Fish, mine is doing the same thing. Pretty sure the seals are bad. Need a Rowdy Ray intervention for both of us.

That's a bummer, Scott. At first I typed that sucks but that would be an unintended pun so I changed it
Is there a good time for it to quit?

Originally posted by chris_h View Postive got an old V550 that i still use along with my new one, but it does the same thing and is usually caused by a small leak in the bag or the end im trying to seal isnt laying flat and has a crease breaking the seal, if the bag is creasing on me ill insert the bag with alittle extra bag, close and lock the lid, then grab each side of the bag and pull apart and pull alittle bit of the bag out.
ive had bad pre made bags and rolls and at almost $18 for a food saver brand roll or $18 for 2 black & decker brand rolls isnt good.
the new one i got 3 yrs ago is the V3420 and i havent had any problems with it, the only thing i dont like is the amount of bag material it waists on each end.

Originally posted by someAZdude View PostCostco has one on coupon too. If you have a membership I'd think about purchasing there. They have an excellent return policy. I am going to buy theirs. Sorry to hear that you had to get your neck red trying to seal the bags

Sorry to hear about your foodsaver going TU...if you or anyone wants a(nother) foodsaver, I got this via email yesterday. You will have to choose if you are throwing good money after bad, and if yours had lived a good life.
The link embedded in the ad takes me to this page:
http://www.foodsaver.com/Deals.aspx?...urce=MainImage
Also, on Saturday I got a postcard that their bags are 50% off if you use the coupon code HOLIDAY1A
last time they had a 50% off sale, I stocked up and probably won't need to order again for a year or so.
Thank you all for the input & suggestions. I hope this thread may help some others in the future.sigpic

I ran the normal "cycle" procedure without a bag & it went from the sucking mode, into the sealing mode once again & sealed fine......
Hippy & thanks againsigpic

Try this link, I have the best vac ($225.00) have had it for 4 years and gets a lot of heavy use,I have gone thru 5 or 6 food savers and none of them hold up like this one. A tru workhorse.

http://www.qualitymatters.com
next best choice is a little more expenseive (about $305 )but also very good. Both of these use the pre made bags or rolls with the moisture barrier inside,the best kind of bags and depending on size they are about $20 per hundred

Since this thread, my Foodsaver went through fixed mode, to won't work mode & now it's on fixed againsigpic

My nice $ 189 food saver crashed on me too. I bought a cheapo replacement food saver brand with no options from Target for $49 on sale and it works better than my old one. Of course mine crashed after I bought into the 8" roll sale I cashed in on a while back.sigpic
