We've been wanting a food saver for awhile since we live in a big hunting area. I wasn't sure which one to pick, so when the opportunity came to try this one out, I jumped at the chance! It's easy to setup and use. It's not so bulky that I can't fit it anywhere. It sits nicely in my pantry shelf. The meat we sealed has been in the freezer for a few weeks now and still looks fresh and pink. Definitely better than the grocery store wrap job. Highly pleased.
