FoodSaver Elite All-in-One Liquid+™ Vacuum Sealer with Bags

I had an original Foodsaver that finally, after MANY years of use, began to act a little iffy.....I hesitated because most newer models just weren't what I wanted...I don't leave appliances on my counter, so this one is GREAT because it's actually lighter in weight and a tad smaller... easy to store and grab when needed. It is a bit of a learning curve because it does more then my old one, but I am living it! And it still had the attachment to vacuum seal jars and such! NOT DISAPPOINTED and look forward to many more years of vacuum sealing ALL my food

I LOVE it! Works GREAT!

Foodsaver Elite:I returned the FoodSaver because after 7 calls to Amazon I still did not get a satisfactory response to my question. Also, after I reached out to the manufacturer ( said response will be had within 24 hrs) there is still no response.My concern was that I did not see an obvious drip tray and wondered if what I was looking at was the drip tray on the FoodSaver Elite (or was it missing that part).Apparently, this FoodSaver Elite drip tray has silver like elements embedded to the left inside portion of the drip tray which can lead one to believe that it was not the drip tray. After all, some of us are used to seeing drip trays that are just made from plain plastic (nothing embedded in them).The product manual states that there is a drip tray and how to remove it. That information did not help. After unsuccessfully trying to follow the instructions to remove, what I hope will turn out to be the drip-tray, I gave up (I did not want to break anything).To make a long story short, what I thought was the drip tray was actually the drip tray (that piece of plastic with the silver elements).I figured that out after viewing about 10 videos..I also read many reviews, and some reviewers shared that the FoodSaver came without a drip tray. I believe that these individuals, also, could not identify the drip tray.What a waste of time and energy.One good thing that came out of this is that I spoke with an Amazon rep who empathized with me, did her best to assist (although she too was unsure about the looks of the drip tray), and even followed up with me.I did not give the FoodSaver a bad review because it has a lot of potentials. However, instruction manual, product manufacturer, and many Amazon reps could do a better job to help the customers with a simple question rather than stating I should return the item.

I am a kitchen gadget queen and purchased this as a replacement for an older Foodsaver that was constantly frustrating me with its inability to seal as many times as I needed it to without having to let it cool down in between seals.THIS WAS THE BEST UPGRADE! It took a little getting used to in terms of sealing the bags before cutting them but now that I'm used to it I find it creates a very nice flow to packaging whatever we are using it for. The liquid setting is very impressive and I've not had any problems sealing anything following the instructions and tips provided in the manual.If you are like us and prefer to purchase in bulk to save money do yourself a favor and invest in this machine!

The media could not be loaded. The FoodSaver Elite All-in-One Liquid is my first vacuum sealer. I’ve tried other brands before, but they didn’t perform well, so I decided to invest in a name-brand product hoping for better quality. Unfortunately, mine doesn’t work—it either arrived defective or is already broken. I’ve tried plugging it into multiple outlets, but all it does is make a continuous clicking noise.I searched for troubleshooting tips on YouTube and the FoodSaver website, but haven’t found anything helpful. The clicking seems to be coming from inside the unit, and I’m not sure what’s causing it. I’d like to open it up and inspect it, but I don’t want to damage anything.Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

I really like the design of this machine. Having the point of insertion of the bag be up off the countertop not only allows you to seal bags filled with liquids but also makes wrangling larger pieces of meat easier. The automatic bag detection lets you use both hands to get the bag into position which helps to avoid wrinkles and failed seals. Even though it seems more imposing sitting on the counter I don't think the footprint is actually any bigger than my older "lay down" model.

We are longtime fans of Food Saver. We've had many of the years and this is just the latest one. We got this one to go with our professional Food Saver model because it does "wet" items. It takes a little getting used to but once you get the hang of it, it goes swimmingly along and next thing you know, you're done, and your freezer is filled. I like how the machine "grabs" the bag, then you chose vacuum or seal and then when it is done it spits it out at you, not really, it just releases the bag and viola, easy peasy. It is a real workhorse, and I cannot wait for deer season this year to really put it through its paces.

This is my 3rd food savor but each one has been a different model. This one has some great features and it's alot easier. It's nice to have when you have leftovers or want to store food for alot longet time. Highly recommend!
