FoodSaver FM2000 Vacuum Sealer Starter System with Bags

I bought this product to vacuum seal crab cakes I made. As the crabmeat is very expensive I wanted to be sure the cakes were properly stored in the freezer. The instructions were good that came with it but I also viewed some online videos to be sure I was doing things properly. I think this is a good product with many uses in the kitchen.

My old FoodSaver died on me after thousands of bags sealed. I replaced it with this new model and I'm sealing bags again! I just sealed 10 pounds of cold cuts for the freezer. It's powerful suction seals the bags faster than the old one. FoodSaver is AWESOME!! TWO THUMBS UP and 10 STARS!!

I order this to replace my old one, which lasted 13 years before it stopped working. We love the fact we can buy sized packages and breaking them into smaller portions. It really helps save money on meats.

This is like the fourth or fifth one of these machines that I had to buy. I guess I need to slow down when using the machine. Because each time before the heating element stopped working And had to throw them away. Yes, I need to let it cool down a little bit in between each seiling of the bags.

This is my third FoodSaver machine, I just plain wore out my first two, use it all the time. I highly recommend this device. It is easy to use and will save you money. Buying in larger quantities, divide out and vacuum seal and freeze, this is a great invention. I also love to cook several meals, then seal and freeze. It's easy to heat and serve fully cooked meals for those times when you need something fast. One can control the level of vacuum, making it even more useful. I also use for Sous vide cooking, the bags are perfect and re-usable. Absolutely 5 stars!

LOVE IT!! I'm so happy I got one of these for me. Now I don't have to worry if any of my food items will go bad or buying in bulk. This food saver is awesome. I highly recommend for every home to have one. It's small, so it won't take up so much space. Has clean modern lines, looks amazing in my pantry. Love it.

Replaced a 15-yr old FoodSaver. New one is quicker, quieter, and takes up less counterspace. These machines literally pay for themselves. I've not thrown a stale bag of chips since I got one. Don't vacuum, just put the open bag on the heat strip, lock it and press 'seal'. Chips stay fresh much longer. Ditto with all kinds of food bags. Vac pack cheese and you'll never lose any. Plus lots more...

make sure you dry off ur meat. like really dry, cause it will not seal if any liquid get where it seals. others don't have this problem. this one does

This was a very horrible food saver. I vacuumed some ground beef and it did not seal correctly. I tried a meat very soft and it did not all the air out. Also I used FoodSaver vacuum bags and onced sealed, very poorly, the seal was not melted enough to keep the seal. Very disappointed and I returned it...

Unfortunately, it didn't work. Returning for a replacement. Hopefully the second one works. It sealed the bottom of the first bag but didn't vaccum the air out and seal the other side. Thought maybe I did something wrong, so I tried it again. Nope!! We'll see what happens with the replacement.
