Rating: - WARNING, WARNING Faulty Design Do Not Purchase
UPDATE to below: I called FoodSaver at 1-877-777-8042, spoke to a very nice rep, explained my problem and they are sending a free replacement because it was still under warranty. I expected a runaround but didn't get one and can't say how much I appreciated her response. There still may be a design problem (I'll soon know) but don't be afraid to call the company ASAP.
My problem:

The biggest gripe is that for such a large space, the grater area is too small for each grating size. A better option would be to have different inserts.

I just wanted to alert users of the foodsaver canisters that two of mine while quite new developed a crack in the bottom for no reason. Foodsaver's customer service said this sometimes happens and willingly replaced the defective ones, so if you have this problem and are sure the cracks had nothing to do with your using it improperly, don't hesitate to call them.

THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT. BEING ABLE TO USE A CONTAINER THIS LARGE THAT STAYS AIR TIGHT TO KEEP THE FOOD FRESH IS GREAT. I REALLY ENJOY MY FOODSAVER AND WILL CERTAINLY BUY MORE PRODUCTS SUCH AS THIS FOR IT.
Rating: - Avoid this canister
I bought one of these canisters directly from Foodsaver. Within 6 weeks I noticed it would not hold a vacuum over night. I also noticed hairline cracks in the corner. I called the Foodsaver company and they were happy to send me another one. Now, the replacement one has the exact same problem. This time when I called they stated that there is no guarantee on canisters at all. I never dropped or abused this item. If I wanted to replace it I would have to pay full price and shipping. (I have no problem with the round canisters.)
