Finally ordered one, hopefully get it this week. I have the Reynold's handi vac but I wanted Food saver for bigger quantities and hopefully easier to use. Those Reynold bags don't always want to seal.

The generic bags at WalMart work just fine and save a bit of money, too.
Keep your foam gaskets clean and moisten before use. That helps a lot.

FoodSaver® Vacuum Sealing System with Exclusive SmartSeal™ Technology
I've got the V2860 which I think came out right before yours. Is yours the one that is used in an upright position? Mine is an upright to store, not to use.
