I need a new vacuum sealer.

Buying used is a gamble, but sure is a nice price.

good info,thanx guyz my old food saver needs replacing,doing fish sucks in a food saver unless you fast freeze the fillets otherwise the bags won't seal from the moisture.

Put a paper towel in the front of the bag to absorb the liquid and they will seal.

You should always flash freeze fish before vacuum sealing, otherwise you are sucking a lot of the juice out of the fish and it will be drier when cooked.

I still haven’t pulled the trigger on a sealer. I’m thinking of staying in a lower price range at the moment. I’ve seen vacmaster 380’s recommended, but can’t find it on the manufacturer’s website. Is that a discontinued model? I was thinking about going with an LEM 1000. Any comments on that model? I like that I can manually run the vacuum without sealing until I’m satisfied with the vacuum results.

I’m new to the chamber sealer game. I have used my foodsaver for about 6 years, doing several deer a year, in addition to weekly other items. My foodsaver is on its last leg, so I looked around and found a chamber sealer for $300 on vevor.com. I have only used it a dozen times, but I’m very impressed so far. The max bag size is 10x13, which is plenty for me. Compared to a new foodsaver, its not much more expensive and the bags are really cheap.
