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...

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.

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:

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
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.
Freddie : DOESN'T CONTAIN ALL ITEMS AS DESCRIBED
The product listing has one roll each of at 8" and 11", as well as 5 each gallon and quart bags. The item only comes with an 11" roll, 3 quart bags, and 2 gallon bags-consistent to what is printed on the box.
Tom A. : Adequate Kitchen Grade Vacuum Sealer
I use a vacuum sealer often to pack fish, ducks, and bulk meats. I probably seal 200-300 bags a year. For me, the strength of the vacuum and width of the seal strip is of primary importance for insuring a tight and enduring seal. Neither of these attributes are published for most kitchen grade sealers including this one. Compared to other vac-packing units I've owned, this one seems to have average suction and does leave airpockets if you don't message the bag as it draws down. The seal strip is also only about an 1/8 inch wide which is adequate for most sealing jobs but not as bullet proof as 1/4 inch wide seals found on some similar priced units. I have no idea on longevity as I have only used it for part of a year. Overall I would rate this as average and certainly would not rate it as exceptional. But for the price it is a reasonable deal.
M. Douglas : Do not buy. Fails to draw a vacuum after a while.
Have had it two years. Very lightly used. Have always used genuine, expensive, food saver bags. Tonight, it would not draw a vacuum… With about $100 worth of meats Risking spoilage. Tried freezing them ahead of time. No luck. Even tried sealing an empty bag. It wouldn’t do that. I tried two different packages of bags. No luck. Do not waste your money on this piece of junk. It will fail, it’s only a matter of time. Customer phone number only leads to an automated menu, without any option of talking to a real person. They will do anything they can to avoid talking to a real person. It continually directs them to tips on the Internet, that are worthless. Do not waste your money on this. I implore you. Just buy double seal freezer bags. They are more reliable and a better value.
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.
C. Taylor : Fastest sealer out there.
I’ve had this since 2016 and it’s December of 2019 now. I’ve literally packed over 1000 pounds of deer, and fish. This thing is faster than anything out there. I can’t believe there’s any reviews that aren’t 5. I would assume they don’t know how to use it. Lots of tricks to keep juices out of the seal etc...you learn as you go. Just did 3 deer on a trip this month. I’ve used food saver bags and other brands, all of them work good....only issue is when the bags have wrinkles when they are wrapped, but you can still use them, you just have to be careful and stretch them across.
Clemm Cnvs : Great vac-sealer, and its portable. You can run it off of 12v.
Works great, has plenty of suction power.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thomas : slim works great
works very well. Vacuums and seal very fast. do be aware that this is a compact machine and will not hold the large bulk roll of bags.
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
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!
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.
Ted Wachter : Simple to use at a great price
Great product at a great price. Helps to save from freezer burn.
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.
Randee A. : Worked great, until it didn’t...
Worked great....for just about 6 months. We’ve owned a couple FoodSaver products and have been happy. This one is quick, simple, and cools fast. Had 2 bags to seal tonight...first one made a strange noise, and now it won’t turn on. Definitely not “big game” worthy. I’d love to exchange it. Maybe we just got a bad one!
JAY CAL : This Doesnt Suck!
Well, unfortunately it doesn't have near the suction power for the chinese brand one I had for 5yrs at half the cost. But it does have good options I have found to be convenient but still disappointed in the suction!
Ted Wachter : Simple to use at a great price
Great product at a great price. Helps to save from freezer burn.
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.
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.
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 .
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.
Gongbeach : Check out your product right away, Don't wait till you need it. It may not work!!!
This is my third vacuum sealer,
i bought this one because my first two worked so well and my husband wanted this Big game saver vacuum sealer. unfortunately this one has a defect that the other Big Game saver did not have. This one does not seal and he did not look at it until a few weeks ago so the return warranty is passed. So we can not return it. So Buyer beware, check out your product. I wish we had, its just that we had the other two that worked so well. I did not use it because we has no need.

DC : Not for use with textured mylar bags!
I replaced our old V1515 Foodsaver Vac sealer with this machine. They are built on nearly identical chassis. The main difference appears to be the addition of a handle on the far right end, but looks are deceiving.
This model WILL NOT VACUUM SEAL TEXTURED MYLAR BAGS!!! Our old V1515 did fine, both pulling an adequate vacuum and heat sealing the channel vaccum-textured mylar bags.
This vacuum pump sounds even weaker than our decades old Foodsaver. I returned it, it simply won't perform as needed.
Make sure that you buy this one with a liberal return policy, because you will be returning it, if you've ever had a good Foodsaver vacuum sealer.
Tom A. : Adequate Kitchen Grade Vacuum Sealer
I use a vacuum sealer often to pack fish, ducks, and bulk meats. I probably seal 200-300 bags a year. For me, the strength of the vacuum and width of the seal strip is of primary importance for insuring a tight and enduring seal. Neither of these attributes are published for most kitchen grade sealers including this one. Compared to other vac-packing units I've owned, this one seems to have average suction and does leave airpockets if you don't message the bag as it draws down. The seal strip is also only about an 1/8 inch wide which is adequate for most sealing jobs but not as bullet proof as 1/4 inch wide seals found on some similar priced units. I have no idea on longevity as I have only used it for part of a year. Overall I would rate this as average and certainly would not rate it as exceptional. But for the price it is a reasonable deal.

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
Robert W. : Very well made, works great!
After doing some online research. I decided this Big Game vacuum sealer was a good choice. I wasen’t wrong! I used to for some of my garden vegetables, I also butchered 3 hogs and 2 deer. All of it was vacuum sealed with this unit. It worked flawlessly.
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.
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.
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.
BikeLt : Love it
Easy to use. Packaged 65 pounds of ground venison in no time. Never overheated or slowed down.
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!

TEK89 : Works well easy to clean
Works well easy to clean.
Would have given 5 stars if you wouldn't need to watch were the end of the stored roll was so closely. If it gets to close to the seal and you lock the lid to seal sometimes it never seals. If you don't make this mistake the machine works flawlessly
Thomas : slim works great
works very well. Vacuums and seal very fast. do be aware that this is a compact machine and will not hold the large bulk roll of bags.
C. Taylor : Fastest sealer out there.
I’ve had this since 2016 and it’s December of 2019 now. I’ve literally packed over 1000 pounds of deer, and fish. This thing is faster than anything out there. I can’t believe there’s any reviews that aren’t 5. I would assume they don’t know how to use it. Lots of tricks to keep juices out of the seal etc...you learn as you go. Just did 3 deer on a trip this month. I’ve used food saver bags and other brands, all of them work good....only issue is when the bags have wrinkles when they are wrapped, but you can still use them, you just have to be careful and stretch them across.
Barth : Great product
I used this for 6 deer that I got this past season. Worked great!!
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.
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.
Amazon Customer : So far so good

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.

This is the easiest food saver ive used.
