Problems with Food Saver

[talan64]

Does anyone else have this issue with their food saver? 

I start having an issue with the bags getting vacuumed out after about 10 bags.  I let it sit for a bit and it ok for maybe 5 - 7 bags...and so on.  It looks like the sealer is getting too hot and sealing the bag before it has a chance to pull vacuum.  When using for just a couple bags it's great with no problems, just when doing a lot of sealing.

Just curious if anyone else has the same issue.

Yes many of us have that problem with them. When doing a bunch of sealing I actually use two sealers and still have the problem of overheating with both units

No matter what food saver claims ,their vac sealers are designed for sealing just 5 -6 bags in a session.

 I called to ask about the problem i was having and when i told them i may seal anywhere from 5 to 30 bags at a time they said that is more of a commercial use.

 Told them ok ,i can quit buying your product and buy a commercial sealer.

Well, thanks for the comments.

I'm not saying that I'm glad others are having this issue too, however, I will say I'm glad I'm not the only one, and that there is nothing "really" wrong with my sealer.
