Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of FoodSaver V2240 Advanced Design Vacuum Food Sealer
Customer Review: Great Product! Helps Prevent Freezer-Burn & Great Storage
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a Foodsaver sealer for years. It was the older model that needed a good suction to seal the end of the bag. The problem was that it became nearly impossible to create a complete suction to seal the end of the bag if it was on the roll. Individual pre-made bags that only needed one seal were never a problem. So when I saw this unit in a brick & mortar store, and saw that it had a "seal" setting that did not require suction, I had to have it. We buy most of our meats in bulk, and like to individually seal them for freezer storage. In reular freezer paper, we were still experiencing "freezer burn" where we never did with vacuum sealing. But then I read some of the reviews. It is "Load"; "it didn't seal well"; "it broke quickly." All of these gave me some pause. There were numerous ones that said it was very loud. Was I going to need hearing protection when using, or were my wife and I going to have to communicate by hand signals, or writing on cards? But all of the good reviews overshadowed to poor ones, and with Amazon's great return policy, we decided to order.
It is GREAT, and even better than our old one! Is it loud? Well, it is a vacuum pump, and you can definitely hear it. BUT, I can continue to carry on a conversation without screaming while it is being used. "Poor construction, and broke quickly." We have had our new one for over 6 months, using it on a very regular basis. Works GREAT! If there is one complaint, and this is a VERY minor inconvenience, would be that you can only seal a few packages before the sealing element has got to take a break to cool down. We never had this problem with our old unit (over 10 years old), but then again, it will just seal the open edge of a roll of bags without suction. This delay does slow us down a little (45-90 seconds at times depending on how many packages we have sealed in a row, usually 3-4 both edges of the bag), but it still works great. I would highly recommend this unit without hesitation if you do a significant amount of vacuum sealing of frozen foods to really inhance the amount of time you can freeze things without freezer burn!
