The little machine is fine at first but it doesn’t last very long. I’m on my third one in a 2 year time period. If it sucks up any moisture at all you might as well kiss it goodbye.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Doesn't seem to have enough power to seal a container.

Hello Dalek! Thank you for sharing your experience with the FoodSaver V1100 Cordless Handheld Food Vacuum Sealer. I'm sorry to hear that you're encountering difficulties with its sealing performance. Here are some troubleshooting steps that might help resolve the issue:
1. Ensure Proper Contact: Make sure the vacuum nozzle is centered over the gray circle of the bag's air valve and placed flat. Apply moderate pressure to create a secure connection.
2. Check the Bag Seal: Verify that the zipper on the vacuum bag is firmly closed. Slide your fingers across the entire zipper to ensure it's sealed properly.
3. Inspect for Debris: Examine the area around the seal for any food particles, moisture, or grease, as these can prevent proper sealing. If present, clean the area and try sealing again.
4. Flat Surface Placement: Ensure that the air valve is on a flat surface without any food underneath, which can interfere with the vacuum process.
5. Charge the Sealer: Confirm that the sealer is fully charged. A full 24-hour charge allows the device to seal up to 60 quart-size bags.
If you've tried these steps and the issue persists, it might be beneficial to consult the user manual or contact us at FoodSaver's customer support for further assistance.

Doesn’t work with older Food Saver containers. Seems okay otherwise but don’t want to have to buy new containers.

Hi Ron,
Thanks for your feedback! You're right—while the FoodSaver V1100 Cordless Handheld Sealer works well with most current accessories, it may not be compatible with some older FoodSaver containers due to design updates.
We understand not wanting to replace containers, and we’ll be sure to pass your comments along to our product team. Let us know if you’d like help finding compatible accessories for your current setup!
Have a nice day! FoodSaver Consumer Care

My first unit performed admirably for over two years with near-daily use. Upon its failure, I purchased a replacement. Unfortunately, this unit malfunctioned after only two weeks; it charges but will not run. It would have been a five-star purchase had it functioned correctly.

I have had 2 foodsaver machines and somehow the handheld on both was rendered useless. When I saw this and that I wouldn’t have to replace my machine yet again I was tickled! This savior had every bit of suction and has nothing I need worry of breaking off. You won’t regret this purchase
