Product Details

Description
The FoodSaver FM5200 automatic vacuum sealer system makes it easier than ever to keep food fresh up to 5x longer compared to ordinary storage methods. It reduces bag-making steps by 50%, taking the time and guesswork out of bag making and sealing, along With reducing over 30% of roll waste when compared to previous FoodSaver food preservation systems. Plus, the system provides 2-in-1 versatility for freezer, fridge, and pantry storage. Handheld sealer seals FoodSaver zipper bags, canisters, and containers, and marinates food in minutes.
Features
  • Save more, waste less: Meat preserved with the foodsaver system in the freezer can last up to 3 years and still taste fresh, flavorful, and freezer-burn free. Prep-ahead meals, leftovers, and produce stored in the fridge will stay fresh up to weeks later instead of spoiling in days
  • Express bag maker: The express bag maker reduces bag making steps by 50% compared to FoodSaver V4000 models, thanks to a unique second heat-sealing bar to automatically prep the next bag
  • More convenient to use: Easy view vacuum window lets you easily control where you seal while the open roll storage design lets you see when you need to replace the roll. Plus, led light indicators easily guide you through the vacuum sealing process. Just press the vacuum and seal bar to remove the air that causes freezer burn and spoilage
  • Very consistent sealing: Equipped with dual heat sealing strips, it's to reach an optimal vacuum level and airtight seal. The FM5200 is durable, high quality, and backed by a 5-year limited warranty
  • Automatic moisture detection: Smart technology automatically detects moisture and switches to the correct mode to ensure an airtight seal is achieved. The patented removable drip tray will catch any overflow liquid and is dishwasher safe, making this kitchen appliance easy to clean and maintain

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product! I purchased this a few weeks ago to replace a worn out Kenmore that no longer sealed. The FoodSaver FM5000 is by far the best food sealer I’ve used! It is simple to operate and does a fantastic job vacuum sealing meats and liquids. The retractable is engineering genius! No more trying to find the adaptor! This model also has a PulseVac mode that allows you to select exactly how much air to remove from the bag (used for delicates like pastries etc.) Although this unit is taller than my old sealer, the footprint is 1/2 the size freeing up more counter space. All in all, this is the perfect sealer for my needs!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from I’ve had Foodsaver products since the beginning, but, I decided to upgrade this model and I will soon donate it to a thrift store because I hate it. I find it difficult to use, waste more roll than I ever have before, and the air suction built in attachment takes for forever to seal a canister. Bring back my old machine.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from I Like it but has design flaw FoodSaver should fix Bought this to replace an old 4440 series FoodSaver that served me well for years. I do like the idea of cutting a step out of the process by heat sealing the edge of the next bag while the current bag is vacuum sealing. Having the bag dispense flat at the bottom of the machine is also nice in that it is easier to measure the size of the bag. Plus, all of the features I have tested, work well. So far, so good. There is one glaring design flaw. The issue is the bag has to be held up in the air in order to start the sealing process. That would have been okay under the older models that start the sealing process automatically when the edge of the package is inserted into the machine. However, this model requires the user to push both sides of a lever while holding the item at the same time. Not sure how many hands other folks have, but I only have two. The two hands I do have are pretty decent size so I can sort of hold the edges of the packet and poke the lever on each side at the same time. Not overly difficult with an eleven-inch-wide bag, but a real pain with the smaller eight-inch width. I also found I had to put some decent pressure on the lever which made the unit scoot back, so I had to make certain it had something behind it to keep it from moving. It is also necessary to hold the bag level in order to stop the contents from sliding to the bottom. Not a problem with say, a steak, but not so cool with anything you want to keep sort of flat and separated in the bag. (I freeze peppers, for example.) I considered sending this back and switching it out for the 4800 series, but it dawned on me it is not that hard of a fix. I just built a platform that nestles against the front of the machine so I can lay the bag on it and push the lever with my now free hands. [11 inches by 11 inches by 3 1/2 inches tall with a one-inch overhang at one end so it fits against the machine. The ugly paint left over from hobby project is optional.] That also solved the problems of holding the bag up (no need to hold it at all) and keeping it level. I included a couple of photos showing what I am talking about. Don’t be alarmed by that. There is no need to go through all that trouble. Any platform that is around 3 1/2 inches tall will do the trick. (Turned over pan or box top maybe?) I am surprised FoodSaver did not address this issue, since it had to jump out during testing. Bottom line is FoodSaver should have caught this during the design phase. It can be fixed by simply adding a platform to the product, either as a stand-alone accessory or something that attaches to the machine that can be lowered into place when needed. Fix that flaw and I would give this unit Five Stars.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Two Lemons in a row, But! bought the 5200 series on 6 May 2020 and love how it worked, as I did my first smaller model two-three years ago. Like my first one the on/off button switch failed and simply would not turn it on after two or three years of use. Here we go again with the same on off issue but this time after only six months on the 5200.. .......... lousy on/off switches. Come on product design fix it! They, Foodsaver, are great though for a new one is on its way sometime as soon as they confirm I've sent it back at no cost to me. I'm getting tired of lemeons!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Worst I purchased this from ULINE early December , I have used it a few times and am returning it: I consider it the worst at user friendly I have ever seen along with it is so sensitive on how the bags are placed to even vacuum it and to seal it half the time the air is not even all the way out & it seals;

