Questions about FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer GM710-000 GameSaver Big Game Sealing System, reg, Black & 11" x 16' Vacuum Seal Roll | Make Custom-Sized BPA-Free Vacuum Sealer Bags | 3-Pack
Q:
When shopping for a vacuum sealer, What does it mean when it tells how many "consecutive seals" the vacuum sealer can do "without stopping"?
Answer: This is the number of times you can vacuum and seal a bag before the unit gets to hot to do this. I did have a different one before buying this one and could only do about five to ten bags before it would just flash the lights tell it cooled down.
Q:
Does this automatically shut off when maximum vacuum is achieved or must you manually stop the vacuum process.
Answer: It automatically shuts off.
Answer: It shuts of automatically.
Q:
Could i use another kind of bags (as resistant as the original)? i'm in south america and i may not be able to find the exactly foodsaver bags...

Answer: there is not a hand held sealer.
Answer: No. You close, and lock the sealer, then seal.

Can you use regular food saver bags or do they need to be game saver bags
Answer: You can use regular Food Saver bags. We have & they work fine.
Answer: Yes. You can use regular food saver bags.
Answer: Regular food saver bags will work

Q:
How much vacuum does this model pull?
Answer: I don't know the amount, but I compared to my other foodsavers and this one just makes it so much better. it is so tight and sealed and far better. try it and see the difference. have been wanting one that vacuums so much more air out and tight. thanks for asking and hope you are happy with it. like I said been thru 4 food savers in 20 years and they costed a lot more. have a great Thanksgiving.
Answer: I have one and after about 30 uses it doesn't have enough vacuum to complete the cycle. Not worth the extra money and would recommend a cheep one as this one is just a throw away model. Customer support is like a bag with hoes in it.
Answer: This is a great product I have no issues with it the machine pulls a deep vacuum on whatever you’re trying to seal. I Purchased this Product for big game hunting they did take us a whole day to do the processing you need to make sure all the blood is off of the meat before you Put the meat on a vacuum.
Answer: The “best answer” I can provide is, I have had no issues in sealing foods.
Q:
Will this unit seal the expandable bags
Answer: Yes it will. Just make sure it is folded the best you can before you seal. I’ve used plenty of expandable bags.
Q:
How much vacuum pressure or suction is created before sealing takes place. i do not see this in any of the food saver units. are they all the same?
Answer: Heat seal appliances and bags are about 15 inches of mercury. They are all the same amount except for the Titanium.
Answer: Yes, have had vacuum sealers for years, and that info isn't available. I can tell yhou that I like my Gamesaver.
Answer: Not sure how to answer this. I'll tell you this I've had many sealers but this is the best by far. Bought one for in-laws because I liked it so much.
Answer: Enough to work well. How do you want an answer? Pounds per square inch?
Q:
Will this fit 15 inch bags?
Answer: I know they will take 11 inch but you'd have to measure the width of the seal strip and vacuum chamber to see if a 15" bag would work.

Answer: China.
Q:
My brother loves his, but told me to make sure to get one that double sealed or created a wide seal. Can you tell me if this model fits the bill?
Answer: This one is a regular seal, but seems to seal well. We use it A LOT and when i need to make sure the seal is tight(if whatever i'm sealing is juicy) I just hit the seal button again, after it has gone through the sealing process, and that seems to do the trick. It works great and the recovery time is excellent.
Answer: It does create a wide seal. Have mine over year and love it.
Answer: Does not double seal.

Depending on the issue, the consumer may or may not have to cover shipping costs.
Q:
What size bags can you use in this, biggest to smallest? Also what's the largest roll that will fit? Such as a 100ft roll vs a 50ft roll would be thicker how long of a roll would fit?
Answer: They don't make those sized rolls as far as I know. I buy the quart wide and gallon wide bags.
Q:
How does this vacuum sealer do for wet foods? Does it have the wet foods and dry foods option or just one basic setting?
Answer: This vacuum sealer will handle up to 80 consecutive seals, and has a rugged design that was created with hunters, fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts in mind. This new design has intelligent sealing control, but does not have the dry/moist food selection feature. We recommend you pre-freeze meats and other moist foods for 1 - 2 hours before vacuum sealing. Excess liquids from moist foods can cause the unit not to vacuum and permanent damage can occur.
Q:
Does this have a regular plug for home use
Answer: Yes you have the option for home use and adapter for your vehicle. This is a great product that I have used for over a year. I am purchasing another for a Christmas present.

