ctafoya Report post Posted September 14, 2022 I think mine is called Foodsaver. I use the heck out of it. No issues in over 10 years with it. Bags are easy to get anywhere. That LEM is probably better though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have found it is very cheap to get the bags on Amazon. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewlyMinted Report post Posted September 14, 2022 I moved from a foodsaver to the big AVID Armor chamber sealer. It's awesome and half the price off most chamber sealers. Had it for a year, and no issues. The foodsaver is still needed if you have really long packages, but for fish it's extended the freezer life with no burn and works great on liquid.

Heat Report post Posted September 14, 2022 I have a basic 12" model from Cabelas. Works fine for my occassional use. I keep it super clean and use good bags and have had zero issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted September 14, 2022 Have the commercial Waring sealer. A little messy on liquids but we got around that by chilling wet items first. My ol lady is customer service director for Waring/Cuisinart. Part of the job means we get to test everything they sell even before it's on the market. Bread machines, food processors, air fryers, dehydrators...it's tough. And after putting them through the paces, they're used, we keep what we like. Just saying. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I Kill one every 3-4 years, usually keep a new spare in the garage if I find them on sale. I have not been impressed, looking for a better brand for my next one. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
