I purchased this for the simple fact that it is more compact and I wanted it mostly for vacuum sealing jars. Well, the tubes do not fit. I purchased it for nothing.

Great for bulk foods
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This food saver is great to have in the kitchen. We bbq a lot and buy in bulk and this machine really helps to vacuum seal all my food to store in the deep freezer. It is very sleek and doesn’t take up much room on the counter or when stored in the cabinet. The buttons and levers are basic and straight to the point. Everything has worked flawless each time. It vacuums great, cuts great, and operates great. I haven’t had any issues. The bags used are thick plastic that don’t rip or tear either. I’ve used this constantly for weeks and no issues so far. Easy to wipe clean too. The green suction drip tray is removable also, I thought that was great because it gets yucky. Overall this is a great appliance to have in any kitchen and budget friendly too. Even replacing the bags don’t cost too much. I love it.

New & Old
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] FoodSaver Space Saving Vacuum Sealer has been a family favorite kitchen appliance for years! We have the older bigger version that we used to seal up my husband's homemade fresh flavored bacon! Now with the smaller version, we won't have to store it in the pantry!

Seals great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seals great. Sucks out all air so the food freezes for a year. No frost bite, very easy to use, and small storege needed for when it's not in use. Great way to food prep for family portions instead of freezer bags. Extremely easy to use. Just need to push two buttons after you close the lid.

Game Changer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The FoodSaver Space Saving Vacuum Sealer - VS1120 was a game changer. After a few occasions where I had to throw meat away due to freezer burn because the store packaging was inadequate, I decided to try out a vacuum sealer. It's amazing. It's not only small and compact so that it fits nicely in my cupboard (not sitting on a counter taking up space), but it's light weight as well. It's pretty self explanatory, so it is super easy to use even if you have never used one before. I had a packet of chicken vacuumed and sealed within 60 seconds! I love that I can pre-portion my meat, vacuum seal it and store it in the freezer for when I need it. I will absolutely be using this for all my bulk meat purchases in the future and I'm certain it will come in handy for other items as well.

FoodSaver Space Saving Vacuum Sealer is the best!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this FoodSaver Space Saving Vacuum Sealer to try out and how did I ever do without it! It was so easy to seal my leftovers to use for future dinners! It also got all of the air out of my fresh veggies so they can last a lot longer than before! Great product! Highly recommend!

Terrific features!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely the best vacuum sealer food storage we've ever used. Not only is the size perfect for the counter and doesn't take up a huge amount of room to store, it re-seals bags like cookie and potato chip and cereal bags perfectly without struggling to get it situated just right in order for it to seal. 1st try always works. Which is a LOT more than I can say for our old one. We always had issues with it. What a great way to keep foods fresh without them going stale it using chip clips everywhere. The vacuum feature also works terrific. No more freezer paper or freezer bags
It's a little on heavy side but that has no bearing to me. It's certainly well made and I don't foresee it breaking. Extremely quiet also.
Awesome product!!

Recommended attachment destroys machine
I bought the recommended handheld attachment through the link on the page for this machine.
The instructions tell you to "pry the plug out of the machine with a butter knife"
It doesn't come out. Using different tools remove the plug, the plug only comes out in pieces. And the surface around the hole becomes marred and scratched.
The instructions show the hose only going into the machine.
The hose does not come off the green plug/clip.
The green plug/clip is too small for the hole.
* Now I have a machine that doesn't work, is scratched up, and a handheld device for who knows what product.

Cheaply made, waste of money
I bought this a week ago after my last food saver broke. I emailed the company and asked for help, but I now know these are disposable machines. The counter top one lets air back in when sealing. It would be cheaper and easier to use a ziplock bag. I could at least then press out most of the air. So disappointed. Looking for other brands that last longer.

Love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this earlier this month and I love it. It's not big like my previous food saver. It doesn't take up much space and it meets my needs. It's just me and my husband so I don't have as much to save anymore. This is perfect for us.

A kitchen necessity
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time using a food vacuum sealer and I'm not sure how we never got one sooner. I have a family of 5 and be conscientious on how I store or freeze our food very important. The food sealer has helped me be able to seal my food per meal type and properly store left overs for freshness. Not to mention this product has made it much easier to meal prep and seal fruit per shakes. The sealer is user friendly, has an intuitive control panel and features a seal & vacuum indicator light, accessory port, lock latch, upper and lower gasket, an extra wide sealing strip and removable dripping tray. It also comes with a generous amount of seal bags. Overall, the product proves to be an extremely helpful and useful piece of kitchen equipment and definitely something every food enthusiast should own. I highly recommend this product.

I bought this 2 to 3 months ago and would NEVER buy another one. I bought 2 before that (different models) and can't decide which one is worse! I love the type of appliance but it would nice if it worked. Works good when you first use it but then not at all.

My words.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't know how I could get by without my FoodSaver. I use it at least once a day and usually multiple times a day. I had a FoodSave prior to this and just completely wore it out. I will always have one adorning my kitchen.

Best buy of the year.
I waited a long time before buying a food saver. I’m glad I finally but the bullet and bought one. It’s amazing. No more throwing out frozen food that has freezer burn.
