The FoodSaver Preserve VS2280 Vacuum Sealing System is a countertop food preservation appliance that keeps food fresh up to 5 times longer than ordinary storage methods. This Costco-exclusive starter kit combines a full-size vacuum sealer with a handheld sealer for maximum versatility in food storage applications.

The VS2280 features four sealing modes to handle different food types: Dry mode for pasta, beans, rice, and cereal; Moist mode for meats, fruits, and cooked vegetables; Pulse mode for manual vacuum control; and Sous Vide mode for precision cooking preparations. The built-in roll storage and cutter bar allow you to create custom-size bags, while the extra-wide sealing strip and bag alignment guide help reduce bag waste.

The included handheld sealer works with FoodSaver vacuum zipper bags, containers, canisters, wine stoppers, jar sealers, and the Quick Marinator without requiring additional adapters. The matte black finish provides a modern aesthetic, and built-in cord storage keeps countertops tidy when not in use.

The starter kit includes a six-month supply of bags and rolls: three 11-inch by 10-foot rolls and two 8-inch by 10-foot rolls. Vacuum sealing can extend the freezer life of chicken and beef up to 3 years compared to 6-12 months in traditional freezer bags, and rice and pasta can last 1-2 years compared to 6 months. The system comes with a 5-year limited warranty.
