I love this machine.  Not only is it compact so it fits in small spaces, but you can store it easily in a cupboard without it taking up much room.  

It is definitely not something I would use every day, but I use it for separating large quantities of meats and fruit combinations for smoothies.

I love that it comes with some sealer bags because I feel that you get a general idea of what sizes you will need when re-ordering some more bags. I do wish the length was a bit longer for larger meats.

I have already recommended this to my mom, she lives on her own but cooks for 3-4 people and really needs something that she can put into 1-serving size to save for later.
