Great when they work, but they dont last long

I have now bought two of the Foodsaver Turbo models. The first one did work for five years and was used infrequently, but when needed, it was invaluable. When it stopped working, we purchased a new one -- now about one year old and used perhaps 20 times -- and it has now stopped vacuum sealing. This is the largest two motor unit Foodsaver makes. Needless to add, it is aggravating that with ultra care and infrequent use, this product simply does not hold up. Really a piece for landfill, the cost is great enough and ecologically it is unsound to toss it, so repair is the only recourse. It will be interesting to see how Foodsaver responds!
