According to our vacuum machines expert
The Foodsaver FSV2860 Top Line Vacuum system allows you to keep food fresh for a longer period of time. The vacuum sealer machine sucks all the air out of the bag, so harmful bacteria don't get the chance to spoil your meal. The integrated cutting system allows you to cut FoodSaver bags to size for an even better fit. Simply place a piece of meat, fish, or other food item in the bag. Place the unsealed section of the bag in the vacuum sealing machine, press the vacuum and seal button, and the FoodSaver will do the rest. It has variable settings for different kinds of food, and a pulse system to safely vacuum delicate products. You can operate the Foodsaver vacuum sealing machine with 1 press of a button.
Prepare your vacuum meal in a special sous-vide pan at a temperature of up to 100 degrees. If you're using a regular pan, make sure to use a kitchen thermometer to check that the water doesn't get hotter than 75 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the plastic bag could melt and stick to the hot sides of your cooking pot.

After hesitating about the purchase due to the high price, I bought the FoodSaver FSV2860. A purchase that I have not regretted to date. After a few months of use, I can definitely recommend this device.
Everyone throws away food. Obviously a shame, but often products do not taste better if they are put in a bag in the fridge or freezer. The foodsaver will certainly not prevent this completely, but it offers quite a bit of relief. By sealing food it stays good for much longer (due to the lack of oxygen), tastier (by preventing crystallization) and it is possible to cook sous-vide or let marinades soak in much faster. In addition, sealed products also take up less space, which makes buying cheaper family packaging suddenly much more attractive.
The vacuuming itself is simple. Food goes into the special bags and it is clamped between the device. You choose whether it is moist, slightly moist or dry and you choose the speed of the vacuuming. The more fragile the food, the slower it has to be. With the auto button, the machine will pull the air out and seal it, but with the manual button you can specify how strongly you want to vacuum it. Even sensitive products such as berries remain intact. Here you can indicate yourself when the device should seal. This all works very intuitively. In addition to the bags, it is also possible to use the supplied hose and pot. Ideal for, for example, started coffee that lasts noticeably longer. There is one storage can with the machine, but these can be purchased separately. This also applies to the bags which unfortunately are a bit pricey (40 cents for the small and 70 cents for the large each). These come in different sizes and are easy to use, but the 5 meter rolls are cheaper and can be customised. There are also various other brands that sell the bags, but after a few tests, Foodsaver itself remains the best. The bags are reusable, although they become smaller each time by cutting off the sealing edge.
A disadvantage of this Foodsaver, although I don't expect how other variants will be, is that the sealing is clearly less effective if products are very moist. Because these spread through the bag, they also settle under the seal edge, so that the seal does not always go well. The stock can is therefore more practical for these kinds of things.
And finally the design. The Foodsaver looks nice. Taste is personal, but the brushed aluminum with the black finish does not look out of place in any kitchen. In addition, the film roll is stored in the machine. On the other hand, it is quite a device. In a normal kitchen you will not use a vacuum machine on a daily basis, and the machine is just a bit too big for that to be placed next to the coffee machine and the kettle. Thanks to the rotating base, it is a bit more practical to set up, but for many users the machine will still be stored in the cupboard. The machine is very solid and all parts feel good quality. Because the buttons are completely integrated in the machine, there are no slots where junk can get in and everything is very easy to clean. Very handy in a kitchen.
By the way, I don't just use the device for food. Because I walk regularly, I even sealed a small first aid kit and a poncho. Hugely space-saving and guaranteed dry when it's really needed. A good example of the wide usability of a vacuuming machine.
All in all, an expensive machine, but being able to store it for much longer will pay for itself slowly. Definitely worth the purchase!

This vacuumsystem sucks, and that's exactly what it should do :-). It sucks the air out of the packaging, so that your food can be stored better and longer. After working with a cheaper system I decided to spend a little more money, and I haven't regretted it yet. This device feels a lot more robust and sturdy than my previous cheaper one (which broke after 6 months), and works (so far) perfectly. The use is very simple, well explained and the function of the buttons is self-explanatory. I use this device for professional purposes (storage of food in a catering business) and I like it. So it actualy doesn't suck :-).

Bought it about 1 week, ordered today ... delivery tomorrow, this is unlikely, and YET true. Have been working with Tupperware pottekes for YEARS, like everyone else here with us. But due to lack of space, both in the cupboards and in my freezer, I thought ... wouldn't I even buy such a vacuum device? Long thought and compared different types and prices and finally bought Foodsaver FSV2860. I am SUPER HAPPY, I have already used up almost 1 roll. I'm in the process of throwing out all my pottery to take to the local thrift store. Place won anywhere with this FANTASTIC device. Easy to use and a very nice device, also in terms of maintenance, so ..... Thank you COOLBLUE, my year 2015 has definitely started well. Greetings to ALL the Team, Josiane
