Great Product
By C. Kelley
I original saw this machine at a restaurant show in Chicago and was very impressed with the features, the overall quality look and feel and especially, the performance. We vacuum packed respective productions at the show and I couldn’t believe how speedily a vacuum was devised and how tight the vacuum/seal was around the product.
Once I got my machine, I without delay went to work on vacuuming some deer steaks and sausage I had in the freezer from last fall. Those steaks were just wrapped in butcher paper so I wanted to make sure they would last longer than they ordinarily would in the paper. I vacuumed with regards to 25 person steaks and on each one, the PRO 130 performed as expected…GREAT! It only took with regards to 12 seconds to exclusively vacuum and seal each pouch. I actually like the drifting seal bar because when you position the bag to be packed, the bag isn’t touching the seal bar causing it to melt. Since I vacuumed the steaks, I have applied it for some other feed productions and am exceedingly satisfied with the performance!!
I would highly commend this machine to any person who is wanting something that has more power and features than those for less models out there.

Smoke and then flames…twice!
By Jim
I got this after looking over others and thought the “commertial quality” with dual piston vac pump was to be a good plus.
However, after five sealings in two days when doing a “seal now”, the timer counted down and the heat just kept going…it started smoking rather quickly. I had to pull the plug to stop it and by now the heating strip was on fire.
It took me 2 days of venting my house and a strong scented candle to get rid of the nasty stench from this thing burning up. Fortunately I pulled the plug before any further harm occured.
I sent this thing back and don’t plan on risking another. I’ve now ordered an older model of FoodSaver that has many, numerous 5 star reviews.
UPDATE: Even altho I had sent this one back for a refund(it was a Sam’sClub Purchase), they had sent me another one as replacement. Believe it or not, this one too burned and on only the second use. Both times I was using the “auto” function. This time I was vacuuming a canister where last time I was doing a vac & seal. I physically took it back to the SamsClub store and got my cash back. The FoodSaver 2440 has been working fine…I actually like it.

VacMaster not concerned with creating satisfied customers
By S. Collins
I purchased the precursor to this 3 years ago and am on machine number 3 from ARY Inc. The primary machine never worked. They sent me a refurbished machine to replace the brand new one, which I did not recognise until that one had to be replaced. The second had a “wiring problem” that made it out of the question to adjust the sealing time. At that point, I requested a brand new machine or a refund of MSRP. ARY Inc. refused to do that and rather sent me another refurbished machine which will only vaccuum and seal if you hold the top down while the machine is running. If I spend my own cash AGAIN to ship this one back to them all I have to look forward to is another refurbished model. ARY Inc. is not worth doing business with.