Rated 5 out of 5 by from FM5400 Great food sealing system This was an upgrade from a basic food sealer for us. This one is really handy for measuring and making bags, as well as using the accessories. It’s super convenient to have the bag roll inside the machine and to be able to cut and seal them so easily and quickly. It helps reduce waste from cutting bags too big or small. I also like that you can manually adjust the vacuum to store softer items like breads, soft fruits, etc. I have used the jar sealer with this machine and I am loving it for storing jerky or other dehydrated foods in jars. I hope to use the bottle stopper/sealer soon. Overall, I am very pleased with this machine.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Is this model fautly? I used my new fv-5000 series for the first time.. After being extremely satisfied with my very old basic foodsaver.. As a gift I received the fv-5000.. I bought a full loin of porterhouse..17 individual steaks. Also a fuyy loin of rib chops.. Total over 300 dollars of meat.. I followed instructions exact.. All were sealed tightly... After a couple days in the freezer... I had 6 steaks withthe seal failed putting the whole steak with frost/freezer in the bag on the meat and air in the bag.. I alao had 8 chops do the same exact same thing.. I think the new unit is not sealing properely and is Not getting all the air out... Not happy at all.. Please Advise..

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Used to be your best fan, but not anymore!! I've had Food savers since they 1st came out almost 3 decades ago. The quality of your machines have been in a steady decline for the past 5 years. I got the FM 5480 and I agree about the huge design flaw about holding the bag up while trying to press in the lever from both sides. I had to become quite the contortionist. But now I need to replace the heating ribbon (which I've never had to do before) and I'm pretty sure you're going to telll me that the replacement heating element is no longer available.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Hate it!! I had an older model and loved it, so when it was time I upgraded to this one FM5000 model and this thing is awful. It takes forever to get it to vacuum and usually it doesn’t. I read the instructions over and over thinking I’m missing something and still it won’t seal, sometimes I get lucky and it seals but for the most part I try for 30 minutes and give up. I would not recommend this machine, at this point it’s basically useless . Wish I’d stayed with the less expensive one that actually worked

