh Appliance System can be used for Zipper Bags & Fresh Containers
Answer: I often put things in cheap sandwich bags and zipper storage bags with only a half to quarter inch of the zipper open then put them into the clean FoodSaver bags before vacuum sealing. For sous vide cooking I seal the sandwich bags manually inside the FoodSaver bags after vacuuming. Then when it is time to cook, I remove the inside bag which is free of air and put it in the water.
Answer: only fresh saver bags work with this device
Answer: Food saver bags
Q:
Can i use my Foodsaver cannisters and canning jar tools with this?
Answer: The FoodSaver FoodSaver Space-Saver Fresh Appliance System works exclusively with FoodSaver vacuum zipper bags and Fresh Containers.
Q:
Is this unit compatible with the foodsaver jar sealer accessories for canning jars?
Answer: This FreshSaver unit is compatible with the zipper bags and Fresh Containers.
Answer: Unfortunately I have not used the canning jars, typically the compatibility of accessories would be displayed on the package.
Answer: DON'T KNOW. SORRY!!
Answer: Yes it is
Q:
Why did i not get the 1- 5 cup container in my order? will they be sending it to me. who can i contact?
Q:
Can you utilize any size Fresh Container with this Foodsaver?
Answer: You are correct! The FoodSaver Space-Saver Fresh Appliance System has an adjustable head to seal vacuum zipper bags and any size Fresh Containers.
Q:
can i use any vacuum seal bags?
Answer: I don’t know about bags. This unit ruined several Foodsaver 8 cup containers. I use 8 cup in my kitchen daily, opening & resealing. I used these to keep mixed nuts fresh, daily servings, open resealing.... same as containers in kitchen. Using this, containers started spider cracks and failure to vacuum in less then a month. It’s current in goodwill box. To me , it’s awkward for doing the reseal bags (which only reseal about 3 or 4 times before they fail). Love the vacuum seal ones! Very disappointed in resealable options.
Answer: As long as it has the disk for vacumn seal
Answer: I'm don't believe so, but I know Food saver bags do!
Answer: I was able to use this machine on various bags and containers, just make sure to align the nozzle with the bags' ports.
Answer: I don't know about any, but I can use Ziploc Freezer and another brand that I don't have any and I can't remember their name.
Answer: No.
Q:
Can this be used to seal mason jars if you have the jar accessory?
Answer: On this one no, there is no where to attache the hose for use on vacuum attachment. I have the bigger vacuum sealer with the mason jar attachment and it works great.
Answer: Yes. My husband prepares a weeks worth of fruit in small mason jars. We couldn't figure out how to keep them fresh until we came upon the idea of "sealing" them with our Food Saver countertop system. It's amazing how long they stay fresh by doing this. You have to have the proper accessory, though. Good luck.
Answer: No because there is a piece on the container s themselves that match the machine to draw the air out
Q:
How do you do seal cookies without them getting crushed? My soninlaw is in the service and would like homemade cookies.
Answer: You can stop it before it gets to squished. I love this machine. It sits on my counter. I have the big sealer with the rolls but hated taking it out every time I wanted to seal something.
Answer: Sounds like a delicious care package! You can stop the Space-Saver Fresh Appliance System when you feel it has removed enough air out of the bag. You will simply have to watch it for the timing to get it right.
Answer: You put them on a flat tray and freeze them first, and when you do seal them when you see most of the air is out stop it , they should be fine, I would bubble wrap the. When shipping, hope this helped, Thank him for his Service to our country MERRY CHRISTMAS
Answer: I have not tried using it for cookies, but if its anything like the counter model w/o the pulse control it will crush soft cookies. There is no way to gauge the amount of suction to use, it goes until it is done. I hope this answers your question.
Answer: You don't, unless you put them in a box
Q:
What's the best FoodSaver Model for long-term pantry storage of dehydrated tomatoes/fruits that otherwise mold (very here) if not refrigerated?
Answer: While I'm not sure which model is best I would make this suggestion. If you will be storing items in bags and NOT using the entire contents at one time I would use this model with the resealable bags. You can use what you need then reseal it and extract the air. If it is something you will use in it's entirety then I would use one of the models where you can customize the bag size. A bit pricier but maybe in the long run more economical if you aren't one to reuse your storage bags. If you do reuse your storage bags I would say this model would be good if the quart or gallon size bags are what you need.
Answer: This one does just as good as the large food saver. I am very happy with it.
Q:
I just got m machine, and in the lids there is a little cover. Does this come off when using? I have found nothing in the information about this.
