Easy Use
Customers are overwhelmingly positive about the ease of use of the FoodSaver 4980 2-in 1 Vacuum Sealing System, praising its simple operation, concise instructions, convenience, and reliability. The built-in cutter is also a major plus for many users. Some customers have noted that it takes some effort to set up the machine each time they use it, but overall, they are very satisfied with their purchase.
Sealing Performance
Customers have a generally positive opinion on the sealing performance of the FoodSaver 4980 2-in-1 Vacuum Sealing System. They appreciate that it creates an air tight seal, wastes less bag material, and extends food storage life. Some customers have noted that it performs well with various kitchen applications and even sous vide cooking. However, a small group of purchasers have reported issues with the accessory hose and imperfect seals using certain bags.
Highlights
Quality
It is very easy to use, does a great seal and vacuums quickly.
For meat it extracts all the air and makes an air tight seal which seems to keep it fresh even after several weeks.
It lasted about 40 bags over two months before it quit vacuuming.
I don't know how much we save but i know food does not get freezer burn when vac sealed, even after six months.
Price
It is quick and easy to use and the accessory tool is priceless!
It will save quite a bit of money considering the cost of the plastic bag material.
Bags are a bit expensive but well worth it for the quality improvement in keeping frozen foods.
Shipping
The unit arrived on time and works great.
Packaging/appearance
Pretty close to the professionally sealed packages that i was previously using from a packaging company.
Competitiveness
Bought this exact machine at costco last november 2015.

You just have to clean them well and make sure you have enough excess bag after trimming it in order to seal it again

Using my new food saver i had no messy to clean up and sealing did not consist of me pushingsucking the air out of the bag

Just make sure if you are making small bags from the roll that you cut and seal iron such a way that the last seal you do in the bag is with the curl from the bag going downward
