Thank you for making time to produce such a detailed video. I am no longer intimidated by my food sealer! GREAT attention to detail and ability to articulate! TY
Glad it helped :) If you haven't already, please like and subscribe so others can find my videos. Thanks!
Thank you for the video. The beginning is interesting when you say you don't know when you say you don't know why someone would want to save food longer. Some of us don't live in the city, so have stocked food in the freezer OR having wild game OR if you have a family and buy a side of beef or many other reasons might be why you want to keep your food fresh and stocked in abundance so you don't have to go to town.
I usually end up keeping the food so long I forget and it all goes to waste, but it's true it'll last longer if I thought to vacuum pacl them. Problem is I always think I'll eat the food I buy before it gets to that point.
Lol I've been using mine for sous vide and sealing anti static bags with computer parts. Haha
Agreed, Amy. They can be extremely USEFUL to many people.
Yup
I have never used a food saver before. It was given to me for Christmas. Your video was very clear, and I was able to use it easily after watching. Thank you for posting
Awesome, glad it helped! :)
Great job, thank you. I've had mine in the box for about a month and decided I would check out CZcams and your video gave me the basics to get started.
Glad it helped. I'm surprised that this is somehow my most popular video now. If you haven't already, please like and subscribe so others can find my videos. Thanks!
Thank you for the Tutorial! I got one of these for Christmas and will try to use it today. P.S I had one years ago and from what I remember, you can wash the bags and let them dry to re-use, so it's ok to cut it a little longer!
Glad it helped. Yeah, you can wash them. If you haven't already, please like and subscribe so others can find my videos. Thanks!
I wasn't sure about the little rubber piece that comes out to store the attachment but thx to your video, I now get it!
Glad it helped :)
It’s on sale again. Same price. This is not my favorite model but it’s cheap. Thank you for your video. 🙏
@@msmary3023 which model is your favorite?

Going to purchase one of these and your video helped me make up my mind. Thanks!
Awesome glad it helped!
I rewatched 19:45 so many times trying to figure out how to connect the hose on the handheld accessory. He makes it look so easy. With mine you had to give it a wiggle back and forth to get it to click.
Push it down harder lol
Thank you for sharing this information.
No problem. Glad to liked the video.
Very well demo , thank you 😊
Thanks
Great video it helps me how to understand how it works. The manual doesn’t explain very well. It’s my first machine.

I wrap my food in saran wrap before putting it in the bag. It's easier and doesnt hit the edges of the bags
Sounds good
There is a place to store the hand-held sealer. On the top left side, directly to the left of where it says “FoodSaver” is a square hole (I had to remove a rubber plug on mine) and you just slip the straight bar on the hand-held sealer into that hole. This is how/where you store it.
Sorry, I added my comment as soon as I heard you say there was no place to store it. I then saw, later in the video, you learned where it goes
Lol yup
Thank you , I thought my operate button was broken and did not want to break it. Just need to use a little force.
Glad you were able to figure it out.
Costco just had this sale again and I'm here cause I can't figure this thing out. I definitely got a box of Kirkland bags that were nicely displayed with the sealer LOL. I've always heard the bags are the expensive part.
Yup, the Costco bags work well. :)
There is a tiny black plug on the top left-hand side of the machine. Pull that out and that is where you store the handheld attachment.

Can you use the Kirkland Vacuum seal bags in this model FM2900. The only answer I get is use FoodSaver bags only . Such a deal on the Costco bags.
czcams.com/video/I7uLIgCUC4U/video.html :)
That video shows a comparison between the two.
I got mine when it was on sale last time like you. But my handheld vacuum sealer doesn’t fit into the port. 😭 The reason I found and watched your video was because I couldn’t get it in and wondered if I did it wrong. Well, the manual says to insert it until it clicks in place. It doesn’t “click in place” no matter how much force I use (and of course I don’t get any vacuum even if I try to hold it in place ). Could it be a defect?? 😢
Possibly. You can buy a new one at the current price and return the defective one. With the new receipt. I don't think it needs to click as long as it doesn't leak air.
I couldn't figure this one out either. I had to press down hard and it stayed put. Not sure there was a click.
Yup
Thanks. Try to work with a little brighter light in your next video. Appreciate the effort!
Thanks
very informative thk you for this video
Thanks!
does this food saver have a cord that wraps up so you can store it on the back side - up and down, vs flat when in use?
Nope, it's just loose
@@ItsBinhRepaired Bummer, I have an older model, about that size, and it has a place to wrap the cord and store it upright. My son wants one similar to that. Thanks for letting me know.
Sorry, I was mistaken. It has cord storage on the bottom that your wrap around 2 hooks.
Bought one on sale, and it's defective right out of the box. It vacuums, but never transitions to seal. The vacuum seems weak compared to our old one. It's going back to Costco.
Have to make sure the end is in the green area and the sides are pulled flat. Might be yours was defective, or the other end wasn't sealed properly.
I plugged it in. Put in operate mode and it does not turn on?
Green lights don't come on?
Very helpful. Thanks
Glad it helped :)

