  • A game changer for preserving food freshness

    What I love about the Food Saver is that the vacuum sealing system has really helped to preserve the food’s flavour and freshness. As a busy mum being able to prep for school lunches on the weekend and save money by buying in bulk is a real game changer. I am also noticing that I have less food waste. I was pleasantly surprised about how easy the food saver was to use. Definitely would recommend!

  • Kitchen Staple

    Further to my review below, the FoodSaver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer has been well received in our household. I’ve enjoyed using it over the last 3 weeks. Items I’ve stored in the pantry are now no longer stale and as fresh as the day I opened it. Food kept in the freezer I know now will not be freezer burnt and just store well. I went and bought a bulk pack of chicken on special and divided them, vacuumed sealed and stored in the freezer. If I can save money thats an amazing bonus. I’m loving my FoodSaver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer.

  • Save Money, Not Wasting Your Food

    I’ve been lucky to be selected to trial the FoodSaver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer and have been extremely happy with it. I’ve always been curious on how they worked and made your food last longer. The unit itself looks good and doesn’t take up too much room on your bench.

    The FoodSaver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer has a number of different food storing options which is brilliant. You have the vacuum sealer roll, snap lock zipper bags and FoodSaver containers. Personally I love the zipper bags and FoodSaver containers as this is a much better option for the environment and can be reused over and over again.

    Looking at the product I was a little overwhelmed but trust me, it was super easy to use. It has 5 food settings depending on what you are trying to vacuum seal. For example if you are sealing something that is soft and you don’t want to crush it you would use the pulse mode which allows you to manually start and stop the vacuum process.

    The vacuum sealer can be used to store food in the freezer, fridge and pantry. Some of the items I vacuumed sealed were, chicken thigh fillets, dried apricots, celery, lemon and bacon to name a few. I really liked using the attached built-in removable accessory hose which retracted into the unit itself. Using this I was able to vacuum seal the reusable zipper bags and FoodSaver containers. When using the vacuum sealer rolls you are able to cut to the size needed and the roll is stored inside the unit itself.

    The cost of fresh food is expensive so using the FoodSaver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer I know that my food is going to last longer. In the couple of weeks of using the system I did notice food that I had vacuum sealed was fresher for longer.

    Overall the FoodSaver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer is a kitchen dream. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

  • Saves Food, Energy and Money!

    I love the 5 food settings because it helps me, hubby or my MIL preserve, prepare and cook food. It’s so easy and very convenient to use! Seriously mums, dads and grandparents will love how easily this FoodSaver removes air out of the containers and zip bags to keep food fresh 5 times longer. Now we bulk buy to save, then vacuum seal our food to prevent any spoils and wastage. It’s so much better than how we used to store our food in the past!

  • Foos saver multi sealer

    Love love love this machine. It saves me so much time, money and brain power thinking of what to cook for dinner. Meal prep is quick and breezy. We have far less good wastage. The machine is incredibly easy to use. And with its multiple uses I highly recommend this product for every house hold. The vacuum containers are amazing too. If I’m not using them for marinating or storing left over cooked foods in the fridge, I can use them to store dry ingredients in the cupboard such as rice, oats, or cookies!

    I can’t decide what I like best about this! The ability to fast track marinating as I ALWAYS forget, bulk buying and divvying it up to save money, saving ziplock bags when I bake school goodies without freezer burn, or making meal pre easy for hubby. A great product and highly recommended!

    I love all the functions and such easy use of the Food Saver! Prepped egg and bacon cheese muffins for the week, in the fridge and they were kept so fresh!
    I love the cutter bar it has to chop bags into the sizes you want.
    I also used it for sous vide and unlike other vacuum sealers, it doesn’t make a big mess when sealing wet foods.
    I love cooking, eating and anything to do with food in general! One happy Foodie right here.
    Thanks FoodSaver ☺️

  • Everyone needs one!

    I honestly can’t believe I’ve lived without a Food Saver Vacuum Sealer up until this point. I often buy meats in bulk or on sale and freeze it in little sandwich bags, in return the meat has freezer burn, is iced and doesn’t taste as fresh. We also buy traditional cured meats, which are a. Expensive and b. already vacuum sealed but once we open it, it’s sometimes takes weeks to finish and by that point it isn’t as fresh but with a vacuum seal, we’ll be able to keep it fresh for longer by pre-portioning it before hand. The FoodSaver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer is so easy to easy and seals within seconds. Comes with containers to seal leftover dinner air tight and fresh or meat marinates for a fresher taste.

  • No more freezer burnt items!

    I love the FoodSaver as it keeps my items packed really well in the freezer which reduces the formation of crystals and freezer burn. My food is fresher for longer. The zipper bags are super easy to write on also and I find this really useful for freezing as I can write the product, weight and date on it ie 1 kg beef mince, 5 July 23. Super easy to keep organised now.

