Looking for Vacuum Sealer [General]
2010 May 17
Food Saver is the defacto standard. There is a huge selection of them with various features. They used to have a big matrix on their website to let you compare model numbers. The biggest difference that I recall is that some of them have the jar sealer port for the jar attachment, and some do not. I highly recommend it, personally. There are also features like "automatic seal" and stuff like that. I have manual.
Some of the later models are designed with the huge flap down the front which best I can tell was simply designed to make you waste more bag material and thereby boost their profit margins. Pretty disgusting move if you ask me.
You can get good deals on Food Saver at Costco, and various other places like Home Sense and Wal Mart. Compare model numbers and prices because there is not always one best place to go for best price.
Preston Hardware has them as well, and also has a couple of really heavy duty commercial grade Italian made ones (forget the brand name) that are really nice, but pricey of course. But my food saver does a fantastic job and I have no complaints at all.
