FoodSaver Home Vacuum Packaging System Advanced Design Series 2860

Date Published: 11/15/06

The FoodSaver 2860 Home Vacuum Packaging System Advanced Design Series is truly a remarkable machine that not only saves you money, but also preserves the quality and nutrition of your food. Those who have used a vacuum packaging system before will notice how easy this model is to operate. Those who have never operated a vacuum packaging system will be able to follow the simple operating instructions and seal all types of foods quickly and efficiently.

The Advanced Design Series 2860 includes the slim machine with hinged lid; internal storage area, which holds a FoodSaver roll; touchpad control panel; and start-up supply of FoodSaver bags. You also get an accessory hose, which can be used with FoodSaver canisters (sold separately), which are available in a variety of sizes. The unit has three speed settings -- high, normal, gentle -- as well as adjustable settings for moist or dry food, Crush Free Instant Seal and canister mode. You can even manually pulse vacuum and seal a bag. The extra wide sealing strip and vacuum channel is foolproof and produces an extra-secure airtight seal.

By removing the air before sealing, foods stay fresher up to five times longer than when stored in conventional containers or with plastic wrap. There are several other handy features, such as the hands-free press-to-activate start mechanism; built-in roll cutter, which lets you create custom-sized bags from a roll of FoodSaver plastic; secure latch, which keeps the lid closed during operation; and removable drip tray for easy cleaning.
