FYI I've read may times in some BBQ and sausage making groups about them returning high dollar vacuum sealers because they didn't work any better than a low priced model.


I bought an older used Foodsaver after using my Aunts and have nothing but good things to say about it. I liked it so much I researched and found they have a better motor for the vacuum pump and it was originally sold as Foodsaver v845 Gamesaver Sport.

It holds a roll of bags so you cut them to size with the onboard cutter. It has options to cut only, vacuum and seal, extended vacuum, vacuum and extended seal, and an attachment hose to vacuum seal ball jars. It's easy to use and once you press down and start the vacuum it's strong enough to hold the vacuum and then it's hands free.

You'll have to find one on Ebay but it's worth the trouble. There's videos on repairing these to which is usually the 1/4" air hose or the seal which is still sold.

This one has the antibacterial tray, it's hard to see but it's in the middle of the seal. It catches any liquid that comes from the bag and it's removable to clean. It doesn't have the hose and sealing jar lids but they're cheap. The last link is the type hose you'll need, I would check Ebay too.
