Comments

1. This is so awesome. I showed my husband and he is going to make me one.

2. Thanks for Reviews :D

3. I’d love to have one in my kitchen. I often harvest bulk of vegetables and then let them ruined after 5 days more or less.

4. So bummed I missed out on this giveaway! I’ve been wanting to get one of these bad boys!

5. I would love a foodsaver. Now living on a fixed income makes it more important to not waste anything.

6. I’m so excited about your FoodSaver 4800 Series Vacuum Sealer Giveaway, that I can barely type this comment. I have an older, now yellowed, FoodSaver that I have used to store not only meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts and other snacks, but sewing items and travel items such as cosmetics and medicines. This technology is so advanced and so useful for our time. My husband used to ask me to vacuum-seal dental materials and to double seal sterilized instruments and other items that he took when traveling by airplane or train when going to teach dental clinics, or to perform dental treatment people who could not afford to go to the dentist in a foreign setting or another city. I lost him to a stroke seven years ago, and know that he would have loved for me to have this new FoodSaver vacuum sealer. I have sealed watercolor tubes and acrylic paints and paintbrushes and other craft items so that they would not leak or spill out into other items. The uses for the FoodSaver are endless, and this is my Dream Machine for my kitchen. I bake and would enjoy sealing my cookies and sending them by mail to friends, relatives, and pen pals serving in the military in different areas of the country. Thank you for offering this giveaway to us. I hope I win!

7. I would use the food saver for so many things.
