Very finicky will keep sucking out air and doesn’t seal the package
1 reply from FoodSaver Consumer Care team - 3 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.

Disappointing performance
Very disappointed. Did not have suction power and options of one I was replacing that I had purchased 17 years ago. Returned and purchased one from different manufacturer.

Love the Simplicity and Size
The force needed to close the unit took some getting used to but it is just fine. There is much less waste of plastic above the seal than that on my fifteen-year old unit. I love that. I do miss the retractable accessory hose. However, I really don't use it much and I suppose I will get used to clicking the detachable hose in as well. Most of all, I love the low profile. i think it is the smallest and lightest model. I can easily slip it into the drawer. I don't miss extra functions such as Gentle and Moist.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
I bought the first sealer which worked for about a week. They sent me a replacement sealer which doesn't work correctly. The accessory attachment don't work well and are extremely difficult to connect. I also bought sealer containers which do not hold the seals. Basically, everything sucks. Don't waste your money.

Disappointed that this food saver does not store the rolls to make the bags. I have to cut them myself. I have been using food saver machines for over 20 years and this is a first.

I cannot see a single improvement.
I have had great success in the past as I freeze a lot of what we produce.This,so-called space saver takes up more room because now I have to find other places to put the roll of plastic and it is much slower hand cutting with scissors. The older models were much more efficient.The vacuum motor is weak and only some of the bags seal and even then ,many still have some air in them.

Great replacement vacuum sealer!!
I have had this for about 6 months to replace a much larger vacuum sealer that I had for several years that had finally stopped working. It is so compact and convenient that I love it and will never go back to the much larger appliance. Great Job!!
