learning curve!

I had some difficulties in getting the machine to work. The lights weren't on so I tried many outlets, I had to read the manual common errors to figure it out. I only used this twice for beef, it did vacuum and sealed b ut I feel like it didn't vacuum that much. Not sure if its just me or the machine is not compressing as much.

Simple to use with minimal setup and locks in fres

The foodsaver preserve vacuum sealing system is easy to use and requires very little set up to use, making storing it in kitchen cupboards easy & practical. The different settings seem to be effective in ensuring a proper seal. Things to note , when trying to vaccume seal fresh berries it crushed them & did cause spillage which wasn't all caught in the Catcher and required the roll of seal packaging to be removed and cleaned to ensure clean storage.

For quick prep and huge household

This set has everything you need to get started. I just did the marinade mode and appreciate that it was easy to use, especially when I need something prepared quick.
Moist mode worked well, even on goat cheese. I tested the dry mode on popcorn and it didn’t crush it. I love how I can make a custom bag using the built in cutter. No leaks everything is ready for freezing. I just don’t like how the marinade lid for the container doesn’t come apart easily, which makes it hard for me to make sure that it will be cleaned thoroughly.
The dark matte finish also clings to dust. All the buttons for this vacuum sealer is pretty straightforward. I love how easy it is to use with a touch of a button. This is great for a big householder anyone who meal preps often.

It’s popular for a reason

I think it’s not bad of the fact that it can meatain the fresh for the food, but for now, I feel it’s not a good choice for me, because we already too busy with 2 kids

It is a useful kitchen tool

I love the vacuum and sealing function of the gadget, it prevents freezer burn and allows me to portion foods to reduce thawing time and meal prep time. It took me a while trying to figure how it works. I had to go back to the manual.

Reduces food waste and garbage

A definitely game changer

We didn't get one before because of the price and not a lot of our friends have one. After using the FoodSaver system, we are quite happy with how easy it is to use. It does help us reduce a lot of waste. We used to wrap our meat in a lot of plaster wrap and then wrap in tin foil and then finally put in ziplock bag to help the meat last longer in the freezer. With the FoodSaver system, we don't have to do that anymore. Our food packing and food storage is done with one simple click.

We haven't had time to try the marinate function yet. I did some research and is excited to try it out to reduce marinating time. The science behind the reduced time because the vacuum functiong help open the pores and fibres of the meat so making the mariade easier to penatrate through the meat.

The best function that I like the most is resealing chip bags. Who like stale chips, right!?
