After several weeks of searching and thinking, reading posts on a variety of nonsmoking forums, I ordered the LEM MaxVac 1088A today. Very few reviews. LEM had it on sale and by signing up for email notifications, I received an additional 10% off. Not inexpensive for sure. The VacMaster 380 and Weston 2300 had very similar appearance but a dissimilar price. Looked at an Italian made machine from VacuPack but far too expensive. Chose the LEM because of it's 5 year warranty. Here's hoping I made a good choice. Time and use will tell.
