I did a lot of research before deciding which FoodSaver would work best for me. I watched videos on YouTube and read reviews here. The reason I went with this style and not the most expensive one was because it is NOT automatic. More expensive models will cut the roll for you and use a lot of plastic. Cutting to the right size takes very little time and plastic isn't cheap! Now, as an "empty nest," I've noticed that leftover food from the freezer burns up before my husband and I can eat it. I used to shop in bulk when we had a house full of kids and now I don't want to pay a higher price for less groceries. I've seen many reviews complaining that their FoodSaver isn't working properly. Basically, these were more expensive models. This one is perfect! Now I can continue shopping in bulk and our groceries don't burn in the freezer. If you're cooking meat first (e.g. meatballs), make sure you refrigerate before packing to keep the juice from spilling out. I shake off excess liquid like a chicken before sealing because it draws out a lot of the juice and can prevent it from sealing completely. I erased the edges and resealed just above the first print and it worked great. Great rescue! I've used it about 5 times - make sure you let it cool for 20 seconds between each sealing - and it will work fine. I had no problems with that. You can also cook food in the bag! Low and slow way! Heat a pot of water to about 180 degrees, add the frozen food and it's ready in about 30 minutes. I made 4 ounces. Piece of frozen salmon and it was delicious! Wet and flaky and I didn't have to use the oven! Let the food sit for about 5 minutes before opening the bag.
