I purchased this handheld vacuum sealer, due to the one recommended not being manufactured right now. America's Test Kitchen recommended a different one, but after doing my research, found out it may not be made again. The only issue I have is that the battery cover pops off easily. I just put some duct tape over it. The bags are more difficult to seal than a regular ziploc bag, but once sealed they work great. Update on these after almost a year of using them: Now that it's just us too, I plan to put all what I freeze in one larger bag, and just take out what we need. Other than corn, I think it will work great for us, and us on buying ziploc bags this year.
