Steve, congrats on your new toy! Enjoy and have a lot of fun with this sealer! I was considering this sealer before I decided to go with Weston Pro 2300.....

Steve I apologize that was my mistake on the OTBS banner guess I wasn't paying good enough attention.
Very cool gift your really going to like that thing and I'll bet you can't make it overheat I know I haven't ever gotten mine to.

No apologizes needed! I figured it was just a oversight. I'm very, very pleased to have this title. This sealer is awesome!

That’s a pretty awesome gift from your kids Steve.

Can you do a review on it once you work it through the paces? I’m gonna have to upgrade from my old foodsaver model soon.

I sure will. I used it to seal the 5 pounds of summer sausage I made a few days ago. At first use I'm very happy with it. It is built well and vacuums out the air quickly. The 1/4" seal bar seals the bag, even the thick ones from LEM in a matter of a couple of seconds.
If I can say anything negative about it now. Then it would be the size of this beast. Even with the roll dispenser/cutter off this baby takes up real estate. That won't be a problem though. I have a stainless steel shelving unit coming that will hold that, the 360 oven that's on the way, and a couple other things.

I have a somewhat older model from LEM and it too is a beast and utterly reliable.