Machine sure makes a lot of noise. For some reason I can’t get mine to seal when I use the roll. Was hoping I didn’t have to read the directions and just watch your video! LOL! Thanks. You were a tremendous help because I just bought mine and was excited until I read that the plastic contains BPA. Oh well. That’s why I pray over my meals! 🙏 👍
Lol did you figure out that you have to seal one end first? XD
@@ItsBinhRepaired yes and that was no problem. The other end won’t seal. Thinking it may be the roll isn’t correct
Make sure it reaches the black metal slippery part
I’ve used a vacuum sealer for decades and learned you must make sure you have the edge of the bag extend past the sealing strip, in or over the green tray, this is the area where the suction is happening. If the edge of the bag does not extend past the strip then it can’t suction the air
@@jennifercarp807 I finally did it! Yes thank you for explaining this 👍
Great job!
Thanks
Hey man so would you recommend this sealer? Like you think it’s does the job and it is of good Quality?
It does a good job. The other options that pull a vacuum with the bag inside a container and then seal are much more expensive, but it all depends on what you're willing to spend and what you'll use it for.
You are referring to a CHAMBER SEALER - low end models runs around $ 350. If you have the dough GET IT!
Go watch a few videos - you will save so much $ in the type of BAGS you can use, that alone pays for the difference in cost .
Food lasts even longer and you can also vacuum seal canning jars in most! 😢
My external vacuum part JUST gave out, lasted 6 months- I use this part a lot … Heidi was from “Rain Country” said it would. She’s gone through several..
Her husband makes vacuum chambers from PVC tubes then she recommends purchasing a BREAK BLEEDER pump to remove air from the pvc pipe chamber.
Good luck - Maureen
Yup
Muchas gracias por la explicación, bien detallada me ayudó muchísimo.

No problem
I've got the older model (most likely the same one you had for $99) and it's giving me problems. Did you feel this unit was an improvement over the older unit?
The locking mechanism works better than the system where you just push it down. You don't want to store it in the locked position.
Costco took the old one back. I repackaged it with the supplies from this one. I kept the old box but you technically don't need the box to make the return.
@Stew Anderson it has a lot more uses than just storing food for longer
I have the same model for $99. The big issue was the zipper bags can't be seal ed for a long time by the handle, though these may work for 2 weeks. I'm not sure if the new model has any improvement yet.
@@angelaa7616 what do you mean by the handle?
Excellent job!
Thanks!

Thanks for video, when it comes to reading any kind of instructions I just can’t concentrate for some reason or other. Great job on the video, informative and easy to comprehend… thank you love…

A review would suggest a comment on the effectiveness of the machine not how to unpack and read the instructions. Does it work, how well, would you recommend this this model vs another or at all?
Yes it works, it works fine, it does what I need it to. Unless you're planning on getting one of those vacuum chamber type ones, this is about the same or the best. I don't have the money to go buy a bunch of other vacuum things to compare. Lol What will I do with them all?
Thank you you’ve answered my question. It works well. Just what I was hoping. Thank you for your review
@@daniellefleury5069 no problem
Thanks for reading the box to me and telling me how much you don’t know.
Lol Hope it helped.
NSF > National Sanitation Foundation - it's good to be NSF certified. it's an on-going rating...has to be renewed every so many years.
Not national science foundation? Lol
@@ItsBinhRepaired No, it’s definitely NATIONAL SANITATION FOUNDATION😊
@@zolazingo lol
@@ItsBinhRepaired lol 😂
@zolazingo billl nye the science guy
I just returned this m 2900 FoodSaver. I bought it in November of 2022 I used it six times and if you look at the little appendage that goes into the main unit for the bags it's a tiny little plastic piece that is the weakness in the design I try to use it this morning and found it was broken half of it was in the unit and the other half was still on the spool so if we're going to use that a lot why would this little tiny plastic piece be so weak. Keeping all my paperwork because luckily Costco will take it back. I like the fact that the model itself was redesigned as you mentioned you had to hold both hands on the other one and after 4 or 5 years mine was I guess starting to dry out I had a hold it pretty tightly so I like the fact that they redesigned the unit but I don't like how they designed the piece to use on the plastic bags cuz I use them a lot
Hmmmm I didn't have any issues with that piece. I twist as I pull it out.
he came back with ribs!!! lol
Lol good stuff
Costco is currently having a sale on their brand vacuum seal bags czcams.com/video/I7uLIgCUC4U/video.html

