More problems than its worth
I bought this for the "space saving" feature but its not worth it, neither are the bags. First off, sometimes while in vac/seal, it continues to run the vacuum and never seals. I have had to lean on it, I hear the tone change and then it usually goes to seal but not always. Now, 9/10 times I plug it in and all the lights come on but won't let me select any of the 3 options. This occurs whether its the first time using it that day or after a few bags. It takes me a few minutes between each bag so it should have time to cool off. I found that if I unplug it, hit each button twice and then let it sit, it will reset itself. I found this on a troubleshooting site that said "hit the cancel" button which I don't have. And finally, the bags. I am using actual FoodSaver bags and most of what I seal is dehydrated. I might expect some of the more prickly items to puncture the bag but 1/4 bags lose their vacuum seal quickly. This is becoming costly both in bags lost and food lost. Thankfully most of my trips are shorter and I store the dried food in the freezer so not much time for spoilage.

Preferred the easier to use older version
Just tried this today. It is awkward trying to keep the e sealing edge of the bag flat while you pull the lid down. If you are arthritis like me, it is hard to press down on the two edges to lock it. I liked my previous food saver with an easy locking mechanism, easy to follow instructions in the lid and an easy load edge of the bag. Once I figured out that the bag edge could not be over the drip channel, I was finally able to get it to vacuum and seal. I didn’t think it was much less bulky that my old unit. I haven’t had it long enough to assess how well it preserves food. Would definitely prefer my old food saver. Sadly, it “died”.

Stay away
This vacuum sealer is junk. It struggles to turn on. When it does turn on it doesn’t vacuum all the air out. Then seals the bag with lots of air inside. I then have to wait 10-15 minutes for it to vacuum again. This is only my second time using now it’s headed for the trash.

Hello Brooks, Thank you for reaching out to us with your feedback on our VS1260 Space Saving Vacuum Sealing System. We are sorry to hear that the unit did not meet your expectations and was not fully removing the air from the bags. We recommend ensuring that the open end of the bag is resting entirely inside the Vacuum Channel, as placing the edge beyond the channel can affect the vacuuming process. That said, we value your feedback and it will be forwarded to the appropriate department for further review. If you require assistance, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us directly. You can do so via the 'Contact Us' form on our official website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! FoodSaver® Consumer Care

Very finicky will keep sucking out air and doesn’t seal the package
1 reply from FoodSaver Consumer Care team - 8 months ago
Hello. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the FoodSaver® Space-Saving Vacuum Sealer. We’re sorry to hear that the unit has been finicky and continues to pull air without sealing properly, we understand how frustrating that can be. Please try the following troubleshooting steps, as they often help resolve sealing issues: - Ensure the bag opening is clean, dry, and free of wrinkles, as moisture or folds can prevent a proper seal. - Confirm the bag is positioned correctly and fully inserted into the vacuum channel. - Check that the lid is completely closed before starting the cycle. - Try using a new FoodSaver® bag, as damaged or non-compatible bags may affect sealing. - Allow the unit to cool for a few minutes between seals if multiple bags are being sealed consecutively. If the issue persists, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! Foodsaver® Consumer Care

Simple plain Jane sucky bag machine
I had a whamodyne fancy sucky bag machine that had bells whistles and flashing lights. You know if it has all that stuff it has to be better. It lasted about 3 years and quit sealing properly. So I bought this simple sucky bag machine. Not disappointed at all. About half the cost of a fancy one but does the job and fits in a drawer with all the bags and accessories. You won’t be disappointed.

Bought in-store, didnt turn on...
It was cheaper in-store vs. Target.com, which was great, but when I plugged it in, it wouldn’t turn on. I tried 3 different outlets just to be sure, but nope, it was a dud. I saw a lot of people online say the same thing when I was looking up tutorials and ironically enough, mine didn’t turn on either.

This company sucks now.
After a few years I have bought three different models and they all last perhaps 1 to 2 years with light use. This company has turned to crap! The first cheap one worked the best and longest.

False Warranty Claims
I have a VS1230 model, about a year and a half old. The suction has completely stopped working and when I try to put my warranty claim in after going through their list of trouble shooting methods, they tell me the date code is invalid, even though it is on both the original box and the prong of the outlet plug. Clearly getting themselves out of honoring their warranty! Will not do business with FoodSaver again!

Terrible
Thisis a very inadequate machine. The top does not stay down and sealed. I have to hold it in place securely to use the vacuum. That may be why the vacuum seal does not work very well. I do not recommend this.