Answer: Yes.
Answer: Yes it does.

Q:
does this work for salmon?
Answer: Haven't tried it with salmon, but I don't see why not. Have sealed all types of meat.
Answer: Should work for any kind of meat. We use it on Snapper, Mahi, Wahoo, Grouper, Tuna, Etc.
Answer: Yes. We fillet our own salmon then use a sealer and the foodsaver bags to then freeze and bring home our salmon. As long as the fillets as relatively dry, they seal and keep real well.
Answer: This thing will work for a whale if you have a bag large enough! Powerful vacume keeps fish and game like fresh caught for months and months
Answer: Yes! The GameSaver Big Game is perfect for sealing all kinds of foods!
Answer: Absolutely.
Q:
We process many things from deer, hog to fish, shrimp and crab. When you say it doesn’t do moist, are you talking about large quantities of liquid?
Answer: We do moist things all the time. If you have something too wet, the tray will fill fast, but all I do is get the air out and hit the seal button. It works great. My problem with other models is that they would overheat after 20 bags. Not with this one! I haven't been able to overheat it yet and I use it for large quantities all the time. You will be happy with it
Answer: There is a drip tray in the foodsaver which allows some moisture to be extracted, when it comes to meats you can have it sealed frozen, or if it is fresh then it is good to put a paper towel to absorb a bit of the moisture before sealing the meat. The vacuum sealer machine will not be able to seal if there is large amount of moisture, but will be able to extract smaller quantity.
Answer: So this product is not recommended for liquids that’s what it means by moist. You can save fish for up to 3 years!
Answer: yes. i always damp dry with paper towels. if there is going to be liquid (like soups) we put in bag and freeze to safe to vacuum seal it. hopefully this helps. still loving mine.
Answer: Yes .But the nice thing about this unit is when you see it starting to grab too much moisture you can automatically seal the bag.
Answer: I will “freeze” any liquid first, then seal the bag. It seals better then.
Answer: Yes. Not liquids
Answer: Yes, it can handle all that you mentioned
Q:
Does it have a built in bag cutter
Answer: Yes, this model has a built-in bag cutter.
Answer: Yes. If you look at the picture, you will see a black slider (next to the picture of scissors). Itcontrols a knife that slices the bag that has just been formed free of the roll (assuming you are using the roll). See http://demandware.edgesuite.net/aamb_prd/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-food-saver-Library/default/dw3c76b41e/documents/instruction-manuals/045P-fs-GameSaver-Refresh-IB-15UPDATE-FINAL5-5-15-1.pdf
Answer: Yes, It does have a built in bag cutter. This is one of the best Food Savers I have owned. Highly recommend this unit.
Answer: Yes. The cutter is manually operated.
Answer: Absolutely. This is one good unit!
Answer: Yes, it does.
Answer: Yes it does.
Answer: Yes
Answer: Yes
Answer: Yes it does
Q:
What comes with this sealer?
Answer: All of our FoodSavers come with a starter kit. This started kit varies with the retailers, and may include bags, rolls, containers, and other accessories.
Answer: My FoodSaver GameSaver came with a sampling of Individual FoodSaver bags, a 12 volt converter, an 11 inch roll of FoodSaver bags and an Accessory Hose.
Answer: You get a small sample of bags and you get the converter to use with 12 volt (car or ATV) cord.

what are the Dimensions as it is setting on the counter?
Answer: The dimensions of the GameSaver Big Game are as follows: H- 3.80" x W- 21.40" x D- 8.50".
Answer: This food saver was given as a gift to a family member. It is a very solid , of good value big, and fits well on the counter. According to dimensions: 8.5 x 21.5 x 3.5 inches/8.4 lbs

