Questions about FoodSaver FM3920 2 in 1 Vacuum Sealer System with Quick Marinate Mode and Starter Kit | Safety Certified | Silver
Q:
What all comes in the box?
Answer: Great question! The starter kit includes (1) 11" x 10' heat seal roll, (3) 1-quart heat seal bags, (2) 1-gallon heat seal bags, and accessory hose.
Q:
Can you quick marinate in the bags instead of having to buy the separate container?
Answer: Yes works very well. I have done chicken, steaks, and fish. Put your choice of meat and marinade in a bag, seal, and regfridgerate. I let them marinate over night.
Answer: I’ve never tried this method but think it may work. Great idea!
Q:
Will this unit allow me to double seal both ends of the bag? I sous vide and prefer to double seal.
Answer: Yes but you have to manually do it. After you make the initial cut, fill and and seal, just place the bag back under the sealing strip with the sealed ends slightly off from the first one. You will have to do this for each end. However, you probably don't need to double seal for sous vide … the initial seal should hold up fine.
Answer: Sure. You can seal it as many times as you want. Each seal is done one at a time, but only takes a few seconds.
Answer: Sure. You can seal it as many times as you like.
Answer: yes broke cutter had to send machine back they sent a new one did not have part I needed
Q:
Will this seal the glossy bags? I think the material might be mylar? I'm referring to the same type of bags that electronics are sent it.
Answer: Hello, this is Sandra from FoodSaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our FoodSaver FM3920. We recommend only sealing FoodSaver bags as we have not tested our machines on other materials than the ones we use. Have a great day.
Answer: I am not sure about the glossy bags. However, I will say that I have a variety of bags from past vacuum sealers, the ones that have an area that has a circle on it. I put the bag sealer over the hole, and it seals the bags. As far as a regular glossy bag goes, the thing that I would worry about is that the glossy bags might melt with the heat from the sealer. If you purchase the item from Amazon, you have 30 days to return it, if its does not work to your satisfaction.
Answer: They only approved bags are those provided by FoodSaver
Q:
Is the hand sealer accessory removable? If it is removed, for cleaning or malfunction, will the sealer work without it? Thanks!
Answer: I don't believe the hand sealer is removable unless you were to cut the hose. Which would be foolish. FoodSaver could tell you if the machine works without it, but it probably would because you have to push the "Accessory" button to use it. I've never had a problem with mine, aside from needing to learn how to retract it properly at times. I can't see a need to clean the hand sealer, but then I freeze liquids before sealing anyway, to ensure a seal. Otherwise liquid can get sucked up through the sealing area and then the bag might be wasted.
Q:
how doi cancle orer????
Answer: First write in English then we might be able to help.
Q:
When I vacuum seal, do I still need O2 absorbers?
Answer: Hello Rogue, this is Salumu from Foodsaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our Foodsaver FM3920. No, you do not need O2 absorbers.
Answer: I don't use O2 absorbers for dehydrated foods nor frozen foods. When food is vacuum sealed, there should be no or very little O2 in the package. It may depend on what type of food you are putting in the bag and how you store it.
Answer: I've been using this sealer for a couple of years and am pleased with it. I've never felt the need to use O2 absorbers, and have had good results in food quality and preservation for, well, over a couple years in the freezer.
Answer: Apparently not, we don't know what an O2 absorber is. We like our Food Saver a lot. Works great.
Answer: No.
Q:
Where is it made?
Answer: Thank you for your interest in FoodSaver products! Our FoodSaver Machines are manufactured in China. Happy sealing!
Answer: Thank you for your interest in FoodSaver products! Our FoodSaver Machines are manufactured in China. Happy sealing!
Q:
will the jar sealers work with this machine?
Answer: Hello, this is Salumu from FoodSaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our Foodsaver FM3920. Yes, this appliance is compatible with the jar sealer, you only have to detach the hose's adapter.
