Small and Vacuum Seals
on February 7, 2023
Posted by: AliieMMCA

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Foodsaver VS1210 helps extend the life of food by vacuum sealing and the machine doesn’t take up too much room. I like that the machine can be stored flat or vertically, which makes it easy to put away the Foodsaver when not in use. The downside of this being a space saving version of a Foodsaver is that it doesn’t have a bag or roll cutter installed inside. I don’t mind just using a pair of scissors instead and rather have a smaller machine. The machine is easy to use with just three buttons. I like that it also has the ability to use other Foodsaver accessories in addition to sealing bags. It did not take much of a learning curve to use this machine. I don’t find it any less powerful than full size Foodsavers. One negative of this machine is that it does require a bit of muscle strength to lock the machine down before being able to use it. The cover has to be pressed on both sides before you can start to seal or vacuum which might be difficult for some people with strength issues. The Foodsaver is useful to store groceries in the freezer and to separate up items bought in bulk. I also like to use it to seal things like bags of chips and other snacks. I think this is a good vacuum sealer overall and especially good if you are low on space and want one with a smaller footprint.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this to freeze excess food purchased on sale/ Costco/ about to expire. Works great. Much better than I can do using a straw and lung power, or immersion in water. Also, I’ve been using it to save old photos, so I don’t have to worry about water or mould damage. Just for fun, I tried saving half an avocado with it. Couldn’t believe it. The avocado was just like fresh 3 days later.

Awesome Kitchen Gadget !!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is truly a great gadget.This is my first vacuum sealer and I literally blown away with the fact that how useful it is.The sealer came well packed. I find this unit easy to use and a real money saver now as groceries are so expensive. It does a great job, quickly removing air and sealing snugly. It makes food much easier to keep in the freezer and not get freezer burn. I love being able to seal things and pop them in the freezer for later use.I can keep my salad ingredients longer in the fridge and my frozen berries and meats do not get the ice build up on them. It works well because we simply divide up the meat in correct portions, vacuum pack and freeze.Another great thing I loved about it -it’s weight and size .It is small and lightweight so doesn’t take much space on your counter top,it fits in my kitchen cabinet easily when not in use.A few vacuum bags were provided to get you started. Also a 8ft * 11 inch vacuum bag roll came with it.You need to cut out from roll as per your desired length and seal one end. The bags are nice and heavy.I've had it about a month and not only did it help me make more room, but it also has helped me keep the vegetable and fruit fresh.
Overall I am super happy with this vacuum sealer. It is small, easy to store. I was pleasantly surprised how well this unit worked. I would definitely recommend this unit to everyone especially to the people with limited space !!

Great Product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I picked up a FoodSaver Space Saver Vacuum Sealing System. Best thing I did! This is perfect for large families or singles. You can buy bulk or family size meat/chicken products when on sale and vacuum pack the number of pieces you need for a future meal. This is definitely cost saving. So simple to use with easy to follow instructions. The FoodSaver is also small enough for easy storage. It comes with an adapter, accessory hose, 2 qt bags. 2 gallon bags and a roll 11in x 8ft. No more freezer burn!

Not what I expected.

I'm very disappointed with this purchase after using another model for many years. The space saving feature was a draw as my other was an upright space saving model...it was a workhorse. My recent purchase does not have an accessory hose for my jar sealers and marinater. The outlet is there but no hose. It is difficult to snap close much more than I am comfortable doing..so afraid I will break the plastic tabs at each end. I would return it but frankly don't have the energy..I am 77 and taking care of my 84 year old husband who has fallen and broken his shoulder. Will just chalk this up to experience. Not a good model for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

False Warranty Claims
on August 30, 2025

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This foodsaver works great. I am able to make large portions of food and store it for later. The instructions are clear and it is easy to use. It is not too big which makes it easy to store. It is great quality and came with everything I needed to get started.
