Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
This is from Costco and works OK. Depending on wetness and what goes in the film, it has a bad seal about 30% of the time. When it dies, I will replace it with a chamber sealer.
I've had a couple of the traditional style vacuum sealers as well as a Vac Master 215 chamber vacuum sealer, and a commercial chamber vacuum sealer.
The traditional models i have used have all worked well, but the vacuum bags are more expensive and I don't think that they pull as much vacuum as the chamber sealers.
The Vac Master chamber sealer has also worked very well for me. The chamber sealer can seal liquids as well as dry goods without any additional equipment. The bags are a whole lot cheaper, but the cost of the sealer itself is significantly higher. Also the oil has to be changed in the vacuum pump after so many hours of use. It's not difficult, but it is an added expense.
I feel like if you are only going to use the sealer a few times a year the traditional type will serve you well. If you are going to use the sealer on a regular basis or at a high volume the chamber sealer is the way to go.
Wore out 2 regular food savers, then switched to Cabela's version of the Weston 2300. After a dozen years, the sealing bar on the Cabela's 15 went TU. I did my diligence and found that the sealing bar on a Weston 2300 is the same as on a Cabela's. Belt and suspenders, I ordered a Weston 2300 and 2 sealer bar replacements. The advantage to the Weston & Cabela's bags is that they're heavier material than the Foodsaver and can be reused until they've been trimmed to the point of uselessness. The foodsaver will not adequately seal the Cabela's/Weston bags, but the Weston machine will use the foodsaver bags. You can buy the rools of foodsaver bag material and sack up books, pistols, rifles; whatever you need to keep dry. RB
Cabela's commercial grade. Bought it when they still had a lifetime warranty. Now that dipshits changed that policy years ago, hope it doesn't go tits up.
When it does, I won't buy Cabela's again. Haven't shopped there since they were bought out
Been really happy with chamber sealer from meatyourmaker.com
Doing liquids is a game changer.
This it's also oil less, every so often they will have a huge sitewide sale I bought mine 24%off.
They have both oil and oil-less pumps available. Mine takes oil. I waited for a bigger than usual sale too. Very happy with it. Costco has a LEM unit for a good price.
