Vacuum sealers

[dukeboy_318]

Looking for some recommendations for a new vacuum sealer. My food saver brand one has capped out after many years. I bought a new kenmoore one last fall, never used it till last week and it's already burnt out. So I'm looking for recommendations for a heavy duty vacuum sealer. May go back to food saver but the one I had was finicky with bag choices. Thoughts?

Just got the wife a zip lock brand one last week, she's packing away a lot of stuff over this holiday weekend.... no issues so far. Works with the great value bags, which are much cheaper.

I've been using my wacheapy Zip lock sealer for about three yeas now . No bells or whistles , sure gets the job done though .

Check out the Foodsaver web site, they have several models with various prices. You can find some of them @ Kohls & Macy's. In the last 20 years I have burned up 1 and am going on 10 years with the second one. I use Foodsaver brand bags and have had very few problems with them. Many deer, fish, and hundreds of pounds of bulk meat have been processed, not to mention all the camping stuff I have sealed to keep it dry. I have found some commercial units available but they are high priced.

Got a Foodsaver from Amazon, and another on sale from Woot. After a short learning curve it is easy to use. Failure to seal is slightly more common with non-Foodsaver bags, but they are cheap enough to offset this.

Have had good luck with the Foodsaver, wife really likes the vacuum jars for lettuce.

Weston Supply makes a good one. I have the Professional Advantage Model. I bought them based on their positive reviews and it has been a good purchase.
