Chamber vacuum sealer

407BGE

I have a foodsaver middle of the road unit. It works OK but the seal is not perfect nor can it seal with liquids particularly well.

Does anyone on the forum have a chamber vacuum sealer?

I know that the start at $650 and a good strong unit is $1,000.

I can help but think that this would help in a number of applications. The cost is an isse but many say the EGG is too expensive and we all know that that's not true.

Love to hear from anyone with a chamber vacuum sealer and their experience with it.

I got Under Pressure: Cooking Sous Vide by Thomas Keller for Christmas.

He says chamber vacuum sealers are the way to go. The book lists all his vendors in the back. This is one:

I watched and waited until i found a used one on Facebook marketplace or craigslist. I paid about half of retail. I've used it daily for a few years now. The only issue I had was the seal bar and a cheap fix. If it went bad tomorrow I'd buy another one in short time. But they have a large foot print and are heavy as hell. Good luck.

Have a Vacmaster VP215 and happy with it, you can search forum for previous discussions.  At less than half the price I would go with Vevor if I'm in the market today, I'm cheap

I got the Avid Armor USV20 about a year ago. I like it a lot.

Yeah I have the VP215 that I got for half price but I would jump on this if I didn’t…

I don’t need this but I want it. Is this a good unit? I understand it’s a good price. It seems I was expecting to spend 800-1k. What am I missing?

No idea.  Take one for the team and report back.

Fair enough. Any suggestions on bag type?
