    PapaSop I don’t have a final price on what our chamber model will be yet. It will most likely be $899 though. Still hoping that tariffs come to an end, and if so, we’d be able to drop that price by a lot.

    Awesome. Didn’t know all the particulars. Will sit tight for a bit and see what you guy’s come up with.

      PapaSop Oh PapaSop, don’t be pulled in to the dark (orange) side of the vacuum. There’s a reason that the VacMaster VP215 has been around so long. Luv you Austin. And oil pumps are there for a reason, they last! It is not a problem to change the oil once every 3 years or so.

        PapaSop We no longer stock the Vacmaster stuff. It is still nice equipment and I don’t have complaints on the quality. I have other issues that keep me from stocking and heavily promoting their products. We still have it all available to order, but it is special order only, which does add several days to the lead time. I don’t think it is a bad choice at all. I like the PrimaVac 254, but we are having issues with Hamilton Beach right now. Not in quality of product, but availability and corporate relations.

        Ultimately, issues with vac machine suppliers caused us to go find and manufacture our own. That is in the works and they are scheduled for production in the coming weeks. It will still take us at least 3 months to get them, and most likely 4 months. If you don’t want to wait for a Walton’s brand, either VacMaster or PrimaVac is a good quality option still. Won’t look as pretty without an orange Walton’s logo on it, but other than that, they are just fine.

          Lol.
          Yep, that VP215 has great reviews and changing oil is not a concern. Curious now to see what they come up with.
          Being older now, waiting doesn’t seem to be much of an issue. Just means another glass of bourbon to bide the time. 😁

          But then again, anything with an Orange logo is good! Only thing “dark” is blue. 🤣undefined

              I’ve had a vp 215 for 10 years. Best thing I ever bought. Have to agree on waltons price tho, they just are not competitive on price. Vacuum sealers unlimited is who I deal with, there prices won’t be beat and customer service is top notch. The owner usually gets back within a day.

                Mark Spangler 0 They were out of stock just like quite a few of the places, they sell theirs for $995. Most are pre-ordering with a delivery date in February possibly.

                    I have had a VP215 for 10 years and it has paid for itself from buying multiple food savers and rolls. The product sealed in the chamber sealed bags will last for years and you can seal liquid products. When I make brats I need to freeze them prior to bagging or it will push meat out of the casing and the skinless brats will mash flat if not frozen. It really works great for putting up sweet corn, since the juice is not pulled out of the bag during the sealing process. If you found one for under a grand it is a good deal. I keep mine on a cart that has storage underneath for boxes of bags.

                        Yeah I agree, they’re spendy but. Here’s my dilemma. I’m on my third Food Saver model and that’s starting to sputter. Have their top one. Also bags are pricey and in short supply. Take the cost of the last three and I’m almost there. Besides, it would be handed down for many years to come. Didn’t know about any new ones but will be checking it out.

                              kyle It will be similar to the VP215 and Weston Pro-2500. I would say that those machines and ours are all very similar with only slight differences and variances.

                                Austin Thanks. my Nesco is still working, so I can wait for your new ones to come in. I just wanted an idea so I can look at similar models to see if that is what I am looking for. After 2 foodsavers and now on my third (nesco this time), my next one will be a chamber one.

                                  Those of you wanting to know whether or not regular vacuum sealer bags will work in the chamber sealers, the answer is yes. I tried it tonight on my new VP215. I used a bag designed for my Foodsaver and filled it, put in the new sealer. Wow, why have I been messing with the Foodsaver. At first I thought it wasn’t working because the bag doesn’t suck flat like the external machines, but when it goes to seal, the air is gone and sealed perfect. Just wanted to test to see if I could use either bag and use up the rolls I have.

                                      johnsbrewhouse Yeah, either will work in the chambered machines but the chamberless bags are more expensive since they have to be printed with texture so I would recommend using the smooth bags since they are less expensive.

                                        Jonathon Just wanted to check, I have quite a few non chamber bags by the roll. I just can’t believe why I waited so long to pull the trigger to buy one of these. (of course the price probably didn’t help). I’ll just leave the Foodsaver for making bags right now, then give it to one of my kids.

                                          Chamber vac’s are awesome. I think they will use any bag type except mylar. I love my vp210
