Not a biggie for me and in my opinion the 3180 gives you more control over the sealing process. The 5480 comes with more accessories and automatically closes the window to vacuum and seal, with the 3180 you have to manually move the lever on the side and then press the vacum and seal button. If I start having problems with it I know costco has my back. Mainly because it was a little bit smaller in terms of height, it had souvide mode which the 5480 does not have, and costco's return policy is unbeatable. I bought both of them and ended up keeping the 3180 from Costco and returning the 5480. Historically it has been cheaper but right now is hard to find and all the places I have seen have it around the $200 mark. The cheapest I have seen the 5480 has been $160 with a 20% coupon. Thinking about getting the FM5480 or that new VS3180.Ĭostco finally posted it on their website: Has anyone seen this model before or has any info about it? It has a new mode I have not seen in any other model that says Souvide, my guess is that it might create a stronger seal on that mode, no clue. The hight is smaller than the FM5X00 series. It has about the same width and depth as the FM5200, 5300, and 5400 series. Can't find info about it anywhere on the web.
