FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer FM5380 2-in-1 Vacuum Sealing System Demo and thoughts

[@donnasharp5588]

I just bought one like new for $60 and it came with a ton of bag rolls and quart size bags, but it didn't have an instruction manual so thank you for video. Now I can start using it. 😊

[@TechMadeEzy]

Glad I could help!

[@breezeh1127]

I couldn't find a tutoiral for this model anywhere. My sister gave it to me because she is moving to Denmark and the plugs don't match. But she didn't guve me a booklet or show me how to use it. Your video was a life saver today !! Just divided, sealed and saved 30lbs of ground beef ❤

[@TechMadeEzy]

Glad it helped thank you

[@iloveseaglass]

Thanks we look at your video every time we pull out our food saver. Thanks!

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thanks I'm glad the video helped and I appreciate your support

[@EileenShawnna2475]

Thank you so much for sharing this how-to video! We've had it for 2 years and just today figured out how to use it. Thank you!!!!

[@TechMadeEzy]

Hi Eileen This thing has saved me so much money I used to waste meat because of freezer burn thank you for your comment I appreciate that

[@EileenShawnna2475]

@@TechMadeEzy we've had a Food Saver vacuum for I couldn't even tell you how many years but it wasn't working properly so we purchased a new one. My elderly Mother decided one day to move the instruction manual and naturally forgot where she placed it so this model has been sitting for over 2 years. The day I commented on your post I noticed that the original one would stop vacuuming during the vacuum process. At that point I went to KZbin and found your video which saved the day! I'm very grateful that you took the time to take the video and post it! I made a very large trip to Sam's Club and trust me I wasn't willing to discard the meat!

[@TechMadeEzy]

Well thank you I’m so glad you came back I do appreciate it Eileen say hi to Mom they sure are special

[@truley641]

@ Eileen S. Smith Same here, thank you for sharing so I don’t have to feel like the only one to do such silly things!

[@LindaMorrisey]

Ive had mine for 4 and I still cant figure it out

[@susanyoung2930]

Thanks for the demo. I had my Foodsaver repackaged and ready to take back to the store when I watched this video. I was doing it all wrong with the bag roll!

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thanks so much Susan I'm so glad my review helped 😊 hope you stay with us on the channel

[@adubs6646]

OMG SAME!!!!!

[@suprimeradamablair4260]

Same here!! 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@kimm.8014]

Is there a drip tray?

[@TechMadeEzy]

There is a small drip tray in the sealer

[@sonerila6987]

This thing is a piece. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. You have to move the food in the bag around a little until the Foodsaver decides it's okay to seal it; you can't have more than 1 or 2 pieces of anything or it will not work. Sometimes, you need to take the bag out, do a little dance, reinsert the bag & it might work. Or not.

[@carlavh1]

Totally totally agree. It seems you can only vacuum one or two pieces of meat items or it will not remove all the air.

[@cherylliston3284]

I have this it works great no problems

[@adubs6646]

THANK YOU THANK YOU for this! I also made up my mind to return the thing because I didn’t have the bags in correctly either😖 Now I’ve sealed up several things and am looking for more‼️

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thank you as well Dubs 👍🏻

[@missashley9033]

Thank you!!! I bought it brand new and NO instructions!! Who does that?!! So thank you again for your video.

[@TechMadeEzy]

Aww thanks glad it helped

[@tinahuynh8673]

Wow thank you for this review it was very helpful and rare to find since no else did a review on this awesome machine

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thanks Tina, It is a nice machine, I use it often. Thank you

[@susanp102]

Please tell ppl to wash and reuse ur bags, Ziploc bags too. Keeps them out of our landfills. Of course, for potlucks and gifts u want to use new bags. I've been doing this ever since Ziploc was produced (yes, I'm that old) and have never had a problem.

[@joannamickelson1976]

It would have been VERY helpful if you showed how to insert the roll of bags and where exactly to place the end of the bag to be sealed.

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thank you for the feedback

[@neisaalonso3912]

Thank you! I needed a refresher 😊

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thanks

[@suprimeradamablair4260]

Thanks. Best video I’ve seen!!

