This Vacuum Sealers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Foodsaver 3825
I bought this unit, and I am very satisfied with its performance. On the plus side, the unit works automatically and puts a very good seal on the package. It has more control over the vacuum, and the canister hose is now built into the unit. On the con side, the owners manual leaves much to be desired. I would recommend that you briefly read the quick start guide, then go right to the website and watch the videos. I could not get the sealer to work until I watched the video... then it was very easy, and it works great every time.
If your used to the old food saver vacuum units, then this one takes a bit getting used to, because its automatic. The bags feed in the side of the unit, but you have to learn how to feed in the bag! Once it's fed in the machine, then a clamp comes down automatically and does the vacuum or seal (depending on the setting you use), but you have to wait till it's completely done and stopped to remove the bag. If your a volume packager, this is...

I got this unit at [...], includes the marinate dish, 12 - quart size bags and a roll of bag material.
I've wanted a foodsaver for years but (1) didn't know a lot about them beyond the infomercials (2) didn't know anyone who had one (3) wasn't sure that it was a worthy investment. Things have changed! I've had a few people recommend them and it piqued my interest. We were at Costco and walked by and looked at the box and decided to get it on an inpulse (and it was $20 off). We also buy a lot in bulk and for 2 people, it's hard to go through EVERYTHING before it goes bad.
At first glance it doesn't look like anything spectacular. The box/packaging isn't all that appealing.
SETUP: The cardboard insert is VERY CONFUSING - it tells you to throw it out, but the picture on it makes you think you should throw out the plastic insert as well - I'm glad I didn't. That would have been BAD! STRONGLY recommend reading the instructions first so you know what buttons to...
Need more appointment... ?
Upgrade? Maybe Not!
I just recently brought the FoodSaver 3825 and my major complaint about the unit is the difficulty in getting the bags to seal. It does work if you enter the bag into the slot just right but it used to be a step that didn't require any thougth or finagaling with the older lift-up units. And then once a bag has been used once, the attempt to reuse it with an open edge that is not as stiff as a new bag is even more difficult. I've had gallon bags that I could only use once because the unit would not recognize the cut edge.
Also, when using the unit to creat your own custom bags, the waste generated by the FoodSaver's limitation of making a sesl 1
