Hey all, I have gone through a couple vac sealers recently and needing one for upcoming projects!

Maybe I just have bad luck with them, not sure. Just wondering what y’all use? Would you recommend it? Pros/Cons to your sealer?!?

Thanks in advance for any input!
 
I had Weston Pro 2300 and it got broken in 2 years... I am done with Weston.... Recently replaced it with VacMaster Pro 380... So far so good.... In fact, I would buy vacuum chamber (very nice and reliable vacuum sealer) but just couldn't justify the cost for what I do....

I just bought a Vacmaster 350 and I am awaiting delivery. Went with the Vacmaster based on reviews. I like the 380 but I would never use the larger size vac bags.

Justin. Them vac masters are a bit pricy. But you won’t go though a couple like you’ve been . Both Kevin and I have the 350. At least I think he’s got the same one I have...
And buy your rolls from Lisa if you don’t already. They are awesome.

Another vote for vacmaster, we bought a pro 380 around last Christmas and love it! Had a foodsaver for years and it treated us well but it was getting old and not sealing as well. Already had it in my mind to go with vacmaster when it was time due to recommendations from this site. Have had one problem recently due to operator error...my fault. But will say when I called the company phone was answered in like two rings by a friendly voice and she got me directly in contact with their tech guy...I was impressed by their customer service. I do believe I read in another thread that the 380 is out of stock right now. I have to call them back in the morning if I remember I'll ask for sure. They are a bit more money and take up more space but I figure it will last for years.

Sorry for the long post, just trying to be informative.

Thank you Ryan for the info, it is greatly appreciated! Customer service these days mean a lot in my opinion.
 
Waiting to see this request for info turns out Justin. I to will soon need a new one. I have a Food Saver that is done well but anytime now I look for it to give up. I buy bags from Lisa.