Answer: No, do not remove it before you use the sealer. You remove and clean it when you clean the cover.
Answer: You leave it on because this is part of the sealer...it is removable so that you can clean it.
Q:
I have trouble getting a good seal on the containers. Does anybody have any hints ?
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: Use this upstairs for husbands mixed nuts (salt). It occasionally doesn’t seal,I have him wipe rim and check lid for salt. I have the regular vacuum unit downstairs.... good vacuum in general, some vegetables require resealing, assuming due to gases etc from vegetables. For most foods, I just make sure rims clean and dry, push down on all 4 corners as you seal. Most things, other than a few fresh vegetables, seal and hold until I open, overall, works really well on Bags and containers.
Answer: Mine broke in six months
Answer: W
Q:
It's impossible to tell which bags are compatible with this machine, even many FoodSaver bags look like heat seal only. Any help?
Answer: Look for the circular vent that the vacuum needs to cover to pull out the air. The bags have a zip top with the vent just below on the right.
Answer: they do have bags specifically for this sealer. go directly to the foodsaver website to learn all about them and compare prices..if you are a prime member it's a no brainer. hope I've helped
Answer: Foodsaver vacuum sealer bags are the ones to use. Walmart has them. They can be washed and reused and are like a ziplock bag at the top and a circle near the top right corner for the suction.
Answer: The FoodSaver Fresh System Appliance is compatible only with the Zipper Bags & Fresh Containers.
Answer: I go by the small round opening for the machine to fit in I haven’t had any problems Hope this helps
Answer: You need the ones that say zipper bags. There is a spot in the upper right corner that handles the vacuum.
Answer: This machine works with the reusable food saver bags and containers.
Answer: you need the bags that zip lock and have a little hole at the top to place under the suction cup
Q:
what is the wattage on the product?
Answer: Thank you for your interest in FoodSaver products! The wattage of this model is 21 W. We hope you may find this information helpful!
Answer: I don’t know the wattage. However, it kept cracking Foodsaver containers & ruining them. I threw this away after months of fighting with FoodSaver company. Since that time (about 1 year ago) most of the MANY containers I had have failed & gradually hit the garbage. I will stick with the bags & my full counter top Foodsaver vac system.
Q:
will the other vaccum container work? which has different nozzle
Answer: It does not work with the large food saver machine.
Answer: Not sure what you mean? I am not aware of the other one. I have not had any other one with a nozzle
Q:
Are there any adapters to make this work for sealing mason jars?
Answer: I don't think so - I didn't get any home/lid attachments. Look into the FoodSaver Hand Held product (FM2100), but it has to be used with their countertop sealing system and I don't know how it works or what is included.
Answer: As far as I can tell it only works with the new clear containers and zip bags. My Mason jar adapter has a hose that need to be connected to the aux port on the vacuum sealer
Answer: The FoodSaver Fresh Food Preservation System will work with zipper bags and Fresh Containers.
Answer: Perhaps, but we have yet to see any
Q:
Are the bags BPA free?
Answer: The original bag says “BPA free multi layer protection” Also, says NOT intended for freezer or liquids which I did not know.....
Answer: Yes they are BPA free
Q:
To Manufacturer: When will the quart size bags be available? Was very happy with my purchase but if is a discontinue item and bags no longer available

Product reviews of FoodSaver Fresh Food Preservation System, Space Saver
Rhonda : Easy to use
Works great, easy to use.
Evan Marks : Powerful! Small counter top real estate needed. EASY EASY EASY!
IT JUST WORKS EASILY EVERY TIME IN A VERY DEPENDABLE WAY. WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?
RK : Ready to use instantly, cost effective and works beautifully.
What a time and cost saver. I have probably saved twice it’s cost alone, in cheese. The counter footprint is so small I leave it out in my tiny kitchen all the time. I was so impressed and thankful, that I purchased this machine for all my adult kids last Christmas. Lunch meats, cheese, chopped veggies...it does it all in seconds and conveniently. I have a really fine large food saver that I have used for quite some time, but it is heavier, bulky and must be inconviently stored away. Pks. are somewhat expensive, but reuseable.
elizabeth luera : Works great

Lancer : Real space saver
FoodSaver Fresh Food Preservation System, Is a real Space Saver and very convenient. I love it. Does not take up a lot of space and so very easy to use. I recommend it!
MSMcD : Great buy.
Love this, so easy to use.
colesen : great compact size and easy to use.
