Food Saver VS3130 Premier Multi-Use Vacuum Sealing

Thanks to Consumer Report (CR) Magazine review of your product I made a purchase and I am pleased with the result of the unit.

Complaints

Don’t like where the cutter is located, and the remote piece for sealing is annoying, as it never stays where it’s supposed too. With that said, I still have used 3 rolls of bags.

VS 3130 FoodSaver

It works good as long as you apply pressure while it's working. Then you have to wait five minutes between sealings.

It is unlikely to function so I seldom attempt to use my vs 3170.

So easy I didn’t need instructions!

I purchased the FoodSaver® Premiere VS3130 just this week and since I have stored half a cow, 6 chickens, pork chops and ribs, etc. I should have purchased a more commercial kind but decided on this one and I’m not regretting one bit of it. I have never vacuum sealed before and was able to figure this out without using instructions. I am now cutting my own individual size bags and it’s working out great.

Junk

Did not work well, if at all, and was an immediate return. Could not seal the bags correctly and had to use the vacuum/seal function multiple times to get it to work. Atrociously bad vacuum ability, it barely removed air and was not worth the time. Do not buy this unit, it will cause freezer burn if you can get it to work.

Great foods saver

It's a little different from the last one I had but it works faster

Newer is NOT Better

I got this to replace an older model (well over ten years old) that was starting to lose its efficacy. This model is absolutely terrible. It uses so much plastic in order to cover a food item. The "5 inch Ruler" provided with the new rolls is just an example of the waste associated with sealing. Also, I don't feel like the sealing mechanism is adequate. I have noticed freezer burn on a couple of food items. I have only used it a handful of times and find it inconsistent. I am not sure how my husband purchased this but, boy would I like to return it and go back to what I had.
