What kind of food sealer to get for sous vide cooking?

Easy choice, chamber sealer. If you aren’t doing large quantities I’d look at some like that avid armor series.

Getting one for Christmas. So, I don’t know yet!

May try a prime rib first.

A few years ago, I couldn’t decide among all the brands and models. Then after Christmas they had a basic Food Saver for about $25, so I took a shot. Works great years later. Use it for sous vide (did zip locks before, but this is better and less leak prone) and freezing steaks, garden produce, leftovers, etc.

So based on my experience, just get a cheap model and blow the saved money on wagyu or whiskey.

This is the way. I use my $40 Food Saver weekly and its gotta have 5+ years on it by now. Also, you can buy the bags on a roll from Webrestaurantstore.com, they're cheap and work really well.

Seconded. Or thirded. Works great years later and cut bags to needed length.

You can get by with a Chevy/foodsaver for everything the normal home cook will put in a sous vide

larger items and moist/wet items will be easier with something more expensive

I bought the regular cut your own size bag food saver they sell at Costco and have been using it for years with no issues.