If you want to reuse your bags,just wrap the food in saran wrap.
Juices come out
Then you are not wrapping it correctly. I have been doing it for years with great success. It is the secrect to getting great deals and reusing the bags
@MrMojabo hmmmm
Excellent presenter
Thanks!
In the owner’s manual the picture shows the thick white line on the left side like you had it the first time so that’s how I will put the roll in. Thank you for the review, I’m that person that needs either specific pictures or someone showing me how to do something
like you just did.
My Daughter talked me into buying this food saver when she came for a visit and seen I was wrapping our meat in freezer wrap, if I needed to divide a package of meat then I would first place it in a freezer zip lock bag then wrap in freezer wrap otherwise the would just be wrapped in the freezer wrap over the original packaging. You are very young and maybe you don’t buy ahead but if there is a sale (not managers special) I’ll buy up some extra or when going to the meat market I will prepare all of it for the freezer and all of it is dated, I don’t keep any of it past 6 months.
Haha I have too much in the freezer all overloaded. I've never heard of freezer wrap. Is that like seranwrap? Hope the video helped.
I guess freezer wrap is old school 🙃 I am 64
@@thetwooldpeeps3528 haha interesting
Directions say meat is always moist.
Thanks
MUY BUEN VÍDEO BIEN EXPLICADO, AUNQUE NO ENTIENDO MUY BIEN EL IDIOMA, PERO CON LOS EJEMPLOS Y LA EXPLICACIÓN, LOGRÉ ENTENDER MUY BIEN.
UNA PREGUNTA DONDE PUEDO COMPRAR LOS RECIPIENTES DE PLÁSTICO PARA MARINAR?
MUCHAS GRACIAS DE ANTEMANO.
You can get them in their website.
Which one is the older model you’re talking about sending back? The models I see at Costco are this FM2900 model, and the VS3180. I like the look of the 3180 but don’t want to get the poorly designed one.
The old one I had was very old and had a clear lid to vacuum. They don't have that anymore. Required 2 thumbs to push the vacuum button.
@@ItsBinhRepaired ah ok thanks. Great review
@@MyHam-os4bq no problem. Thanks!
Nice, but try to seal wet food, even raw meat. It does not work well.
Explain this lol czcams.com/video/YLbALQ-UoRg/video.html
And this czcams.com/video/ySTW09fcvNI/video.html lol
@@ItsBinhRepaired Sure. my answer is that I own the brand and it.s not good. I don't owe you any more explanation.
Are you sure you're using it right?
Fish. Store freshly caught fish after 3 days in the fridge.
Hm?

Lol

Haha thanks
only worked 50% out of it --I have to returned to the Costco --wasted of time and $
What do you mean?
NSF----------the National Sanitation Foundation.
Lol National Science Foundation That's what Bill Nye taught me.
For gawd sake buddy, we can read the box. Get on with it!!
Somehow you lack the mental capacity to fast forward. I wonder how you manage to survive.
@@ItsBinhRepaired LOL

?
Too fucking longvideo need to shorten the video and get to the vacuuming process!
You know how to fast forward, right? Everyone shows it vacuuming. Nobody shows any of the other info
Trim your nails man. So weird
What's weird is a grown man, being so interested in the length of another man's fingernails... I'm not interested in making myself more attractive to you...
Worst demo ever!
Not sure what issues you had, but most other comments were positive. Lol
Didn't watch very long, spent to much time on stupid details. Learn to get to the point, watch how others do it so you don't waist our time. Sorry.
Go watch their videos. There's no point making videos like everybody else...
