Vacuum Sealer

Seems like most folks use Foodsaver.

Do a search on Sinbo, that was talked about a few times.

Amy,
I have FoodSaver which I bought becasue of the lower price.It works fine.But it also says to partially freeze meat and wet foods.Otherwise those juices get sucked into the appliance.
I partially freeze and still put a piece of paper towel on the end of the food.Even ice crystals get sucked in.
I runa second seam when sealing as suggested by Smokin'

Ive got both Foodsaver and Sinbo, both bought off of eBay. I prefer using the Foodsaver but with the Sinbo's snorkel, I can control the amount of vacumn I put in each bag if I want. And I feel the Foodsaver works best for long term sealing and freezing. I have had some bags sealed for over a year now.

Amy, I have been using food saver for years & it works great. It does work much better if you pre-freeze on a tray & then vacuum pack. we individually saran wrap our meat then freeze in large bags. we have a V840 model which is a few years old that works great on everything, including bread ,rolls,vegetables. They're fairly cheap when they are for sale @ Target.

Thanks for all the replies. Guess I'll go ahead and look at the Foodsaver brand.

I have he foodsaver, the expensive "wildgame" or sportsman model- whatever they call it. don't like it at all except for eaze of operation. But-have really only tried to vacuum seal fish. for that I don't think it works well at all. maybe just my specific one?

We use one of the smaller FoodSaver units. It's just me & the Mrs. We seal two-serving size portions per pouch. It has served us very well. There are good prices for all size bags on ebay.

Another vote for Foodsaver - I also have the V840, couple years old but works like a champ. I use it a lot. I keep my brown sugar in one of their canisters and it never dries out. Keeps cheese from molding too - sometimes I get a bargain on a large chunk of cheese, I just cut it into pieces and vac-pac. I've had Swiss last over a year with this treatment.

Been using the Foodsaver V2460 the last 6 months and it works flawlessly.
