Not to mention they take up more space.

I roll with this

I also use off brand bags/rolls. The bags are just as good as the name brand bags and cost a lot less.

They're great for sealing fish fillets right after cleaning fish.

Got this:

A little pricier, but love it so far. Has a 'express bag-maker' that seals the end of the roll after cutting. So one less step in the whole bag-making process.

I got a foodsaver when they first started getting popular, maybe 20 years ago. It crapped out on me about 5 years ago so I got a new one which is still going strong. I buy flour, sugar, meats coffee etc in bulk and portion everything out. I swear by them.

I have had this one for a long damn time its not fancy but has never failed me.

That is one we have and love it. The first foodsaver machine we had kind of sucked.

These are pretty nice and should hold up for you. https://matr.com/product/amerivacs-a...vacuum-sealer/

Yikes. I'm good with my $300 model.

I have a vac master 215 v.
It’s a nice sealer and gets a lot of use. Needs some occasional maintenance.

How long have you had it? Just got mine recently, after my first one finally crapped out after X-Mas.

They're great. Just don't let it and a foil pan fall from the top shelf of the cupboard and try to catch the foil pan and let the vacuum sealer land on your foot. Scraping and bruising your foot for a week and a half. Just saying.

With the old lady's purse you got lifesavers & needed scissors

Some good suggestions in here. Seems like food saver is pretty common. I’d spend 300-350 on one if I knew I could get a lot of use out of it. I don’t want to keep buying cheap shot boxes as I don’t want it crapping out when I need it most.

If you are thinking about it for sous vide, you can purchase the sous vide part and cook your food in freezer zip lock bags. This is a bit of a pain as the bags tend to have some air and then they float. But you can check out what the food is like.

Obviously not relevant if you're just looking for food storage.
