FoodSaver Handheld Vacuum Food Sealer Machine Cordless for Zipper bags and food Saver fresh Vacuum seal containers FS1120

I've had 1 for years before it stopped working. I was worried they didn't make them anymore. Although the description says it doesn't come with a.base, I decided to order it anyway. It does come with a base and it wouldn't have fit the old base but it works perfectly. I couldn't be happier.

This is one of the most helpful items that I have purchased. Since I live alone, I don’t need one of the large foodsaver systems. This works perfectly to freeze items and avoid freezer burn. It takes very little space on the counter and is readily available when needed. The only flaw is that replacement bags are a bit pricey. But the system works quite well.

Small, convenient and easy to use with ziplock food saver bags.

While it worked, it was perfect! I loved this little vacuum sealer and felt better about myself for trying to be responsible by not using a million disposable baggies to store my food. But I’ve had 2 of them now that have just stopped working. I assumed I just got a lemon with the first one. And I don’t use it much: it’s just 2 of us. I will not be buying another of these.

Overall grade? B- I have a FoodSaver bag sealer with a built-in bag/container vacuum attachment. The problem with the built in attachment is that when it becomes damaged, there is no way to repair/replace it, other than buying a whole new FoodSaver appliance. So, I purchased this device. As I said, it works, but with limitations. • The power of the device is much less than a built-in device. Which means that it works more slowly. • It does not click on (Or off). You have to manually hold down the power button. • It does not stop when it reaches the maximum vacuum point. Which means that when using a zip-lock type vacuum bag, you have to watch the bag and stop the device at the appropriate time. If you are using a hard sided container, you have to listen to the sound. When the pitch is a higher tone, then it has reached a satisfactory vacuum level. On the plus side, the mouth of the device is round, as opposed to the old style FoodSaver attachment which has an oval mouth. This means that it works better with competitor’s bags, which use a round seal flap. Disregard the criticism by some of the initial 24-hour charge time before use. That is simply sound advice to extend the lifespan of the battery. When you get used to the limitations, it does prove to be a useful tool.

I just recently moved out on my own and I like to buy large quantities of meat at the local bargain place near me. I noticed I was going thru a lot of my ziploc bags a lot faster than I wanted to. And with the limited counter space I have, I couldn’t spring for a full sized food saver. And even then- I’m trying to use less plastic, not more. Then I found this lil doo-hicky and its accompanying bags. BEST PURCHASE. It’s a little picky on what angle you suck the air out of the bags with AND it comes with a collection cup on the suction cap just in case whatever you’re sealing comes with some ✨juices✨ which means WAY easy clean up. This thing and its bags are worth every cent since I bought it a couple months ago and has paid for itself and then some with all the money I’ve saved from not buying ziploc bags. Oh, best thing too- it’s got this little pinchy clip the bags come with. Since the bags are air tight, closing the bags is kinda hard sometimes. But with that clip? So easy. EASY like effortless. Arthritis friendly! Battery life is also as I expected. Good for a couple dozen uses then needs a charge for about 45 min. Then it’s ready to party again

Mini Foodsaver vacuum button doesn’t work . The marinate button works . Noticed a crack vacuum button is cracked Bought on January 4th need a replacement

Love this for sealing containers and bags. The small size makes it very convenient for daily use without taking up a lot of counter space. The previous one lasted about 3 years.

It comfortable to use.
