#It s great--here are some tips for 1st-timers like me (2008-11-14) This is my first vacuum food saver and I m delighted with it! I bought it a few months ago from Amazon. I tried to buy this at my local big chain stores but no one had this model, so I might have paid more, not sure. But had no choice. It was easy to set up and use--even for a novice. I was sealing my first bag within minutes. I ve made a few mistakes so here are some things you might want to know. 1) If you buy the rolls and make your own bags, don t cut where the cutter falls naturally--roll it back a little ...

#Can t sterilize canisters (2008-10-26) Vacuum storage is great -- allows bulk purchases to be kept for extended periods. But don t try to sterilize all the parts of a canister. The container part can be safely cleaned in a dishwasher, as stated by the manufacturer. The maker also states that the lid must be hand-washed, but says nothing about the wash temperature. So when a refrigerated guacamole turned brown (for the first time), I knew the lid had become contaminated. I also knew that any temp under about 170F would not kill most bugs (like well-done hamburger). So I im...

#Longer tails from end to sealing point with each newer model. (2008-10-07) I have been using Food saver/Tillia products for many years they are well made and have saved food and money, however, with each new model the distance between the ends of the bags you make and the sealing point get stretched out longer and longer. This machine (V2840) was the first I noticed this built in self serving, land fill generating and not to mention consumer pocket book wasting feature. On this model you (fortunately) can seal one end on the very end, the vacuum and seal end (unfortunately) is a ...

#works great (2008-10-07) This product works exactly as promised. We buy in bulk and then repackage things in smaller units. This saves us money because things do not spoil. The machine is very easy to use. We shopped around a lot before we purchased our unit. Amazon had the best price.

#Recommended. (2008-10-03) If you are looking for a foodsaver with a nice design at a reasonable price, this is the one to buy. Do not go for anything older for a few dollars less. My first vacuum sealer was really cheap and of course couldn t do anything properly. I am glad for bying this one,it was a lesson not to compromise with junk for a better price. .

Vacuum package your food with the Tilia FoodSaver system and it will stay fresh 3-5 times longer. These bags are freezer safe and actually prevent freezer burn. They can be microwaved or boiled to cook the food within.

#Cheaper and more convenient than the bags (2008-11-13) We freeze a large amount of summer produce from our garden and from our CSA subscription. These rolls are the best way of doing that. Not inexpensive, but definitely cheaper than the individual bags and more convenient by being individually sizable.

#Rolls save money - cut to size (2008-09-24) I buy the rolls so I can cut them to any size I want without wasting the bag. If I want to freeze 2 chicken breast - no waste of bag, if I want to freeze 4 chicken breasts - cut to size. I love that I can stack the chicken in the freezer without it falling over. We just bought 30 lbs of chicken breasts - boneless at Albertsons because they were offering them at $1. 97 lb. You can t let that get past with todays prices.

#High Quality (2008-09-22) I have been using this product all summer to store my garden harvest. It is a good quality plastic and seems much more sturdy than the over-the-counter bags you buy at the store. The rolls are pricey, but again, compared to other options given at the store, I think these are the best deal overall. I will continue to use these since I think they are the best product on the market so far.

#Buy the rolls instead of individual bags (2008-08-26) Just like others that posted reviews on this item, I agree that buying the rolls is much, much better than purchasing the individual bags. You are able to cut the bag to your liking and not be wasteful. I don t see myself ever buying the individual bags again.

#Food Saver System Review (2008-07-26) The Food Saver system allows me to store meats, fruits and vegetables, grown here on our small farm, for an extended period of time without the food spoiling or getting freezer burn. I ve thawed chicken that I froze 18 months ago and it s still in good shape. The system has saved us lots of money and was well worth the purchase price.

8 x 22 . FoodSaver Rolls have all the same great features as FoodSaver Bags, plus one rolls allow you to make custom-size bags so you can always have just the right size bag on hand. Most FoodSaver users like to keep both bags and rolls handy for the greatest packaging convenience and flexibility.

#food saver product (2008-10-24) we always buy or food saver products from amazon. we get good service &the product is excellent.

