The FM2100 is the value pick: about $90, a built-in roll cutter and a five-year limited warranty. You line up each bag yourself, and it's loud when it struggles, but for freezing meat and leftovers it does the job.

Test results
Healthy Recipes 101 measured about 67 kPa of suction. It passed their sous vide seal test on the default setting, but was rated only fair at protecting crushable snacks and loud when struggling.
Bags
Edge sealers need textured (embossed) bags or rolls so air can escape. Avid Armor's 8 × 12 in embossed bags are $16.99 for 100, about 17 cents each; brand-name bags often cost more. See chamber bags vs embossed bags.
Price and warranty
Prepared States listed it at $89.99. Five-year limited warranty.
This review is based on FoodSaver's published specifications, independent test results where available (we name whose test each figure comes from) and owner feedback, compared against the other sealers we track. We'll add hands-on notes as our testing progresses.
Questions
Is the FoodSaver FM2100 good?
For the price, yes, and its five-year limited warranty is the longest we've seen.
