I have 2 food savers because they are the best. This last one is absolutely perfect for setting on my counter top and doesn't take up much room. I would definitely recommend this product.
This is my second Food Saver. The new one with its wider sealer makes it so much easier to seal. Putting everything on the front, including the hose attachment is such a great idea. I read an earlier review before making my purchase that said that the 3250 didn't give good instructions on how to operate it. Maybe because it was my second one, I found that was not so, but that it was surprisingly easy to use from my first attempt. Thanks for another great product.
This whole system is fantastic. I date everything when I put it in the freezer. Recently I found a pork chop in the bottom of the freezer that had been vacuum sealed with the Foodsaver. It had been there four years. I decided to experiment and thaw it out, and it was as fresh as the day I froze it!
Local food store had fabulos sales on beef, steaks, pork and chicken. Had just received my 3880 machine with the portion bags and set about packaging. I was able to put one steak in each pouch saving lots of bag material. Have no problem sealing both pouches and have also experimented sealing each separately...no problems.
