Food Saver Vacuum System. Whats your take on it?

[ijusthvit]

So I got a spam mail from FoodSaver, as many of you probably do!
I don't have a system yet and know NOTHING about them.

Is this model any good? Is it worth $56?

I dunno about that model, but I have used them for about 20 years & would not be without one.

What models do you guys have? You favorite features? Something you don't like or does't work as well as you would like? I am seriously considering buying one if its at the discount price. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

I have been using them for the last probly 15 yrs, maybe #4 now, very well worth the moeny spent..I have a "professional" model ..whatever. I purchased one that looks similure to the one you posted for my mother inlaw and she seems happy with it. I would be lost without em

Me & Louie got a old Kenmore from Sears...does real good. Now at work I ordered that 450 buck one from Cabelas for our helicopter parts...That sucker will suck....Rowdy Ray is the Cat Daddy to ask....he's probably livin it up at the hunting camp.

Not familiar with that particular model. From what I can tell, different models are made for different retailers and outlets. I have one from Sam's club. I wouldn't be without it. The only issue I would point out is that if you are going to be doing a large volume of sealing, with frequent cycles, consider a "gamesaver" model. They are designed to do this without requiring a cooling cycle. Mine needs a little breather every now and then. That sounds like a killer price to me.

Bought the v3460 yesterday for about $61.00 but see today its on backorder. It was about 60% and I figured I need one anyway so we shall see...

i have the same model (3440) and for that $$ you can't go wrong. there is a learning curve and yer not going to seal 50 bags in an hour with it but it has more than pd for itself in just saving food and for cures.....it is THE ticket. best feature is the "seal" button. you can detemine how much air you want out.........buy it!
