Wowee, am I glad I bought this!
September 12, 2017
This is one of those purchases where you say, 'How did I ever live without this?' The first thing I did was run down to the local grocery store's annual meat sale and load up. Bagged and froze everything. It is really easy to use and does a lot of things besides just seal bags. Really glad I bought it and recommend it to everyone!
Exactly as advertised.
April 20, 2017
This thing isn't built tough, but it sure does the job. Have used it on meats, breads, seeds, and even cookies with great success in every application.
All in one vacuum sealer - Six month UPDATE
August 27, 2016
This is my first vacuum sealer, and once grasping how to use it, I am impressed with the ease of use and storage capability inherent in vacuum sealers.The 4840 is functionally identical to the model 4440, with the differences being that the control panel is located on the upper edge of the unit as opposed to the lower edge on the 4440, and the 4840 has brushed stainless side panels. I thought having the control panel on top would be a good thing (in use it doesn't really make a difference), and I found the brushed stainless steel chassis wrap attractive... neither affects the function of the sealer, and a buyer can get the same functionality and save $30 by purchasing the 4440.The learning curve is easy, aided by YouTube videos.Automated sealing works well, and the amount of vacuum can be controlled from the panel for fragile items or partial vacuum sealingThe attached hose unit is used for sealing vacuum zipper bags or vacuum sealing jars or drawing a vacuum in a marinating dish.In addition to the roll bags, zipper bags and bottom sealed bags are available, as are accessories for vacuum sealing jars and accelerating marinating dishes.HINTThe amount of material necessary to be fed into the sealing slot to make a bag was more than I expected, resulting in a slight amount of wasted bag material. I found it best to use what appears to be a generous amount of bag material from the roll, as the machine will not seal if the mating surfaces are not completely in contact. I found that 2 1/2 inches from the edge to the contents in the bag results in a reliable seal.PROSSolid, quality construction, attractive appearanceRoll bag storage in the unit is very handyAll in one vacuum source - bags plus the vacuum hoseCONSIt's big. The roll bag storage means it occupies more space on the counterWould prefer the cord be longerVacuum hose unit works well, but re-storing the hose in the unit can be "fiddly". Likely requires a particular wrist motion or Druid incantation to work smoothly.Would like to see a "manual" mode where the user can control the vacuum and sealing directly, independent of the microchip.sealing the ziplock bags can be frustrating... the bag's vacuum "port' must be absolutely clean and clear of any debris and on a flat surface, or it will not seal, or will "leak down" after sealing. Jury is out on their effectiveness.UPDATE - after almost six months, this has become a "must have" appliance for me, and I am disappointed I took so long to get one.. After purchasing quantities of meat, fish, flour and coffee, I divided and quickly vacuum bagged and froze them. Leftover holiday turkey received the vac bag treatment for later enjoyment.After three to four months, I removed Halibut, Ahi tuna and NY steaks for dinners... No freezer burn, meat and fish as fresh as when they were frozen. I bought 2 lb bags of four different coffee beans, poured a 2 cup daily supply into each of four containers and vac bag/freeze the rest in 2 cup portions. After 10 or so days, I have used the first beans, and replenish the containers from the freezer, maintaining FRESH ground coffee for a couple of months.The zip lock bags have been a major disappointment. I have been unable to obtain a reliable vacuum seal on any of them, despite taking extreme precautions and learning Druid incantations for the purpose :D. Have given up on them.If I had it do do over, am unsure I would spring for the large size unit, but am absolutely certain that I would have a vacuum sealer on the counter.
We absolutely love this thing and you will too... It's worth every penny!!!
January 21, 2016
We absolutely love this thing!!! First of all, why didn't I invent it? It works so well that it practically does it all on its own. Our foods stay fresh so much longer, we consolidate space in cabinets, in the refrigerator and especially in the freezer. Be sure to order additional rolls in all sixes for your cut-to-size needs and order quality zip lock vacuum bags for items that you'll need to open and resell on a frequent basis. I use the resell able bags for cereal, lunch meats, cheeses, candies and so much more. Don't second guess any longer as this unit looks great on the counter and is a very fast sealer that you'll find dozens of uses.
Fun and effective!!!!
December 18, 2015
I love this machine. It is very easy to use. If you have pre-sealed bags(pint, quart, gallon) you just put your food in the bag and press dry or moist and in 15 to 20 secs you have a sealed product. If you have the plastic rolls you can cut the size that you prefer with the cutter installed on the machine (which is in the same compartment as where you store the plastic roll) , press seal button to seal 1 of the 2 free ends, insert the food into the bag you have created, then stick the unsealed end into the machine, 15 secs later done. The cord seals the food saver zipper bags, marinates, and seals canisters. I have only used it to seal the zipper bags. I keep my herbs in those bags. When I need the herbs to cook. I take some out, zip the bag back up, and seal away. I have not use it for canisters or marinating yet. My first bulk food item was the rice. I bought a 20 pound bag on sale and I had a coupon. I split 20 lbs into 4 cups portions. Even when I only need to cook 2 cups of rice I cut the seal, pour 2 cups of rice, and reseal the bag. I have saved a ton of money buying in bulk and using coupons. This machine allows me to preserves the bulk items. For an example, there is no larvae in any of the rice. Additionally, we have a garden. The sealing is just not good for a few things like cabbage and mushrooms. Love it!
Works as described, easy to use Food Saver
September 8, 2015
Food saver is very easy to use and works exactly as advertised. Still getting used to how big to make the bags in order to leave ample sealing space, but will come with experience. Suggest making them a bit bigger at first, then at least you don't waste the bag. Important to note that you can't really seal wet items, including fresh fruit, unless you partially freeze them first; otherwise the juice gets sucked out and interferes with the sealing process. Love the ziploc bags that can be used with the accessory tool. Overall great item and would recommend!