Q:
Has anyone used this for freezing bait fish or for freezing fish fillets ?
Answer: The GM710 is perfect for vacuum sealing your bait and fish! We recommend flash freezing these items prior to vacuum sealing in order to get the best seal.
Answer: Used it for Flounder fillets nothing wrong with fish after setting in freezer for 10 months
Q:
I was looking at the 5480 foodsaver but saw this one at costco too, dont know which one to get? Differences?
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: The game saver is able to process 240lbs of meat or seal 80 bags consecutively without overheating. It also has the capability of running on both AC and DC power sources which makes it more portable and versatile if you're processing your game in the field or even storing your catch while you're still on the boat. If you're looking for a food saver that can take a beating and has the ability of processing a whole animal in one pass, then the game saver is the one for you. If you're looking for a food saver that is more for processing large quantities of groceries, then the 5480 would be great.
Answer: I have a Big Game Saver. It has a very powerful vacuum. Lots of fish packed. It works great. I can't comment on the other one.
Q:
Is it big enough for a 15 pound beef brisket
Answer: ????
Q:
Does this machine produce the extra wide seal that other Gamesavers do?
Answer: Yes!
Q:
Does the big game food saver come with the hose and accessors to use on jars and containers
Answer: This purchase includes the accessory hose.
Answer: just the hose
Answer: yes it does
Q:
I didn't see it on here but just to make sure this does not come with bags correct?
Answer: Yes, bags are included with your purchase.
Answer: it comes with a short roll of 11 inch
Answer: It comes with a small assortment.
Answer: If my memory serves me correctly mine came with one roll and one box of bags
Answer: If I remember correctly I think it comes with a few to sample.
Q:
mine stopped after8 vacuums does not vacuu,even after letting it set for ten minutes it still doe not work,no factory response.what can be done to fix
Answer: base on length of time you have had it and if you got it from Amazon they will replace it. Hopefully you purchased new, at times they sell it renewed. if you have submitted the warranty you should be good to go. if you are dealing with Foodsaver directly then call on phone. I have found working with different companies they stand by their product. so with purchased through Amazon then pull up order and submit need to return due to failure of product. always buy new online.
Answer: I need more information. Is the actual unit shutting off or is it just not sucking the air out of the bags or is it not sealing the bags? If the unit is actually turning on and functioning but just not sucking the air out of the bags, that’s a different problem. That Hass to do with how much of the empty bag you put into the unit before you close it. You need to put at least 3 to 4 inches of bag past the ceiling unit when you close it. And be sure to keep the rough side of the bag up. I hope this helps.
Answer: Nothing, send it back ASAP! It’s junk!!
Answer: If I knew how cheap this was made I would have never purchased it
Product reviews of FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer GM710-000 GameSaver Big Game Sealing System, reg, Black & 11" x 16' Vacuum Seal Roll | Make Custom-Sized BPA-Free Vacuum Sealer Bags | 3-Pack
D. Navis : Don't waste your money
You use it 10 to 12 times and it blows up. Don't waste your money.
Cast Iron Chef : Best FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer for Quality & Price
I do not normally give 5 Star Ratings, but I think this product, a vacuum food sealer, is very well designed, and I'm using it for home/kitchen use for most of my food preservation needs. I did buy the FoodSaver v2244, a low-cost unit, but I decided to spend the extra money at about $140 for this GameSaver unit instead and returned the low-cost v2244. I think I made a very wise decision, because this unit is far superior and well made. Buy this for home/kitchen use. The only "design issue" is you do need more counter space with this unit, because it is wider than other units.
Mark : Working nice
Replaced my old unit with this one and has been working good
Joe Lial : I want another one
I packed a whole elk with this one machine the bags go along way in the machine did not overheat he did everything that I asked her to do and more .
scarlett_scorpio : Doesn't work
We have tried to order this twice, both times neither of them work. I can't understand why we keep getting sent defective ones when this product gets such good reviews. No lights, no sounds...nothing.
DW Dawg : Excellent equipment.
Does the job. Very nicely.
Vanessa : Works great!
We got this from our registry. We used it to can some salsa with ingredients we had from our garden. It’s easy to use and I also bought it so my husband can use it on hand if needed.
ROTTYMOM : Great suction power
This is the best Food Saver I've had in along time I ordered 2 others from Amazon and they were returned because of not working, this one does. It bagged up links sausages as well as moose meat. I usually portion out my ground burger on a cookie sheet and freeze for 4-6 hours Then I seal it so that the blood does not run amuck.. works great. As for soup I freeze it in a small square plastic freezer container it solid, then remove to a Food saver bag and seal. Try this it works.
This machine will get use because I buy in bulk and want the things in the freezer to stay fresh. I recommend this machine for moderate to heavy processing of your game meat or Whole sale ware house purchases

