I have the same V2220 black "Walmart version" of this (my first sealer) and after sealing over 30 different items, I can say that I absolutely LOVE this machine! I've had no problems sealing any type of bag or canister and it's perfect every time. Caution: do not try to vacuum a pizza on "dry mode" or it will suck all the air out of it, crust and all! It's possible that it would work better on "moist mode", though I haven't had the chance to test it yet. You can, however, stop the sealing at any time when you see it's crushing everything by pressing cancel, and just manually press the "seal" button to seal it.
The canister accesorry is simply amazing! You can vacuum seal potato chips, cakes, cookies, sandwiches, and other "crushable items" and store them much longer without having to worry about them getting stale and old after a week, and you can re-seal/vacuum them over and over again after re-opening the container/canister. This one's even better than the bags!
Now, if there's only a pizza canister...hmmm.
NOTE: if the machine doesn't appear to be working, it's because you didn't turn the LOCK all the way. Check that first before complaining! :-)

We loved our old foodsaver, and used it constantly for several years until it gave up the ghost, and we replaced it with this one.
Those who are familiar with the Foodsaver and are thinking of getting this one should be prepared for disappointment. This machine's seal strip is now much further away from the vacuum chamber, meaning you lose a full 1.5 to 2 inches of bag at the top each time you seal. It used to be much less than this.
Also, this machine is infuratingly picky about the top of the bag being precisely placed in the vacuum chamber, and if you're using a used bag that's been through the dishwasher (as they say you can), you can just throw it away -- these bags have never sealed a second time.
Overall, we're sorry we bought it, and pine away for the old one.

Keep your food fresh 3-5 times longer, prevent freezer burn and save both time and money as you waste less food! Just how does it work? Well, a powerful piston pump removes the air from the patented storage bags and custom containers, then seals them tight. FoodSaver bags have 3 layers of material and special channels so that all the air is suctioned out and can't get trapped in pockets. The bag's outer layer of nylon keeps air from re-entering and spoiling your food. This machine is easy to use and you're certain to find it is a great way to maximize your food's freshness as well as helping your prepare meals ahead, pack for trips and so on.

FoodSaver Smart Seal Vacuum Sealer V3825
Average Reviews:

I bought this unit, and I am very satisfied with its performance. On the plus side, the unit works automatically and puts a very good seal on the package. It has more control over the vacuum, and the canister hose is now built into the unit. On the con side, the owners manual leaves much to be desired. I would recommend that you briefly read the quick start guide, then go right to the website and watch the videos. I could not get the sealer to work until I watched the video... then it was very easy, and it works great every time.
If your used to the old food saver vacuum units, then this one takes a bit getting used to, because its automatic. The bags feed in the side of the unit, but you have to learn how to feed in the bag! Once it's fed in the machine, then a clamp comes down automatically and does the vacuum or seal (depending on the setting you use), but you have to wait till it's completely done and stopped to remove the bag. If your a volume packager, this is NOT the unit for you, as it takes a bit longer than the older units and you will likely get fustrated. If your like me... and seal when I have leftovers, open cheese, or freezing... this works well, but it is not as fast as the older flip top sealers. I do like the bag holder features, as this has been an issue with me from the beginning.
After reading all the comments on the Internet, I was not sure if I should invest in this unit... but I decided to try it anyway, and am VERY HAPPY with the sealer. The negatives are running 50 /50 on the net, but most people complain about the bag feed. Look at the video, take some time to learn (15 minutes), and then it's easy. If you don't want to read directions and learn... then buy something else.

I also was excited to replace my old one with this one. The bag sensor is rediculous. You waste ALOT of bags. It will only seal a inch and a half from edge unlike my old one where you could seal right up top the edge. The sensor went out in 2 weeks. When the sensor did work it took forever. Sometimes it would vacuum and other times it would leave air in the bag and sealed it up. Unless you left 3 or 4 inches on the end of your bag it was impossible to reseal the bag as it was too short. Very disappointed. Don't waste your money.

