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: We only recommend using this machine with FoodSaver brand bags.

Answer: As long as the roll will fit in the machine I would think you could.

Answer: No, it comes only with the Accessory Hose
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

What is the kpa rate some say 85 Kpa
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: It worked with the ones I have so it should with yours. Amazing machine

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.

Does this unit seal 15" wide bags?

Answer: Hello, this is Zuzanna from FoodSaver!

Further, this limited warranty does not cover: Acts of G-d, such as fire, flood, hurricanes and tornadoes. For more information on the warranty offered, refer to the manual. 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

Answer: I haven't measured it, but it's comparable to a standard FoodSaver high, and maybe 18 inches long.
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
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.
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!
D. Navis : Don't waste your money
You use it 10 to 12 times and it blows up. Don't waste your money.
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...
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.
Daniela Snow : Seal needs to be stronger
Doesn't seal as well as we thought it would ...
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.
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.
Jeff D. : Brand new machine won’t work!!
Brand new machine. Just took it out of the box to process my pigs. It is Leaving gaps in the seals for all my large roasts! Which means not only are all the parts suspect, but the bags have all been wasted! Not cool! Hundreds of pounds of meat to be processed today and food saver has failed me!! I miss my little dinkey one that had lasted me the past seven years. Thought I would upgrade since my old one died. What do I do now?!?? Fail.
Edit to add that we are double and triple sealing to try to get them to stay shut. But regardless the air is not sucked out of the bags. Freaking out over here. Food saver what happened?!
Anita M Hollis : Lock and load
It does everything they say it will do. I bought this one as a replacement. The ONLY complaint I have with the Foodsaver systems is the locking mechanisms. They don't last long. They really need to design them with better materials. They break or get faulty fairly quick. But as far as a food storage, you can't go wrong. I've been using the system for close to 10 years.
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.

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.
Amazon Customer : Failed exactly 1 year with minimal use
Quit working with minimal use at exactly 1 year. Junk, do not buy, will not seal, will not vacuum closed jars or bags. Used this to bag a total of less than 1 roll of bags and 48 one quart jars. I will not buy this product ever again
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.
Rita Singletary : Great product
Works great. Can seal bags back to back without it getting hot and cutting itself off. I would have to let my last vacuum sealer cool down after sealing several bags, but this one continues to work as long as I need it to. Would definitely buy it again!
Barth : Great product
I used this for 6 deer that I got this past season. Worked great!!
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.
Elvira T. Szedny : love this for sealing meat
It seals the meat very nicely. No more ice on the meat or freezer burn. the bags are expensive
John T. : Perfect for hunters and fishermen
Purchased this for outdoorsy son at Christmas. Hopefully “Bambi Gutting” and fish cleaning will now take place out in the forest instead of my suburban backyard :)

Tammy : Durable and so easy to use!
I have owned the three good savers and this one is by far the best! The others had issues with having to cool down after a few seals or didn't always seal on the first try. This one seals time after time, no issues. It removes all of the air so I won't worry about freezer burn. It is durable and so easy to use.

Rascal Jasper : Go for it
I don't know how many folks out there make their own deer sausage but if you are away from home at "deer camp".
You can use your truck battery to power up this machine. Fast and reliable, happy vacuum sealing to y'all.
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.
Delighted Buyer : It Does What It Promises
It doesn't wimp out when you are sealing pounds and baskets of hard earned bounty. Easy to clean, easy to transport, easy to store (hang it on a wall). The accessory cord allows it to be used at the deer camp or fishing trip. It protects other valuables also like documents and jewelry. It's a worker!
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 .
Ted Wachter : Simple to use at a great price
Great product at a great price. Helps to save from freezer burn.
DW Dawg : Excellent equipment.
Does the job. Very nicely.
Bee Sr : Some time it, some times it don’t
Since I purchased this unit, I had some trouble with it not holding a seal after 1 day of sealing some bags. Not all of them sealed probably.
I’m going to trying following some of the tips to see if it make a difference.
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.
Joey S. : So far so good it has a lot of suction
Bought in 2017 use it a lot and it works good. Has a ton of suction, only flaw I have found is when vacuum sealing things that have liquid you have to do the final seal twice but on a dry bag works great. I looked at vacuum sealers a while before getting this one. If you are in question look at YouTube to help you with your decision.
DealBuddy : The entire reason for this to exist is to be heavy duty, however in all aspects it comes short.
The one thing this is quoted as being designed for, "80 consecutive seals," is what it is the worst at. The entire reason for this to exist is to be heavy duty, however in all aspects it comes short.
This system over heats, has a VERY slow suction motor compared to MUCH cheaper models from Foodsaver, and takes 2-3 times longer to seal any food item compared to the "cheap" models from Foodsaver.
Another MAJOR flaw is the locking mechanism, the first unit I tried, it failed within a week, the second unit got wobbly after two weeks. This will no doubt fail on all models, after a reasonable use time, compared to older models I have that have lasted for several years with no problems.
The reason for 2 stars, is that I love the built-in cutting feature to easily measure bags out for different food sizes, but for every other function that this provides, please do yourself a favor and skip it. If you really want to give it a shot, Amazon has a great return policy so you won't have any risk.
Tabi : Worth every penny.
This unit replaced a previous model that we loved. This one works just as good. The large size is a plus. We buy in bulk because of our rural location an only go shopping once a month on avarage. So this is a money saver.
Amazon Customer : It’s perfect
It has great suction power and definitely value for my money I’ve had it for several years now
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.
John T. : Perfect for hunters and fishermen
Purchased this for outdoorsy son at Christmas. Hopefully “Bambi Gutting” and fish cleaning will now take place out in the forest instead of my suburban backyard :)

Barth : Great product
I used this for 6 deer that I got this past season. Worked great!!
Don : Easy to use and is a quality product
I have had a couple other sealers and this one is easy to use and works great
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
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!
R. L. Temkin : Seems Sturdy...so far.
Works well, apply slight pressure when in vacuum mode, for best results.
Love that it's portable and has 12v car power adapter.
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.
Jean : Broken shortly after return window closed.
Purchased for my mother for Christmas. She used it for the first time in February and maybe half a dozen times afterwards. By April it was broken, with not suction or sealing power. The return period has closed. I would not buy this again from Amazon, I would try my luck with Costco because of the excellent return policy.

Mama Hen : FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer GM710-000 GameSaver Big Game Sealing System
It works well. We vacuum seal fish we catch throughout the summer. Saves space in the freezer.

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.
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.
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.
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.
you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
