Very useful tool
I think I underestimated how well this process keeps food, and i have found the VS7850 very easy to use. Just a small caution when using it, stick to the bags and consumables supplied by Sunbeam, I have tried some cheaper ones but they have not performed nearly as well as the genuine. Also, be extremely fussy about removing all air, and the machine manages this much better if you are not stingy on the bag size.

Easy to use
The Foodsaver vacuum sealer is such a great product. I wish I had purchased one years ago. It seals up food and protects it from freezer burn and is great for bulk buying, travelling and camping. Its so easy to use. You just seal up the bottom of the bag, cut the size you want from the roll with the built-in cutter, put your food inside, then vacuum and seal at the push of a button. There is a place to write contents and date on the bag so you will never be left guessing. The bag roll is stored in the unit. It is very neat. I am looking forward to trying the Sous vide function on my Thermomix and this unit is perfect for the prep. The bags are Sous vide safe. There are also extra containers available to suit and a marinade function I am keen to try.

I have had 3 vac and seal machines and have not had success until this one. It works beautifully ! So easy to use and perfect vac and seal each time. it has an area where it stores the roll, which is handy. I love it and would recommend it over other brands.

Things to consider
It offers convenient everyday sealing features, but it is not the most compact choice and may not suit buyers seeking premium specialist settings for a wider range of delicate or advanced vacuum sealing tasks.
Bulk food storage suitability
High - well suited to portioning and storing bulk food for freezer, fridge and pantry use
Ease of use score
8/10 - simple controls, one-touch lock operation, onboard roll storage and in-lid cutter make everyday use straightforward
Noise level vs category average
About average - typical bench-top vacuum sealer noise during sealing and vacuum cycles
Bag compatibility range
Good - supports rolls, pre-cut bags and zipper bags, with accessory hose included for compatible accessories
Portability rating
5/10 - designed more for bench-top storage and regular kitchen use than frequent moving
Key benefits
- One-touch lock operation: helps make sealing simpler and quicker for everyday meal prep.
- Onboard roll storage: keeps bag material close at hand so you can make custom bag sizes in one place.
- In-lid cutter: lets you cut roll material neatly without needing separate kitchen scissors.
- Easy marinate programme: pulses vacuum pressure to marinate meat in around 12 minutes.
- Removable drip tray: makes cleanup easier after sealing wetter foods.
- Roll and bag sealing support: works well for freezer, fridge and pantry storage across different food prep needs.
- Included starter pack: comes with a 28 cm roll, five pre-cut bags, five zipper bags and an accessory hose so you can get started sooner.
- Cord storage: helps keep the bench tidier between uses.
Q: Can this vacuum sealer make custom-size bags from a roll?
A: Yes. The VS7850 has onboard roll storage and an in-lid cutter, so you can cut a bag from the included 28cm roll and seal it on the same machine. That suits custom portions better than relying only on the pre-cut bags in the box.
Q: How does it handle wetter foods when sealing bags?
A: It is designed to cope better with wetter foods because the removable drip tray catches moisture during sealing. That helps with cleanup, but it is still best for foods with limited free liquid rather than very runny soups or sauces.
Q: Will the included hose let me use FoodSaver accessories?
A: Yes. The included accessory hose allows the VS7850 to connect with compatible FoodSaver accessories, not just rolls and bags. A container is not included in the box, so accessory-based vacuum storage needs separate compatible pieces.
Q: What does the easy marinate programme actually do?
A: The easy marinate programme uses pulsed vacuum power to draw marinade into meat in around 12 minutes. It is a prep shortcut rather than a cooking step, so flavour and texture still depend on the cut, marinade and how long you marinate after that.
Q: Is it suitable for freezer, fridge and pantry storage?
A: Yes. The VS7850 seals rolls and bags for freezer, fridge and pantry storage, which suits batch cooking and bulk prep when you want ready-portioned food between meals. It is for storage, so normal food-safety handling still matters before sealing.
