FFS005

Brilliant, easy to use and a great space saver on the freezer

One of the best vacuum sealers available!

I've toyed with the idea of buying a vacuum sealer for a number of years but finally decided to take the plunge with the Foodsaver FFS005. On inspection there was a missing component but that didn't affect the primary function. I am pleased to say that my expectations have been exceeded. It has been very easy to use and has performed efficiently. I now am able to take advantage of cut-price supermarket offers as I am able to freeze and then vacuum seal. The biggest surprise was with the leftovers. Instead of having to eat the same food for a few days, being able to vacuum seal and store the leftovers for a later date has made cooking more adventurous. Also, cheese can be kept for a much longer period without having to worry about waste. Overall, I would happily recommend the Foodsaver FFS005 to anyone considering vacuum sealing for the first time. It is simple to use, easy to store and has a useful range of accessories, particularly the leftover containers.

I had been toying with the idea of getting one of these for a long time and I am glad that I did. Now and again I feel the call of the kitchen and make batches of curries, pasta creations, cottage pie (veggie),miso soup, etc. I always did freeze things as I have grandiose ideas of portion control and tend to accidentally cater for about 10 people, rather than the two of us. Anyhow, it is a doddle to use and has controls for how much vacuum (so it does not crush delicate foods), sealing, and a button that allows it to suck the air out and seal, all on its own. There is a small reservoir that prevents liquid being sucked into its “working bits”. There certainly are much cheaper sealers, but we were working on the principle that you buy a Rolls Royce far less often than a Lada. Three months in, it is performing perfectly. HOWEVER mine came with a round Food Saver container, which seemed an excellent idea for gallons of soup or whatever,,,,,, beware of these containers!!! The one that came with it had lost its vacuum after 10 minutes. I bought three others as I liked the idea and assumed that the original container was just a rogue one; they all had exactly the same problem. There is absolutely no point in producing vacuum containers that won’t retain a vacuum. I did complain, but was told that nobody else had complained about the containers, but when I looked at the reviews, practically everybody had the same problem! So the machine is excellent, the “vacuum containers” are not fit for purpose. Mine will probably finish up as very expensive flower pots.

I've been using the Foodsaver FFS005 Food Vacuum Sealer for over a year now, and it has significantly changed how I store and preserve food. Here’s a detailed review based on my experience: **Design and Build Quality:** The Foodsaver FFS005 is well-built with a sleek, modern design that fits well in my kitchen. The integrated roll storage and bag cutter are incredibly convenient features that make it easy to create custom-sized bags quickly. The overall build quality is sturdy, and it feels durable enough to handle regular use without any issues. **Ease of Use:** One of the standout features of the FFS005 is its user-friendly design. The control panel is intuitive, with clearly labeled buttons for various functions like vacuum sealing and sealing only. The delicate food mode is particularly useful for sealing softer or more delicate items without crushing them. The automatic bag detection and sealing process work flawlessly, making the whole vacuum sealing process efficient and straightforward. **Performance:** In terms of performance, the Foodsaver FFS005 excels. It creates a strong, airtight seal every time, which is crucial for preserving food freshness. I've used it for sealing meats, vegetables, leftovers, and even liquids (using the included liquid block bags), and it has consistently delivered excellent results. The vacuum suction is powerful enough to remove all air from the bags, ensuring that food stays fresh for longer periods in the freezer or pantry. **Versatility:** This model comes with a variety of vacuum sealer bags in different sizes, which is convenient for different types of foods and portion sizes. The ability to use both pre-cut bags and custom-sized bags from the integrated roll storage adds to its versatility. I've also used it to vacuum seal marinated meats and prevent freezer burn effectively. **Maintenance:** Maintaining the FFS005 is straightforward. The drip tray is removable and easy to clean, and occasional wiping down of the vacuum chamber ensures optimal performance. The machine also has a built-in bag storage compartment to keep everything tidy, although it's a bit small if you use it frequently. **Longevity:** After a year of regular use, I haven’t encountered any significant issues with the Foodsaver FFS005. The seals remain strong and reliable, and the machine operates as smoothly as it did when I first got it. It seems built to last, which is reassuring given its price point. **Overall Impressions:** Overall, the Foodsaver FFS005 Food Vacuum Sealer has been a worthwhile investment for my kitchen. It has saved me money by reducing food waste and allowed me to buy food in bulk without worrying about spoilage. The combination of solid performance, user-friendly design, and durability makes it one of the best vacuum sealers in its class. Whether you’re a meal prepper, home chef, or simply looking to extend the shelf life of your groceries, this machine delivers on its promises. If you're considering a vacuum sealer that combines ease of use with reliable performance and durability, the Foodsaver FFS005 is definitely worth considering.

