So long story but I ended up with 2 vacuum dealers after Christmas. I have the Foodsaver FM2000 and the Koios VS2233. Any recommendations on which to keep and which to return? Pros and cons of either?
Cash back vs store credit for either? Have any disposable income?
I've been eyeing the Vacmaster pro 350 ($297) and 380 ($378). Draw to the 380 is a 16" wide bag capacity if I wanted to do any packer cuts. Not sure if it's worth the extra $100+ to everyone though.
Yes expensive either route, but buy once cry once or something.
I’m not going to be using every single weekend. Just kind of here and there type stuff.How much are you going to use it? A dozen or seals on a weekend. Or processing 100 pounds of game at a rip? If it is light use then I would go with the foodsaver simply because they are a well known name. And they really aren't a bad unit for light use.
I had mine for over 20 years. And it has been a good sealer. It was just time for me to move forward since my needs changed.
Do you have a immediate need for a vacuum sealer? Can you return them both. And save for a better unit if it is what you really need?

I have the 350 and I have saved whole deer shoulders for grilling and roasting. I just slide them lengthwise in an 11" bag and cut it from the roll longer.Cash back vs store credit for either? Have any disposable income?