Answer: Not sure I understand the question. Foodsaver sells jars with a probe on top that serves the purpose of extracting air, and yes this machine will suck the air of such jars as it comes with a suction tube and matching connector for the probe.
Answer: Yes. This Sealer can handle Mason Jars also. Wide mouth.
Answer: Never had a chance to find out.
Q:
Does it work with 240v?
Answer: Hello Omar, this is Salumu from Foodsaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our Foodsaver FM3920. No, all our appliances are compatible with 110-120 V.
Q:
Where can i find a vacuum sealer hose for a foodsaver vac550 ?
Answer: I think you would have to order the hose from the food saver shop. Go online to their website and put in accessories and find the hose that you need.
Q:
which power volted 120v or 220v thank you
Answer: All of our foodsaver machines sold in the Unite States have the 110-120V.
Answer: 120v
Answer: 120v
Answer: All our foodsaver vacuum sealing machines sold in the USA use the 110V.
Answer: 120 v
Answer: United States, 120
Q:
You can boil the food in these bags to eat too?
Answer: There a variety of bags to choose from so you’d have to check to see if there is a bag specifically for this purpose.
Answer: I do in a water bath at a slow temp never a rolling boil
Answer: Yep! We use them in our sous vide all the time!
Q:
The item description says color is silver but all I see are black colored units in pics ... Are there different colors or only the one pictured?
Answer: My is black with silver!
Q:
What dos safety certified mean?
Q:
Can this appliance be used in countries that use 220 volts at 60 hertz?
Answer: You can buy a converter, which might be useful for other appliances as well.
Answer: Short answer absolutely not! It would go up in smoke. The plug on this vacuum sealer is directly wired into the unit. It's not like a laptop with a transformer that converts just about any voltage and frequency to pure DC (direct current) and has a battery. Yes you can buy adapter plugs but they WILL NOT work with this vacuum sealer.
Q:
Handheld sealer will not retract. Has anyone else had this problem?.??
Answer: I initially had that problem. Called FoodSaver and the customer service rep guided me through what to do. Very helpful. Better to follow their guidance than mine.
Answer: if you haven't done so already pull the cord out all the way and then hope it releases. If that does not work I have no suggestions other than to return for replacement or credit
Answer: Gave as gift ,do not know
Answer: Please clarify, don't understand question
Q:
Is this food saver a V3000 Series?
Answer: Hello, this is Salumu from Foodsaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our Foodsaver FM3920 2in1. Yes, this is a V3000 Series.

Q:
What is Overall dimension of machine?
Answer: 18 long 5 high 7wide
Q:
How can I get a replacement instruction guide for this machine. Mine was lost in a move and the food saver site doesn’t recognize this model.
Answer: Hello,
Q:
Can smaller food sealer rolls be used? Such as those with a six inch, or eight inch width?
Answer: Yes, you can use the FoodSaver 8" or 11" rolls with the FM3920.
Answer: this food saver does not use rolls in the machine. you have to cut the rolls to fit what you are saving and then use the machine to seal the package. Because of that, you can use various sizes.
Q:
Does this operate 110-220v for europe?
Answer: Standard voltage for Europe is 230 volts at 50 Hertz. The U.S. is 120 volts and 60 Hertz. While you can buy a transformer to get the voltage down the difference in Hertz remains and the transformers are not inexpensive. If you do buy the transformer it will probably work but not guaranteed.
Answer: 110 volts
Q:
How much of the edge is sealed, like a half inch each side?
Answer: It seals all the way across the bag. I'm using the large bags and it covers them end to end. The seal itself is about 1/8 of an inch in thickness.
Answer: The strip is thin but I guess about 1 inch total with extra bag
Answer: He's about that, but you can adjust the placement and edge of deal can be larger
Answer: Yes
Q:
With the accessory attachment does it seal mason jars? Do you need to purchase additional equipment to get it to work?
Answer: Hello Dustin, this is Salumu from FoodSaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our FM3920. Yes, mason jars are compatible with this appliance. You don't need additional equipment, the hose adaptor is detachable.
