Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have used a FoodSaver for years and was very pleased with it until Reynolds came out with this Handi-Vac. It is easier to use than the FoodSaver, takes no room on the counter, and is significantly less expensive to buy and to use. I bought mine at Wal-Mart for $9.48 - the FoodSavers shown on the page at Amazon list for $119.99 and $139.50.
I could not be easier to use. Use a sharpie to label with bag with contents and date packed, put the food in the bag, zip the bag closed and then vacuum. You are done. No rolls, cutting, making sure that the seal area is clean or getting a bulky sealer out using it and then putting it away again.
It is less expensive to use. You can buy a carton of 17 one quart bags or 9 one gallon bags at Wal-Mart for $2.84. This works out to 17 cents per bag for the quart size and 32 cents per bag for the gallon bags. The quart FoodSaver bags list on Amazon for $19,99 for 48 or 42 cents a bag and the gallon bags list for $19.99 for 32 bags or 62 cents per bag. In other words, the FoodSaver bags cost 100% to 150% more.
The bonus for me was finding that the Reynolds Handi-Vac worked perfectly with the FoodSaver wine corks. I no longer have any reason to hold onto my old FoodSaver and will value the newly found counter space.

Ideal for cooking in bulk, preserving leftovers, or deep-freezing cuts of beef, pork, or poultry, this handy vacuum-sealing starter kit supplies everything needed to prevent freezer burn and eliminate wasted food. The kit features a compact and efficient handheld vacuum sealer that operates on six AA batteries (included), as well as three quart-size polyethylene freezer bags equipped with patented zipper closures and air valves. To use, simply fill and seal a freezer bag with food--anything from fresh-picked vegetables or berries to fillets of fish, leftovers, partially used packages of convenience foods, and more. Place the bag flat on the counter, press the vacuum-sealer tip flat against the air valve, then press the "on" button to remove all air from the bag in mere seconds. The bag forms a tight seal around its contents, which serves to preserve food's flavor, color, and longevity. Best of all, the bags can be heated in the microwave to quickly defrost or warm contents. The vacuum-sealing starter kit measures approximately 4 by 9-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches.
