Nice unit.  You'll love your vac sealer ... it will save you lots of $$ when buying in bulk and it eliminates freezer burned food.  Not to mention being able to freeze all those left overs!!

Nice. I have the V3250 that I've had for 2 years. Never had a problem with it.

We got the adapter to suck the air out of mason jars.  My wife makes up salad and puts individual servings in a jar and seals.  It's amazing how long a salad will keep that way.

I use mine all the time! It's handy for sealing up other things besides food too.

So far so good. Ordered another 50 foot roll of 15 inch wide of the Weston brand from amazon.

Might have been a good idea to measure first......max width my machine handles is 11.

Every day is a struggle when you are this dumb. ??? ???
