No regrets! This is exactly what I was looking for

Machine offered by my husband while I hesitated for several weeks (months may be!) Between this model and the V2860 after reading the comments. I must say he made the right choice! It is very easy to use, as with the rollers with the bags.

Welding is thick, the heating time is more than correct. The air gap is perfectly fine. A bit noisy perhaps, but no more than another food processor! and then, it is only for a few seconds.

I use it every week. I freeze all kinds of meat after being evacuated. Space savings guaranteed! I made other tests:
- SOFT PASTA cheese, though not recommended, and although it works very well for a camembert or brie, no worries course for hard cheeses ... I even bought grated cheese in bulk and I split evacuated.
- Crustaceans: I tried the prawns. The first time I made the mistake of leaving them too long in the freezer before evacuation so of course, the antennas have pierced the bag;). 2nd test after putting in freezer for 20 minutes: impeccable. No problem for whelks, winkles ...
- Fish: hey, you have very dry them with paper towels before. A few minutes in freezer if necessary.
- Fruits and vegetables: apples (fruit or vegetable) in perfect slices. I'll test in the summer garden produce. I wanted this machine especially for this purpose: to preserve the best of my vegetable crops.
- Soups: remember to put them in freezer overnight in cubes and then use the machine normally.

The issue of bags and rolls. Personally, if my bags are free from defects, I wash them in hot water with added detergent and yes, I pours (considering the price of the rollers, there are no small savings). So I prepare my bags slightly larger than necessary at the start so that I can then reunite.

It's just over two months I have this machine and no problems. I waited to do some testing before posting this review because at this price, we prefer to be reassured!

Oh, one last thing, the packaging is perfect Foodsaver! the machine is very well protected. This "detail" to see how important our parcels are treated by post ...
