{"reviews":[{"id":7414990,"locale":"en_US","rating":1,"title":"Poor quality and service","text":"Can't depend on lem products any more. My brother's max vac500 quit working in less than a year and mine quit in 25 months. \nMy brother found the problem and fixed his. \nI ordered parts for mine and was told they would be shipped that day since I got the order in before noon. I called today, 5 days later and was told it may ship today or tomorrow. \nGood thing I had my 15 year old Food Saver sealer from Walmart or I would have lost all of my deer meat.\nPoor quality and bad customer service.
