This food saver is great to have in the kitchen. We bbq a lot and buy in bulk and this machine really helps to vacuum seal all my food to store in the deep freezer. It is very sleek and doesn’t take up much room on the counter or when stored in the cabinet. The buttons and levers are basic and straight to the point. Everything has worked flawless each time. It vacuums great, cuts great, and operates great. I haven’t had any issues. The bags used are thick plastic that don’t rip or tear either. I’ve used this constantly for weeks and no issues so far. Easy to wipe clean too. The green suction drip tray is removable also, I thought that was great because it gets yucky. Overall this is a great appliance to have in any kitchen and budget friendly too. Even replacing the bags don’t cost too much. I love it.
