This Vacuum Sealers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. It works for me!
I know other reviews have said that this machine is hard to operate (not "one handed") and loud...yes, it does require a little "oomph" to hold down both sides of the lid in order to shut it completely, but you need the fit for the proper seal! It is quite loud, but again, aren't air compressors and vacuums loud also? The soft seal option is great; lets you choose how much of a vacuum is used in each bag of more delicate items like strawberries, hot dog and hamburger buns, and muffins. When you think it might squash the items during vacuum stage, you just hit the "seal" button and it stops and seals the bag. I do as the manual suggested and freeze the delicate items first before vacuuming. There is a "delicate" button to choose for this setting which helps the process.
I also recommend getting a model such as this that has the built-in bag holder which allows you to make your own size bags...sometimes those bigger roasts just won't fit into a pre-made gallon bag, and...
2. Works fine - glad I have one
I bought a less expensive model (w/o the extra space for roll storage) but mine functions just like this one. I have used it for about 2 months and it is working very well. Yes, that little nozzle gizmo on the sealer requires a few extra seconds sometimes, but for the most part it doesn't give me any trouble. Here are a few tips for successful use of ANY type of vacuum sealer:
1. Press down FIRMLY to lock the lid. Once it's locked (on both sides), you shouldn't need to keep holding it down.
2. Do NOT store it in a locked position, You'll wear down the gaskets.
3. Freeze delicate, spongy foods such as bread, cake, berries, etc. before vacuum sealing, otherwise the vacuum pressure will squish them. You can also stop the vacuum process early, but I prefer to freeze these items first so I can 'go the distance' on the vacuuming.
4. Freeze liquids and solid/liquid combinations (soups, meat cooked with sauce, etc.) before sealing. The...

Poor Customer Service Makes This Sealer Useless
We recommended a Rival food sealer to many friends and relatives, before it developed a glitch. After a short time, the sealer started turning off before the food saver bags were fully suctioned. It was necessary to unplug it and plug it back in to get it going again. As time went on, the problem became worse and worse. After receiving no replies to our contacts to Rival (2 to the 800 number and 1 via email), we tossed it and replaced it with another, more expensive brand. Rival's customer service is non-existent, so do not take a chance with buying any of their products. If it should break, you are on your own.