Answer: This did NOT seal mason jars. Items are placed in plastic bags purchased from them and then this removes air and seals. Meats last longer.
Answer: It does not seal mason jars. The attachment works on bags that come with the device.
Answer: Because it has the suction tube attached to the machine it does all functions that other models have. I've never tried sealing mason jars but if other FS units seal them this one will also.
Q:
when placing roll in machine, does the sheet go over or under the roll?
Answer: Over worked fine.
Q:
Where Is this product made?
Answer: It says the machine is made in the USA. The bags are made in China.
Q:
Where can you order the jar attachment?
Q:
Can this cut and seal at the same time? mine current one, i pull the bag out to my length, i close the lid, hit seal and while sealing i can cut it.
Answer: Hello, this is Salumu from FoodSaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our FoodSaver FM3920. You have to seal then cut the bag later, for more information could you please check the video of this appliance on Youtube.
Answer: Hello, this is Salumu from FoodSaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our FoodSaver FM3920. You have to seal then cut the bag later, for more information you can check video of this appliance on Youtube.
Answer: Yes. I actually juggle the roll back a bit after sealing before I cut so that I can reduce waste on the bag roll material. But you can cut and seal at the same time with this model.
Answer: Mine is broken and have not had a response back...
Answer: Yes, that is exactly the way it works.
Q:
How bags do you get with starter kit
Answer: Just enough to get you used to it. The next box to buy will last a long time. Well worth it it’s great!
Answer: It does come with an a assortment. But suggest you do order additional
Q:
Does this model continue to pull a vacuum while the heating element is sealing the bag?
Answer: Not sure what your question is getting at but, in case this helps - No air leaks back into the bag while it's being sealed, unless during the process some liquid gets sucked up through the top or the bag itself is folded or puckered at the top. Then some air can be left in the bag during the seal or the seal might not be completed. I've never tried using the "moist" or "marinate" modes, both of which suggest that the vacuum function ceases before the sealing process. I use my FoodSaver for freezer storage only and I pre-freeze anything likely to be wet or spongy.
Answer: Hi. The system removes air, one of the main causes of mold and food spoilage, from bags and creates an airtight seal to lock in freshness.Airtight Heat Seal.
Answer: No it doesn't . Holds the vacuum though.
Answer: It held a vacuum while it was sealing when it still worked
Answer: You can seal AND vacuum or just seal.
Answer: You can deal AND vacuum or only seal
Answer: no
Answer: No
Answer: Yes!
Q:
If purchased from the foodsaver website I receive a 5 year warranty. Will I still get the 5 year warranty when purchasing directly from amazon?
Answer: Yes., the FM3920 will come with a full 5 year warranty.
Answer: Yes
Answer: Not sure.
Q:
Can you boil the food in hot water in these bags?
Answer: Yep! We do all the time in our sous vide!
Q:
Will it work on custom sized bags that are not the full width of the sealing mechanism? I can't do it on the machine i bought but could on my old one
Answer: It should work on any bag up to the max width of the machine
Answer: I believe so as long as it doesn’t exceed the maximum width of the machine.
Q:
Is this for moist and dry?
Answer: While this FoodSaver does have the moist option, we do recommend flash freezing any foods with considerable moisture prior to vacuum sealing.
Answer: Yes, there is a button for moist.
Q:
I purchased one january 29, 2019. today it completely stopped working. no power. how do i get it replaced?
Answer: You can purchase the item from Amazon or go to the food saver website and order the machine from there. I can tell you that Amazon is cheaper than the food saver site on the same machines. I have checked them out, and the bags are cheaper on Amazon also.
Q:
Can you use this to seal up my whole chickens that i raise they weight around six pounds?
Answer: Yes. Just make a really large 11” bag.
Answer: Sorry I just got this a couple of weeks.
Q:
What is the voltage of this product?
