This FoodSaver vacuum sealer does not take up a lot of space on the countertop. It's small and convenient. It comes with 1 roll (8x10) and 5 (1 quart) of vacuum seal bags to get you started. The one thing I didn't like about this sealer is it doesn't seem to seal as tight as my bigger FoodSaver. I don't know if my meat hadn't froze enough before I started sealing. I've only used it once, so I'll have to try it again.  Also, the instructions weren't quite that clear. Apparently, it seems it's not made to store a lot of food at once.