  • This product is a must have!!

    Now more than ever there is a strong need to be able to stock up & store food. Inflation is hitting everyone\’s wallets hard and food prices have increased exponentially!

    That’s why I have been buying food in bulk when items are on special then vacuum sealing them for future meals using my new Food Saver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer. I have also been able to prep my meals ahead of time, vac seal them, freeze, defrost then eat. Which saves so much time and as a single mum I need all the help I can get. It’s super handy for saving leftovers and keeps them super fresh in the fridge, meaning less wastage. Another great reason why I love it is that it prevents freezer burn & it keeps my food fresh in the freezer for way way longer. In fact, the shelf life of many foods is up to FIVE times longer than with regular storage methods and if freezer storage instructions states that food could last up to three months, expect vac seals foods to possibly last up to a year!!!

    It has 5 settings that automatically adapt the vacuum and seal settings to suit your food.

    The best setting is the marinate programme which marinates food in around 12 minutes only by using vacuum power to pulse juices deep into food for optimum flavour infusion.

    It has a Container and zipper bag adaptor – The retractable accessory hose is built-in for ease, and is used to vacuum seal FoodSaver® containers and reusable vacuum zipper bags for fridge, pantry and on-the-go storage.

    Preserve, prep and cook!! You’ll never run out of reasons to use it!!!

  • Game changer!

    I have loved using our new food saver vacuum sealing system. I like to shop in bulk but struggle to keep everything fresh. The sealing system made it so easy to divide the food up when I get home from the shops and kept it fresh for so much longer than I expected. It took a couple of tries to figure out exactly how much of the roll I needed each time but now I am so quick at it! It’s just so easy to use. We love the vacuum setting for meats too.

  • New age way to keep food fresh

    This was the first time I\’ve used something like this and it was a game changer. The first thing that struck me about this vacuum sealer is it feels and looks sturdy and high quality. It\’s very big though so takes up quite a bit of room on the kitchen bench.

    With a powerful motor and reliable seal, it effectively removes air from storage bags and the compatible containers. You can seal fruit, marinated meat, soups etc freshly and prevents any wastage.

    I can preserve dishes or raw meat in the freezer with these bags that take up less room, meaning more space for the freezer and more opportunities to prep food for those busy days.

  • Easy to use

    Received my FoodSaver this week! Absolutely loved it! Easy to use and the FoodSaver vacuum sealed my food so quick. Loved that I could marinate my meats in the vacuum seal bags. Which also meant more room in the fridge to stack the vacuum sealed bags instead of containers and no leakage. Food stayed fresh longer and the meats marinated so evenly. I also found didn’t need to use food clips on any bags that were open as I sealed them closed using FoodSaver. I’ll be using this product a lot, as I’m a busy working mum of 3 and this means I can prep my food ahead and buy my meats for the week knowing they will stay fresh:) No more wastage!!!!!

How To Win The Family Wi-Fi War At Home (Even If You Have Teens)

Like most busy mums, I rarely gave our home internet any thought – until the complaints started. With two teenagers heading into their most important school years, me working from home and the whole family streaming and gaming more than ever, this year it became obvious our setup wasn’t keeping up with the pace of our family’s needs.

We recently upgraded to nbn® Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), and having access to lightning-fast speed options and a more reliable home connection has already made a huge difference. It made me realise how easy it is to sign up for a plan, forget about it, and not notice when it stops meeting the needs of the household – even though checking your current plan speeds, and whether you’re eligible for a fibre upgrade, is easy.

You might have heard the news – last September, nbn rolled out one of the biggest upgrades in its history. nbn accelerated wholesale speed on its HFC and FTTP networks, which nbn providers are now offering. Eligible households are enjoying smoother streaming, less lag while gaming, and quicker downloads, even across many devices at once.

So, what can you do to turn the complaints into internet that keeps up with your whole family?

First Thing’s First – Check Your Plan

Around 39% of Australians connected to nbn say they don’t know what speed tier they’re on.* That means a lot of families could be on plans that don’t really fit the way they use the internet today.

If your household has multiple bedrooms, devices and people online at the same time, it’s worth checking if your current plan is up to speed – literally! Faster speeds can help make a difference, from smoother study sessions and video calls, quicker downloads, and fewer arguments about who’s ‘slowing the Wi-Fi down’.

With the acceleration of nbn’s wholesale speeds on the HFC and FTTP networks last September, it makes sense to check if your plan is still right for your family’s needs and if you’re eligible for a fibre upgrade, all in one go.

Make the most of your plan speeds

Your internet plan is only one piece of the puzzle. A great nbn experience starts with the right internet setup. It’s important to check if your in-home setup is helping you make the most of your plan speeds.

I’m the first to admit that our home setup hadn’t kept up with the growing number of connected devices in our house. And it’s a common story – 62% of Australians haven’t changed their internet setup in the last two years*. And that’s despite the average Aussie home downloading eight times more data than a decade ago.

