Not very impressed . Doesn’t seal very well if wet at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, thank you for taking your time to post this review. Your feedback is important to us. We are sorry to hear that your Vacuum Sealer V4440 is not working as intended. We would highly suggest trying some of the following troubleshooting that might help with the issue:
1. For units with removable gaskets, remove the lower gasket, turn it over and re-insert it into the track that runs around the vacuum channel. Also, check the other gasket.
2. It may be necessary to pre-freeze moist/soft food items to prevent moisture from compromising an effective vacuum/seal. These items include meats, fish, poultry, soft fruits, and blanched vegetables.
3. Test your FoodSaver by operating it without a bag. Allow the unit to complete the cycle. When the unit shuts off, lift the lid and gently touch the heat strip. If it is hot, please try to seal another bag.
4. Check the upper and lower gaskets of the machine. If either of these is damaged or dirty, the unit will not vacuum properly. Clean any food materials from the gaskets. Remove the lower gasket, flip it over, reinsert it into the unit and test the unit.
5. Make sure the open end of the bag is resting entirely inside of the Vacuum Channel. The edge of the bag should not go beyond the Vacuum Channel. Do not make your own side seams for a FoodSaver Bag. They are manufactured with special side seams sealed all the way to the outer edge.
If troubleshooting is not going to help with the issue, please contact us directly so we can assist you further. You can reach us at our toll-free number 1-877-777-8042. For your convenience, we are available from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday - Friday, EST.

This is my second unit, my first I used it for over 10 years. I save so much money on food by storing in the food bags using the food saver. This specific unit is great, it slimmer, it saves on counter space, it has all you need. Storage for a roll of bags, the side piece for zip bags and very easy to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!