Answer: All of our products that are sold in the United States and Canada are manufactured and UL approved for 110-120 voltage. We do not recommend using them in different countries due to the difference in voltage. Additionally, doing so will void your warranty.
Q:
How many watts please?
Answer: The FM3920-ECR runs up to 130 watts.
Q:
Would this work with a mylar bag?
Answer: dont know I only use food saver bags
Q:
What’s the difference between marinating using this vs a regular method?
Answer: When you marinate the regular way, the meat lays in the marinade and absorbs up the meat. When you use the food saver, you put the marinade and meat in the container, then vacuum the air out, and it opens the meat pours up, and allows the marinade to more fully get inside the meats.
Answer: Cuts 2/3 of the time off marinating. Pulls marinade into the protein
Answer: WITH Compatible DEVICES IT MARINATES much MORE QUICKLY
Answer: Hello,
Answer: You get a deeper marinade, it pulls the marinade into the meat.
Q:
How does quick marinate function work?
Answer: Works great
Q:
Can the quick marinator container be used with this model?
Answer: Great question! According to the manufacturer's website, the FM3920 Vacuum Sealer can indeed be used with the FoodSaver Quick Marinator. Please see their website for more information.
Q:
does it come with a manual
Answer: yes, it does come with a manual. Also enough bags and a roll to get you started.
Answer: Hello, this is Filip from FoodSaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our FoodSaver FM3920. Yes, it does come with a manual.
Answer: I don’t think I remember one. But not sure. I had an issue and went online to figure it out. Once i Wen t online, i sorted it out. The one tip I can give you is that after you hit vac/seal and the light goes out, you also have to wait for seal light to go out.
Answer: Yes it does. Very easy to follow
Answer: YES
Q:
Will this seal Mylar bags?
Answer: Hello, this is Filip from FoodSaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our FoodSaver FM3920. We recommend only sealing FoodSaver bags as we have not tested our machines on other materials than the ones we use.
Answer: According to food saver yes you can plus other things.
Answer: I don’t know ????♀️ never tried.
Q:
Does this product work with older foodsaver vacuum containers?

Answer: It should. We use ours all the time
Answer: Yes. Believe so

Q:
whats the watts??? i want to know the power succion
Answer: 130W
Q:
Does the foodsaver fm3920 2-in-1 vacuum sealer operate on 110/220v or does it only use 110v ?
Answer: 110/220V
Answer: It is required to plug into the 110 volts only. It may mess with the device you will use on the 220 volts.
Answer: 110 volt only
Q:
Is this machine worth the money
Answer: It struggled sealing so I gave it away.
Q:
Does the machine only hold a 10' length of heat seal roll in the holder or can it hold the 16' or 25' rolls?
Answer: I received it with the 10' roll and ordered two 50' rolls with it. I doubt 25' will fit but it's no big deal just roll some on the cardboard tube that's left when you empty the 10' roll that came with it. The cardboard tubes from the 50' fit as well once you've taken a good bit off or emptied them.
Answer: It can definitely hold 16’ which is the standard FoodSaver 11” roll length. I prefer using foodsaver bags and rolls because they are higher quality and more consistent.
Product reviews of FoodSaver FM3920 2 in 1 Vacuum Sealer System with Quick Marinate Mode and Starter Kit | Safety Certified | Silver
Candi : Super easy to use.
Easy to operate. No even pushing down to lock the lid. Has a nice easy to use lever. Would highly recommend a food saver any style.
Gaylord : Great Value
This replaced one we have used for 14 years, They have changed the controls, but it works the same does a great sealing job. And Amazon makes shopping so easy and their service is top notch
mary : it does what it is suppose to.
I have had good service with this brand. have had it before and it works good.
RickB : Satisfied with this purchase
The power of the vacuum is great. This model is more compact than our last foodsaver and takes up less counter space.
