I guess it takes awhile for the word to get out. The FoodSaver has been around since 1987. I'm on about my 5th one now and just upgraded to their very newest one that stands vertical and is almost totally automatic. Love it! The newer one seems to have a much stronger vacuum pump than my old one, including a option to be nice to soft items so it won't crush them.
You will probably save several hundred dollars a year in food costs from not having to toss out spoiled or freezer burned food.
Congrats on your purchase. If you have access to Mason (canning) jars and lids, make sure you get the FoodSaver attachments for sealing them too.....for refrigerator storage or holding dried goods. I regularly make homemade salsa and other condiments and I vacuum seal them and store in the refrigerator for a long time without worrying about them spoiling before I get to them.
