Completely defective - total waste of money
The product description above is a flat-out lie. No sportsman in his right mind would want this piece of junk. You'll be lucky to get it to seal once correctly, let alone work in any heavy duty application. We purchased this product about 6 months ago and stupidly did so without reading reviews first. This product should never have been released. It is completely defective and absolute garbage. Foodsaver is a great name, and we bought it based on the strength of their reputation. The first time we used it we noticed that it formed a very poor vacuum. It just wasn't strong enough to really pull the air out. The second time, the problem got even worse. This time around, we were just tryng to vacuum pack some veggies from the garden, and the sealer completely failed. It will only seal the bags if you vacuum the air out, release the seal, then hit the seal button. Even then, it only seals about 1/3 of the time. Now that we are doing more research, it seems this is a universal problem...
Perfect!
We do a LOT of sealing in our family and have burned through many sealers. The GameSaver held up terrific to our workload of 1 steer, 3 hogs, and many deer. We didn't have to worry about over-heating, it kept up and sealed every time.
Not worth the sportsman name.
Bought this unit for our great Alaskan fishing trip b/c of the advertised heavy duty usage possibility, after 5 fillets the g500 started to overheat. We then had to wait about ten minutes for it to cool down. After it finally cool down we started sealing again and we ran into the same problem after another 5 fillets. Aka it was a very long night of waiting for the unit to operate. Not worth buying this unit. Anyone looking for a heavy duty, high usage vacuum sealer the Game saver silver g500 is not for you.
