Can anyone suggest a certain make/model for a vacuum sealer?

I am under the impression that the FoodSaver is a good make but what model?

Firstly, there are mainly two kinds of vacuum sealer: manual and automatic. Before choosing one, make it clear what type is the best for you.

Manual sealers give you more control when sealing certain soft foods you don't want to get crushed like berries or bread. Alternatively, liquids that might spill over into the machine. (An automatic sealer's mmanual mode have to be utilized for liquids anyway. Manual models can be less finicky then their automatic counterparts. There exist fewer chances for bugs, including the sensor not detecting the bag. Manual models also require less bag material, since the automatic models require that you insert more of the bag material on the machine in order for the sensor to detect it and trigger the sealing process. That excess material gets wasted.

When you have a concept about those different types of vacuum sealer, I'd love to state my suggestion. FoodSaver is a well-known brand of vacuum sealer and other kitchen appliance. It is great, but after compare it with other brands, I find out it is more expensive.

I have the food savor and used it for storing dehydrated food for travel. Then, I found out dehydrated food keeps well that I never used it again. But, I’m beginning to think I need to buy the containers to store my fresh fruits/veggies (instead of using disposable bags). But, for what I did use it for, I like mine. Works well… it really sucks!

What model? Sorry, I can’t say because it’s in storage… but we got ours 1.5 years ago.

I’d like to hear what others say about using the jars with the Food Savor!

 Hi, I am a vacuum sealer expert. As an expert I suggest you, buy a compact machine for you. Because the best vacuum sealer for the traveler is compact size machine.

I can recommend FoodSaver V4840, have been useing this for over a month now and im happy with it.

My old vacuum sealer crushed fruits when I tried to vacuum seal them, but this FoodSaver V4840 is just perfect, my fruits stay long fresh with vacuum sealing them :)

 I tried Foodsaver 4980. It is a good product to buy for storing the food. With the use of food saver, you can customize your bags with in-built roll storage. Easy to clean and use. It automatically seals the bags.

Yes, a vacuum sealer will keep your food fresh, save your both money and time. I suggest you buy a good quality food saver device. I bought a FoodSaver V2244 1 years ago which works brilliantly. The features, performance, durability, ease of use of this device is awesome.