This works great. Since I cook for one I can't use up a whole bottle of sauce or package of veg. I freeze sauces in silicone ice cube trays, pop them out when frozen then seal them and stick them back in the freezer. I can take out just what I need and reseal the rest for later. I freeze lemon juice the same way, and salsa. I've kept a bag of power greens fresh for over two weeks in the larger hard container. It's a big help and money saver if you're cooking for one. I really like the small foot print. I keep it a corner of the counter next to my fridge so it's handy to reseal something quickly. I live at 4500 ft and my previous vacuum sealer didn't work well at that altitude. This one works fine.
namekarB : Great product, bad accessories
Really like this product. Ood suction. Problem is finding container & bags that stay airless. The containers that came with the food saver &
foodsaver bags leak!
Sharon : Five Stars
Best counter top appliance we have purchased in a very long time. :Love it.
Anne L. Cepela : Very useful
This is an awesome little product. It is a lot more compact then the horizontal ones and works way better than the handheld ones. I’m not real big on washing plastic bags, or rather drying them. Working on a solution to that
Estelle m Cote : Five Stars
Love it. It’s great
A. : Too Loud
I hate how loud it is, but it works well.
Michelle Lyman : I love this thing
I love how well this thing works and how easy it is to just keep handy on the counter top because it doesn't take up much room. I use it daily with both the containers and the bags. I have a big sealer with rolls of bags you can make to size but it's such a pain to drag out and use. This sealer is in use with the resealable bags and containers multiple times a day!! The bags and containers are an investment to be sure but it's a winning combination and well worth it.
Wandering the Globe : This is a great little machine.
This think is great. I have lived alone for most of my life and have been through several foodsavers. I often loan mine to other singles in my group. This one is really cool with the containers for soft items. I bought two sets of the containers and they are always being used. They work really well with keeping fresh herbs in the fridge. Guac also lasts a lot longer and does not oxidize as badly (it comes in a container which I put into the food saver container. This one is super easy to use and takes up little space on the counter so it can stay out. I still use my big one for some things, but this one gets a daily workout.
Some people have said they had problems with the containers sealing. I did find that sometimes I had to press down on the corners of the container while it was in the machine to get the green spot to dimple. But normally they work just fine for me.
David KC Le : This works perfectly...
My wife was very sceptical at first but after a few days, she's taken ownership of it and purchased more containers.
:-)
Grammy : works !
I use this DAILY for all my storage of refrigeration and freezer. USEFUL for so many other things... like sucking the air out of your former husband. Just kidding.
Mike : Mom loved it
Gave it to my mother for Christmas and she is using it all the time.
Nancy J. : Very good buy.
Machine is very easy to use, works far better than the handheld one. Small space needed to store.
Wish the suction device on the bags were better quality, sometimes the ring falls off in the freezer for no apparent reason, and no more suction.
Beverly Littles : Semi Satisfied
I love how easy this product is to use and the convenience of resealing when I need too. I ordered the extra containers and the large rectangular container does not work properly. I finally got it to seal, but it did not hold. When I went to get the item out of the refrigerator that I had stored in it, it was not under pressure.
Brenda Faircloth : Love this product
I like it since those bags were only ones I could find at time. Haven’t tried the containers yet.
namekarB : Great product, bad accessories

Allison Raia : Very good!
Works much better than the handheld version!
Linda Duensing : FoodSaver Fresh Food Preservation System
It is easier to use on something small and we really like the idea of using the bowls.

Amazon Customer : FoodSaver is the best kitchen appliance you can buy!!!!!
I rarely do reviews on products but this one I will. There is nothing to dislike about any of the FoodSaver products I don’t know why it took me so long to purchase one. I have the larger one which I use almost daily I purchased it many years ago for vegetables and meats. No freezer burn ever I have purposely kept a pkg of vegetables for years to see how long they would be good. I don’t think they would spoil or taste freezer burn ever. This one is just as valuable I don’t think you could go wrong purchasing any of the FoodSavers if used correctly you will get years of good food without anything spoiling.
????Customer : It works, but it’s not the best option for me
I speak as a person currently living solo. I personally found the whole procedure irritating.
— the machine is loud, needs counter space, & needs an electrical outlet.
— it’s time-consuming to bag up things, get the air duct lined up just so, then wait for the air to be sucked out.
— washing the bags and plastic containers is a PITA.
— bags can be expensive.
— the plastic containers are too big, bulky, & expensive.
