Chamber Vacuum Sealers

I bought the Max vac pro this summer, obviously not long term usage yet. But it meets our needs. Got it at Costco, if it breaks it goes back.👍
If you are going to seal noodles and crunchable stuff you have to turn down the settings.🤣
It comes with a guide telling you what type of stuff needs different settings.
It says you can put jars on their side in it, but it freaks me out thinking the jar will implode. I just bought the jars sealers on line, and love sealing dry goods in them.

Thanks again for the feedback.
It might help if I mention that I won't be doing huge quantities regularly. Other than processing a deer it will mostly be used for breaking down Costco/family packs of meat into two person servings. I also have a tendency to make a decent variety of sausages so packaging that up also. All of this is to say I'll probably only be at most a couple hundred bags a year.

This is how I used mine. I have it on a kitchen cart so i can bring it out when I want to use it, and its not far from the main kitchen area to do small stuff.
I have started to use it for everything though lately. the bags are cheap when you buy em in bulk, and once you get the hang of adjusting the times per what your doing, you can package leftovers quickly and not worry about em at all. I even pack most my lunches for work with it.
The first time I did pizza with it, without adjusting the settings, it made a nice brick of pizza even when opened. little learning curve :dunno: :chuckle:

The wife bought us a Vacmaster VP215 last year and it's one of the best purchases we've made in a long time. I found a heavy duty cart on craigslist to put it on .
The only thing I'd do different is buy a bigger one so I could do multiple bags at once when doing fish or game, but that would come at a much steeper price.

We got the lem vac master pro on sale at Costco it’s been great. Only complaint is the wide bags they sell are a touch wide and occasionally don’t seal :twocents:
