It doesn’t matter whether you buy a lot of food or a little, at some point you’re going to need to preserve it. You can freeze it, extending its life cycle and freshness a bit, but eventually, it will go bad. Chicken, for instance, can be safely frozen for 9 months to a year, but the longer it stays frozen the more its quality declines, so the taste will be off. That’s unless you use a vacuum sealer to completely remove the air and seal in freshness, which extends the time you can keep food preserved up to 3 years. Meat, when vacuum-sealed and placed in a freezer, will still taste just as fresh in 2 years as if you had cooked it the day you bought it. Typically, vacuum sealers were meant for industrial settings, but thanks to modern technology, they’re now available in the home.

The question then is where to find a good one for your hard-earned money? Positive user reviews always signal a worthy product and a host of satisfied customers. So, when you see nearly 5,100 positive reviews with a perfect 5-star rating, it’s a clue you’re looking at a fantastic item with lots of value. That’s precisely what the FoodSaver V4400 2-in-1 Vacuum Sealer has garnered. In total, it has over 6,300 reviews with an average rating of 4.7 stars. People love it, and we’ll dig into why that is below. If you just want to check out the FoodSaver V4400 for yourself, you can do that, too! It’s on sale right now for $117 with free shipping and free returns, normally $200!

Why Do People Love the FoodSaver V4400 Vacuum Sealer?

Using the V4400 is pretty simple. You take a vacuum-ready bag, put your food inside, and place the open end into the machine slot. It will automatically begin the vacuum sealing process and when it’s done you can take the bag, with your newly preserved food item inside, and place it in the freezer. It’s excellent for keeping meats and other food items fresh, like veggies or fruits, but it can also be used to save leftovers. You could even use it to meal prep and get your ingredients ready for the week!

It features a fully automatic operation that starts when you place a bag in the slot. It utilizes an airtight heat seal to close off compatible bags. Moreover, it comes with a retractable handheld sealer, and a pull-out drip tray drawer to keep your counter or table clean. The drip tray is dishwasher safe, so it’s easy to keep sanitized.

Sure, that all sounds great, but what do some of the regular users have to say about it? Some have proclaimed they are “in love with this thing,” saying it’s easy to use and has helped them change their eating habits for the better. Others say it’s a “great product” or a “great kitchen gadget with a purpose.” Because of how the items seal, compact and sleek, many users have noted they now have more room in their freezer. Ultimately, the consensus is that you can “stop looking for a food saver” when this machine is in your kitchen, and you’ll become more efficient by organizing your freezer and your foods.

What’s the Deal?

The FoodSaver V4400 2-in-1 Vacuum Sealer comes with a starter kit that includes an 11 by 10-inch vacuum seal roll, 3 1-quart vacuum seal bags, 2 1-gallon vacuum seal bags, 3 1-quart vacuum seal zipper bags, and 2 1-gallon zipper bags. That’s everything you need to get started. If you want to seal other goods, there are accessories to preserve food in mason jars, as well as wine and oil bottles, but those are available separately. Normally $200, you can get the V4400 with Starter Kit for $117 with free shipping and free returns. That’s nearly $84 off the full price and an amazing deal. But it’s only good for a day or so, so if you’re interested, act soon!

The Golf Channel’s Betting on Reality TV Again With ‘Big Break,’ Which Returns After More Than 10 Years
Person, Adult, Female

The Big Break was an incredibly popular show on The Golf Channel for over a decade. The reality TV series premiered in 2003 and aired 23 seasons until 2015, when it was canceled. At the time, NBC owned the Golf Channel, and the network made cuts throughout, which included axing Big Break. The series pitted aspiring pro golfers against a series of challenges. Think Survivor meets Wipeout. But the stakes were high, with the winner ultimately receiving the grand prize of a sponsor exemption at a pro golf tournament.

The series, which debuted in 2003, featured a myriad of skills challenges, including the popular “Glass Break” and “Flop Wall” challenges. And after NBC sold off some of its assets, including the Golf Channel, new owner Versant — in collaboration with the golf media company Good Good — is bringing back the popular series for its 24th season, which is being co-hosted by Bachelor in Paradise fame Wells Adams and former LPGA Tour pro and Golf Channel personality Blair O’Neal. The team is also made up of Good Good Golf’s Matt Scharff, who will be a reporter, along with Brad Dalke and Tom “Bubbie” Broders as non-playing team captains.

5 Tips to Man Up Your Interiors with Art and Culture
Lamp, Furniture, Table

At 17, I finally realized that my father was cool all along. His dad jokes were inspired, and his weekend uniform, a knit polo tucked into sensible khakis, was preferable to the ungodly amount of popped collars I layered. Now a well-adjusted 37-year-old, I feel similarly towards my dear grandfather, particularly in his interior decor. Grandpa outfitted his study with culture and art; he didn’t have a mancave, he had a gentleman cave. 

Entering your 40s, you’ve conceivably invested in a watch that will outlive you, but not a tip-top display case. You can confidently choose a bottle of whiskey and a cigar, but does your space need decanters or humidors? Should you acquire an oil painting to hang by your Neil Leifer football photography? Some leather-bound classics to accompany your TASCHEN James Bond coffee table book?

We’re only a few months away from our new Bond, Producer Amy Pascal teases
Clothing, Shirt, Adult

Since Daniel Craig bit the big one in his James Bond swan song in 2021’s No Time to Die, fans have been waiting to find out who the next person to drink the martini shaken instead of stirred will be. In true Bond fandom fashion, a whole slew of fancasts have started to muddle the waters as to who could possibly be the new 007. Callum Turner, Jacob Elordi, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and more have all been pitched as possible replacements. Some more ethnically diverse options like Henry Golding and Rene Jean-Page have also emerged. But, alas, no word has come down from on high to give us the scratch to this fan itch raging on for the last five years. That is, until Producer Amy Pascal sat down during her Spider-Man: Brand New Day press tour and gave a bit of insight on when we can expect an announcement, and also what we can expect in the cast.

I would say the end of the year is a good bet. We are being really, really methodical. – Amy Pascal
