Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of FoodSaver Vac 800 Vacuum-Sealing Kit, WhiteCustomer Review: Saving me money in groceries Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Tilia Foodsaver 800 from the infomercial a few months ago with a lot of skepticism as to its performance and was ready to send it back for a refund if it turned out to be a piece of junk. Well, let me tell you, this thing is unbelievable!! I absolutely love it and tell everyone how pleased I am with it. I've been able to keep cut up lettuce fresh for about a week, with out ever getting brown or soggy in the foodsaver canisters. Onion halfs which would usually stink up the fridge can stay for weeks in beautiful condition in the bags. Strawberries and even raspberries, which normally go bad in the matter of 3 days, are edible for longer. I used to throw out so much food, like cheese, fish, & produce - it was really a sin...now its all staying fresh. Even my husband, who never has anything good to say, says that the Foodsaver was really worth the money. Now Tilia is offering new produce saving canisters, so you don't have to blanch your vegetables before you vacum seal them. They go straight from the shopping bag into the canisters. That will be my next purchase. Also the cutting blade is such a great feature because it perfectly cuts the bags straight; you don't have to looking for scissors and end up cutting the bags all uneven. Another thing, make room for this appliance on your counter or a shelf that way you'll use it and it won't end up collecting dust somewhere. Its just really a great product.
Description of FoodSaver Vac 800 Vacuum-Sealing Kit, WhiteKeep your food fresh 3-5 times longer, prevent freezer burn and save both time and money as you waste less food! Just how does it work? Well, a powerful piston pump removes the air from the patented storage bags and custom containers, then seals them tight. FoodSaver bags have 3 layers of material and special channels so that all the air is suctioned out and can't get trapped in pockets. The bag's outer layer of nylon keeps air from re-entering and spoiling your food. This machine is easy to use and you're certain to find it is a great way to maximize your food's freshness as well as helping your prepare meals ahead, pack for trips and so on. Even first-time users will quickly get the hang of this nifty device. By vacuuming air out of food storage bags, the food inside stays fresher longer--years longer, in many cases. After food is placed in a bag, the edge is laid along the Teflon coated sealing strip and the lid closed. Two hands are required to press down on the top. A choice of two seal times, long and short, ensure that the FoodSaver?s nylon piston pump vacuums out as much air as desired: longer for wet foods, such as meats, and shorter for dry foods, such as pasta. The machine then creates a wide, tight seal. FoodSaver?s patented dual-layer bags, made of UV-protective and FDA-approved materials, can be frozen (and prevent freezer burn on foods), microwaved, and boiled. The kit includes three quart-size and two gallon-size bags, along with an 11-inch-by-10-foot roll that can be cut with the built-in cutter to customized lengths and sealed with the Seal Only setting. An accessory port allows the included 30-inch hose to be attached in order to vacuum seal homemade foods in jars, cans, and bottles, or in the kit?s round, 3/4-quart canister. A how-to video takes away all the guesswork. White with gray trim, the FoodSaver Vac 800 measures 15 by 9-1/2 by 4 inches. --Ann Bieri
