Sunbeam FoodSaver VS6600
Verified6 reviews
Total waste of time and money – Another very disgruntled customer who has had a similar issue with this unreliable appliance. It originally worked reasonably well but recently it won't vacuum the air from the plastic pouches. My son also bought a different Sunbeam model (VAC440) but has experienced the same problem. Total waste of time, money and your patience. Look for a more… Read more
reliable model but make sure it's not a Sunbeam. It's a pity there is not a system in place whereby manufacturers can be fined for selling products that don't meet a satisfactory level of appreciation by the customer. It's simply not fair that companies are able to get away with releasing sub standard products onto the public like they often do and yet are rarely held to account when customers regularly report failures for the same product. How hard is it to make a product that can actually work properly and not fail after a few short years. Unfortunately, both units are out of warranty but I buy products to last a lot more than the 12 month warranty these companies are obliged to offer. If I wanted a boat anchor, I would have gone to a ship's chandlery.
Fail! Fail! Fail!
Sick of overheating – The concept of this product is great but to store your meals of more than 8 times in one go then you've got to wait and wait and wait some more to finish the job due to the machine constantly overheating. So frustrating. Shame this Sunbeam product doesn't live up to their reputation.
Great Home Vacuum Sealer – Have owned this machine for over three years. Used mainly for sealing food to be cooked in my sous vide cooker (water bath constant temperature cooking). Seals well and pump still as new. I had the cloth on the heat sealer strip slightly dislodge at one spot (through my fault) which caused the strip to melt the bag too much. The cloth strip easily… Read more
lifted and re-positioned correctly in seconds. Also have discovered cheaper bags (caveat emptor) that work with this machine which keeps the costs down.
It's a bit limited – Had one for a couple of years with low usage and the vacuum has stopped working, sounds ok but no real suction. Also found if you use it 5 or 6 times in a row it has to have a 10 minute break before it works again and then only for a shorter period,looks like I'm going elsewhere Okay for short time usage Very limited if you wish to use more than 1/2 a dozen times in a row. Life span appears to be very short.

Love this thing! – I love the sunbeam Vac660. It says you should use the original sunbeam bags, but bought some other cheaper bags off the internet, and as long as they're textured on one side, they work great. Vacuum seal everything I can find. Great for marinating as it opens up the pores of the meats so cuts down on marinating time. Also great for sealing chip… Read more · 1
packets after they've been opened. It also comes with a plastic container for crackers, etc and the hose fitting to suck the air out of that. Plus a bottle stop for wine/beer bottles. Good sturdy machine. Have had no problems with it. Can take other manufacturer bags and rolls.
Love it! – Had wanted one for years... Hubby got me one for Christmas & it is like a little angel in the cupboard. We have a 7 yr old and 3 mth old.....from separating home made lunch snacks to preparing baby food for the freezer... Well it is awesome. Highly recommend it to every family... Fast, easy
