The FoodSaver FM5200 is a countertop vacuum sealer with a built-in roll holder and cutter for making custom bags. Its standout feature is a second heat-sealing bar that preps the next bag while you seal the current one, cutting bag-making steps roughly in half versus older FoodSaver models. It detects moisture automatically and switches modes, and the removable drip tray is dishwasher safe. It suits home cooks who freeze in bulk, sous-vide users and hunters or gardeners with a lot to preserve; it is bulkier and heavier than compact handheld sealers but seals more consistently.

Owners rate it well overall, praising strong, consistent seals and the bag-making shortcut. Complaints center on its footprint and on bags that occasionally fail to seal on the first pass.
The FoodSaver FM5200 Series is a 2-in-1 vacuum sealing system that removes air from bags to help prevent freezer burn and spoilage. Press the vacuum and seal bar to start. LED light indicators guide you through the sealing process.
An express bag maker uses a second heat-sealing bar to automatically prep the next bag. This reduces bag-making steps by 50% compared to FoodSaver V4000 models. Dual heat sealing strips are used to reach an optimal vacuum level and an airtight seal.
An easy-view vacuum window shows where you are sealing. The open roll storage design lets you see when the roll needs replacing. Smart technology detects moisture and switches to the correct mode. The patented removable drip tray catches overflow liquid and is dishwasher safe. A retractable marinating attachment is included.
