Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let’s be honest, if you’re reading this review what you really want to know is, “should I buy this?”. The short answer is YES and here’s why. First let me say that this is my 3rd FoodSaver. All of them are different and serve different purposes. However, since getting it, this particular model has now become my daily driver. It’s perfect for those day to day chores like resealing meats, cheeses and whatnot, but it’s also great for leftovers as well. The removable drip tray is always welcome (my largest model doesn’t have this feature) and all of my current accessories are compatible with it so you don’t have to rebuy everything (can you say BONUS). I absolutely love its small footprint. It takes up so little room that it stays on my kitchen counter. For as small as it is, it seems to be equally as powerful as the larger models (even though this obviously isn’t the case) however, somethings do seem to take just a bit longer to finish, but it’s really not noticable. It is compatible with 8” rolls and 1 quart (or smaller) seal bags. If you are still using an older model one feature you will definitely like is that the “vacuum” and “seal” buttons are separate so you don’t have to use the vacuum function to seal a bag. You can just press “seal” and be done with it. All that said, if there is one negative, and this is kind of a big one. It would be the controls. Switching between the open, store and operate functions can be quite a challenge. So much so, that if you suffer from arthritis, especially in your hand or poor hand strength you are definitely going to want to look at another model. My mother has very mild arthritis in her hands and can not use this at all. I thought it might become easier over time but as of now, no such luck. Besides that, this really is a great little unit. Bottom line, if you’re looking for a food storage system that can live on your countertop without taking up a bunch of space this may be the Foodsaver for you. If you’re still on the fence about getting this, hop on down and buy it now. Do I recommend this? YES Emoji rating - 👍👍👍👍 Thanks for taking the time to read this review, I really hope it helped. Cheers! Make Life Fun!!