I get these on Subscribe and Save so I never run out again!
June 14, 2017
Sory I ran out when I did - this keeps our food fresher whether frozen or not and I find th idea of getting another brand chancy. These do an excellent job and I won't buy an off brand to save a few cents when these save me big dollars on the foods, mostly meats, that I buy i bulk and cut up myself whether to freeze or store in the fridge for a few days.
It's easy to use
April 27, 2017
Since my boyfriend goes deep sea fishing and brings home LOTS of fish, this has come in soooo handy, I can't even tell you! It's easy to use, making the whole process of preparing the fish for the freezer quicker. Before we got this, we'd just bag the fish in freezer bags, throw them in the freezer, and then they would get freezer-burn. No good within 2 months. Now with the vacuum-packing, no freezer burn and the fish are still fantastic after 6 months. An excellent investment!

Purchased Several Times
February 20, 2017
I love my FoodSaver and these rolls of 11" storage 'bags' which I have purchased several times. However this last order came in a plain cardboard style carton--no FoodSaver packaging--which made me nervous about using them. I feel as though these rolls were taken out of other regular packaging and repacked into a plain brown cardboard box for some reason. That has never happened before, so maybe my next order will look more legitimate. If not, I'll probably go direct to the FoodSaver site to order from now on. With that said, the bags seem to be perfectly normal.
High Quality and durable bags for resealing food - Makes food fresher longer
January 21, 2017
I've been using these for years. Can't describe how amazed I was when I started using FoodSaver. It literally saves food. I get several additional days from any food and use these bags for anything I can (even for making bags to hold screws, etc.). I'd never try the off brands because this works perfectly with my Food Saver and has saved me hundreds in wasted food costs. So glad these exist!
Good thich heavy material.
October 30, 2016
Nice thick heave bag material. Some other bags-on-a-roll have a textured strip down the middle which does not provide enough area for the sealing machine to pull a strong vacuum. Other similar products tend to be thinner which can lead to punctures and a loss of seal. No so with these.

July 2, 2017
This has a great vacuum and is versatile for hand held or automatic vacuum. This thing really sucks out all the air. The only part I don't like is sometimes when I put the end of the bag in for sealing it automatically grabs the bag too soon. You have to be precise on where you insert the bag.
No handles
June 21, 2017
Nit picking, but the thing has NO handles. It's heavy. Unless you plan to leave it on your counter-top, look for something that has handles that assist in placing it on lower or higher cabinet shelves. Otherwise, it works great.
Excellent!
April 5, 2017
I'd give it 5 stars but the storage area could be larger (where the plastic roll goes) and I don't think I've ever completed a seal without pushing the seal button manually instead of letting the seal complete on its own.
Space saver
November 30, 2015
Easy to use. Fast sealing. My only gripe is how much moisture gets pulled from fish meat. But to combat sealing issues we put fish steaks in the freezer for 30 minutes to lock in water then vacuseal bags.
Good. Needs to be a little more sensitive!
March 10, 2015
It can be tough to get the bag in there far enough to start the suction process. keep your hands in the middle, curl down on bag, don't over fill, and push more in the center with your fingers on top of the bag. it's easier the second time for some reason. practice with an empty bag sealing one end several times first. DONT OVER FILL!!!!
Like it
January 7, 2015
Bought this as a gift for the wife. So she is writing this review. Would love to say; " I love it", but it didn't work. It would make a bag, once you put the food in the bag and started the machine, it acted liked it worked, but wouldn't seal the bag.The handheld part worked for the zip lock bag. Called Sunbeam and they walked me through some troubleshooting steps, but no go. The rep that I talked to, said the machine may be overheating. Called with the tracking number for the non-working machine and Sunbeam is sending me a new one, even before they recieve the old one. Just not real happy that I have to pay to ship it back. I feel Sumbeam should of paid to have it returned to them. Will come back and write a review for the new one I recieve.

