i've had the upright foodsaver for over six months now, and have been able to buy foods in bulk, freeze in individual packages, and no throwing away freezer burnt meats or veggies..
my cheeses stay fresh. leftovers are saved as separate meals for future dinners....what a time and money saver.
the product performs beautifully, and the money i save lets me buy more expensive cuts of meats occasionally.
wish i had bought this sooner!
