Vacuum sealer recommendations

I use the food saver titanium it has served me very well .

I bought a Food Saver from Costco last spring and a couple boxes of the bags and rolls of storage bag material.

I've probably put up a couple hundred pounds of meat since then in the form of homemade sausages, beef and pork steaks, etc. and have had no issues with it. You just have to make sure you have a large enough bag made if using the rolled material to make getting a good final vacuum and seal to hold.

Thanks for the opinions on the food saver brand.

My God it's suction. It's not that hard.

I would rather not waste money on a dysfunctional brand and then have to purchase another one.

2nd vote for the Food Saver brand. We use the hell out of it.

Use the branded rolls though, the off brand rolls work, but about 20% the seal fails, must be made of a different material or something.

I have used a Foodsaver model 4840 for the last couple of years and it has been great.

I've looked at a bunch of them. The chamber sealers, the foodsaver brand with all the extras, and I've always gone with the cheapest option that's available on black Friday.

That's a $30 stripped down foodsaver that I've used for 3 years running and I use it for deer meat, shrimp, fish, casseroles, and everything from my garden. For the money, it's an absolute homerun.

FYI don't leave it plugged in when you're not using it they don't take power surges very well. That's all I got.