By keeping air out and sealing freshness in, this home vacuum-sealing system eliminates freezer burn and keeps foods fresh and delicious up to five times longer than conventional storage methods. The countertop appliance not only keeps food fresh longer, it also helps save money--no more having to throw away freezer-burned meat, moldy produce, or forgotten leftovers. Equipped with SmartSeal technology and automatic bag sensing, the unit ensures easy hands-free operation and no more guesswork--simply insert a bag and it will automatically vacuum-seal it. Choose from two vacuum speeds, two sealing levels (great for moist or dry foods), or marinade mode for marinating meat, chicken, or fish in minutes instead of hours. In addition, canister mode achieves the best vacuum seal on canisters and accessories, and for vacuum-packaging delicate foods, the unit's CrushFree Instant Seal function immediately stops the vacuum process to prevent crushing. Other highlights include progress lights, auto liquid detection, an integrated bag opener, built-in bag-roll storage with a cutter, and an easy-to-clean anti-bacterial drip tray. A variety of accessories come included: an 11-inch-by-10-foot FoodSaver roll for making custom-size bags, three quart-size FoodSaver bags, and two gallon-size FoodSaver bags. With a sleek, upright design that takes up minimal counter space, the vacuum sealer measures approximately 16 by 5-1/5 by 9-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

FoodSaver Pro III Vacuum Sealing Kit, White Review

FoodSaver Pro III Vacuum Sealing Kit, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This review focuses on the significance of the differences I found between the Pro III model, and a less expensive FoodSaver model I used for about a year and half. The features and uses of the FoodSaver are left for other reviewers. I find the FoodSaver to be a very useful kitchen appliance.
The FoodSaver Pro III model is the second FoodSaver machine I have used. I upgraded from the Model 1075, even though the machine I had was still working fine. I did not know whether the upgrade would be worthwhile, given the cost, but am pleased to report that I found the additional features of the Pro III to be well worth the much greater cost. And I liked the older machine quite a bit.
The principal benefits I have found of the Pro III over the Model 1075 are:
1.Pro III has a built-in roll holder and cutter, and storage of the hose under the lid, which saves space on the counter (on the other hand, the unit is a few inches longer and little wider).
2.Pro III does not get hot nearly so quickly, so it can be used more continuously. When the Model 1075 got too hot, it would not vacuum effectively resulting in wasted storage bags, and the need to wait longer between using the unit.
3.Pro III is significantly quieter. The Model 1075 is much noisier, particularly in the sealing stage.
4.Pro III is easier to start (it starts by pushing a button instead of pushing down on the top of the unit).
5.Pro III has a removable drip tray (this was added to other new models, and is very convenient).
6.Pro III has a sleeker more attractive appearance.
7.Pro III has a setting for a higher level of vacuuming.
The botttom line is that if you upgrade from a lesser model, I think you will be pleased with the Pro III.

FoodSaver FSFRSH0055 FreshSaver Handheld Vacuum-Sealing System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pros:
-It does suck the air out of the bag or container, creating a vacuum seal.
-The containers are useful and easily reusable.
-The bags are reusable if you don't store something smelly or greasy in them.
-Bags are washable.
-Containers are washable in the dishwasher/top rack.
-Food does stay fresh longer but not as long as the melting seal type bags.
-This is a less expensive option for a vacuum-packaging system.
Cons:
-You can't create a custom-size bag like the food savers that melt the plastic for vacuum sealing.
-Bags are expensive. The current cost (3/2010) per 1-quart bag is about .44 cents.
-After 2 weeks, the bag lost its seal. This rarely happens in the melting seal type systems. The seal is only as good as the Ziploc on the bags.
-If you get any food in the Ziploc zone, it will not seal properly.
-The vacuum unit is an energy vampire because you need to keep it plugged in to keep the motor charged.
In summary: This is a good "inexpensive" option for short-term vacuum sealing. I wouldn't count on this system for long-term freezer storage because it will lose its seal & ice crystals will form on the food. The replacement bags are expensive so you need to weigh the cost of the bags against the cost of the food you are storing. The containers are expensive but you'll probably be able to reuse them more frequently if you treat them with care.

