I am currently using a V3240 which I have had for 8 years. Recently it has begun to not seal some of my bags as tightly as it used to. Is it starting to wear out? How long can I expect it to last?

should food be frozen before sealing with food saver?

</div>
<div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: RHPInc</div>
<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="6890827">
Hello RHPInc, We recommend you pre-freeze meats and other moist foods for 1-2 hours before vacuum sealing. Excess liquids from moist foods can cause the unit not to vacuum, and permanent damage can occur. Thank you! FoodSaver&reg; Consumer Care
