- Moist and Dry Food Settings: Gives you better control when sealing different food types such as meat, cheese and pantry items.
- One-touch Lever Operation: Simplifies the sealing process for quicker everyday use.

Q: Is this vacuum sealer good for bulk meat buying at home
A: Yes. FoodSaver VS2198 suits households that portion bulk meat, seafood, cheese and leftovers into smaller packs for storage. It is better matched to regular home use than heavy-duty batch sealing, so large back-to-back runs will be slower.
Q: Can it seal moist foods like fish or marinated meat
A: Yes. FoodSaver VS2198 has separate moist and dry settings, so it can seal foods like fish, meat, cheese and other damp items more appropriately. It is not the right choice for sealing loose liquids or soups on their own.
Q: Do I need pre-cut bags or can it use rolls
A: You can use rolls. FoodSaver VS2198 stores the roll inside the unit and has a built-in cutter, so bags can be made to the length needed instead of relying only on pre-cut sizes. It is best suited to vacuum bag rolls for custom bags.
Q: How easy is the one-touch lever to use daily
A: FoodSaver VS2198 is straightforward for everyday sealing because the one-touch lever reduces the number of manual steps during use. It still works best when the bag opening is placed flat and centred, so setup matters for a clean seal.
Q: Will the FoodSaver VS2198 take up much bench space
A: Yes, it is relatively compact. FoodSaver VS2198 suits smaller kitchens and apartment benches more easily than larger sealers, but it still needs clear space for feeding the bag through and room to operate the lever comfortably.
Q: Does the angled seal strip actually reduce bag waste
A: Yes. FoodSaver VS2198 uses an angled seal strip designed to waste less bag material, which can help you get more bags from each roll. You still need to leave enough spare bag length at the open end for the seal to form properly.
