Take this into consideration before your purchase
This is a model that is stripped of some of its practicality in order to make it more compact and lightweight. We are sure that there are users out there that will appreciate these traits. Those of you that need such functionality will have to look for other models.
We like the removable drip tray included in this product as it makes every sealing session a mess-free experience. The convenience factor is enhanced this way as you will no more experience food leaks and other messy situations connected to vacuum sealing. We feel that this feature is a redeeming trait for the lack of roll storage and bag cutting functionality.
The 5-year limited warranty and a great customer service ensure that you will have no reliability issues and other worries during that period. In the end, it will be a choice between more advantages and a few disadvantages that will decide whether you will opt to buy this product.
The Features
FoodSaver FM2000-FFP can be considered as an entry level food vacuum sealing system. It offers a mix of decent performance and useful features at an affordable price. It represents a potentially good choice for users who do not extra functionality which usually increases the cost of the device. Read on to find out the full feature set of this model.
Uses up to 40 percent less bag material than other traditional food saver units. The new special design allows this model to minimise bag usage while sealing foods. The absence of a bag cutter mechanism and roll storage can be a blessing to some and a disadvantage to others. The absence of these additional space taking features allows this unit to be compact and lightweight. It was primarily designed to work best with the FoodSaver bags and rolls although it can work seamlessly with other types too.
Latch and Lock Operation enables fast operation and efficient vacuum sealing for your foods and meals. By placing a filled bag into the vacuum sealing channel one only has to close the easy to handle latch bar. As soon as this is done, the vacuum system starts the sealing procedure with a simple press of a button. This way you can perform the whole operation in two easy steps.
Removable Drip Tray allows for easy maintenance and cleaning that will make your vacuum sealing a hassle-free experience. We all know how messy the packing procedure can get so this nice accessory allows us to focus on sealing food and not worry about the staining and cleaning. Most users of vacuum sealers are not aware how a seemingly insignificant accessory can make your life easier. Especially when you are dealing with moist and soft foods and meals.
