FoodSaver® FS2160 Multi-Use Handheld Vacuum Sealer

over priced

Buen producto

This little hand held vacuum sealer is good as full size vacuum sealers...if not better. It works better than my old full size sealer. It's about 5". It comes with a recharging base. It's needs a 24 hour charge before using the first time. The manufacturer recommends a full 24 hour charge to extend the battery life. This has an internal battery that is charged by electricity. It come with 4 quart size bags. They sell 2 sizes....the quart and the gallon. The gallon bags extend open at the base to allow more food to go into it. The quart bag are smaller than expected. The will hold a pound of cheese or lunch meat. The gallon bags will hold about 6 chicken breast or a couple of large steaks, 4 pounds of ground beef....if you smash the beef into the bag. The gallon bags hold a good amount of food. Make you look at the different prices available..... right now, buying bags in bulk is not cheaper than buying just 1 individual box of bags. These bags are reusable. You simply put your food into the bag. Close the "zipper" and place the sealer onto the bag. The round end goes on the bag and you press the square metal end to activate it. There is a circular disk on each bag. That is where the sealer goes. It is important to make sure the zipper is completely closed. If it doesn't work immediately the zipper isn't closed all the way. This sucks the air out quickly and completely. This doesn't work with other bags. I really like it much better than the full size vacuum sealer. There's not cutting bags and sealing the ends before using. There's no trying to maneuver the bag in the machine the right way....no error messages. No holding a bag filled with food while waiting for it to vacuum. This is small and portable. After opening the bag to remove some food..... all you have to do is re-vacuum it I really like the zipper feature, instead of sealing both ends of the bags. It helps keep a tight seal. My old vacuum sealer would lose some of it seal, especially when putting food in my freezer. I really like this little gadget. My full size vacuum sealer quit working. I was looking for a replacement and decided on this. I'm glad I did. . This is much cheaper than the full size vacuum sealers. I was not going to spend a lot of money on a new one. I highly recommend. It's better than my old sealer.

Like all the one-year reviewers my old model, which was fire engine red, simply quit working one day. When I looked for replacement I gasped when I saw price tag of $128.95 and said "no way!". Then this new model popped up, and at a deal price for basically half off. So I decided to buy it, but I added the protection plan because, quite frankly, I do not trust the quality any longer. So far I have used it about half a dozen times, and it is doing well. I have not used the marinating container which, I noticed, does not have an insert that keeps the meat off the bottom and thus marinades on both sides. So I will use one from another container. The marinating container is of the same thickness as the square Freshsaver containers that never keep their suction intact. If it dies on me, I will update this review accordingly. I have never had to invoke an amazon.com warranty YET, but the few extra dollars provide peace of mind. I like that I don't have to stay put and keep the button depressed, but it didn't shut off last night and I had to remove it manually. I have had a Foodsaver ever since it first came out and love its performance. It makes a huge difference in less wasted food.

Simplemente no funciona, intenté con bolsas, contenedores y hasta tapas, todas de la marca Food Saver y simplemente no genera vacío, solo hace ruido y nada. Lástima que perdí la ventana de devolución.
