I am looking into purchasing a new vacuum sealer, for my venison, this upcoming season. I would appreciate any recommendations or tips while searching (I haven't bought one in so long).
I have been using the Weston Professional Advantage Vacuum sealer, I really like it, but it's time for a new sealer.
I gift my protein to the elders in my community during the holiday season. I have been sealing them in FoodVacBags and I really like them, the black and clear bags are a nice look for a gift.
My sons are flying in for the season for the first time in five years, so there will be a surplus of meat and mass sealing.
I am a pretty brand loyal guy, which is why I have stuck with FoodVacBags and have had quality results with them. So, my sealer would have to be compatible with these bags.
I would like to stick with Weston for sealing, but my wife insists that I "shop around" and is asking for something that is "aesthetic pleasing" if I'm going to be sealing in the kitchen. My Weston is stainless steel, and she really likes that.
I am thankful for your time and any feedback. Have a blessed day.

I don't know if you would be interested in this but I use Asiana Candy vacuum bags. They are heavy duty zip lock and reusable and have a flat one way valve on them that you use a hand vacuum pump on to draw out the air. I use them to cook Sous Vide and they draw out every bit as mush air as an electric vacuum pump. I also use them to vacuum pack my game and fish. It may take a little longer but the end result is just as good. They also sell hand held small battery operated vacuum pumps for these bags.

I'm also using the Weston Professional Advantage Vacuum sealer, really powerful and durable. Loyal with that