Willis Drumond : nice
I bought this because I was tired of my old sealer overheating and wanted something to seal multiple bags in a row. It did just what I wanted. Only thing you need to know is this will not seal in cold temps. I took mine on a trip to Idaho 20-40 degrees and it wouldn't work. I figured out if I put it in my truck window in the sun or heated it up on the inside of my truck cab it worked fine.
Deborah Moore : It works Great
My old one got damaged in moving. I have missed my vacuum sealer. I put up alot of food and buy meat on sale for future use. With the Food Saver I no longer have to worry about freezer burn. Highly recommend.
jim murray : Great fish and game sealer
With this sealer the bags STAY vacuum sealed. Wrap fish & game with cling wrap to prevent freezer burn. Am pleased
East Coast Engineer Rob : Effectively Does What You Expect, Just a Bit Pricey
Used twice so far, does exactly what we needed/expected. Quality is decent, although we're getting a white spot in the middle of the sealing strip, that hasn't seemed to affect the seals. Don't expect it to suck out every last but of air, but it does a decent job. I shy away from full credit as the price seems a bit high compared to what I'd usually expect to pay for a lightweight, plastic appliance with this sort of functionality - but, whatever the market will bear, I suppose.
Amazon Customer : Didn’t last.
It lasted 13 months.
BikeLt : Love it
Easy to use. Packaged 65 pounds of ground venison in no time. Never overheated or slowed down.
Amazon Customer : junk and seller won't rectify
This unit only worked a couple times and totally quit working on 110 v. it will work on 12v but its hard to get a vehicle into the kitchen. The seller takes no responsibility and says contact mfg...
Mark M. : Works great.
Works perfect sucks the air out and seals well.
AskCord : Too expensive!
This product didn't even last a year, we bought it Dec 2017! We would mostly use this during hunting season and it was great while it lasted but for the money it wasn't worth it.
Camille Thomas : LOVE THIS, and great value!
I bought this because a friend had one and said it has lasted them for years. I am very impressed with it and hope it last as long as theirs have! Great value!
Amazon Customer : So far so good
I read a lot of reviews and most of the bad ones on this item refer to the durability. Well, I haven't tried that many vacuum savers and haven't had this one for very long but I can say that it performed flawlessly when sealing about 50 lbs of yellow fin tuna filets that I caught in Mexico. If it breaks down prematurely I will update and reduce the rating but so far so good.
The unit seems durable, works intuitively and seems to provide a good seal every time. I don't have much to which to compare it in terms of speed but I didn't find it tedious to seal up a medium sized quantity of fish into single portions. I used food saver bags with it and followed the directions.
I used my kitchen 110v outlet and have not tried it on a 12v outlet so no feedback there.

Onerider330 : Worked to seal 2 bags, then failed....
Very poor QC Im hoping.
The Good: easy to use when its working.
The BAD: Sealed up 2 bags and completely quit working. By "quit" I mean its like it is not getting power at all. The "closed" light doesnt come on and none of the buttons work at all. This is literally after sealing 2 bags up. Let it sit overnight and its worked again for another 1 item then its completely dead again. Returning to Amazon for new one. Crossing my fingers I just got a bad one, but after reading the reviews on other sites Im guessing Ill be looking to another brand and not a FoodSaver.

