Is that the costco one? If so I have it. You are a little limited on size but that's my only complaint.

I have that machine bought from Costco.   I am pleased with it so far and have bagged over 350 packages with it so far with no complaints.  It is a hair too small if you are bagging real big chunks of meat. However I have been bagging soups and other liquid leftovers and that has made this purchase worth it.   It is way better for bagging meat as you cut it up than the normal vac packagers.   You don't end up fighting liquids in the seal!   :twocents:

I've got one that I'm happy with.  I know that they have received some bad reviews, but mine has been pretty much flawless.  I did have some issues with some seals failing at first, but made some adjustments and no problems since.  Bought mine through Costco knowing that if it didn't work to my satisfaction I could just return it

I picked up a display model 3+ years ago. Vac sealed a lot of food. No issues so far. Every once in a while Costco has them really cheap. I paid $399 for mine.

At least 1,000 bags ran and no issues.

I'm on the fence with mine. Sometimes it loses the seal and ya don't know until it's too late. My Cabela's commercial is faster but the sealing tape has to cool after a doing a half dozen or so seals. i haven't tried liquids yet with the LEM. Had issues with it inflating the bags but I think it was from having too much bag hanging out. It's a toss up. :dunno:

I have a Chamber Vac and wonder why I did not get one sooner! My wife bought me the Vacmaster VP215 and it is a game changer for keeping things sealed and longevity.
I am not sure about the unit you posted, but I would think most Chamber Vac's are going to be 100 times better than any of those table top Food Saver types.

I've had this model for a couple years now and have no complaints aside from wishing it would fit a bigger bag.  Love the fact that I can buy bulk bags for cheap off Amazon.

I bought a cart from Harbor Freight for it for ease of use, keep it tucked away in the garage until its needed.
