| My wife is talking about buying a Foodsaver V3020 Vertical or a V2244 Foodsaver. They are both about 75 bucks. I would appreciate any input or other recommendations. How about coupon codes?...............tightlines.cC |

My foodsaver is an older model, but still going strong. I use it for all kinds of things. The bags are a bit pricey but well worth it, in my opinion. _________________ "Ya'll must eat a lot of fish" |

| We have gone thru 4 of them. All crapped out after a year or so. Whether it be the seal hot strip. Motor, or the vacuum. Will I buy another. No. Ziplock however has a product that sucks out the air in their bags and it only costs a few bucks. (Small pump).it does the job for a fraction of the cost |

My Food saver is working okay but you have to wait a minute or longer between sealing or it will not work (vacuum) it will just heat seal. _________________ Like Corpusfishing.com on Facebook! |

Foodsaver brand does seem to improve their products over time. Bed Bath and Beyond probably has the most liberal return policy. Keep your receipt and packaging. I even have had luck returning returning a coffee maker to the CC store that was out of warranty and they replaced it. _________________

| I bought the kenmore select seal and save about 2 years ago, I works really well, plenty of power and will even suck down jars. The kenmore bags are much better than the foodsaver bags also... |
