FoodSaver vacuum sealer FM2010

Keeping leftovers and batch-cooked food organised can be awkward when ordinary containers take up freezer space or let air reach the food. The FoodSaver FM2010 combines a countertop vacuum sealer with a cordless handheld sealer, giving you two ways to prepare food for storage. Its automatic button removes air and heat-seals a bag, while a separate seal button lets you close a roll after cutting it to size. The bundle includes several bag formats, so you can try the setup with more than one kind of food before buying more supplies.

Key specifications

The FM2010 uses an easy-lock latch to secure the bag during sealing and has a removable drip tray. FoodSaver says the machine uses 40% less bag material than traditional FoodSaver units, that comparison is specific to its own product range, not a guarantee of lower ongoing costs for every household. The brand also states that vacuum sealing can keep food fresh up to five times longer than ordinary storage methods. Treat that as a product claim rather than a promise for every food or storage condition.

The box lists a cordless handheld sealer and charging base, three quart-size bags (946 mL), two gallon-size bags (3.78 L), two rolls measuring 11" x 10' (27.9 cm x 3.04 m), and seven quart-size zipper bags (946 mL), alongside the FM2010 machine. The roll format is useful when a standard bag is the wrong size: cut a length for a portion of food, seal one end, then use the vacuum-and-seal function. A practical limitation is that the included supply is finite, so regular meal prep will mean replenishing bags or rolls later.

Who it’s for

This setup may suit households that portion meat, batch-cook meals, or want to reduce air exposure when storing food in the freezer. For example, after cooking a large pot of soup, you could divide portions into storage bags rather than keeping one bulky container in rotation. The handheld unit gives the kit another format to work with, while the countertop machine is the more direct choice for sealing bags made from the rolls.

No te encajará si you mainly use rigid containers or want a system that does not rely on purpose-made bags and rolls. Compared with buying a basic sealer alone, this bundle starts with a wider mix of storage formats, a simpler setup may be a better fit if you only seal food occasionally.

In the box

Along with the FM2010 machine, the bundle includes the handheld sealer with its charging base, the stated bag assortment and two rolls. The dimensions and capacities make the contents easier to assess before choosing: quart-size bags are 946 mL, gallon-size bags are 3.78 L, and each roll is 11" x 10'. The description does not specify additional accessories or how long the handheld unit takes to charge, so those details should not be assumed.

Buying questions

Does the machine seal without a separate manual step? The automatic vacuum-and-seal button removes air and makes a heat seal, stopping when the bag is airtight. The separate seal button is for closing rolls to create custom-sized bags.

Can you choose the length of a bag? The included rolls can be cut to the length needed, then sealed with the machine’s seal function. The description does not state a maximum finished bag length.

Is a handheld sealer included? Yes. The bundle lists one cordless handheld food sealer and a charging base, as well as quart-size zipper bags.

Final verdict

The FM2010 is worth considering if you expect to use both roll-made bags and the included handheld format, and want supplies on hand to get started. Its main trade-off is the ongoing need for bags or rolls, alongside the limited quantities in the box. If your storage routine is mostly containers or you rarely vacuum-seal food, a basic approach may make more sense, for regular portioning and freezer prep, this bundle offers more flexibility than a countertop sealer by itself.
