This is my 5th year of owning a foodsaver v2440 vacuum sealer. My first one lasted 3 years. Then I was told by the company that I could either order a rebuilt one or a new one. I chose a new one. It’s working great.I have abudant food supplies for a pet parrot and two rodents: a chinchilla and a hamster. Without the Foodsaver I don’t believe I could care for them all as the problem of food storage would be too difficult. As for humans, it saves having to throw out so much food because of fear it is no longer good. The problem, expressed by many on the web, is of the leaking canisters. I worked on this problem for years before finding the solutions. The company (Tilia, which just sold to another company – Jarden Consumer Solutions) representative told me to take out the rubber liner of the lid, soak it in warm water for 10 minutes, let air dry, resoak it and air dry again. Then of course put it back in the lid. This does work most of the time on the smoke colored canisters, which are called “Bulk Storage Canisters”. But not all of the time, and I do not remove the rubber linings from the Designer Canisters (clear with white lids). They are too difficult to fit back properly. The other important thing which I discovered on my own is timing. Set the smoke colored canisters (Bulk Storage) on the Sealing Adjustment Switch number “2.” Only set the clear canisters with white tops (Designer) on the Sealing Adjustment Switch number “1″.
