Best for the money vacuum packer?

I got the Foodsaver at Costco for about $200. So far, so good.

While the chamber vacs are considerably more expensive, the ease of use makes them worth it. I have this model and have packed hundreds of pounds of deer and fish with it. The down side to it is it's weight and size.

Costco has one on sale for $99 right now

I bought a Weston Pro2300 last year after using a food saver for a couple of decades. Do yourself a favor and spend the money up front for a chamber style like the Weston in the long run its the only choice to make. It is so much faster and easier to use, there's no pushing down to create the seal on the pad like a food saver so while one pack is sealing I'm bagging up the next pack so it goes nonstop and never gets hot and stops like the food saver did. I watched Amazon for a while and caught mine for $325 when retail is $399

Thanks, tired of dealing with water and ziplocks

I think the weston pro advantage is a good value, it can be had with a camouflage case as well for stealthy sealing.

im about to buy a weston 2300, couldnt spring for the money or the size of the chamber sealers. i think the 2300 is as good as it gets for the non chamber sealers and replacement parts are readily available if anything goes wrong. I have had bad luck with foodsavers even though i know people who have had the same one for like ten years.