FoodSaver Vac 300 Vacuum Sealing Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Excellent product! I've had a Tilia FoodSaver Vac for about 9 years (I asked for it for my birthday) and have never had a problem with it. If the person who said that one corner didn't seal will check the rubber on the lid, it may have slid to one side and isn't making contact with the bag when trying to seal it. This would make it not seal completely. No one has offered hints to make using the Tilia FoodSaver Vac more economical or practical so here are some suggestions: (1) When making a bag, if the meat(as an example) is a steak 8 inches long, make the bag at least 12 inches long. The reason for this is that the bags can be washed and reused over and over until they're too small to use and still seal.
(2) After sealing the bag, there is about an inch of waste bag material on the end you just sealed so take a felt tip marker and write on that end, what it is, the weight, and the date. When you open the bag to use the "meat", cut off the end you wrote on, wash the bag, reuse it and write on the new end when you seal it again. (3) For sanitary purposes even though I wash the bag, when I reuse it for meat, I wrap the meat in plastic wrap before putting it in the bag. (4) If you want to put liquid in a bag for sealing, put the liquid in a zip lock bag and freeze it and when it's frozen, take the contents out of the zip lock and put it in a Tilia FoodSaver Vac bag and seal it as you normally would. If you try to seal a liquid in the bag unfrozen, the vac will pull the liquid into the motor and ruin it. I hope this helps some of you.
P.S. To thaw the meat I run HOT water in the sink and immerse the bag and leave it to thaw quickly. Thinner meats like chops or some steaks thawing will take about 15 minutes and naturally thicker ones take longer. I check by trying to bend the meat (still in the bag of course). If it's totally flexible it's thawed. If you want to thaw meat that's not in a Vac Bag just take a gallon zip lock type bag, put the meat in it and start submerging the bag. Zip the bag closed all but one corner which is kept above the water line and as you submerge the bag the water pushes the air out of the bag right up through that corner. Carefully lower the bag to the zip line and seal it. Now you have a vacuumed bag. If you don't have a vac machine and want to freeze something, do the zip thing in cold water, dry the bag and put it in the freezer now you have a cheap vacuumed, sealed bag and your food will last longer with the air removed. I've been doing this for years and have never ruined meat, ever. It beats leaving food on the counter to thaw for hours or in microwave to partially cook and get tough.

The Vacuseal has been one of my best purchases. I initially was going to buy the reynolds unit because it was cheaper, but after reading that it was hard to seal the bags properly, I decided against it. This unit is really easy to seal. The valve sticks out of the side of the zip lock bags, so you just attach the nozzle and it pulls all the air out. Another plus for the item is that the bags that come with it are very heavy duty and they're dishwasher safe. Overall this was a very good buy and I highly recommend it.

