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

This unit works very well for a mini compact vacuum food saver, using the foodsaver zipper bags. However, the unit is $20.00 cheaper at Walmart .com

This handheld vacuum works very well not only with Food Saver brand products but also with other brands products. It also works on the older style vacuum food containers and as fast as the bigger bulky machines.

I have had this for 5 months. It worked great up until about a week ago. Nothing happened to it, it just stopped working well. It starts to suck out air, then makes a funny noise and stops. This is so disappointing, I had disregarded the low star reviews I saw when I purchased it and chose to put faith in the "Food Saver" name. It should definitely last longer than 5 months.

Sealed the bag well lasted in the freezer for months, can wash out and reuse

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.
