Hey all...wanna get a vacuum Sealer and just seeking some suggestions on the best one for your money. Also where to buy the rolls of plastic or use only bags made for sealing. Thanks!!!

… I run a food saver brand for years… you can find the bags at the grocery store

I have also been using a food saver brand for years. Eric

food saver brand is way over priced in most stores that I see

I have ARY 350 pro's and they work flawlessly for the volume we do. There are older 10-14 ish years. Look up Vacmaster.

As for bags, online sources have been generally better priced. Its too bad, but most retailers choose to buy over priced bags then jack the price up too much. Was a manufacture rep for years and watched retailers do this all the time.

If you buy a chamber sealer you don't have to buy the special bags. They cost a bit more upfront but you will save money over the long run.

Check out the avid armor brand. Their lower end model runs around $280. Avid Armor - Chamber Vacuum Sealer Machine USV1 Ultra SeriesONE,

I use Foodsaver brand vacuum sealers, but I buy the bags on Amazon. They are about half the price the Foodsaver bags are.

food saver brand got it from my grandma

Hey thanks all for the comments !!! I am sure there are different sizes at least I know different widths. Anybody use a Weston brand vac sealer or their bags???

I like my Weston. Bags are a bit cheaper here. It is still basically a food saver, but it seals a wider swath, and I have fewer failed seals.

I had a seal a meal that just gave up the ghost, been looking for a new vacuum machine and they're all apparently chinese and the reviews were not good. The old foodsavers were pretty good but time marches on. Even the best rated ones don't seem to last, not sure what to do, I just packed a deer in freezer bags and put them into another larger bag....not ideal but cheaper than a chinese piece of crap....

Weston has always been a competitive brand to ARY. decent quality

Once you go to a chamber vac you'll never go back

I agree. I have had one for about 5 years and done thousands of bags including liquids and it has never missed a beat.

Love the Out of Air bags

Wrap tight in saran wrap, then freezer paper. Will keep a long time

I had enough of the rinkey dink work half the time sealers and bought a real one.

I buy the bags by the roll, 8" ans 12" widths, cut them however long I need them. My newest Foodsaver stores a roll inside and has a nifty cutter built in.

I’ve got a Nesco it’s been really good

… same here

For smaller lots the mason jar vacuum works good.