ROTTYMOM : Great suction power
This is the best Food Saver I've had in along time I ordered 2 others from Amazon and they were returned because of not working, this one does. It bagged up links sausages as well as moose meat. I usually portion out my ground burger on a cookie sheet and freeze for 4-6 hours Then I seal it so that the blood does not run amuck.. works great. As for soup I freeze it in a small square plastic freezer container it solid, then remove to a Food saver bag and seal. Try this it works.
This machine will get use because I buy in bulk and want the things in the freezer to stay fresh. I recommend this machine for moderate to heavy processing of your game meat or Whole sale ware house purchases

Vanessa : Works great!
We got this from our registry. We used it to can some salsa with ingredients we had from our garden. It’s easy to use and I also bought it so my husband can use it on hand if needed.
Alex Arteaga : Not to bad for the price!
Have used this item to vacuum seal 6 bags. Simple to use. The only con is the sealing isn't top notch, you kind of have to push down on the product inside of the bag slightly to get it to seal very tight.
Skritty : Great Product
It seems very durable, nice having the roll on the machine. Have used several times already sealing fish, deer, and hog meat. Will suggest it to my friends when they need one.
jess : I loved it at first
I loved it at first. I have had this for over 6 months and have used it less than 10 times. The seal now does not work. I contacted the manufacturer and getting a replacement is like pulling teeth. I would be so happy if replacing the part was easier. I am not saying don't buy it but be aware replacing the seal may turn into a pain. Insert sad face
K. Sizemore : Gaskets go bad and can't get replacements
The gaskets are foam and go bad. They get juices in them eventually and you need to replace them. Finding the upper and lower replacements are crazy hard to get. Tried an aftermarket replacement set and they don't work. Tried to contact foodsaver and they want pictures of the unit along with literally like 15 sets of numbers off it. Way too much hassle for some $5 gaskets that should be available. I'm just ditching the unit and buying another brand at this point.
texas effect : NO MORE WAITING FOR THE HEAT STRIP TO COOL!!
NO MORE WAITING FOR THE HEAT STRIP TO COOL!!! This unit is worth the money - just so you don't have to wait for the seal strip to cool down. I package a huge amount of dry products for storage and will sometimes use this unit for 2-3 hours without stopping. It does the job and then some. Not one issue so far.

