The FoodSaver vacuum sealer is so simple to use.  It vacuums and seals so easily, plus it is compact not taking to much room up on my appliance filled counters.  I love being able to keep my food fresher longer.  With food being as expensive as it is we all need to conserve where we can.  The one downside I didn't like was you can only use the 8" rolls, quart, or pint sized bags.  You can attach a hand-sealer kit to this and use it with the fresh containers.
