I recently purchased 1 square container with the intention of using it to marinade Chicken or Meats, or Fish and I found it works very well for that purpose. You have to keep pressing down on the lid until it no longer expresses any more air. You could use the hand pump that comes with the New Ziplock Vacuum Freezer Bags, which are cheap to buy (about $2-$3 and also works exceptionally well. (I use them for my silver cutlery to prevent tarnish)
Back to the Freshvac, I would not purchase any more.
Tip** for storing "soft" fruits such as strawberries, etc, Use any kind of plastic airtight container, Line the bottom with 2 layers of paper towels, add the UNWASHED fruit one layer thick and again add another layer of paper towel on top, finishing off with the top having paper towel on it. Close the lid and store in the fridge, If the fruit was fresh when you bought it, It will stay absolutely perfect for about 10 days. I live in California and the strawberries here are plentiful, this tip came from a grower, and it works wonderfully. Good Luck.
