Review on πŸ₯« FoodSaver FM5860: Ultimate Vacuum Sealer with Express Bag Maker & Auto Bag Dispense and Rewind – Silver (UL Safety Certified) by Jessica Clay

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A big improvement over previous models

This is my third FoodSaver. The first two had issues, but this one solved the issues I had with them. My prior concerns were that (1) the seal would have been fine when I made it, but it would gradually lose its integrity in the freezer, and (2) even if I use a straight edge to cut the wrappers to ensure that the edges were perfectly straight, they still didn't line up properly. The way this model fixes them is that the sealing area is much wider than before so you can be assured of a good seal. I've had this for a month now and nothing in the freezer has lost its integrity. I've also opened a frozen bag and taken some out and put it in sealed foil and it stays on. But two things about it, it has a great tool on the tube that you can pull out to vacuum containers, a marinade tray and the coolest invention ever, they now make ziplok bags that you vacuum and then the ziplok part can open, take something out, close the ziplok part and vacuum again. What a money saver on bags. Be careful with the small pull outs for vacuuming containers and zippers - you will have to loosen the piece to seal the container and it will break if you try to twist it. At least I think it helped break it the second time around, but the company replaced the machine with a new one, no problem. i really like this one.
