- Excellent product
- We've owned a FoodSaver Pro III for about three years now, and it is used daily, often several times a day. Most of our use is not to vacuum seal food in FoodSaver bags, but to reseal commercial packages of chips, crackers, cereal, pretty much everything. Used this way, with the Manual Seal button, the air is not vacuumed out (imagine vacuuming out all the air from a bag of potato chips -- you'd end up with a brick of potato flour). The food stays fresh and crisp for much longer than if you opened the package and used some sort of clip to close it again. In three years we've probably paid for the unit in food that we haven't had to discard.
We do use the vacuum sealing function, with the special bags, and that works very well.
We definitely recommend the product. - 2008-04-19, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Used to be an excellent product
- When our old Foodsaver, which was made by Tilia, finally died we decided to upgrade. This "professional" model worked for less than 4 months when it gave up the ghost. The company will only "repair" it--no replacement.
And, that's at my expense to ship this lemon back to them.
Foodsaver is no longer the quality product it used to be, nor do you get the same level of customer service as before. - 2008-03-16, 4 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- I would give this a zero if possible
- When our old foodsaver died, we decided to go with the professional series since we buy meat in bulk and vacuum pack it. This lasted about a year when the lower gasket started falling apart and the sealer stopped working. When my husband called for a replacement foam gasket from the only company that sells parts for these machines, and he was specific about which one (the bottom gasket), they sent us the gasket for the top. When we called "the only parts company that carries foodsaver parts", they said they don't make gaskets for the bottom portion only the top. So, in short, if you want an expensive sealer that they don't even carry parts for, go ahead and buy this. Otherwise, go with a less expensive one that can be thrown out or go with another brand altogether.

- Beware or We got a Lemon!
- Our FoodSaver Pro III Series worked great for ONE year and ONE month! Loved it's performance, however, we are not impressed regarding its durability after paying about $190 with only a year warranty....
After using it sparingly 2-3 times per month, we just tried to seal and vacuum a few items today and a huge electrical spark came out of the left side of the unit, and it was dead--and in the garbage. Talk about planned obsolescence!!!!
Cannot afford to buy a new one every year! Would NOT buy another one! - 2007-09-25, 6 of 7 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- FoodSaver Pro III
- I love this product. It's the third FoodSaver Pro vaccum sealer I have owned over the past 15 years and I use it almost everyday. Saves me money and keeps food fresh. I prefer the Pro series as it is heavy duty and best for everyday use.
