I was on the verge of buying a new FoodSaver because my old one (v2220 at least 10 years old) wasn't sealing well even though I cleaned the gaskets. It would vacuum and vacuum but wouldn't hit the point where the sealer would engage. These replacements popped right in (30 second job to swap the old for the new) and my machine immediately was fixed and now works like new. Yay!

I have an online wear-ables business which requires custom items to be sealed for freshness prior to shipping. I use my FoodSaver regularly to seal these items prior to packaging. I purchased these replacement gaskets for my FoodSaver V2244 after it quit suctioning a vacuum. I believe I likely stored the machine in the "locked" position which caused the original gaskets to over compress. I ordered these replacement gaskets without much troubleshooting. Once these arrived and I attempted to replace them, I REMOVED and RESET the ORIGINAL gaskets. My vacuum sealer once again works like a charm. I will be keeping these replacement gaskets as a spare since they were relatively inexpensive and I might actually need them one day in the future.

I guarantee you’ve never seen a more broken & defeated individual than myself when my FoodSaver stopped working. Think Leonardo DiCaprio at the Oscars all those years, a child realizing their first goldfish stopped swimming, or biting into what you think is a chocolate chip cookie only to find raisins. Before burying my beloved FoodSaver in a shoebox in the backyard, Bob the Builder whispered in my ear “Can we fix it? Yes we can!” After minimal research, I ordered this set of replacement gaskets. What’s a gasket? Apparently those foam rings create a seal and enable air to be removed. Once worn out, it’s difficult to make a proper seal & you’re left with 40 burritos or 5 gallons of chili in desperate need of preservation.
