Rated 2 out of 5 by SRC32 from Doesn't last First of all, we have been confirmed fans of the foodsaver for many years and the way it preserves food. HOWEVER the quality of workmanship seems to have plummeted. We had to buy this one to replace our previous one because the accessory hose cracked and Foodsaver refused to repair/replace it. So now this one, which is only a little over a year old, is now malfunctioning. The accessory hose has deteriorated so that it will not vacuum sufficiently, and the cutter has ceased to work properly, dragging the bag along, rather than cutting it, necessitating having to remove the roll and cut the bag manually. Replacing two machines in two years is unacceptable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AirForceFamily from Countertop Centerpiece We recently started doing Once A Month Cooking with two other military families to help with food cost and prep time for meals. The 5860 model is my first FoodSaver and I couldn't be happier with it! When we're preparing over 20 meals for each family, the FoodSaver works great for making custom sized bags that we know will protect our investment in the freezer. The dispense, rewind, and cut feature makes for a very simple process that takes only seconds to work. Because of the great looking stainless steel design we actually leave it out on the kitchen counter all of the time and find ways of using it almost daily. It's become our countertop centerpiece!

Rated 4 out of 5 by NSL14 from Too much wasted plastic. This would have gotten a 5 star review, but when making bags from rolls, the amount of bag to activate the sealer to vacuum/seal above the seal is significantly too much and therefore it's wasteful of plastic. The saving grace is its ability to use the fairly new vacuum zipper bags which save lots of roll use. Without the ability to use the vacuum zipper bags this would get a 2 star review and I would have sent it back. To the Foodsaver folks, you need to update this unit and maybe allow existing units to be updated to not require as much bag above the seal to activate the unit to vacuum/seal. In this time in our history we need to reduce plastic use.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Steve_P from FoodSaver quality has slipped over the years I've owned FoodSaver sealers for decades. I started out with a very basic sealer, which lasted for many years. I was very happy. At some point, I decided to upgrade to their top of the line 5800 series sealer, and my experience has gone downhill from then. Multiple failures -- even two bad sealers brand new out of the box (that were warranty replacements). I'm done with them now and have listed my most recent warranty replacement for sale and am switching to a commercial chamber sealer (I won't name the brand, because FoodSaver tends to not publish negative reviews, and I don't want to give them any specific reason to not publish this).

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rossinhawaii from Vacuum packing as it should be! I've had a Foodsaver for many years and recently decided to upgrade to the one that dispenses bags. What a great idea! Most often I load what I'm trying to seal in the bag as it's being dispensed. When it gets to the correct length, a touch of the "cut and seal" button makes short work of the dispensing and sealing chore. The auto vacuum and sealing function is startling at first but once you get used to it you'll find it's a grat feature. The handheld sealer offers a marinate feature that automatically pressurizes and depressurizes which is a great way to do it. I can't find a single thing I don't like about this machine.

Rated 1 out of 5 by UnhappyBobby from Works well...when it works I have used the foodsaver products for many years. When they work, they work quite well. The problem is, just that, the machines are not reliable. I purchased the 5860 one month ago. I am now on my third one. It appears that the heat sensor in the unit malfunctions. When you turn it on the power light turns on, but nothing works, even if you wait 24 hours, unplug it, replug it, check the bags, the drawer, and try again it, the vacuum, seal buttons do not work. Obviously this is a problem with which they are well aware but have been unable to fix. My level of satisfaction after spending $400.00 is zero.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Hopeful from Seals Bags...Just Doesn't Vacuum ALL The Air Out. Ordered on January 13, 2017, took what seemed like forever to receive. Thought it was "Top of the Line," as it was the most expensive. I was wrong, the ONLY thing so far that it does is seal the bags. Ordered the canning jar (wide and regular mouth) attachments, but couldn't get them to work either...Works great with my neighbors unit. Ordered some canisters recently to try, hoping the cost of this unit, along with the bags and attachments can be salvaged, recouped whatever. Have spent way too much money for something that doesn't work properly and I'm just too old to fight about the matter.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Make sure you confirm bef from Bat as described There is a good side/bad side to this review First the good- quieter than first system I owned. Not sure the automatic feature all that great (seems a little waste on bags) but not a deal breaker. I use all features day to day Now the bad that pushed me to send back. Did not have pulse feature as described when I bought. When I attempted to discuss this with customer service that really sucks that was strike 1. And attitude well just lets say is reason I sent system back,strike 2. Still waiting for refund. We will see. For some reason I don't have faith it will occur and I will be aggravated once more (strike 3 and out!)

If your hand held sealer is not retracting, place a FoodSaver&reg; unit on the edge of your counter or similar surface.
Then, with the hose hanging over the edge, pull with light but abrupt force downwards to dislodge the spring.
While pulling, release tension fully without letting go of the tip of the accessory hose.
Repeat step 2 as many times until the hose goes back in.

We are very sorry to hear about the problem with your unit and we apologize for the inconvenience!

When it comes to your FoodSaver not sealing, please find below a few tips that may help you with the aforementioned issue:

1. For units with removable gaskets, remove the lower gasket, turn it over and re-insert it into the track that runs around the vacuum channel. Also, check the other gasket.&nbsp;

2. It may be necessary to pre-freeze moist/soft food items to prevent moisture from compromising an effective vacuum/seal. These items include meats, fish, poultry, soft fruits, and blanched vegetables.&nbsp;

3. Test your FoodSaver by operating it without a bag. Allow the unit to complete the cycle. When the unit shuts off, lift the lid and gently touch the heat strip. If it is hot, please try to seal another bag.

Should this not work, a good replacement for your model would be, for instance, one of our FM2000 series or, if you wish to have an in-built handheld accessory, VS3000 series for instance.

Thanks for reaching out to us! I will be more than happy to answer your question!

You can vacuum seal liquids (such as soups for example), but you have to pre-freeze it first.

If you try to vacuum seal it in its liquid state then it may get into the machine and not only it will be hard to clean, but it may also cause a malfunction to the whole unit.
