A food storage machine is provided that includes a film delivery mechanism, a cutting mechanism, a conditioning assembly and a drive mechanism. The film delivery mechanism has a support cradle for a roll of bag material and a feed roller assembly for dispensing the bag material. The cutting mechanism is disposed adjacent the film delivery mechanism and has a first sealing bumper and a shuttle member with a cutting portion. The shuttle member is arranged to cut transversely across the bag material dispensed from the film delivery mechanism. The conditioning assembly is pivotably disposed below the film delivery mechanism and has a heater member for sealing a portion of the bag material. The drive mechanism is operatively connected to the conditioning assembly and configured to pivot upwards to contact the first sealing bumper of the cutting mechanism and to pivot downwards to contact a second sealing bumper.

The food storage machine of claim 1, further comprising a housing enclosing the film delivery mechanism, the cutting mechanism, the conditioning assembly and the drive mechanism, the housing including a front housing member with a top slot for dispensing bag material from the cutting mechanism and a bottom slot for receiving dispensed bag material. 3. The food storage machine of claim 2, wherein the top slot is substantially aligned with bag material dispensed form the roll of bag material. 4. The food storage machine of claim 1, further comprising a housing enclosing the film delivery mechanism, the cutting mechanism, the conditioning assembly and the drive mechanism, the housing including a front housing member with a bottom slot formed therein. 5. The food storage machine of claim 1, wherein the film delivery mechanism includes a cradle cover for covering the roll of bag material, and the cradle cover is disposed adjacent the feed roller assembly. 6. The food storage machine of claim 5, wherein the housing includes a top housing member with a door section, and the cradle cover is disposed on an inner side of the door section. 7. The food storage machine of claim 1, wherein the film delivery mechanism includes a free roller assembly to guide the bag material as it is dispensed from the roll. 8. The food storage machine of claim 7, wherein the free roller assembly is disposed so as to contact the roll of bag material. 9. The food storage machine of claim 1, wherein the feed roller assembly includes a motor, a rod, and a plurality of rollers disposed on the rod, and the rollers are configured and arranged to rotate with the rod to dispense or retract the bag material. 10. The food machine of claim 9, further comprising a control panel with buttons, at least one of the buttons being communicatively connected to the motor to control dispensing or retracting of the bag material to control length of the bag material dispensed. 11. The food storage machine of claim 1, wherein the cutting mechanism includes a motor, a threaded rod extending through the shuttle member and a cutting support member, the threaded rod is rotatably disposed at the cutting support member and the motor is connected to the threaded rod, and the threaded rod has threads that translate rotation into axial movement of the shuttle member. 12. The food storage machine of claim 11, wherein the axial movement of the shuttle member moves the cutting portion transversely across the bag material. 13. The food storage machine of claim 11, further comprising a control panel with buttons, at least one of the buttons being communicatively connected to the motor to control cutting of the bag material. 14. The food storage machine of claim 13, wherein at least one of the buttons on the control panel controls the motor by signaling to initiate cutting of the bag material. 15. The food storage machine of claim 1, wherein the conditioning assembly includes a first vacuum chamber member having one or more sensors and a sensor trigger member configured to trigger the one or more sensors when the bag material moves a portion of the sensor trigger member. 16. The food storage machine of claim 1, wherein the heater member has a first bar portion and a second bar portion disposed substantially parallel to the first bar portion, the first bar portion has a first strip heater assembly and the second bar portion has a second strip heater assembly. 17. The food storage machine of claim 16, wherein the first and second strip heater assemblies are attached to an exterior of the respective first and second bar portions such that the first and second strip heater assemblies are oppositely facing. 18. The food storage machine of claim 1, wherein the heater member includes a rotation bar portion and the rotation bar portion is configured to rotate as the drive member pivots the conditioning assembly upwardly or downwardly.