FoodSaver FSFRSH0051 FreshSaver Handheld Vacuum-Sealing System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've owned a Foodsaver for years (now on my third) so I'm familiar with their conventional vacuum bags and canisters.
I got an email from FoodSaver touting the new FreshSaver zipper bags for frequently used items so you don't have to keep cutting down and re-sealing regular FoodSaver bags.
Sounded good to me, so I ordered one. The handheld unit vacuums reasonably quickly, and the small compatible storage containers work well.
However, the quart and gallon size bags zipper are worse than useless. They appear to hold a vacuum initially, so you put it in the fridge only to find the next day that the bag lost its vacuum. The bags are stiffer than regular zipper bags, so when the seal fails, the bag expands and allows more air in than a regular plastic bag. The unit was supplied with 5 quart bags and 5 gallon bags. Only four bags held a vacuum more than a few minutes! Of those four, only two bags held vacuum a second time. Even those two failed on the third use.
Absolutely maddening - you THINK you sealed the bag, only to find out hours later it isn't sealed after all!
I called Jarden (Foodsaver's corporate owner) to complain. They said the only thing they could do is send me a box of 12 gallon-size zipper FreshSaver bags as a 'goodwill' gesture. Unfortunately, those bags are just as bad as the first ones. The problem is the valve tab. The bags feature heat-welded multilayer construction (good) and heat-welded zippers (good), but the valve tab is fastened using a pressure sensitive adhesive like 'scotch' tape (BAD). The tabs fail, either by leaking when the tab comes loose, or when the tab doesn't stay sealed around the pinhole in the bag under the tab. As a test, I vacuumed a bag and immediately covered the tab with a square of clear 3M box sealing tape, and then the vacuum holds! Unfortunately, when you remove the tape, the vacuum tab peels off too, so that isn't a fix, but confirms the source of the failure.
Absolutely worthless design! Customer reps at Jarden aren't able to help - they just want to sell you more stuff. (Too bad for you if what they just sold you doesn't work like they promise!)
I love the idea, but the bags are too annoying to bother with. I consider this a wasted purchase.
P.S. Some here have commented/suggested that I must have used the bags with wet/greasy foods that undermine the seal. (I learned that lesson 15+ years ago with standard Foodsaver.) I've used the Freshsaver with hard, dry cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano) and made sure the tab stayed flat, but still have leaks. I'm glad there are those who have had no problems, but that makes me wonder if Foodsaver has poor quality control on the Freshsaver bags, some work, some don't? As for me, I'm back to using the regular Foodsaver bags since they work very well.

Owned for a couple weeks now. It's worked very well. Does a great job sealing, and vacuum packing works wonders for holding flavor while storing food. A fantastic surprise to this machine is that you can use it to pretty much seal any plastic bags, which i didn't know. I thought it was only for vacuum packing in the foodsaver bags, but you can use the sealer on cereal bags, potato chip bags, and even the plastic bags that bread comes in. Had i known that, i wouldn't have pondered the decision for whether this was really something i would use enough to justify the purchase. I've been using it for something everyday.

I love this appliance and use it many times in a day. I had almost the same model that only lasted 3 years though, the teflon strip covering the metal heat bar wore out and could not be replaced or repaired by the company so I had to buy a new food saver. I am still very upset at the company for this flaw.....the old appliance was perfect in every other way.....what a waste. Anyway I love the sealer and could not do without one. I seal all of my packages of cereal, bread, chips, brown sugar etc. I vacuum seal and freeze almost all of my left overs, buy in bulk and vacuum and freeze, use the lid sealer for my mason jars, it is one of my favorite appliances in the kitchen that I could not do without.

I use this everyday. It's sooo much better than the previous Foodsaver. I love that it is hands-free - you put the bag in, lock it down, and vacuum! For someone with carpal tunnel or arthritis, this makes it much easier than the ones on which you have to press. I love the way you can interrupt the vacuum cycle and go right to sealing which avoids crushing delicate items. I love the way the bags are stored inside and the canister hose is stored on the back - easy to locate.
One problem I've read about with the Foodsaver is the canisters leaking. I've decided that most likely this is not really a leak. Whenever it seems like my canisters won't vacuum properly, I check the lights to see if they are cycling properly. If not, I first unplug the hose and then reinsert, switching the ends. I don't know if the switching is the thing that makes it work or I'm just making a better seal when I do this but it usually that takes care of the problem. If that doesn't work, I wipe the seal and the rim of the canister with a damp cloth to make sure nothing is on it that will interfere with the vacuum. I've not had a "leak" since.
Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, it's easy to waste money on food. Usually, we have to buy too much which ends up spoiling or in small portions which is too expensive. Now, we can buy family portions and vacuum the leftovers for later. I use this on lettuce (keeps it two weeks with no brown spots or wilting), bread, fresh fruit & vegetables, nuts, meat, leftovers, and more. It's well worth the money!

