I am interested in purchasing a vacuum sealer. Anyone have advice on brands and models. There seems to be quite a wide range of prices. Are the expensive ones worth the cash Any help would be appreciated.
James - I did some research on this a while ago. The price of the models between brands isn't the big deal - $40 difference between, say, FoodSaver, over another brand doesn't make a big difference over the life of the product. The real money spent is in the replacement bags.Originally posted by James Satriano:

I had the model 1050 for a time before i ruined it. My fault not the foodsaver's. I went back down to BJ'S and picked up the model that they are selling now which is the 1080. If you go to the foodsaver web site they did have some of the 1050's on clearance for $79.00 but you have to pay shipping. I really liked my 1050 and the 1080. Several others here have the 1050 and love them. We all got them at pretty much the same time. I just happened to run kraut juice into mine thus it stopped working. Liquid getting into the vaccuum pump is not a good idea.Originally posted by Stephen T:
This is something I'm very interested in as well, but I haven't seen a model recommended. The price range on the FS'ers are pretty big.
Can somebody who uses theirs a lot recommend or disuade us from any particular model?
Larry - Do you have the snorkel one?Originally posted by Larry D.:
I have a Sinbo vacuum sealer, and like it very well. You can read some past posts on this sealer at http://tvwbb.infopop.cc/eve/forums?a=search&reqWord...rum_scope=1780069052
