The current FoodSavers are great, but yes, they do have the limitation of
sucking up marinade, particularly since one puts a lot in there. They must
have solved the problem or made it work. I'm definitely interested. If you
don't have a regular one, they are worth buying, and now you can get them at
yard sales for cheap. A great way to buy meat on sale and have it last
until you eat it without freezer burn. I give them two thumbs up.