TexARC, aka A.Ron Carmichael : Improvement over the one that died
The features are better than the one that was 2 years old that died. I like the functions - you can make a bag at the same time you vac-seal another, and this definitely saves me money on the rolls. I also figured out that when you choose "moist", that the function of sealing the bag burns longer to insure that the fluids get scorched good enough to make a positive seal. Often had "fails" with vacuum sealing on the older unit. It's actually shorter front-to-back, so fits better in the cupboard.
Lonnie E. Holder : Beautiful, well-built product comparable to our first sealer of more than a decade and a half ago
We have had a FoodSaver sealing system from just about the time they became widely available, shortly after the turn of the century. Since then, we have purchased many boxes of FoodSaver rolls, sealing thousands and thousands of dollars of food, with nearly no freezer burn issues. We were pleased to have the opportunity to review this updated FoodSaver sealer that advertises that it can seal any FoodSaver product.
We acquired two FoodSaver sealers after our original sealer. Unfortunately, though somewhat expensive, those sealers seemed lower quality than our original sealer. This sealer seems more similar in quality to our original sealer, which we consider a definite plus. What we mean is that this sealer feels sturdy and durable, and the sealers we purchased after our original sealer looked and felt lightweight and relatively cheaply made. Indeed, one died within several years of purchase, and the other had issues within a couple of years, though that one was repairable.
One thing we noticed immediately is that this sealer is the quietest of the sealers we have purchased, even with the rate of the vacuum pump being comparable to that of any of our previous vacuum sealers. Our other pumps seemed relatively noisy in comparison.
This sealer also comes with an attachment for sealing containers and pre-made bags with a side-sealer. In other words, this sealer will seal just about any current FoodSaver sealing product, which our previous sealer was incapable of doing (though there might be some sort of adapter, we did not search for such).
As expected, this sealer came with other features that we consider standard for FoodSaver sealers. More specifically, this sealer came with a drip tray, an internal compartment for sealer rolls, and a roll cutter in the lid. Also as expected, this sealer handles any FoodSaver roll.
We instantly liked the appearance and feel of this FoodSaver sealer. It appears comparable to the very first sealer we purchased, with a built-in adapter for containers and bags that have a side-sealing opening. Our original sealer was white, but the black of this sealer is just as beautiful, and is perhaps even more beautiful, though we anticipate keeping it clean might be more difficult than keeping the white clean. If the durability of this sealer is comparable to our original sealer, this sealer will indeed be a great sealer. Our rating of five stars is based principally on how well this sealer compares with our original sealer, which we considered to be a five-star product because of its very long (perhaps 15 years or more) life and heavy, well-built construction.
Enjoy!

Nathan : Don’t buy
Do not buy it used it twice and won’t suck the air out.
Kindle Customer : Improved model, easy to operate.
This is a vast improvement from the old models. Locking on means you don’t need 3 or more hands to hold the bag and operate the machine. The accessories feature is great! Works well with the reusable bags and the canning jar attachments.
Leverone Family Farm : Don’t waste your money
Bought in June 2020 and after only using it a few times it doesn’t seal jars or bags the motor just runs and doesn’t shut off. Very disappointed.
Linda Parsons : Doesn't seem to fully vacuum out all the air
I just bought this from a different source. I had one in the past and decided to invest in one again, but I feel like the vacuum isn't fully pulling all the air out like my old machine. With dry products it does great but with moist products (which is what I mostly have use for this--leftovers) it always seem to have a loose, leftover air-in-the-bag appearance. The vacuum seal setting is really short too. Barely 7 seconds. I remember my old machine running longer and really pulling all the air out no matter if I was using dry or wet food. It makes me nervous that the food will spoil since the bag is not fully vacuumed. I've tried different bags and it doesn't matter.

