Looking to purchase vacuum chamber sealer.

[BC Buck]

What to look for shopping for chamber sealer?

Brand size oil or oilless quality What would do different if buy again. I see prices from $300 to $3k. Would like to keep price around $800 .

I got a Vevor about 2-3yrs ago but would have to look to see what size mine is later. Buddy has had his for longer and still ticking, he uses his way more than I use mine too. Then I had a coworker by a Vevor as well I think and he went with a bigger one I believe. I got no complaints here. I think mine was just under $400 shipped to my house. The one in the link is what mine looks like

What kind of cycle time for unit?

BCB, I bought a Vacmaster 215 many years ago and love it. Check out the Webstaurant site for a decent price on one. P.S. I just looked and that site has gone way up in price. Vacsealer Unlimited seems reasonable in prices.

I will have to run it to get the exact but I think I have around 25sec vac time and 3-4sec cooling time on it right now. I hardly use my LEM table top anymore unless I have to do a custom bag that is too long for the chamber, which isn't very often. For bags I have been able to use the textured food saver rolls and an off brand that is similar no problem. For the premade bags that are designed for chambers I have just bought a couple boxes of from LEM at my local Scheels, which I know there are cheaper options out there but I have 250ct of a couple sizes (pint and quart I think). The smaller ones I can put two side by side to seal 2 bags at a time. I do this for things like individual salmon steaks, bluegill or perch fillets about 20 fish worth I think or any other thing from mostly game processing that fits in the smaller bag.
It's been a game changer for my fish fillets, I used to have quite the wash then dry then uniform packaging process, unfortunately I don't get out much anymore so even though it is a time saver it's not like when I used to me doing it every or every other week during winter.

I had bought an Avid Armor about 2 years ago. My wife loves it and vac packs most every thing. Right before Thanksgiving it died stopped sealing well. Needing one I bought a Vevor. It's a little bigger than the Avid Armor one. The AA one was out of warranty. Cost $88 (ouch) to ship and repair is about $40.
So I'll have a spare. The Vevor is built like a tank

I bought a Vacmaster 320 in 2017. What a workhorse. Then our house burned down and lost everything. When it was possible, I bought another 320. 16x20 chamber. It was hard to pay an extra 600 bucks, it had gone up that much over 5 years. We cure, smoke, slice and bag about 200 lbs of bacon each month, and our work would be much harder if we were using a outside the chamber sealer.

VEVOR Chamber Vacuum Sealer, DZ-260A Initial Review

Did a initial video review of this unit. This was my first time using a chamber vac machine so I wasn't sure what to expect. Sorry for the audio quality in the video. I was having issues with my mic so I had to use a backup plan. So far this unit is nice to have and will get lots of use...

I'm still using this one and it is working flawless.

Here are some pics of mine. If I remember correctly it is the same motor as VacMaster

Wow, hard to be believe can buy a chamber vac for under $400.
