I have an older foodsaver, probably 15 years old. I do about 150 bags per year average, I'd guess. Some years more, some years less. It's really good, have to watch really wet stuff but for most fish, game, fowl, etc., it works really well.
Also, buy good bags. I bought some knock offs one year and almost all of them broke seal. The food saver or westin brand are good quality. I'm sure there's others, just what I've used.
