Worked mine to death, already. Got so much frozen chicken and fish in the
freezer I barely have room for ice cubes.

Some models like the 1075 have a button that lets you do an interupted
vacuum cycle so you don't pump out so much air you crush things like
breadstuffs, which will happen if pumped to full vacuum. You also can't
vacuum pack liquids. You have to freeze the liquid and then vac-pac it.

Anyway, you should have taught your daughter how to make that stuff herself.
She can't even make pico de gallo? Can she breath on her own?
