bgcorn lol I bet yours is newer than mine. I have 2 Seal-a-Meal's somewhere in the garage loft that I used for years,, no vaccuum to them. They are probably 20 years old, and still work.
Last year I bought 2, Game Saver Deluxe Plus. The price was cheap enough and the reviews were good enough. I have not used the canister attachment, but the bagging feature works fine. I use it for wild game, beef steaks (bought in bulk), leftovers of any kind. I have no complaints about it. I got them at the end of hunting season sale at my local Orsheln store for about $130 each. Figured it would be best to have a backup, just in case. None of them are perfect, as you will see from reviews. But for the price vs positive reviews, this one seemed the best for the money. It also came with a box attached to it of extra bag rolls.
