Which Vacuum Sealer do you use?
 
I've had a FoodSaver V2440 for a few years. It sucks. After maybe 6 or 7 bags, it shuts off! I guess because the sealer element gets hot. It used to get through 12-13 before shutting off . . . now I can't even do a package of hamburger.
So I'm gonna buy another sealer and would like to know what you recommend. Something that will go all day? (processing elk, deer, etc).

I just got the Cabelas one, not sure which model

I have one of the food saver units (not sure which model) and am not real impressed with it. Even on the manual setting it leaves more air and space then I feel it should. I eat most of my meat within the year so it is not a huge deal.

We sell a bunch of the Tor-Rey models. This is a true vac pak. Airchamber creates the vaccum and then package sealed under vaccum. Food saver and other models like this isn't really vaccum packaging, just air removal, but not a true vaccum. They are more expensive but over the years the bag savings can start to pay for its self.

Rival
 
I have a rival seal a meal. Have used it for several years with no problems

deerdust 08-22-2012 08:31 AM

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.

The Vacuum Sealer
 
Fortunately, a brand new wave of sealers offers less costly choices, thus we tend to set ourselves a value cap of $200 and acquired seven models to check, starting from concerning $50 to $199. we tend to sealed and froze strawberries, ground low, steaks, chicken, and individual parts of lasagna and monitored them for signs of fridge burn. we tend to conjointly portioned and sealed pretzels and cereal and keep them within the larder, sampling them sporadically to measure freshness.

vacuum sealer reviews
 
I love my vacuum sealer; when I asked for it for Christmas a few years ago, my husband thought I was setting some kind on sinister trap, where I would then freak out because he bought me an appliance for Christmas, wah! Instead, I was thrilled and immediately got up from under the tree to go plug it in.
I use my vacuum sealer constantly. I can buy meat at low prices in those huge packages, then come home and separate it into portions we will really use, without wo:devil:rrying about freezer burn. I use it to

The Best Vacuum Sealer
 
I love the <a href=http://onlinetechbd.com>Best Vacuum Sealer</a>! I half wish my old one would quit working so I could buy this new model, but I guess it would be a bit silly to buy it when mine works fine.
Sarah, I'd call FoodSaver and return it if it doesn't work. I had one that quit working once (after years!) and they sent me a new one just for the cost of shipping.

I have a Seal and Save from Sears a duplicate from the Food Saver only cheaper. Had it now at least 12+ years and it gets plenty of use.

This is a good forum for me to read. We thought about buying a vacuum sealer a few years ago, but after reading many, many reviews, it seemed to me that all vacuum sealers were doomed to fail eventually, and there was no product with long-term viability.

Ha! My husband seems to only get me kitchen gadgets for gifts, which I love, and we all benefit from. Who says you need something un-practical for a gift?

I bought a Zip-Loc brand sealer at walmart for $50 and haven't had any problem with it. I processed 5 or 6 (myself and a few family members deer) and packaged them and it never once gave me any issues.

Cheap and works very well!

Kyle_Jackson 04-23-2017 11:10 PM

Hello, what kind of food sealers can you recommend? At my work we have a vacuum chamber (Minerva I think) but I really can't afford a vacuum-chamber at home, so I have to settle with a sealer. Hope you can help me, so that I can start sous vide'ing at home!

Thanks,
Kyle
