Foodsaver Reviews

2-in-1 Foodsaver Vacuum Sealer  

With this 2-in-1 food sealer you get both machine/heat sealing and handheld sealing in one device. A retractable handheld sealing tool stores conveniently inside the unit, so you don't have to buy a separate device for sealing zipper sandwich bags and small items. The handheld sealer works for canisters as well.

A couple cool upgrades in this model are the new Vacuum View window that let's you see exactly where the bag seals so you don't waste any material, and the Express Bag Making feature that automatically seals the bottom of your NEXT custom bag in advance so that half the work is already done for you the next time you use the unit.

The sealing process remains simple with hands-free (with automatic start when it senses the presence of a Foodsaver bag). The new indicator lights give you a "check toner"-type warning when you need to check the bag or empty the dishwasher-safe drip tray.

The Pulse Vac button is meant to give you manual control over the vacuuming process for delicate foods. You can decide how much air to suck out before hitting the seal button so you don't crush your bread, chips, or berries.

This new sealer doesn't skimp on the other features that we've come to love. It offers a moist and dry setting, roll storage and a handy bag cutter.

As far as the footprint, the 2-in-1 is kind of a hybrid between the old clamshell design and the recent vertical models. It's slightly narrow and shorter than the 3880 (below), but the depth of it will still take up less than 6 inches on your countertop.

Foodsaver Reviewer Bayala says: "I can individually package large packs of meat for easy recipe needs, store more in my freezer and no longer worry about nasty freezer burn."

Best Vacuum Sealer for Small Spaces  

Reviewer Mike22640 says: "Much easier to use compared to the automatic sealers. With this model you just position, close the lid and press the button. Works every time!"


If compact is what you need,and you prefer a manual start, then the Foodsaver 2100 vacuum sealing system is the one for you. It has a flip-up design to save counter space, which helps keep the footprint small.

Here's a review of what the 2100 has to offer.

The compact FM2100 has a flip-up design to save counter space. You get internal roll storage and a built-in cutter to make the bag size you want to help you conserve on bag material.

You also get an accessory hose for sealing for canisters, and a removable, dishwasher-safe drip tray for easy cleanup.

Foodsaver VS2150  

Here's another compact model with up-to-date capabilities, giving you both vacuum-seal and handheld vacuuming capabilities in one. It also has automatic operation with a single push of the Vac button. It's quite intuitive to use.

This model has the standard features like the built-in roll holder and cutter, removable drip tray, accessory hose, and the moist sealing setting.

Why choose an automatic Foodsaver?

The main reason is that eliminates human error regarding when a bag is sealed. It only stops when it detects all the air is gone, versus you making the call and stopping it manually when you "think" all the air is gone.
