Bob Stehlik ok, i was confused… 2nd thing that stops working after 70
Thought you were talking about a vac chamber 380 that would be a monster because my vac chamber 230 is 100lbs -

JoeB I’ve got a food saver right now for a non chambered unit. Really looking for a chambered one, just want to make sure I get one that will meet my needs.

Midwest_kc Now I understand, i moved up from a food saver to a master pro 2300 apx 10 yrs ago. It is a good product and did a great job for me. More labor intense than a vac chamber, but also expedientialy less expensive. Chambers are wonderful, and i use mine often, but i still fall back on my vac sealer 2300 for big boy stuff with no liquids… I would do the $300 and grow into the $1700 in time. One last thing, over the last 10yrs with my 2300, i have bagged 1000+. Replaced the seals once, and the heat wire once. Both cost under $15 easy repair. Best to buy what you need, not what you want… That’s my rule. joe

I am a little ashamed, yet proud to admit that I have the cheapest model of Food Saver vac sealer that I found on sale at Menards for $95 over 12 years ago. It has served me well and keeps on sealing perfect packages as long as I feed it quality film.
I am sure some day it will die, and I will need to upgrade, but until then, it keeps soldiering on. -
Trying to decide on a upgrade from my food saver. It would be for processing wild game. Looking at weston 2300, weston 2600 and weston 3000. Found a 2300 for $250 but not sure to buy it because mixed reviews breaking in a year or less.

Chamber sealer is the only way to go! I’ve got a VacMaster 215 and have had it for about 4-5 years and love it!

I want to be able to do fresh veggies too. Make salads and other delicate veggies last longer. In order to do that I need a machine with an accessory port so I can seal such items in vacuum containers or Mason jars. I am not sure if a chamber sealer with gas exchange will work for that or not. Otherwise I would need to get both a vacuum sealer and a chamber sealer to properly do all of the things we want to do. Anyone know of a chamber unit that also does vacuum sealing? Or is a chamber sealer with gas exchange the way to go?

Food saver has a high end model with a vac port and a marinate function. For around $30 you need the vac topper for the jars, and a marinate container for that function. Saw a hack on making a pressure cooker into a vac chamber for jars. number of jars and size depended on the size of the cooker. $60 vac pump fm HF, and a few feet of hose. the cooker could be used as intended after, it wasn’t altered . They were vac canning grains, rice, and non refrigerated food items. Didn’t alter the need to refrigerate perishables. They just stayed fresh longer.

I have a vacmaster vp210 with the oilers pump, have had it for about 4 years or 5 maybe now… have sealed A LOT of stuff… thousands and thousands of bags and absolutely love it, will eventually have a nice floor model to expand my abilities for expanding the business but for now, love these chambered table tops

RJ Adventures I agree, I have likely sealed 15,000 bags over the years with the VP210. It will most definitely outlive me.

Yeah I was concerned as to whether or not to get an oil less or oil one they say oiless will last a lifetime and oil generations lol but it should get my money’s worth that’s all I care about!