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Don't buy a 5200 I had a 5000 series for years and loved it - recently bought a FoodSaver FM5200 Series 2-in-1 Vacuum Sealing System and it sucks. Or basically it doesn't suck worth a flip. You have to squeeze the air out of the bag manually while it's vacuum sealing to ever get it to actually get all of the air out. And half the time you have to cancel and start over 2 or 3 times before you ever get a seal. But then there is always that 1 out of 10 times that you start it and it works like it's supposed to. I hate the 5200 - but I can't afford to buy another one right now so I'm stuck with it.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from poor design, bad quality control OK, I decided to upgrade to this model from all the reviews. first of all the design of this is terrible for wet foods. some of the juices go into the gray juice tray but many drip down the edge and down into all of the crevices and cutter parts that are positioned BELOW the sealer. this is gross enough for cooked meats, but completely sceevey during raw meats. your idea for a separate bag cutter / sealer should have been positioned above to deal with the basic physics of liquids and gravity. this design is unsanitary as no option for disassembly or submersion of the entire unit would be acceptable. next the door, again many crevices and parts for liquids and bacteria to grow inside of with no option of removing or disassembling to sanitize. My machine is seriously disgusting me to use now. over time it has gotten nasty looking. on to the main sealer. after less than a month there seams to be a 1/4 inch section that stopped sealing just right of center. I need to vac/seal it twice with a shift to the left each time to get it to work. this is using the official food saver bags. on a hunch I used some off brand bags with same textured back side and the problem is less but still present. the bag cutter sealer seals across the entire surface just fine and clean, Id suggest a better or even a double strip main sealer to ensure proper operation before wasting resources on a convenience feature. finally the cutter, after about 15-20 uses the cutter no longer works from right to left. it will only cut from left to right. so I must be conscience to always reset it before I pull more plastic out or I am forced to search for some scissors.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Vaccuum doesn't work for me correctly. I've owned this machine for a while. When I hit the lever I'm never sure if the vaccuum is going to work properly on the bags. Maybe I got a lemon? The containers work just fine but the bags I can never figure out what the problem is. I see all these good reviews so maybe it's the machine or me but there is a problem. I'm not a happy camper.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Covers all my vacuum sealing needs I love how easy to use this machine is. It's quick and easy to make your own bags using the rolls so they are just the right size. No more freezer burn! I have also used the marinade container and it was again easy to use and the results were great.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Disappointing I made a bad decision to replace my reliable old Foodsaver for a new one with tempting features. This new one suctions air and seals when it feels like working and one has no choice but to sealing over an inch of wasted bag to make the seal. I thought it would save time to have a roll stored at the back of the unit and have the ability just choose the size and cut. That is the only feature that works. Disappointing waste of hard earned money.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Horrible product My friend bought me this machine because I was wrapping my meat with paper. After 8 months it has completely quit vacuuming any air at all. It's so loud and vibrates so violently it "walks" across my countertop. The cutter for the bag rolls is already loose and catching bags instead of cutting them. I only use it once a month for meat and I store it in a clean and dry area. This is a terrible product for being so very expensive.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Piece of Junk! Don't Customer Service is replacing Bought the FM 5480 in July 2018 and used it less than once a month. The heating element quit working and it won't seal the bags anymore after less than 18 uses. My last unit lasted almost 7 years so the quality of the units has gone downhill. I contacted customer service via email twice and never received an answer about warranty on the product so I called the 877 number and waited on hold for 25 minutes. Once I reached a live person they were very helpful and sent me a return label and said they would replace the unit

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love (loved) my machine I have had this machine foe quite a few years and I do love it. It took me a while to learn how to really use it but I finally did. I have put deer and wild hog in the freezer every year for many years. The machine worked perfectly. Changed the seals out (twice)- I think. No other flaws till now. I have lost too much vacuum power. The first vacuum is usually great but it lessens from there. Do we have anyone that services these units or where can I get parts? If I must I will purchase another just like this one but I would rather repair... Thank you for a wonderful machine & keep the good stuff coming...

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Food Saver Ill get right to the point. It is a very good sealer. But i feel like the reusable vacuum sealer bags seal better than the precut or other bags/rolls. So I'd recommend also buying the resealable vacuum bags that you see with the detachable sealer.
Date published: 2021-01-10
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Terrible and difficult to use. Got this machine last week. Have used it twice. This machine is very difficult to use. You have to hold the bag and push the vacuum and seal bar. It does a great job vacuuming and the seal is terrific if you can hold the bag and push the bar with both hands. Most awkward machine to use. Replaced my V4980 which was a superior machine. Could not replace the gasket. It was old and would not vacuum sometimes and I had to seal at least twice. If I had to do it over again I would go with the 4440 or 4800. The only reason I got this one is the representative recommended this machine. Bad recommendation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Save food like a pro I love all (2) my vacuum sealers and use them more than my toaster, I love the bogos in bags because I seal a lot of bbq for friends and family. They love the fact they can microwave or just drop the frozen products in hot water and they’re done in 15-30 minutes and it taste like it just came off the grill. Absolutely the best machines on the market

