How nifty!! I have the big system and love it. Can anyone testify as to how well this works? Do you have to have specific bags for it to work?
I have this and it doesn’t keep the seal. All of my meat and veggies got freezer burnt. Bought the big food saver and works amazing. I don’t recommend buying this.
Is this just for refrigerated foods though? Like deli meats and cheeses? Just wondering because I’m thinking of buying this for refrigerated items. We have the big system for freezer items.
I loved it at first, but found the bags would start loosing the seal after a few uses.
Darn! Sorry to hear the seal began to weaken. Thanks for sharing your experience!
This is good to know. I’ve been tempted to get it just for the refrigerated foods like cheese. I use the Food Saver ziplock bags and the manual hand pump for Hefty/Ziplock freezer bags. I have always had good seals. Note: I’ll only use the Food Saver bags. The Hefty and Ziplock bags don’t hold the seal like Food Saver does IMO.
I had similar experiences. It is not meant to be used for freezer bags. I used mine a few times without success before I gave up and donated it. Even for that low of a price it is not worth it.
Thanks for the honest feedback Megan!
I bought one of these almost 5 years ago and it works fantastic. I’ve never had a bag become unsealed or any issues with them. I’m not sure if the quality decreased my mine still works awesome!
Great to hear how well it has worked for you Chelsey! Thanks for the review!
I have this…if u’re having issues..its your bags..not this…
It’s now $13.99 and won’t put it in the shopping cart, even at that price.
Thanks for the heads up on the price. I do find it at $13.99 now as well. However, I am still able to add it to my cart. Are you by chance on a mobile device? If not, maybe switch to a different browser. It works for me in Chrome! Hope this helps!
I have one and have been using it for several years. They are meant for shorter term refrigerator use such as keeping meat and cheese fresh after you originally open the package until you finish using the product. Simply keep sealing the bag up and pulling the air out of it again and again to keep the product fresh until the product is used up then either throw out the bag or wash and reuse. They are specially designed FoodSaver bags just for this unit.
I bought one of these years ago and love using it with my mason jars to seal certain foods like coffee, grains, flour, nuts and even lettuce in the fridge for them to last longer. Just have to get the Mason jar cap attachments. It really makes a difference. The bags to use with the sealer on the other hand never worked for me.
Thanks for the helpful review Christine!
I bought two of these and they were both total junk. I couldn’t get them to remove the air from even one bag without needing charged again. I should have taken them back but I seen at the time alot of other people were complaining too. Ill stick to my big bulky counter machine as long as it works! lol.
Bummer! Thanks for the honest feedback 🙁
