Chambered Sealers
-
Yep, they work fine. I wanna try double-sided textured bags in my machine outside of the chamber. I’ve seen videos of other machines doing it. Apparently the double textures allows enough air channels for it to draw vacuum inside the bag. Then you could do an infinite sized bag.
I buy my bags by the case of a 1000 and I buy 3 sizes. Like a quart, gallon and then about 2.5gallon size, that seems to work well for my family.
deanlorensen I’m a little confused, i thought all the textured bags had 1 side textured inside and outside of the bag. I buy the precut, an rolls… there’re all like that I use them with a vac sealer weston 2300. There is no seal button on the VP230 for quick cycle? Just asking a lot of questions because that a lot of money to make a mistake.

JoeB nah. they make a double textured bag too but they are less common and more expensive.
No the VP230 does not have a seal only button. Once you activate the vacuum process it does a full cycle even if you hit the stop button it seals and lets air back in. Closing the lid starts it and when its done the lid springs open.
What took me 40 seconds in my 112s takes me about 12seconds in the 230. -

JoeB Can’t speak for the VP230, but when you hit the stop on the VP215, it evacuates to the vacuum it is at and then seals. I do this for items that would crush to remove some air, but not all. I have found this feature very useful.

Thanks, you’ve been a great help. I too will have to pay up front. But it’s a good price $1179 w/free shipping. 60 day back order My Weston will seal 16” w bags. I guess I’ll use it for bag making.

Chef, thanks, good info

We were hoping our vac sealers were on their way but they are not yet. I’d guess in the next two or so months we will get them. Or at least I hope!

Jonathon Checking back here, I emailed your CS couple weeks ago and some guy whose name starts with J said this: I am unaware of any Walton’s vacuum sealers in the works at this time.
So I found a VP215 on Amazon but since Amazon does not take Paypal so I could use my linked CC points I looked on eBay, but eBay checkout with Paypal does not show my points so I can use them I went direct to the seller in TX and was able to use my points. Uh-uh, did not have enough for sure but I cleaned them out.
So now I don’t have a sealer that says Waltons on it to match my new #32, 50# mixer and 26# stuffer!Grandpa butchered 80 hogs the year he was 80. I buy pork butts to make sausage.

RandyNight Thanks for letting me know about our cs team not being aware of the coming products. We are hoping to have them sometime in April! So, if your paypal thing didnt go through on Ebay there is still a chance if you can wait. I tried to name the chambered machine the JT-5000. I told Austin it would be for the Jet Technology but in reality, it was Jon Tremblay!

TO-5000 sounds about right!

DO NOT get the Vac-Vida VS301! I bought one through Amazon in January 2020 because supposedly the company would stand behind their product. That’s a lie! Mine started giving me trouble in Dec. 2020. It would go through the vacuum cycle, try to seal, then repeat the vacuum cycle. I couldn’t get it to stop other than turning the machine off. After turning it off, the vacuum would eventually leak down enough so that I could open the machine > This usually took about 12 hours. I tried contacting the company but my phone calls and e-mails went unanswered. I finally bought another one from Ultra-Source. They are pricy, but I believe well worth the extra money especially if you want to package something delicate as they have the gas capabilities.
