Does anybody have one of these? If so, mind offering some comments?
I'm a FoodSaver kinda guy, but was curious after I saw an ad.

You mean the cheap one with the vacuum pump that looks like an old-fashioned pump to pump up yur basketball? I have one. I love it. I use it to individually shrink wrap steaks and chicken breasts - no freezer burn and great way to keep portions. A good investment of $5.

Every time I see those at walmart I tell myself I'm going to buy one. One day I'll actually do it, they look like they'd be worthwhile.

Thanks allenmurray. I the FoodSaver is great but it's a bit cumbersome if I'm only trying to freeze one or two things. So I've been looking for something to accompany it in the kitchen. Sounds like a great stocking stuffer.