I originally was going to purchase a FoodSaver model with similar features (FoodSaver V2440 Advanced Design), but found this Rival model for about 40% less.
Even though this one is less expensive, I recommend others buy the FoodSaver for three reasons: 1.) The Rival model does not have an "instant seal" option. In other words, if you go to store anything soft (baked goods, etc.) with the Rival, it will crush / flatten the contents of the bag before sealing is complete. The Food Saver allows you to suck out the air and seal the bag before the contents get squished. 2.) If you go to Kmart or Target and check out both models in person, you will quickly see that the Rival looks and feels cheaply made in comparison to the FoodSaver. The FoodSaver costs more because it is a higher quality product. 3.) Our first Rival Seal-A-Meal failed within the first year. Rival's customer service is a farce. Two emails and one phone call have yet to be returned. I ended up having Amazon replace the product. I wish I would have taken the opportunity to upgrade to the FoodSaver (FoodSaver V2440 Advanced Design). When this one goes on the fritz, and I know it will, I will treat myself by not buying a Rival model again.

VacMaster 87630 Pro 130 Food Sealer, Back Review

VacMaster 87630 Pro 130 Food Sealer, Back
Average Reviews:

I purchased the precursor to this 3 years ago and am on machine number 3 from ARY Inc. The first machine never worked. They sent me a refurbished machine to replace the brand new one, which I did not know until that one had to be replaced. The second had a "wiring problem" that made it impossible to adjust the sealing time. At that point, I requested a brand new machine or a refund of MSRP. ARY Inc. refused to do that and instead sent me another refurbished machine which will only vaccuum and seal if you hold the top down while the machine is running. If I spend my own money AGAIN to ship this one back to them all I have to look forward to is another refurbished model. ARY Inc. is not worth doing business with.

The VacMaster Pro 130 combines commercial quality with ease of use, making it perfect for everyday kitchen use. The Pro 130 keeps food fresh up to five times longer and is great for portion control and table-ready dishes. By combining advanced technology with superb design, we have created the ultimate in vacuum packaging systems. Our digital control panel allows you to choose automatic or manual settings or to instantly seal any bag, eliminating partial seals and wasted bags. The extra-long seal bar raises and lowers during the vacuum process so the bag is heated only during that time.

FoodSaver FSMSSY0210 MealSaver Compact Vacuum-Sealing System Review

I have been using Foodsaver products for years and have been very satisfied. I did have a Reynolds Hand Vacumn Sealer that I had bought at a supermarket. That thing was a pain from the day I bought it. It would take forever to get the vacumn to start working. I had to adjust the bags over and over to get a good vacumn. When I saw that Foodsaver came out with one I had to have it. I was not disappointed. This thing works amazingly well. It pulls an unbelievably fast vacumn on the sealer bags. Especially good for storing leftover cheeses and coldcuts. The hose retraction works well. One recommendation, buy the cheaper bags at the grocery store. I still buy the Reynolds bags. They work well and on sale they are about one third the price of the Foodsaver brand bags.

No need to throw away leftovers with the help of this convenient vacuum-sealing system. Designed for use with the FoodSaver vacuum zipper bags and meal containers, the unit removes the air with the simple press of a button, creating an airtight seal that keeps pre-cooked meals, ready-to-eat foods, and frozen foods fresh for longer. The thoughtfully designed device comes with an easy-to-use retractable vacuum hose, and it delivers the same amount of power as a full-size FoodSaver appliance, but in a smaller, more compact size that takes up minimal space on the counter or in a drawer. Accessories include a bag holder, two meal containers, five medium zipper bags, and four large zipper bags. The vacuum-sealing system measures approximately 9-4/5 by 9-2/5 by 10-3/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
