The hand helds work great but you have to use special bags for most of them.
Unless I was a hunter or in a remote area where the nearest grocery/meat store required more than an hour drive to get to it, I wouldn't have a food saver.
We have used it off and on over the years and each time it seems like we buy a bunch of meat, cheeses, veggies and other foods....vacuum seal them and then end up throwing away about half due to :
Get tired of eating the same thing (mostly with the left overs)
The seal comes loose (not often)
The food has been in the freezer or pantry too long
Need room for newer food
So between the initial investment for the machine, the cost of the bags, the cost of the food,the time spent packaging the food and then the money wasted by throwing some of the food away....I feel it's better to just go to the local store and get it fresh.
Take a look at the QVC.com or HSN.com websites they both have several food sealers available.
