I purchased a food saver eal a Meal in August of this year for $47 from Walmart. Love it and saves space in my small freezer . Used it the other day and then it stopped working. I only used it for 3 packages of meat. I let it cool and tried again and didn't work. In process of sending it back and will get a refund. I have been researching vacuum food sealers and the reviews are very mixed. Trying not to spend a whole lot. Any suggestions? Thank you.

@SouthernBee I have used the Food Saver since they first came out. I think I'm on my second one. Since I live alone it's perfect to divide the packages of meat I buy at the store. Everything seems to come packaged with 2 or 3 per package. I divide them up into single serve.

I also have used the Food Saver since they first came out. The one I am using now is about 10 years old and going strong. I would not be without one and would stick with the Food Saver.

We're on our 2nd Food Saver brand. We use it every day. It's a life saver. Never tried another brand. When it dies, we'll quickly replace it.

I don't use mine as much as I should, but I do love it. I am also on my 2nd one. The first one I had came in two pieces and I continued to use the handheld vacuum part after I upragded to a newer machine. I couldn't really advise on which model is better.
I like mine because it is upright and can sit on a narrow shelf my husband installed underneath the bump-out for a bar-top that we never used in that manner so don't need the space for stools. There happens to be a plug there, so I can just go over there to do smaller things, but for larger items I can move it to the counter. It has a sensor inside to detect when the bag is inserted all the way and starts automatically. The one downside of that is that you can't double seal without tricking the sensors.

@Icegoddess : Thank you for taking the time to respond. I will do more research. I still have 4 rolls of the bags.

I have always purchased FoodSavers. My current one has to be at least 10 years old. Love it!
