Looking for Vacuum sealing machine recommendations

[old sarge]

I just purchased a VacMaster Pro 380 right before Christmas.
I purchased it through the vacuum sealers unlimited web site.
Should I have went through Lisa, instead of the web site?

If you purchased it through the web site then you purchased it from Lisa. I think.

Vac sealed my smoked cheese and I think the FM2000 will work fine for my needs for now. I did 6 blocks back to back and no issues. I kinda expected a learning curve but was pleasantly surprised how simple it went. I also tried a few double seals that I plan to use for SV and that went just as easy too. We all had a good laugh at the sound!

Well, I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on this aspect of the process, so I went with a simple Ziploc Vacuum Sealer.
At $50, I felt the price was right for my penny-anty use. Danged bags are costly though.
But it has a hose attachment, which I wanted. I have delusions of grandeur with dry vacuum canning in Mason jars. Maybe even some wet work, like vacuum marinating.

But... if I was to have my druthers....
I'd druther have a Chamber Vacuum machine.

Shotgun Red has his take on it.
Quite the charicture, but makes sense.

I went with a sealer from LEM. So far so good. Doesn’t even get warm during use except for the sealing bar. Pricey but should outlast me.

Yep, spam. Folks please don't quote the links in spam posts - when the spam gets deleted, their link is still there.

Got it and thanks.

I wonder if LEM sealers are rebranded VacMaster sealers. Anyone know?

Somehow I doubt it. Single pump and no handle on the lid. No display. But, could be manufactured by the same company to different design and specs. From Alibaba:

Ah, I thought they looked the same for some reason. Must have confused myself lol

There are some minor similarities but there was enough of a difference that I went with LEM over everything else on the market. I gave serious consideration to a machine made in Italy called Vacupack but in the end the LEM seemed the better buy.
