FoodSaver 4800 Review
The FoodSaver 4800 is the top of the line model in classic FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer configuration. This design has been tested and used in thousands of kitchens over the years and is proven to be reliable. It's automatic sealing functionality make it extremely easy to use for almost everyone. You can vacuum seal both wet and dry items allowing introduce a marinade to your meats. It also features a removable drip tray for catching excess liquid that's dishwasher safe helping you keep things sanitary. It has built in bag storage and cutter, so you don't have to be searching all over your kitchen when you want to vacuum seal something. If you prefer to use precut bags, or vacuum sealable canisters this model comes with a retractable accessory hose giving you additional flexibility with what you can seal.
One of the biggest complaints from this product series was the amount of bag waste the automatic sealer produced. If you're willing to give up the automatic sealer to reduce the waste look at the the FoodSaver FM5200, it addresses this problem. Our second complaint applies to all of the FoodSaver vacuum sealers, and it's that they are very noisy when you're operating them. Lastly, you do want to be aware of its size, at 11" x 20" x 12" it does take up a good bit of counter space.
