Expert Reviews


What experts liked

CrushFree Instant Seal protects and seals delicate foods.
The V2244 food vacuum sealer comes with a starter kit so you have everything you’ll need to seal your food in one package, including pre-cut, heat-seal quart-sized and gallon-sized bags; one heat-seal roll of plastic material so you can cut custom-sized bags to hold whatever you need to preserve; and a user manual.
We also really liked that it is super easy to start or stop the vacuum and creep up on the perfect amount, simply by hitting the "Vac/Seal" button to start and stop the pump.
It has a strong motor that runs quietly and fast.
This models main selling points are it's small compact size and ease of use.
The FoodSaver V2244 has a strong motor that operates quickly and quietly.
- Foodal
The sleek and simple design of this vacuum sealer makes it easy to store and adaptable to any setting.
However, this is a small complaint that is greatly overpowered by the many different incredible features and accessories that are guaranteed to make your life so much simpler, quicker, and cheaper.

What experts didn't like

It doesn't seal quite as fast as costlier models, but considering the price, you may not mind.
Unfortunately, this products does not have any sort of integrated bag storage system or a dedicated way to cleanly cut bags.
The V2244 has a strong motor and works great but sealing liquids may be a little difficult
Once you've used a machine with an automatic sealer, it's hard to go back.
The FoodSaver V2244 Vacuum Sealing System doesn’t work on vacuum zipper bag.
The main drawback to the FoodSaver V2244 Vacuum Sealing System is that there are not as many automatic or hands free functions as there are with other food sealing systems on this list.
