Meat Your Maker is having a sale this weekend and I’ve been noodling on picking up one of their chamber sealers. I’ve also looked at the VacMaster units. Anyone have any thoughts on either of these? I’d like one that can seal a whole rack of ribs at once, but that gets into the $3000 realm and I’m out on that. Let’s hear you likes, dislikes, and recommendations.

I have a VP215, got it on sale for under $700 a few years ago. Its been solid and I'll probably never have to buy another vacuum sealer.

I almost bought a vp230 but they're too heavy and my wife can't lift it. Not sure what I'll get

Vacmaster is the best for medium use. It’s Chinese to the core though.
You need to get into the German pumps to get a really good machine. I like sipromac and mini pack

Might try asking this in the “food” section.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I've had the Meat! model with oil pump since last November. It has worked great. Last week it started making an unusual buzzing sound during the sealing step. It was still vacuuming and sealing well though. I contacted customer service and they wanted me to change the oil to see if that was the cause. I did and it wasn't so I sent a video to them over the weekend as requested. This morning I received an email that Meat! is sending a replacement unit and also sent a return label for the unit I have now. Excellent customer service.
