been using a Foodsaver Vacuum sealers for 5 years now my 1st one my mother is still using and the one I got now is 2 years old and working great !!! I don't have to flash freeze my fillets and never lose a bag either !!! if you got a bad Foodsaver vacuum sealer that can happen with any brand !!! but wouldn't call the brand garbage especially when buying one from Cabelas !!!
