I have had a FS sealer for several years now and it has been a good sealer, although it can be a little quirky about when and how it thinks it's ready to seal a bag, which gets old pretty fast when I'm just trying to get done prepping and putting groceries away. Argh. Sometimes some automations are not all they're cracked up to be.This sealer functions well and is easy to use. It is relatively small and light weight. A bag roll fits inside and there is a sliding blade that is used to trim them to a custom size. Be sure to put the roll in where it will feed over the cutter shiny/smooth side up. I was having a hard time getting the blade to slide and cut on the rough side. Then one end is sealed with the "seal" button and the bag is ready to fill.Once the bag is filled, I put the open end over the sealing bar with the edge hanging into the little narrow tray and closed the door. The door latches on both sides, and takes a little effort to get both sides completely clicked closed where it will make a seal. I like that there are 3 vacuum & seal selections on this little machine - one for dry and two for wet.I like the LED display in the center that shows the status of the job it's doing - it's a nice feature.The first time I used it to create the bag it got a little hot, I think, on one side and melted the seam a little too much. I sealed a handful of pepitas in the bag anyway, and it vacuumed and sealed just fine despite the little bit of extra melty area.The listing has a short video that shows how simple this sealer is to use. There is an accessory hose included with this sealer which I like much better than the one on my old sealer since the tubing is silicone and there is a silicone seal inside the cap. Searching Amazon for vacuum sealer attachments will reveal all sorts of goodies that can be used with this machine.My only hiccup is the pressure it takes to latch it closed on both sides - which stands to reason since it has to make a seal to function properly. A good value. Recommended.
