FoodSaver Elite All-in-One Liquid+ vs FoodSaver FM2000 Vacuum Sealer

The Elite All-in-One Liquid+ is the more capable machine: six modes including liquid, sous vide, marinate and pulse, plus a bag cutter and roll storage. The FM2000 is the simpler, lower-cost starter sealer with a 4.2/5 rating from about 2,800 owners and a drip tray that makes cleanup easy. Buy the Elite if you seal wet foods, marinate, or cook sous vide; buy the FM2000 if you mainly freeze portions of dry or frozen food and want straightforward operation.

• Choose the FoodSaver Elite All-in-One Liquid+ if you seal liquids, soups, marinades or sous vide bags and want built-in roll storage and a cutter.
• Choose the FoodSaver FM2000 if you mostly portion and freeze dry foods and want a simple, well-rated starter sealer with an easy-clean drip tray.
