I have owned at least 5 Foodsavers and I swear by them! They have saved me thousands of dollars through the years. The food stays fresh longer and if you seal your meats flat they are convenient to stack in freezer and they thaw much faster.
I am replacing one of the space saver, auto sealer Foodsavers, I liked the idea of the auto seal, but it was difficult to use and I ended up being the re-sealer family member. I started to buy new gaskets to revamp my old one and had been watching for a new top of the line style, when I decided to buy this one. It has the same exact foot print of my old one and wow is this one a snap to use and it seals faster, better and a little quieter. I love how the drip tray pulls out for easy cleaning and the built in roll storage is great with a better cutting edge. All in all this is the Mercedes of the Foodsavers without buying the Game Foodsaver for 450 dollars!
Don't hesitate you will love this one!