#Food Saver Continuous rolls (2008-10-03) We have been using Food Saver and its products for many years and find that it is the best protection of freezer stored food.

#Love them!! (2008-09-13) Like being able to cut size I need for Alaskan salmon (15-20 lb. Silvers - larger for Kings). Need good quality bags to keep fish from getting freezer burned - this is it!!

#Great to make own bags (2008-06-17) I really like the convinience of making my own sized bags. I ve also sealed it in the middle (down the center) to make skinnier bags.

#Good Product (2008-05-27) I have used roll of the FoodSaver bags and have found them as advertised. Easily cut, filled and sealed.

No matter what you re sealing, ground beef, strawberries, toiletries, or snack foods, you want to be sure the contents are securely sealed in the bag and that there is no interaction between the contents and the outside world. These strong bags when used with a Tilia vacuum sealer creates a leak proof environment.

#Pricy but well made Food Bags (2008-10-12) I ve been using the Food Saver system for several years. It does a fine job of extending the expected shelf-life of stored foods. The 1 quart bags are the size that are useful for a 2 party family. These bags are very well made, and seal to perfection. I may suggest one improvement. . . the seal line should be more adjustable so that the bag could be reused a couple of times. You should be able to cut off the bag at the seal point, reinsert a food, and reseal the bag. I can t do this because too much of the bag is wasted after cutting o...

#Would give it zero stars if possible (2008-07-13) I have no problems with the Foodsaver rolls . . . those seem to work flawlessly. These pre-made bags, however, have been next to worthless. Perhaps I just received a bad batch but only about one out of every 5 bag will even begin to evacuate much less hold a seal. Those that do evacuate typical lose their seals after a while. I m sticking with the rolls from now on. One positive is that I can use the box these came in to store bags I ve made from the rolls for later reuse. Other than that, these bags have been frustrating in ...

#Works great every time. (2008-06-02) I actually use these with a Rival Seal-a-meal vacumn sealer. They work great every time. They vacumn and seal easily. I ve even re-used bags three and four times. I hate to use more plastic, but love the results. I try to salve my conscience by making sure I recycle all the bags when they re no longer usable. I ve tried using cheaper bags from Wal-Mart, and had nothing but trouble. The Rival seal-a-meal bags actually work fine too, they re just harder to find.

#Foodsaver quart bags (2008-04-22) Keep a supply of Foodsaver bags on hand. Love my Foodsaver!Received product promptly.

#Food Saver Quart Bags (2008-04-18) We love the Tilia system for packaging food for the freezer. These quart bags are the size we use the most, and the prices for them on Amazon are the best we have found.

Use these bags with any FoodSaver machine to refrigerate, microwave, freeze, or boil. The Tilia system removes air and seals in freshness. It also prevents freezer burn which can be a costly problem.

#Very Pleased With These Bags (2008-11-26) Easy to use, and bags are thick,and appear to be of excellent quality. I have used them for ~8 months now.

#My Favorite Size (2008-04-28) I like the bags because you don t have to measure and cut, and only have to seal one side. I don t like to do anything in the kitchen, so anything that saves time and effort is for me. You pay more for bags than rolls, but your time is worth something, too. The pint bag is the one I use most for my husband and me, but I use some quart-size, too. I have two sealers, a standard size which I seldom use, and an old short one which lives on the back of the counter taking up very little space. Having it right there ready to use prompts me to use it muc...

#Pint Bags are great ! (2007-08-05) The pint bags are great for all sorts of smaller items. I recently used them for freezing corn. Good to use for exact amount you need for a recipe.

#Pint Size Bags (2007-04-02) I love to have this size on hand. My husband is on Atkins and I like to put his individual steaks in these bags. Then I can just grab one steak out of the freezer for him.

#food saver pint size bags (2007-03-25) These bags are terrific for freezing small portions of food. I use them for single size portions of prepared meals. They are great when you cook a large meal and split it into smaller portions. It s handy to just grab a meal and reheat it for dinner after a busy day. Great time saver and food saver.