A Hint To Prevent Bag Leakage -
August 30, 2017
If you freeze medium to jumbo size shrimp with their shells still on, wrap the lot in a sheet of plastic wrap, or stick them in a baggie, before you vacuum seal them to keep their sharp spines and other pointy parts of the shell, from piercing the FoodSaver bag. The same wrapping technique applies for beef, pork or lamb with an exposed bone. So far I haven't had bag leakage with fish bones.

sealer works very well but the retractable arm broke after a few months and will no longer retract on it's own. it was not handled roughly. now i have to force it back in after use. although annoying, it's not a huge deal but surprising for such an otherwise well made model.

Retractable sealer problems
November 2, 2015
I like the sealer. Fun and easy to use. But had to return the first one because the motor would not shut off. Then returned the second one because the retractable handheld sealer would not retract. Just received my third replacement. Took it out of the box and checked the retractable handheld sealer....it would not retract. I really like the sealer itself and am tired of having to send them back. After talking to a representative at the company, I decided just to keep it for now as it works fine and just put up with the cord not retracting. Keeping my options open right now, since it has a warranty.

Not as easy as the "bag" kind. Just a long spool that unseals the meat as it unthaws, allowing air to form around it.

August 10, 2017
Very suspect that this item comes in a plain box that says nothing about "food saver" on the packaging. I also checked the patterns on the plastic bags themselves and they are different from what originally came with my Food Saver— that I know for a fact is Food Saver's product. I am thinking this is a China knock-off brand, but can't prove it. And I don't know how it will hold up against my real Food Saver plastic. Amazon needs to stop letting just anyone sell on their sight.

December 26, 2013
I have had my FoodSaver for a couple years now. I really like how easy it is to use. However, the replacement bags are now a different, thinner material than the original ones that came with the actual FoodSaver. It seems that roughly 10-15% of items that I vacuum seal will lose their seal after a period of time, less than 1 year. I freeze produce from my garden, and will also freeze things like chicken if I happen to buy a big package and don't use it all right away. I am very careful to follow the FoodSaver instructions exactly, so I'm disappointed that I experience seal failure this frequently. At some point, I will look for a different vacuum sealing system.

February 27, 2017
As much as I wanted this to work it's not!!! When we try to seal anything with moisture it always leaves part of the bag unsealed. It is sometimes taking 3-4 times to seal a bag. It does perfect for anything that doesn't have any kind of moisture like hamburger meat, ribs and so forth. Now I just wish I would have known this or I would not have ordered it.
45% fail to seal
January 29, 2017
We have been using this for several months. Venison, jelly beans, metal parts, peanuts, etc. We follow the directions. We use the supplied bags. We use several other vacuum bags sold on amazon. We are exceedingly careful in keeping the sealing surface of the bags spotlessly clean. No matter, we have a failure rate of 45%. The bags all look to seal correctly, but if they are examined 24 hours after sealing we find nearly half are leaking air. If we then take these bags, cut open one end and then carefully put this bag inside another new bag, then seal the new bag... we still find a 45% failure rate! Not impressed.

Good deal...hate this type of bag
March 12, 2014
Great deal on the purchase but this bag has pleats in the sides so it is wasteful once you start to seal it. Awkward bag design.
Damaged and would not seal.
October 24, 2013
I could only use about 1/4 of one roll because it had damage that kept the bags from sealing. The second roll was better but every 4th bag or so had issues. I havent' opened the third roll yet but am in hopes that it's better.
they suck

they are good for leftovers but are too short and too costly for bulk repacks when i can find 50 foot rolls that i can set behind the machine for a lot less per foot.

More expensive model disappoints!
September 10, 2017
Very disappointed for the price paid. I've owned 2-3 previous models of Foodsaver & thought I'd splurge on a more expensive upgrade when my last Foodsaver died. First, it started giving "liquid basin full" error code even though catch basin was emptied. More importantly, it didn't hold the seal on bags that I'd previously sealed a few months ago. All-in-all, a huge disappointment for what was supposed to be an upgrade. My advice to buyers is to stick to their cheaper models & just toss them when they break. Or, go with a more sturdy, reliable brand like Weston-Pro 2300.

Very possibly conterfiet bags
September 21, 2017
I don't believe these are really the name brand Food Saver bags. They seem to be lighter weight, the dimples are a different design, they came in a plain brown box, they had a paper obviously off a cheap printer saying they were really Food Saver bags, The tape on the bags was a different color than all my 10 year's of using Food Saver bags have used, and they were very loosely wrapped and taped. The also had some sort of garbage about how they may look different because Jarden was often testing new designs. I would not recommend buying bags here!
No seal
September 10, 2017
I have bought these before and they worked fine. This time not so good. The 1st rolled worked as it was too, the second roll was all winked which cause only every 3rd bag to seal...the whole roll is like that..wasted six bags in a row just to seal up to two 1/4lb breakfast sausages patties. I will be looking to find a better replacement next time I order...

Well now I know where FoodSaver® gets rid of their reject rolls, and how about this, they weren't even discounted. If you do much vacuum sealing you've gotten a roll now and again where at the end of the roll was a little off kilter and ended up with some pressed in wrinkles. These rolls are that way start to finish.
