Our verdict

A compact FoodSaver that handles everyday freezer and sous vide sealing and ships with starter bags. The seal bar width is not given, so check it against your widest bag before ordering.

Overview

A drip tray with a bag alignment guide lines up the open end of the bag with the sealing strip, so the heat bar closes it where it should. The FoodSaver then pulls the air out and seals automatically, all inside a space saving body.

Small kitchens get the same vacuum sealing power the maker gives its traditional models, in a narrower housing that is easier to store. The alignment tray also cuts down on wasted bag material. Weak spots are the thin spec sheet and the lack of any described manual or moist food setting.

Who it's for

Cooks short on counter room who portion meat, leftovers or sous vide meals will get the core FoodSaver job in a smaller footprint. Heavy bulk sealers who want manual pulse control or a stated seal width should look at a machine with a fuller spec sheet.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Space saving housing stores easily
  • Automatic vacuum and seal cycle
  • Drip tray aligns bag with sealing strip
  • Starter roll and quart bags included
Cons
  • Seal bar length not listed
  • No manual pulse or moist setting mentioned
  • All plastic housing

Performance notes

Seal quality comes down to bag placement, and the alignment tray puts the bag edge on the sealing strip each time, which reduces crooked seals and trimmed waste. Automatic mode decides when vacuum stops and heating starts, with no manual override described for crushable or wet foods. Sticking to FoodSaver bags and rolls matches the listed compatibility.
