I've been spending this lazy overcast dreary day indoors, using my foodsaver to vacuum seal some preps. I'm not sure if this product has been discussed, so thought I'd post a review.
I have the small lesser expensive one, the V2244 model.
Overall, I'm happy with it. I paid $60 I believe on Amazon and it came with a decent amount of bags to start with.
For rice and beans, it sucks all the air out making the bag as hard as a rock. I've also been adding a silica pack to each bag.
There was a learning curve to get this product to work reliably however. After reading the manual, I learned not to follow the advise with the bags. The manual says the rough edge of the bag down. It works better with the rough edge up.
The downside is the bags themselves are very expensive. $30 for two rolls. Also, the bags are a little fragile. One tiny rip and you lose your vacuum, so when vacuum sealing rice, for example, you need to put the rice in a separate bag to protect the foodsaver bag.
