Review: Money saver & Convenient - This is my second FoodSaver. I purchased my first one from BJ's and used it for 5-6 years before it stopped vacuuming properly, hence the second one. This one functions quite well. It also came with two attachments, one for the FS marinating containers and one for mason/ball jars. It vacuums well and seals tightly. Not long ago, I pulled a strip steak from the freezer, still tightly sealed, no frostbite, looked as good as when I first put it in the freezer in 2019; it was delicious! There was no degradation in the least. Also, if you freeze your vacuum-sealed veggies, or leftovers, etc., you can just pop the still sealed bags into a pot of boiling water, or the microwave, to defrost & reheat them, so it saves on washing another pot, and you can pour your hot food directly into your serving bowls. Easy-peasy. It's great for singles, e.g. if I make a tray of lasagna, I have my one portion and cut up the rest into serving size pieces and vacuum seal them for future meals. When I do this, however, I place the cut portions on a tray and freeze them overnight, then when I vacuum-seal them the next day, they retain their shape. I do this when I cut up onions, peppers, etc. so they stay separate and I can take out what I need and reseal the bag. For these, I use the zipper bag. I highly recommend this product if you want convenience and save money on not having freezer-burned foods.
Review: Has its quirks, but works very well - I bought this item on a recommendation from a friend who has the same model. It does have its quirks in use. It will make a bag for you from a roll, but you have to remember to seal the end of the bag first before you pull it out and cut it to length. Until you are used to it, it is easy to forget to do this. The other thing you have to get used to is holding the end of the filled bag in place while pressing the bar that starts the vacuum sealing process. This seems awkward at the beginning, but again, you get used to it after a while. One thing worth noting is that you should make sure you have an adequate length of bag between the sealing slot and the contents and that there are no folds anywhere along the length of the sealing slot. If the contents are too close to the slot or there is a fold, the machine may fail to suck all the air out properly, and will not initiate the sealing process. You can tell this is happening when the machine's suction process takes too long and the higher pitched tone of it sucking the last remnants of air out is not reached. Once you get the hang of it, it seems to do a good job, the ability easily to make bags of any size is welcome. There is also an accessory device for vacuum sealing zip seal bags, a few of which are supplied with the machine, as well as vacuum jars (not supplied) and marinade containers. I have tried the first, but not the last two, and it seems to work well. The machine is noisy when in use, but that isn't an issue for me, and I am generally very happy with it.

## Features

Plus, led light indicators easily guide you through the vacuum sealing process. Just press the vacuum and seal bar to remove the air that causes freezer burn and spoilage

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it matter which side of the bag is facing up (rough or smooth), when you seal the bag?**
A: We recommend putting the bag with the smooth side facing down to the sealing bar.

**Q: Does this machine have the accessory option**
A: Yes, It comes with the accessory option to seal jars or zip bags from food saver.

**Q: Is the 5200 the same as the 5480 or the 5380?**
A: Pretty much. The difference between the 5200 and the 5380 is in the number and types of bags that come with the machine. The 5480 has a "pulse" feature, which just slows down the rate at which the vacuum extracts the air out of the bag, useful if you don't want overly crush delicate things I guess. Personally, I've never found it that difficult to hit the "seal" button to stop vacuuming at the right time with normal pump operation.

**Q: does it work with ball jar attachment?**
A: Yes, the FM5000 series is compatible with jar sealers and any other FoodSaver accessory and container. Happy shopping!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of our best purchases
*by F***Y on May 9, 2020*

Even though this is not the newest model, it is rated by many users on YouTube as the best. I love the way I can seal the next bag as I cut the one I want to use. Seeing the size bag I need right in front with no guessing is great. The bags are reusable. The air removal feature is above and separate from the bag cutting at the bottom. I like that. Takes a few minutes to get used to it, but I can’t stop using it!! I made tomato powder with my dehydrator and with the jar sealer I bought separately, it sealed my 12 oz jars perfectly!!! I am soooo amazed and happy with this machine. It is not huge either and can be transported around your kitchen easily. I did my research before getting this one. My hubby wanted me to spend more to get the newest, bigger one and I’m so glad I got THIS one!!! July 28, 2020 - A little help for those who find pressing the bar and holding the bag to be cumbersome or a pita... lol. Here’s how I do it: Fill the bag and leave a good two or three inches of clearance at the top opening of your bag. The more you do this, the less space you’ll need... If the food is dry, be sure to press the “dry” button and if wet be sure to press the “wet” button before you start. The wet setting will pull air more gently which may be why some people think it’s not working so well on their dry foods. Make sure smooth side of the plastic bag is up when you slide the bag into the machine. I am right handed. I lift the top clear bar just a little with my right hand while I slide the bag, keeping it fairly horizontal and gently pull it across the front of the machine, keeping it under the clear plastic bar and inside the machine. When I have done this, both my hands are equally in front of the machine, one on each side. I look to be sure enough plastic is inside far enough to seal well. Then I press the bar with the orange label with both hands as I’m still holding the bag. This is a super comfortable way to do this. It may take a little getting used to, but it works great for me. The machine starts suctioning the air out and I lift the bag just a little to be sure the machine can pull out the air around the food. If the food begins to get pressed or smooshed too much, I just press the “seal” button and the suction stops and the bag seals. Be patient and wait for the bag to release to indicate it is sealed. That’s it! I’ve stored dried tomato slices, beef jerky, ice packs for coolers, other dehydrated foods, frozen meats, lunch meats, tea mixes, etc. Enjoy your sealer!!! I’m sorry to read some have gotten defective ones. Mine is still working great.