bought this Foodsaver Food Vacuum Sealer Machine as a Christmas present for my husband, and unfortunately it was a big disappointment. When we tried to use it to prepare our Christmas lunch, the vacuum function didn’t work at all. For a product at this price point, especially from a well-known brand, I expected it to work straight out of the box. Very frustrating, particularly as it let us down at the exact moment we needed it. Sadly, not the experience I was hoping for.

Works perfectly, high quality sealing, and full of features. Have used it to seal everything from frozen fish to storing dry rice.

Very good item. A little bigger than what I expected but works very well.

La macchina ha delle misure 44x24x11 cm. Possiede sotto, un pratico spazio per avvolgere il cavo, anche se quest ultimo l avrei preferito più lungo. A destra si trova una levetta con 3 posizioni. 1 posizione verso di se, per aprire lo sportello, 2 posizione per riporre via la macchina quando non è in uso è il 3 verso l'alto per accendere la macchina e tenere chiuso lo sportello. Sopra si trovano diversi tasti fisici. Il primo a sx serve per regolare la potenza di aspirazione, variabile su 3 livelli. Il secondo è da usare con il suo recipiente per mettere sotto vuoto biscotti, farine ecc ecc. Il 3 tasto per selezionare se l'alimento ha tanti liquidi o no. Il quarto è un tasto per vuoto ad impulsi, si può utilizzare per mettere sottovuoto un prodotto facendo il vuoto a nostro piacimento. Il quinto serve per sigillare il sacchetto. L ultimo serve per mettere sottovuoto in automatico, alla potenza selezionata con il 1 tasto e dopo sigilla il sacchetto. Una curiosità, la macchina si accende solo quando la levetta si trova nella posizione 3, dove sul pittogramma c'è la macchina con il sacchetto. Nelle altre 2 posizioni la macchina rimane spenta. All interno della macchina si trova il rotolo del sottovuoto e la comoda taglierina per tagliare i sacchetti a misura. Il di solito srotolo il foglio appena fuori dalla macchina e lo sigillo, poi lo taglio alla lunghezza che mi occorre e lo taglio. Dopo aver inserto l alimento, va messo con la goffratura verso l alto e con i lembi del sacchetto piegati leggermente nella vaschettina di raccolta liquidi amovibile. A questo punto si è pronti a mettere sottovuoto e a sigillare il sacchetto. Vi consiglio inoltre di scrivere la data e l alimento sul sacchetto se avete intenzione di mettere in freezer. Spero di aver detto tutto, posso consigliarla, è pratica, ben fatta e robusta. La uso per la cottura CBT in casa e ci troviamo bene. Grazie per aver letto la mia onesta recensione. 😉

Geweldig apparaat ziet erg goed en mooi uit en nog belangrijker het werkt uitstekend. Nog maar net in gebruikt dus over de duurzaamheid kunnen we nog niets schrijven. Heel fijn dat er een knop opzit waarmee je manueel kan vacumeren en dat werkt heel goed. We hebben twee croissants op de manuele stand gevacumeerd en ook vier harde broodjes. De laatste was het eerste probeersel en daar waren we nog iets te voorzichtig mee. De machine heeft drie automatische standen die we nog moeten gebruiken. Het seslen gaat werkelijk fantastisch een mooie seal over de hele lengte die volledig dicht is. Met deze machine is ook een beker meegeleverd en rollen en vacuum zakken. Iets groter dan onze vorige machine en ook wat meer lawaai maar het resultaat zorgt ervoor dat we dit er maar voor lief bijnemen. En wat zeker het vermelden waard is de machine sluit heel makkelijk! Bij mijn vorige aankoop moest mijn man het apparaat sluiten want mj lukte het niet. Deze machine heb ik o die reden terug gestuurd. Bij de Foodsaver gebruik je de handel aan de rechterkant. Hiermee wordt het apparaat gesloten om rechtop te plaatsen en bij de volgende stap wordt het deksel gesloten en vergrendeld en de spanning ingeschakeld. Dit gaat super makkelijk! Totaal geen spijt van deze aankoop wel iets duurder maar op alle fronten het geld meer dan waard.
