I have had a FoodSaver somewhere in my kitchen for as long as I can remember!!  Probably around 25years! There is nothing better to store cheese in!!  Fresh veggies right outta the garden and Into a seal-a-meal bag for the freezer they go! Nothing more impressive to company than when I  serve fresh corn-on-the-cob when there's 6" of snow on the ground! The ONLY problem that I ever had wasn't really a problem with the product I guess. The burn ban(?) that the bag sets on to seal, just gave way and was useless after that.  BUT...I JUST PLAIN WORE IT OUT!  I highly recommend this product!!  Just PLEASE MAKE SURE that it is the Original Food Saver brand because there are so many copycats/wannabes out!  Same goes with the bags!  HAPPY SEALING!!!!!!!
