FoodSaver®
4800 Series Vacuum Sealer, the 2-in-1 Food Preservation System (MSRP: $169.99 -
$199.99)
The
FoodSaver® 4800 Series Vacuum Sealer is the first-ever 2-in-1 Food Preservation
System! Combining the best of both worlds, this system is the most
versatile yet, giving consumers the ability to preserve foods in both the long
and short term with ease. Providing the functionality and convenience of
two vacuum sealing appliances in one, this system works with FoodSaver® heat
seal bags and rolls for long-term freezer storage, and, with its retractable
accessory adapter, consumers can use FoodSaver® FreshSaver® Vacuum Zipper Bags,
canisters and containers for short-term food preservation. In addition, a
handy marinate mode infuses food with flavor in minutes instead of hours.
Compact, upscale, and fully automatic, this appliance features an easy-open
drawer with patented removable drip tray for easy clean up. As always,
the FoodSaver® system keeps food fresh up to five times longer, helps prevent
freezer burn, and saves families up to $2,700 a year*. More ways to seal,
more ways to save.
My Thoughts
My husband wanted one of these for a while but I avoided it. I thought it would be one of those things that we'd use once and then it would sit and gather dust. I thought it would be complicated and annoying. Boy, was I wrong! Now that I have a FoodSaver, I have no idea how I ever ran my household without one! Not only does it save me money and keep my food fresh, I am able to accomplish the task with ease.
First off, the FoodSaver comes fully assembled. All you have to do is load up the roll of bags and its ready to go. Accomplishing this is no problem. It's no harder than putting a roll of papers towels on a dispenser. When you're ready to to use your FoodSaver, you measure out enough material for whatever you plan to vacuum seal, plus a little extra just to be safe. You seal up one end before adding the food. You'll know when it's finished as soon as the red light flashes. The easy to follow instruction manual will walk you through all the steps to actually sealing the food. It's fast, easy, and really cool to watch the air get sucked out of the wrapping. There are all different settings for all different types of food, but all of them are really simple. It doesn't take hours to vacuum seal your food, and it's definitely worth the small amount of effort it takes. Now I can buy in bulk without fear of the food spoiling. Seriously, some items will last as long as two years in the freezer!
The machine itself is as sleek as it is functional. The chrome face is easy to keep clean. Its lightweight and really not as big as I expected so it doesn't take up much space. I always thought FoodSaver was only for frozen foods, but you can really use it for just about anything. Its great to store leftovers, for transporting fresh baked goods, and even for jams and preserves. There is actually a retractable handheld sealer you can use for jarred goods, though this part I have not tried out for myself yet. The features I have tried, I really love! FoodSaver provides preservation at its best.

On their website I see that not only can you seal food in bags and containers, you can also create a seal on opened wine and bottles of oil. This aspect is especially useful when you do not finish the wine, but do not want to toss it since you cannot reinsert the cork.
I also like the foodsaver bottle stoppers, what a convenient thing to have around!
I like the Starter Kit.
Wow! I would get the FoodSaver® Wide-Mouth Jar Sealer. I thought FoodSavers only worked with bags.
I am a FoodSaver fan and want to gift one to my daughter for Christmas. They are great for repackaging bulk foods and for keeping meat like fish in the freezer.