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thank you very much

[@navyretired230]

I just purchased this exact model yesterday. I actually have the press the vacuum door after i press the long bar to get it to start vacuuming. It will jut humm and try to vacuum until I press the clear plastic vacuum door with both thumbs. this unit I thought would work faster that the 3300 model but it is just a slow. Not sure if it is worth the extra cost. Also the big roll of bags does not fit into the bag area. we had the reduce the roll by 50%

[@TechMadeEzy]

I just use my two thumbs and it starts to vacuum if it doesn’t it’s normally because I don’t have the bag in the correct way or not enough sometimes

[@kbeeeeee7263]

This helped me a ton! Funny enough, I was trying to do this with bagels I just made lol

[@TechMadeEzy]

So glad I could help Karen hope you subscribe more videos to come and thank you

Good review! Thanks.

[@bartholomewnathaniel807]

Hey my friend- what happens when you seal your bagels "outside" the freezer- How long will they last? Thanks!

[@TechMadeEzy]

Hi I really Don’t know.

[@iReturnV1deotapes]

Would you happen to know if they seal mylar bags? Specifically I'm wanting to build a pantry of dry grains like rice, chick peas, kidney beans etc.

[@TechMadeEzy]

No never tried

[@Sherrypeck]

How do you make the first seal? Like for the bottom of the bag. Did you show that part?

[@TechMadeEzy]

Hi Sherry There is a knob on the bottom right , turn the unit on then turn the bottom right know and it seals the bottom part.

[@Ariez.]

If anyone wondering if they can double seal yes you can! I was very unsure but you can definitely double seal both ends of one bag

[@Cool_Videoz]

Helped me out thanks.

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thank you

[@danemmerich6775]

Simple but to the point video! Nice job!

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thank you Dan

[@codywhalen7957]

So.. say I opened a bag of cereal and just want to reseal the bag. Is it possible

[@TechMadeEzy]

You would have to first use the correct type of bag, not a serial bag. If you buy the food saver role, you can cut it open and you can reseal it again

[@brandonestrada171]

great video thank you

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thank you Brandon

How to add the roll of bags to machine to setup for the bags to come out

[@TechMadeEzy]

The bags just got placed inside the machine and then you pull out the amount that you need and then you use the sealer. I'm so sorry I really wish I could show you

[@snowpony001]

Good review. Thanks for doing the review after having and using it for awhile.

[@TechMadeEzy]

Love it, use it often saves me money and less waste. Do you have one snowpony? Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@snowpony001]

@@TechMadeEzy I don’t have one yet. Have been checking out videos and reviews. Your video was helpful as I said because you made the video after having used the machine for awhile. So many video reviews are unboxing/first use and they don’t know how to use it yet so it’s hard to get a good idea of the performance or features and first impressions can be very different from one’s thoughts after extended use. Been looking at various models and have pretty much narrowed it down to either the 5000 or the 5460, but I’m also looking at the Nesco V-12. Oh, and your Brooklyn is lovely. Thanks again.

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thanks Snowpony, good luck on your choice and let me know how it goes and thanks yes, Brooklyn is the star ⭐️ of this channel for sure, thank you

What about a plate being seal with leftover dinner

[@brentkilpatrick312]

I paid over 200 at Walmart a week ago

[@TechMadeEzy]

Not bad at all, I’m still using the same machine doesn’t wanna die

[@LTO559]

Rough or smooth side up is better?

[@TechMadeEzy]

I’ve done both sides , the roll I believe should be coming out from the bottom when it’s rolling if that helps.

[@patrickr6017]

Wow I have the same exact model, but it barely has any vacuum, and it also auto seals, I can't choose when to stop it. Nice video though!

[@TechMadeEzy]

If it’s the same model it has a cancel button you can hit to stop it, also when did you buy it? I would return or exchange it if the suction isn’t good.

The accessory is really used to take the air out of the small bags that are resealable for lunch meat and items like that. It can also be used to seal cans.
