I got the model FM5200 as a gift and I do love how easy it is to use BUT we are a hunting family, almost all our meat comes from what we raise or what we hunt. The unremovable drip tray is a VERY bad design. Once you get so much liquid in the tray it drips down the rest of the machine so cleaning it is a big headache.  I will say I do love how light and convenient it is to use and that you can see the vacuum roll is wonderful. I would suggest this machine for someone who cans and stores dry food but just beware, it's a big hassle to clean.
