We've had mostly Foodsaver brand and they seem to work okay for awhile but after a couple years they start acting up. Anyone have any recommendations for a long lasting vacuum sealer?

I like the food saver , only one I've used. Ruined a couple doing sweet corn , as the juice was too much and ruined the sealer and the motor was burned up. Learned to bag , and freeze ,then vacuum pack. Bags are said to be reusable , but I have bad luck with them after washing and drying . To me that's the bad part , the bags get costly. We have met the enemy and the enemy is us!

We've had it for six years and put up all the vegetables from the garden, five deer a year, and a couple of hogs. Haven't had a problem yet, and is not ridiculous expensive.

Every part of a Weston can be replaced as parts are readily available. I use mine a lot and it just keeps on going and going. Weston also makes the best vacuum bags too. I use mine a lot. We will process over 1,000 pounds of deer and wild pig each season, hundreds of ducks and geese, and a LOT of fish, shrimp, oysters, softshell crabs, etc. It is also very hard to over-heat it.

Plus with a chamber sealer you can vacuum seal things with a lot of liquid in it like fish and soups. I bought this after a discussion on here about them. I think Scalloper was using one.

We put-up two deer a year for 10-12 years with no problem even with the older models. We use it about every day and as with the other two, love it and would replace it in a heartbeat if it conked out on me! BTW, GameSaver rolls are heavier then the regular.
