" ... I use it lots for smoked meat and cheese ... "
" ... A nice red steak is just looks the same 5 months later. ... "
" ... Great way to store food/ meats to last awhile. ... "
" ... This is a good product that will definitely make your food last longer in the freezer. ... "
" ... FoodSaver allows me to package foods in serving size (wonderful for 1- or 2-person households) ... it is very effective--I have stored food for up to a year with no adverse effects, and I don't have a dedicated freezer. ... A particularly nice feature is the bag rolls, which allow custom-sizing bags ... I'm not locked into the off-the-shelf sizes of zip-lock baggies from the supermarket. ... The one thing I have learned is that vacuum sealing bread is not a good idea (unless you want ready-made tortillas). ... "
" ... The food can be defrosted while in the bag ... "
" ... easy to use right out of the box, did about 24lbs of meat no issues. ... Had chicken, beef, and deer. ... "
" ... An excellent way to preserve food in the freezer. ... "

" ... I haven’t thawed any for use yet to see if the seal has failed. ... The next day I had two seal failures. ... The FoodSaver FM2435 that I have is a piece of junk. ... "
" ... I've used foodsavers for years. ... "
" ... Produce ether poor or I just got a bad one. ... "
" ... MIND STOP WORKING IN LESS THEN A YR. WITH VERY LITE USE N THE COMPANY NEVER REPLACED IT OR TRY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. ... "
" ... It also no longer seals properly. ... "
" ... Lasted about a month and now doesn’t seal. ... "

" ... I use the vacuum sealer for many reasons, especially on silicone products that solidify when in storage. ... "
" ... I was surprised that you must keep tray very clean to avoid bad odor. ... "

" ... Highly recommended for a middle of the road vacuum sealer!! ... "
" ... It’s onky fully vacuumed one item perfectly out of about 30. ... "
" ... If you've never used a vacuum sealer there is a small learning curve but once you get the hang of it it's incredible. ... "

" ... Only got to use this once and it broke. ... "
" ... After 3880 finally broke (due to fine powder getting inside) I thought I would try the 2435 model as it was much less expensive than the higher end foodsavers. ... "
" ... First one would not even keep bag sealed even after tripple sealing both ends. ... "
" ... The sealer seams ti take to long ... "
" ... However after nine months of infrequent use the seal gasket comes loose after every single use. ... I'm going to look for a more commercial machine, this one doesn't make the cut. ... "
" ... You discription of the contents said it includes a 11"x10' roll of bagging material and it did not. ... "
" ... It overheats and melts the plastic. ... "
" ... It seals the right side of a bag, but fails to fully seal the left side. ... It appears to be a manufacturing issue, as the left side is visibly higher than the right when the lid is shut and locked down for operation. ... This means that the left side of the bag is not being pressed as firmly into the heat sealing strip. ... "

" ... because I can break a package down into smaller units and things stay fresh longer. ... "
" ... Very easy to use, it came with its own roll of bags. ... "
" ... I didn’t want the big bulky ones they now advertise. ... This size was perfect for the few things I needed it for. ... "
" ... I like the latching mechanism since the lever is only on one side. ... "
" ... Compact for the countertop. ... "
" ... Just pop the original bag on the sealing strip and voila, sealed until next use. ... "
