FOODSAVER V3800 SERIES

It’s difficult to store food in the refrigerator, freezer, or pantry for any length of time. In the freezer things stored get frosty and mostly unrecognizable over time. In the pantry, It hard to keep some pantry items fresh – mostly because we don’t use them quickly.

The FoodSaver V3800 was a Christmas purchase this year. I’ve only used it a couple weeks but here are my thoughts.

* I like the standup design – it takes less space on the counter.

*It’s simple to use. You can use it without reading the directions – but read them.

*You do have to get use to the bag sensor; sometimes it doesn’t responsd. The directions ask that you slide one side of the bag and then position. This works.

*The marinating canister does a great job making faster work out of the process.

*I have ordered some larger canisters to store flour and fresh fruits. I’ll let you know how that goes.

Some reviews complain that the auto bag sensor uses too much plastic (about 1”).