Ronald T. Roseborough : Nice Addition To The Kitchen
I have to admit, being little advanced in age, that I had my doubts as to whether or not I would like this product. Using some thing of newer technology can be daunting for me. My doubts quickly vanished as I used the FoodSaver for the first time by following the easy to understand instructions. I sealed off one end of the first bag and cut it to the length I wanted in no time. After inserting the meat to be frozen in the bag, I reinserted the top end of my new bag into the FoodSaver, pressed the Vacuum/Seal button. When the indicator light showed it was sealed, I cut the top of the bag from the roll by simply sliding the bag cutter button across the machine and I had a perfectly vacuum sealed bag ready for the freezer. The only thing you must be careful of is when raising the appliance lid to insert or remove bags you must allow the lid to click open securely into place, otherwise the lid can slip down on your fingers. A great product, glad I gave it a try.
Randy Z : Weekly Prep
Our family was tired of paying for frozen meals that are loaded with preservatives and excess sodium. A single day of prep work can produce meals for everyone for the entire week. Good meals with only the ingredients you want. Also works great at resealing other bags, so no more twist ties or bag clips. Just position the bag, lock the lid and press the seal button.
Amazon Customer : Good product
Buying in bulk
jesse mctamney : It works
Works as advertised
mike babiak : Worse than the 7 yr old unit I was replacing
This unit can work if you are sealing something completely dry. Even on the moist setting, this unit cannot seal. Any moisture or marinade will cause a failure. A single pepper flake or grain of salt will also cause the seal to fail. I bought this unit to replace a 7 yr old food saver and out of the box, it is much worse. To demonstrate, I included pictures of a bag with a splash of soy sauce inside. Ran it on the moist setting and the result was no seal was formed.
Leverone Family Farm : Don’t waste your money
Bought in June 2020 and after only using it a few times it doesn’t seal jars or bags the motor just runs and doesn’t shut off. Very disappointed.
Susan McDermott : FoodSaver
I love this product! It is just big enough without being bulky and doesn't take up much counter space or is small enough to store in a cabinet. Easy to use
CW : Junk
Used less than 6 times and will not complete vacuum before sealing.
William Case Fulcher : Noce
Nice. Seals well
Kathy L. Brown : Works great
Absolutely love it
Amazon Customer : Good deal
Works good
Joe Sabatino : Not worth it
This product is horrible. I've tried several times to use this machine and it has failed. I used their bags like advertised and the vacuum seal was still fair to poor after multiple attempts following their step by step instructions. Do not recommend
David : Better
Works better then the one had
Beth : Easy to Use
Easy to use and sturdy.
Mark Stewart : Save food dollars
Reduce your food cost. Great for one person less waste
mary : it does what it is suppose to.
I have had good service with this brand. have had it before and it works good.
Luis Reyes : Way better than my old sealer
So my first vacuum sealer was a pretty cheap one, only cost me about 20 bucks on amazon, it did the job, sometimes it needed a bit of help positioning the bags and whatnot. I used it tones for sousvide and after a while I wanted something a little bit stronger and got this. The vacuum pulls air like a champ compared to my cheaper sealer, I found it odd at first how the whole bag inside the machine worked and how you’re supposed to cut the bag. BUT a few tries here on the first day with about 4 bags and found it very convenient, because if you do it how the manual says, every time you pull a new bag, its already sealed at the end, the included cutter is very nice, no longer shall I cut crooked bags. The heating element takes a bit to seal the bag, personally its not a problem for me (it takes about 20 seconds ish) my cheaper one was faster but it also tended to cut the bag with heat. One problem I had with the old one was sealing stuff like potatoes or carrots for example it would leave a few pockets of air in the cluster of carrots or potatoes that when doing sousvide, would expand, so far with this sealer with potatoes it extracted all the air it could and I dont seem to have the same problem, soo, so far this is a win for me.
Kathy L. Brown : Works great
Absolutely love it
Pam : Nice
Love it!!!good size to keep it on top of the counter.
Wendi Barker : Nice Ability to Marinate, Items Freeze Better, Stay Fresh Longer
This is my first Foodsaver product and so far I like it. It is true that marinating with the bags or the marinade attachment is great - it allows the flavor to permeate the meat better and I think it makes the meat a bit more tender as well, but I can't prove that claim.
