It's nice, but not sure it's worth all the money. For what we paid, I'd expect it to suck the chrome off of a tail pipe! haha It doesn't get all the air out of the bags. Could be a user error, but we follow the directions....and still a bit of air in the bags (we'll keep trying). The air tight containers/vacuum seal containers are nice...and that little hand held vacuum sealer works great!
Purchased this product to store pre-cooked chicken legs and thighs for easy access for a special diet. I've found individuals pieces of meats, fish and chicken together in one bag is a real chore as these foods will not lie flat and fall to the bottom of the bag, bunching together. I had a FoodSaver years ago with the sealer lower to the table. Is it necessary to purchase another machine like the one I had before as this Elite All-in-One does not do it all. Shall I return this product to FoodSaver or to point-of-sale purchase?

This unit is very easy to make bags and vaccum seal. The bag maker makes bags very quickly. The auto bag detect for vaccum sealing is a great upgrade from my last.
I just love this upgrade for me. Takes less counter space and now I don't have soup all over my counter. I buy in bulk and there is only me, so I need a good storage system. Now I have a Instant prepared meal, mainly because I mostly cook for 4(still cooking as if my grown family was still at home).I rarely throw away food now. I can Instantly Bag, Refrigerate or Freeze and the bags take up little space compared to putting soups and vegetables in containers .
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this as a replacement for my third Foodsaver machine. Based on the price and the features I thought this was perfect. After several months, I've found this machine works well doing the job, but it is poorly designed and far from user friendly as my other ones were. The bag feed and seal system is poor and the way the machine operates is not easy to use.
