kimba Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 DH gave me the go ahead to purchase but I don't know what to get. I'd like to get on that will support the attachment for jars. I looked on food savers web site and found 2 that I think I liked. One was about $50 the other was about $100. Do they really vary that much?? Also where can I buy bags, inexpensively? I think I like the roll of plastic that you can make your own size bags from. Anyone have any advice or tips for me???? Thanks, Kimba Link to comment
Darlene Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I've owned 2 food savers...which ones in particular were you looking at? It appears they have several different models...here's their site which lists their product: http://foodsaver.com/Products.aspx?CategoryID=555 I've also heard that Walmart sells vacuum seal bags/rolls much cheaper than the Food Saver brand and people seem to have had good success with them. I don't ever buy the bags, I buy the rolls and then make the size bags I need. Link to comment
WormGuy Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Kimba I've got the V2480 model and love it. It does everything they say it will do. I have both of the jars sealers and they work great. I get my bags in rolls at Sam's and sometimes from Food Saver if they are on special. John Link to comment
mom11 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hi Kimba! Sams has a great deal on a Foodsaver combo pack. You get the sealer, several containers, some rolls of the plastic, and a jar sealer. It even came with a DVD, to show you what to do. I paid $118. They still have that deal and I think they have an upgraded model, where you can seal and partially vacuum without crushing your chips, crackers etc. Link to comment
westbrook Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 hummmmmmmmmm I think mine is burried under about 5 inches of dust... I have the Tilia.. got it from Costco in 1999. I use it to vacuum seal herbs and grain and that is about it. It is a sucky little thinger. Link to comment
kimba Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 I'm looking at Food Saver Essential series V475 $48.99, and the V1205 on sale for $99.99. That one has alot of accessories. I think I'm leaning towards that one. Anybody have that one??? Kimba Link to comment
Darlene Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I have the 2840 or 2860...I can't remember and I'm too lazy to go look lol... I think it would be wise for you to go with the 1205...it's a better machine, it comes with more accessories that you can use, it vacuums the air better, the wet/dry settings are useful for when you are vacuum sealing those different types of foods. That's one of the reasons I had upgraded from my original machine to the one I have now because it allowed me to do more things than the standard one, and I had a need for that diversity. If you can afford the extra money, you might as well receive the better benefit of a better machine that you'll use for more things than you can imagine right now. I'm excited for you...you'll really enjoy it! Link to comment
kimba Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 I ordered it!!! I ordered the V1205. I can't wait for it to get here!! Kimba Link to comment
moonstar Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I really like mine, I have apples, bananna's and pineapple in my dehydrator right now, and when it is done, I will vac seal it. Link to comment
