Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of FoodSaver FSFRSH0055 FreshSaver Handheld Vacuum-Sealing System
Customer Review: As Seen On TV....
Summary: 3 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Pros:
-It does suck the air out of the bag or container, creating a vacuum seal.
-The containers are useful and easily reusable.
-The bags are reusable if you don't store something smelly or greasy in them.
-Bags are washable.
-Containers are washable in the dishwasher/top rack.
-Food does stay fresh longer but not as long as the melting seal type bags.
-This is a less expensive option for a vacuum-packaging system.
Cons:
-You can't create a custom-size bag like the food savers that melt the plastic for vacuum sealing.
-Bags are expensive. The current cost (3/2010) per 1-quart bag is about .44 cents.
-After 2 weeks, the bag lost its seal. This rarely happens in the melting seal type systems. The seal is only as good as the Ziploc on the bags.
-If you get any food in the Ziploc zone, it will not seal properly.
-The vacuum unit is an energy vampire because you need to keep it plugged in to keep the motor charged.
In summary: This is a good "inexpensive" option for short-term vacuum sealing. I wouldn't count on this system for long-term freezer storage because it will lose its seal & ice crystals will form on the food. The replacement bags are expensive so you need to weigh the cost of the bags against the cost of the food you are storing. The containers are expensive but you'll probably be able to reuse them more frequently if you treat them with care.