One thing a friend taught me was that I should cut the film sections a bit longer than I need because I can wash them and use them again, but you lose the bit of sealed plastic you have to cut off. Overall this is a great tip for making the cost of the rolls a bit easier to accept. I've done this for steaks and vanilla beans so far.
The FoodSaver website has some great information on how long things will last in the freezer/pantry/refrigerator, as well as tips and recipes.
The FoodSaver machine is nice and compact and the directions are easy to follow. Bags and rolls are also fairly compact and easy to store in the pantry.
The next thing I want to get is the canister system that you use with this machine.

Nathan : Don’t buy
Do not buy it used it twice and won’t suck the air out.
RickB : Satisfied with this purchase
The power of the vacuum is great. This model is more compact than our last foodsaver and takes up less counter space.
Beth : Easy to Use
Easy to use and sturdy.
makesmiles : Works great
We like this sealer. However, when you try to seal chip bags, the machine does not suck the air out of the bag. It does seal the bag but leaves the air in. Works fine with their sealer bags. This is our second Bag sealer. We like them both.
Edward M. : works well with some experience
I have been using this machine now for a few months and it works well after I learned with experience. The instructions are ok but could be better as to where exactly the bag need to be placed for a good seal. Also juices from the food can seep out into the machine if the bag is not placed correctly, but it does have a removable tray for this. Also you have to wait about 20 seconds in-between sealing to avoid overheating. I think that if you are planning to do a lot of vacuum bags, then the upgraded more expensive automatic machine would be better. I may upgrade in the future.
Susan West : Great product
It works wonderfully well. Im glad i paid a little moreand got the upgrade.
RickB : Satisfied with this purchase

B. Freeman : Very disappointed - does not vacuum/seal well
Received about a week ago, didn't open until yesterday... Let me just say that the only accurate thing about the description for this unit is that it is truly 4 lbs.
Does not remove all air as it shows in the pictures. Not even close. It struggles to remove any air and seal the bag. Lid constantly slams shut on your hands when you would love for it to stay open.
Bottom line - be thankful it's out of stock. Cheaply made. I don't recommend. I will be spending more money for a better machine. Extra time will have to be spent trying to send it back for a refund.

Michael Conover : Think for the price and name it last longer
Have only had this product for little over a year and half and has quit working completely, was in middle of using it and it just stopped no power to operate it. Very light usage on machine

wordgrandma : Great product
The food saver vacuum sealer is a great addition to my kitchen. I’ve been buying meat from a butcher and itcomes in very handy when it’s time to freeze all my purchases. It is lightweight and easy to use.
Kay Archer : Cord too short to reach wall outlet
I’ve been using FoodSavers for many years. You can’t beat this product for preserving foods in the freezer for long-term storage. With each new model,FoodSaver has improved its product. My complaint about this particular model is it’s short cord. The cord is so short that I have to use an extension cord in order to use the machine. I understand the reasoning behind a short cord - safety, they say - but this cord is too short. Which is safer: a cord on an appliance that is a few inches longer so it reaches the wall outlet or an extension cord?
bullseye37 : Great gift!
The wife LOVES it! Works smooth and much better then ziplock bags.
TexARC, aka A.Ron Carmichael : Improvement over the one that died
The features are better than the one that was 2 years old that died. I like the functions - you can make a bag at the same time you vac-seal another, and this definitely saves me money on the rolls. I also figured out that when you choose "moist", that the function of sealing the bag burns longer to insure that the fluids get scorched good enough to make a positive seal. Often had "fails" with vacuum sealing on the older unit. It's actually shorter front-to-back, so fits better in the cupboard.

Kindle Customer : Improved model, easy to operate.
This is a vast improvement from the old models. Locking on means you don’t need 3 or more hands to hold the bag and operate the machine. The accessories feature is great! Works well with the reusable bags and the canning jar attachments.
