Default Re: Keeping Fish Fresh ~ Vacuum Sealers

With the older Foodsaver (model: v1090) the vacuum was strong and there was no need to dry or pre-freeze your fish to get a strong and tight seal. They were an open design and simple to clean and you could manually control the sealing process. There was no waste of bag material when creating a seal.

The new vertical model I couldn't get a strong seal, the directions now notes to pre-freeze your fish or put a paper towel in the bag to suck up excessive moisture. The automatic on switch and new design causes you to waste six inches of material (sounds like a manufactures design scam).

Sorry done with Foodsaver unless I could get my hands on an older model.
