I am in the market and have done a search on here, which was helpful. Leaning towards the vacmaster VP215 chamber sealer and wondering if anyone has any good or bad (leaving out the price tag) experiences to share. Is it overkill/am I better off with the pro 350? I am thinking the chamber sealer would open up some opportunities for marinades and soups, and I would hope last longer than the food saver machines I have been using (and replacing). Thanks.

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

For us the el cheapo Costco Food Saver has been great for what we need.
We use it for leftovers, self butchering steaks, chops, chicken, and fish. Couple times per year we will use it to make bourbon slushies.
I would like to take the step up one day, but when 90% of your food can be cooked on a mMx these days with the children gone....at least we know it is great for the slushies.

1) sealing bar wider than vp215's
2) no need to elevate the item to vp215's height
but I can confirm the VP215 does not have a port but the Pro350 does... I hated to have to buy 2 sealers but I use the container all the time to do a quick marinade.
Thanks,

Same technique can be used to infuse fruit with alcohol, make quick pickle, etc.
It's much 'stronger' than foodsaver marinator box. How do I know? I discovered the marinator box works in the chamber too, no need for port and hose. Trouble is, I went overboard (should have stopped manually sooner) and the pressure cracked the box