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Very Disappointed I bought this machine a couple months ago and have only sealed 10 bags with it. I got it out today to seal some hamburger. I made 12 bags and when I went to seal my 1st bag it started to vacuum and 4 seconds later the vacuum shut off and it started to seal. It had not taken any air out of it before it started to seal. i tried all the solutions you gave and still nothing works. This is the 2nd unit that I have had. and the 1st one did the same thing. I just thought the first 1 had been overly used but this one has only sealed 10 bags.
Date published: 2023-01-19
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Love the machine, except the accessory burns out This is the 2nd machine now that the accessory has burnt up. I like the zip lock bags. However, I started to notice that when I would use the accessory to vacuum it would still have air in it, and within a day would look like a normal zip lock storage bag. I just bought a new set of bags 2 days ago. Went to the grocery store last night bought some items and started to portion things, went to seal a bag and nothing. I can still do normal bags with no problems, but to use that handy little accessory is a no go for this guy!
Date published: 2020-04-22
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Tired of buying these Is it just me or the these stop working after sealing about 25 times? I am on my fourth machine and have been able to seal about 20 packages. I thought it was just a fluke, but these machines consistently have stopped working. I have never bother to sign up for the warranty, and only seal in batches about every three months. I haven’t even run out of the packages that came with the machine.
Date published: 2020-03-30
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Too difficult to use I bought one and got it to work once. Just once. I do not have the instructions and your site does not have a User Manual download. Not very supportive... Controls are not intuitive. I tried sealing a ribeye and got nowhere in 15min of effort. Keeps popping the GFI breaker. I wound up.using a Hefty zip-lock bag, from which I removed almost all the air using a straw. So much for vacuum sealing. Sealers are supposed to make our lives easier. This made me frustrated and failed to seal a small steak.
Date published: 2020-03-13
Rated 2 out of 5 by from One major flaw I replaced the Food Saver that I had had for nearly 10 years with the FM5000, and it was a mistake. For some reason the manufacturer decided to put the sucking operation above table height which makes it seriously difficult to create the vacuum bag. I recommend you buy the lesser model that is flat with the table. This one is a real pain.
Date published: 2020-11-21
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not a fan of this one Half the time the bags don’t won’t to seal, this model is not easy to use as it it’s hard to hold the bag and try to push the button to seal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely Love this product!!!!!! We are a family of 6 at home including 4 kids, we do a lot of bulk shopping to save money. But even with the bulk buying some of it goes to waste sooner then I would like; leaving us no choice but to through away money pretty much. I bought this about a week ago and I have found my new best friend. I absolutely love this product I don't know why I didn't buy it any sooner. It is super easy to use, very clean and it doesn't take up a lot of counter space in my kitchen. I've done some product research since I purchased it and have watched all the useful videos available. I have to say I love it so much I about seal mostly everything I can. I definitely recommend this investment it is a must have in a kitchen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the Features I had bought this a couple months ago and just love the machine. I have used it for freezing apples, applesauce, meats. It helps me with saving money on family or bulk items that I purchase. Love how the pulse works. I had a small food saver and used it all the time and wanted to upgrade. So I found this machine and was very happy I upgraded.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not Worth the cost Bought this to replace a five year old food saver sealer. Worst decision in a long time. Should have kept the old one. Difficult to use. Over half attempts will not pull a vacuum. Retry several times and if I'm lucky it will work. Have followed all instructions from customer service and continues to work intermittently.

There are two stages of VACUUM, first stage closes the lid and clamps the bag. If you pressed SEAL that VACUUM should stop and the heat seal should engage. There will be a little bit of vacuum sucking the air out of the bag while the clamping takes place, but not much. If you did not press SEAL, then the vacuum will continue until all air is removed from the bag. <div class="bvseo-author">Answered by: MAB007</div> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2024-04-18</div> </div> </div> <div class="bvseo-question-answer" data-questionid="4802004"> <h2 class="bvseo-question"> Does the FM5000 work if there is liquid in the bag? </h2> <div class="bvseo-question-detail"> </div> <div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: pamckin</div> <div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="5524787"> They recommend pre-freezing liquids before vacuum sealing. <div class="bvseo-author">Answered by: zysmith</div> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2024-04-18</div> </div> </div> <div class="bvseo-question-answer" data-questionid="4847636"> <h2 class="bvseo-question"> What is the vacuum strength in inches of mercury (in.
