I have a food saver pro It is very very good 5 years old no problems at all. I do around 11 elk and 20 deer a year not counting tons of fish.This was the 1st one I got and bought ot on a deal so I do not know any dif typs.

I can tell you do not go cheep on bags.This is the bigest problem I see that people try. There is some places you can buy bulk bags food prossesing warehouses.

If mine gat broak tomarow I would buy the same one in a hart beat.
