I have one of these. The “nib” at the end of the vacuum tube you use on jars and other containers is incredibly weak and it breaks easily. When it does, forget ever finding another one.
Also, my unit (this unit) either vacuums OR seals. It does BOTH about one time in ten.
I bought a refurbished food saver sealer last time around and it wouldent seal no matter what I tried. The strip didnt heat up and it wouldent vacuum out the air enough to compress the bag. Food saver support was non-existent. Thankfully woot gracefully accepted the return. Buyer beware!
I’ve had a food-saver for about 15 years now. What I’ve learned is to put the bag in the unit, clamp down, pull it taught and just a little out, then seal. It works 95% of the time.
I bought the bigger one a few months ago. While I can’t vouch for the quality of this one, I can confirm that they work well and make frozen food last much longer. No more freezer burn, ever.