Here are three tips that helped me improve our home setup:

  • Wi-Fi router placement – Placing your Wi-Fi router in a central, elevated spot that’s open and uncluttered gives better coverage than if it’s tucked away in a cupboard or behind furniture. 
  • Wi-Fi router age – If your Wi-Fi router is more than 5 years old, you may want to consider if it’s still suitable for your family’s needs. Your choice of Wi-Fi router, and how you set it up in your home, could limit you from accessing the maximum speed offered by your plan. 
  • Wi-Fi coverage – Distance from your Wi-Fi router, and obstacles between you, will impact the strength of signal around your home. If you live in a larger or multi-storey home, you might want to consider additional wired connection points, or a mesh network to help strengthen your Wi-Fi signal throughout your home as your family members move around the house.

Why Do Faster Internet Speeds Matter?

For my family, it’s all about advancing along with the pace of the world – and keeping the peace! The internet plan your family signed up to when your kids were in primary school may not be the best plan now they’re in high school. The number of times my kids would argue if one was downloading something large and the other was trying to game or stream started to get ridiculous! 

Higher speed tiers mean more capacity so that you can stream, work from home and game online all at the same time with minimal disruptions. It’s about everyone being connected at the same time – whether that’s through smart TVs, tablets, laptops, desktops, gaming consoles or smart phones.

It allows my teenagers to download their projects faster and upload their homework more efficiently. It gives me the opportunity to work from home with fewer interruptions. And it means everyone in the family is connected in whatever way they want when enjoying their leisure time – streaming, gaming, browsing – without impacting anyone else’s experience because there’s enough bandwidth for my whole family at the same time.

What’s next?

As we head into the final school term of the year, it’s a great time to ask: is your home internet keeping up with your family? A quick check of your plan and setup could make everyday online life a whole lot smoother at home. 

Here’s how to get started:

Step one: Take a moment to review your in-home setup to make sure you’re getting the best from your connection.  

Step two:  Check your address to see what speeds are available, and whether you’re eligible for an upgrade to full fibre.

Step three: Speak to your service provider about your current plan and whether it’s meeting your family’s internet needs.

When was the last time you looked into the speeds you could be getting? Check your address and let us know in the comments.

# nbn is a wholesaler. Speak to a provider about a plan that suits your needs.

% Your experience, including the speeds actually achieved over the nbn network, depends on the nbn access technology and configuration over which services are delivered to your premises, whether you are using the internet during the busy period, and some factors outside of nbn’s control (like your equipment quality and set-up, software, chosen broadband plan, age of device(s) and/ or how your provider designs its network). For nbn Fixed Wireless, speeds may also be impacted by the number of concurrent users on the nbn Fixed Wireless network, including during busy periods (7-11pm).

  • Ahhh I remember when we had dial up as a kid and if someone wanted to make a phone call you would get kicked off. Those were the days! We don’t seem to have any issues with our plan. We have NBN to our premises and now my daughter has her laptop and we all have Googles in all the main areas, plus streaming on the TV. Our internet has never missed a beat!

  • I do think that companies deliberately make it quite hard to compare and understand plans as a way of discouraging you from changing. But it should probably be one of those things you check up on every year or two – whether you’re on the right plan for you and your situation.

  • Lots of great advice here truely. The plan is only the half of it and its then looking at your router, how much it can handle with so many devices connected at once. Its something i definitely should be upgrading but i just know its going to be such a pain to change everything over

  • I remember my husband talking about this upgrade recently and said that we can’t get FTTP in our area. We have Fibre to the Node, which is not as good, but still okay for our household.

  • Fibre To The Premises is definitely the way to go. We wanted to get it in our last rental, as our internet provider was offering a better value plan with free upgrades, but it would have meant needing to do work in the walls. Hopefully closing on our home shortly and it’ll be one of the first things I organise

  • One of the rare families without WiFi?! I do work from home, but only one day a week, so hot spot from my phone! My little man isn’t in primary school yet, so appreciate I’ll need it down the track no doubt! But want to put it off for a long as possible.

  • This has not been something I have ever really considered. I know when i signed up for internet i had options but I have not considered it since. Now that I do work from home more and my child loves games that need the internet, this article is timing and has made me think about whether the speed we have is right for our family. Thanks for sharing this article, it has got me thinking.

  • I have to admit that I haven’t thought about this very much. I just find things like internet plans and speeds deeply, deeply boring. But I can see that it’s important, and this article has reminded me that I probably should pay some attention to this and find out details and whetehr we need changes.

  • Interesting ! I haven’t heard of this nbn plan yet, in fact I’ve no clue on what type of plan we are. But we do have multiple bedrooms, devices and family members online at the same time indeed for study, down loads, work, online meetings, gaming and leisure of all kinds.
