We got one as a wedding gift. We tried using it once. It went straight back in the cabinet and it hasn't moved for 16 years.

YMMV. I bought some of these exact kinds and no exaggeration, half of them failed to seal. I used an old and a brand new sealer (I originally thought it was my sealer being difficult) and ended up sealing probably 20 bags or so. Wasted 11, IIRC.

I have run at least 60 of them and have had ZERO issues, they have worked fantastic.

They just wouldn't work on either of my two sealers, so I sent that shit back. Wasting 1/2 the product just isn't worth it to save a few bucks. Went back to brand bags, haven't had a failed one yet.

And with thicker bags, you don't have problems with bone-in meats.

I used the zip lock brand and they don't keep for shit. Always getting leaks with those. Never get leaks when I buy the food saver. Also my vacuum sealer is food saver brand.

I wouldn't go cheap on bags. Especially if you plan on sous vide.

The only time I've had trouble with the bags is when trying to seal bone in pork chops. The bones sometimes puncture them. I use the Wal-Mart brand to save money

Can you wrap in foil or butcher paper then vacuum seal? I have never used one of these just by freezer bags by Glad.

As long as you put it in a bag, I guess it would be ok, but not sure why you'd do that

I just bought this one. Pricey but appears to be very good quality. I don't like to go cheap on things like this, hopefully it ends up being worth the investment.

I scored a NIB FoodSaver for $20 in the clearance section at WM. My greatest find for stuff I actually use.