East Coast Engineer Rob : Effectively Does What You Expect, Just a Bit Pricey
Used twice so far, does exactly what we needed/expected. Quality is decent, although we're getting a white spot in the middle of the sealing strip, that hasn't seemed to affect the seals. Don't expect it to suck out every last but of air, but it does a decent job. I shy away from full credit as the price seems a bit high compared to what I'd usually expect to pay for a lightweight, plastic appliance with this sort of functionality - but, whatever the market will bear, I suppose.
DW Dawg : Excellent equipment.
Does the job. Very nicely.
Barth : Great product
I used this for 6 deer that I got this past season. Worked great!!
Hope : Wouldn’t recommend
Loved at first then when go to use we could seal 1 or 2 and will not work for awhile. Not happy at all with this product. We got on Dec 18 and I see can’t return as of January 31.
Karen Dube : does what it says
bought this as a gift. The recipient uses it weekly to freeze their meats. They love it. Well worth it
david heddle : Not like the old ones
I’ve used these for years. My old one started not to seal properly. So decided to get another one before deer season kicked. The door on the new seems to be loose. Not tight like the old ones. The first seal didn’t work. Had to do over. It seems ok, but not great. Next one I buy will be a commercial one. This company has gone down hill.
Amazon Customer : This is a good one.
This is my 5th food saver. I like the simplicity of this one. Also I don't have to let it cool down when putting up quantities of meat.
Susan Lamb : Not Heavy Duty
Was expecting this to be built heavy for using on wild game etc. Suction is worse than my prior $79 dollar vac sealer and the motor went out after a few months of owning. Latch mechanism is poorly designed and begs for the plastic latches to be broke. Disappointed in this, only reason for having a 2 star review was the dual 12V plug to use while on the road or on the boat and the built in bag cutter. I would not recommend to someone planning on using this for wild game or fish.
Gary Rowray : A+
Run and run this thing and no issues
Amazon Customer : Finally a sealer that works as fast I do
Had this sealer a year now. It works as fast as I do with vac sealing 20-25 lbs of meat, sausage, and smoked fish at a time. All the other sealers I have had overheat and you have to wait several minutes to continue. I always wrap my meat in one layer of paper, a trick I learned from a meat cutter, to keep the moisture from being sucked out of the meat. May sound wasteful to some people but I am very particular about the quality of my meat. It also prevents perforations of the bags by bones during the vac process.
Thayne : Works well and has added feature of working off of 12v power in car, boat or RV.
The Game Saver is well built and worked very well during my first time using it. It works better than the smaller compact units and is much faster in sealing. Additionally, you can seal as fast as you can without damaging the unit like the smaller units.
Ldware9 : Versatile and great for those who travel.
I used this the first time while fishing. I caught some nice size blue catfish and filleted them out. I attempted to vacuum seal them and found that the heating element doesn't get hot enough to seal with moisture in the way. So my recommendation to anyone is to keep towels around to pat the items dry prior to using this item. As of right now I am fair disappointed with this item for that reason. I was planning to use it on an upcoming hunting trip so I can seal everything and place it in a cooler for easier and smaller storage. I would recommend trying a different sealer.
June 29th 2020
After a lot more use as previously stated. If whatever your packaging is wet, like freshly filleted fish this won't seal due to if fluid getting in the seal. If you pat dry the items it will seal properly. Finding this out I upgraded my previous review from 2 star to 4. If you plan to wet cure or ferment anything that has fluid this is not recommended. I'm glad I did not get rid of my cheap sealer that has a wet or dry feature so I can store soups or wet items.
March 30, 2021
This product is great for anyone that travels or hunters that butcher shortly after success. I've used for everything (meal prep while traveling, wild hog, birds, fish, and venison). Make packing everything into the cooler easier for that trip back. Reduces spoilage by moisture and air.

Trekaychris : Overall Good Product
Good sealer, average vacuum power, capable of sealing meat and quantity, and very easy to use.
whisperingwinds : Love it for vacuum sealing jars
I have used this for a time now, and noticed at times after sealing bags air does get into the bag. So not sure if it is the foodsaver unit itself, or the bags? Love it for vacuum sealing jars.
Amazon Customer : Food saver Heavy duty
My husband loves to fish. Our son and my husband were going on a week looking fishing trip. We had been looking to replace our old food saver. When we saw the featured of this food saver, we were sold. Then when my husband and son sealed up about 30 lbs of fish without a problem and it didn't over heat, they were excited. I wad excited because the fish made it home and kept it from spoiling. I worked recommend this to everyone.
Skritty : Great Product

wade shockley : Defective out of the box
foodsaver has terrible quality control. DOA right out of the box. I will be looking for another brand, and you should too!
Ski Pro 3 : DOA won't heat up the sealing strip
DOA
Would not heat up. Same as the one I was replacing. So that got me looking at my old one after I returned this one for refund. I found an interlock switch that makes contact when the lid closes. Once this switch is made, the heating element will heat up. Otherwise, the unit senses the lid is not tight closed and the heater doesn't kick on and the the cycle is abandoned.
I superglued an extension onto the probe in the lid that makes contact with the switch on my old unit and it now works! I can't say for sure this replacement for my old unit has the same problem, but it's suspect.

BikeLt : Love it
Easy to use. Packaged 65 pounds of ground venison in no time. Never overheated or slowed down.
Kevin Garrow : D.O.A.
D. Navis : Don't waste your money
You use it 10 to 12 times and it blows up. Don't waste your money.
Barth : Great product
I used this for 6 deer that I got this past season. Worked great!!
