VACUUM FOOD SEALER MACHINE

Post by Magenta16v »

I may invest in one of these soon ... I see there are loads to choose from.
Any recomendations at all ?
I dont want to buy a cheap unit .. or an expensive one. Just one i know will work well.

A FoodSaver should be about the best you can buy, that is what I will buy next time

I bought a vacuum sealer from lidl, but some of the packages loose their vacuum after a few days, and there was no hose and no canisters you can buy separately.

I use an industrial food vac packer everyday. When these first came into the industry they were table-top like the Food Saver at Amazon. Frankly, I do not think they are worth the money. However, that is my opinion.

Ive got an Andrew James from Amazon using bags from Amazon I wouldn't recommend it.
I don't know if its the roll of bags I've got or the unit itself but I find the seal fails frequently
:cry: Up for replacement at some stage

Love my dealer for all sorts. Not impressed with batch of bags and rolls from Andrew James..........bags not holding Vacuum. Will have to contact them.
