Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oliso FF-500 Frisper Freshkeeper Vacuum Sealer with Reusable Bags
Customer Review: Great product, once you learn how to use it
Summary: 4 Stars
You'd really hope that a product like this would "just work." It seemed simple enough to start - line up the circles, close and let go. Yet in my first 10 attempts I only got it to work maybe 3 times. I was getting pretty annoyed by this point, so I talked with their support and found out all the things I was doing wrong. Basically to get it to work correctly I needed to put the bag smooth-side up, horizontally-oriented (I tried the corner circle a few times by putting the bag in diagonally - which apparently didn't cover a hole that it needs to to trigger the vacuum), watch for wrinkles near the air hole that might impede the suction (if there are some, pull them straight).
Now that I know what I'm doing I'm actually pretty happy with it! It's very compact, the ziploc-style bags are heavy-duty and reusable, and the vacuum seals are holding well. Overall, I'm giving it four stars because although it really is a great product, there are too many opportunities for users to make mistakes.
Customer Review: Great for stretching life of food as long as possible
Summary: 4 Stars
Saw the frisper at a Linen's N Things and was intrigued so purchased one here on Amazon, and have been using it happily a few weeks ago. The bags are pretty costly, but I try to be choiceful about what I'm sealing in it. Use it mostly for meats, cheeses, and lunch meats (the kind you get at costco in gigantic packaging). It also works really well on salami and semi-precious-ish veggies like asparagus, or Californian's beloved avocadoes.
The machine itself is pretty nice looking and simple to use. I'm a sucker for nice graphic design as well, and love the easy to follow instructions. I've only had about 4-5 times where it didn't work properly, but they have a very responsive customer service team that walked me through fixing it over the phone.
Overall this is such a treat to have and its so nice to have my bulk items in neatly packaged items (just like when you buy them from the store).
Customer Review: Love the Frisper

Got this as a gift and it works great! No more freezer burn. Of the 20 or so times I used it, only once I found the air came out of it so I am sure it was because I did not seal it properly. The bags are really strong and can be reused. I am going to give this as a gift to someone else because it works so great!Customer Review: not bad
Summary: 4 Stars
works pretty well...didnt work one time because i probably had too many things in the bag. it seemed a little strange that the instructions dont mention plugging it in first. it might seem obvious, but in case some people think it runs on only batteries or something. overall, its kinda loud, but works well.Customer Review: Love It!
Summary: 4 Stars
I read the previous reviews after I bought this and was concerned I might have similar problems, but quite the contrary. I've found that if you follow the instructions, the Frisper works great!
I highly recommend it.
