Michelle, we've been using one here for almost a year. We also have the larger FoodSaver. The Reynolds does just fine, but so far, we use it for quick items like dividing up a family-sized package of chops, etc. I haven't seen anything yet that would preclude us from using it for anything including long term. It even has a wet (juicy) catch feature. In fact, I just put some tomato pieces and some cherry toms away as a test. We'll look at them in a couple weeks.

My call on it would be a solid --- Thumbs up. It (IMO) takes out the air adequately and we have not seen any freezer burn on anything so far.

The only negative, if you call it one, is that the little seal on the bags is sometimes a bit slow to get started emptying the air from the bag. But once it gets started, no problem.

We normally use only the smaller quart size. Anything larger get the Foodsaver treatment.
