I purchased this unit to seal canning jars. Works well. It doesn’t store a roll or does not have a bag cutter but I have a food saver with those options on it already
Wanted this to do canning jars. You can use scissors to make bags and it is flat enough to fit in a drawer.
Not verypowerful. Had the larger one and think it was a better unit. Like that it fits in smaller space but not if it doesn’t work well
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This VS1260 has a small footprint. I can store it on its back in the cupboard that holds the crockpot with no issues. I'm still learning how to cut bags evenly and with enough headspace. It would be nice if the attachments could be stored "inside" the device, like some of the other models, but I bought the "great sale" unit, and I am pleased. I haven't used it often, but it is user friendly.
This unit is terrible! My old space saver food saver was so much better before it stopped working and I had it for so many years! What a waste of money… this is going in the trash!

This is a Christmas gift, so it has not been opened. It was received with the internal slip and no outside packaging. It did not seem damaged. It appears to be a money saving measure which is pretty bad if the product is going to be presented as a gift. Now Food Saver is charging me for a subscription I did not authorize or are interested in. I will purchase refills as I need them, not when you want to make a new charge. Please eliminate my non authorized subscription from your processing.

I bought this one for the size but because it is so small anything with a liquid spills whiile you are sealing. I am upgrading for a larger model for this reason.

Hello!
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback.
We recommend pre-freezing meats and other moist foods for 1-2 hours before vacuum sealing. Excess liquids from moist foods can cause the unit to not vacuum, and permanent damage can occur.
We encourage you to check out our guide for vacuum-sealing liquids.

I absolutely love this unit! Doesn’t take up a lot of space, and is super easy to use. I freeze single serving portions of stews, sauces, and soups then vacuum seal them. Perfect to take them out and pop them in boiling water for a quick home made dinner. Now I can buy bulk packs of meat too and not worry about freezer burn. Perfect gift for a single person or senior - a real money saver!