— it’s hard to portion control things due to the size of the bags & containers. I still need to use smaller baggies inside the Food Saver bags.
— items can still get freezer burn.
I stopped using it and found a better way for me. I just use cheap, snack size (3.25” x 6.5”) baggies for my portions, roll out the air & seal them, then put them inside a standard Ziploc type of freezer bag. I can usually put several portions of an item in one freezer bag, then I roll out that air. Done! Very easy to do. Very easy to extract my daily portion & re-roll. No noise. No machinery. About the same freezer life.
I don’t reuse the snack baggies, but do reuse the freezer bags until they’ll no longer seal well.
I think this machine might be more useful for larger-sized meals.
arm : I love it. Most foods stay an extra week or ...
This item does what it says! I love it. Most foods stay an extra week or 10 days when saved with this Food Saver (much longer in the freezer). However, there are some foods it will not save well, however Food Saver has been forthright with explaining which foods those are (which is honest and great), etc. - mushrooms.
Evan Marks : Powerful! Small counter top real estate needed. EASY EASY EASY!
IT JUST WORKS EASILY EVERY TIME IN A VERY DEPENDABLE WAY. WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?
LEROY GETTLE JR. : FOODSAVER
WORKS GREAT SO FAR!!!!
RHSPT : Very effective
I don't write reviews often but am so pleased with this that I need to . I debated about buying a larger, more expensive food saver and am really glad I did not. I am one person and find that food spoils often because I do not use it in time. This counter top food saver really sucks all of the air out of the bags, and I assume the canisters as well, but you can't really see it. It is ridiculously easy to use. Like others have stated, the containers are hard to open once vacuumed, but I used the trick one reviewer posted and stick a spoon lightly under the rubber seal and it opens right up. Its small and sits on the counter so I use it like any other counter top utensil without the need to store it after each use. Very pleased with this purchase. UPDATE: still works great but not nearly as well on moist food. I now know why some food savers have a moist food setting. Also, it is VERY loud, didn't think it would matter to me but its so loud that I wonder if it bothers the neighbors in the next apartment. The canister stopped working after about a month. All in all for the price, a great product.
Amazon Customer : Easy to use
I like it is so convenient better than any other ones that I have use

CS Pillsbury : Handy
So much handier than the big one so we use it more
vicki knight : Great
Love it
Mike : Mom loved it

Lancer : Real space saver
FoodSaver Fresh Food Preservation System, Is a real Space Saver and very convenient. I love it. Does not take up a lot of space and so very easy to use. I recommend it!
Writer Girl : Love!!!
This machine sucks as much air as it possibly can out of the bags, keeping products fresh for a lot longer. No guess work either. The machine shuts off when all the air is extracted. I absolutely love it!
Amazon Customer : No lasting seals. This product is great for one week... then it fails.
Seals on the canisters stop working after 3 or 4 uses. I am also on my third Foodsaver main unit. This company blows chunks.
La Hashimoto : Works great..
LOVE THIS SEALER...EZ TO USE..
Brenda Faircloth : Love this product
I like it since those bags were only ones I could find at time. Haven’t tried the containers yet.
juan : No good
it doesn't seal more than half the time i have to keep squeezing the lid for it to seal.
Stephanie Cherry : Five Stars
Good product, good price.
elizabeth luera : Works great
Works great ????????
Jade Kauffman : In several weeks, it has never once failed.
I have bags and storage boxes that I use this for and it seals everything perfectly every time. It has a slightly raised platform on its base. You line up the circle in the bag or the oval on top of the box there and lower the head. A green light comes on when the connection is made and you can leave the rest to the Saver. I've used various other kids of savers and this one beats them all. Lately, its even beating my Game Saver. I haven't noticed any lag with quantity of seals, or any failed seals later. It is becoming my best friend. You will not regret the money spent on this one. Don't waste your money working your way up to this saver. Just buy and love it.
MSMcD : Great buy.
Love this, so easy to use.
Jack RedL : Easy to use.
Works well, but can't use the bags if there is liquids, you need to use the hard containers.
Rachelle S. : Must have in any kitchen!
I wish I didn’t wait so long to breakdown and buy this! I use mine every single day. Works perfectly. Love the containers and baggies. Makes me feel so much better that my food is immediately protected from any mold, bacteria, pathogens, etc. I have purchased so many containers. I highly recommend this. If you are contemplating please don’t hesitate. This is a kitchen game changer. Especially if you have to do meal prepping like myself and prepare food for several days. Or even if you have leftovers. It is perfect for those as well.
