FFS010 Fresh Food Preservation System – Vacuum Sealer Machine For Airtight Storage – Compact - Black

When I decided that I should vacuum seal a lot of food kept in the fridge and my bread, as I was throwing out a lot because I wasn’t using it all. I initially bought the smaller Fosa vacuum sealer, it was good value for money and you got more containers with it but I quickly found that it would not seal all the containers. So I intended to return it and bought the Fresh Food Vacuum Sealer (mains supply) to replace it. The Fresh Food Vacuum Sealer was very easy to setup, just take the packaging off, plug it in and your good to go. It came with one container and five bags, I tried the bags first, very easy to seal. Just put your food in clip the double seal at the top together put it on the base of the sealer, align the circle on the bag with the nozzle press the button and you can see the air being removed instantly. None of the bags failed either. It was the same with the single container that came with it. Sealed first time and held. I did look at extra containers but they are either very expensive or sold out. So I decided to try the containers that came with the Fosa as I hadn’t returned it yet and the vacuum hole was the same. No one tells you that these much cheaper containers work with this machine, it actually sealed two that I thought had faulty valves because as soon as the vacuuming was finished the air just rushed back in. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable easy to use vacuum sealer, along with the Fosa containers if you want some more that are, cheaper and just as reliable as the Food Saver containers. I added a large container for bread at more than half the price of the original and it works very well.

It works fine, process is simple and effficient. Boxes are expensive but so far are good in holding vacume

Since my initial purchase, I've only had a couple of occasions where it hadn't worked right straight away, unsure why. Overall, the food saver vacuum is very quick and efficient, takes no time, but saves time later in the week, when I used to have to start preparing lunches. The foods I've had, the food I've prepared, has stayed fresh. At this time I've only used containers, I'd not use the bags the same. 👀. Handheld Cordless - I've recently purchased the foodsaver handheld cordless (reviews go jointly with main machine above?). Nice little machine, quieter, takes much less room. Machine attaches easily to the top, once sealed, re press button and it releases the container. A little slower, but great device which does the job too 👍. Will continue to use both machines. Handheld good value also, as comes with 10 bags and one big container.

This is a good product very useful does not take up a lot of space cuts down on waste and prolongs life of food

Have a larger Foodsaver bag sealer with hose, but I used the hose so much I decided it would be more convenient to have this on my countertop since I use it everyday. Glad I purchased this unit.
