Food Saver Died

Ragingirishman2

My Food Saver that I bought about 3 years ago died. It was stopping during a vacuum cycle and just turned off, now its dead completely. I didn't use it all the time, I'm not prepping and vacuum sealing food every week, so it was disappointing that it didn't last longer. Is there another brand that you recommend?

Curious as to how it quit( not turn on , week vacuum etc ) personally but, I’d still stick with food saver , I have 2 and a VacMaster chamber sealer , food saver still gets the nod on many sealing tasks

I would take it apart and take a look-see, but that's just me

Without going back to my kitchen to see the model number I will HIGHLY recommend getting a low priced FoodSaver which are on sale ALL the time! I used my original one ($110) an unbelievable number of times over 20+ years. I just never understood wasting all that precious counter space to buy one of those $300+ ones only used a few times every week or even less!

The last Costco ad I saw had them on for about for about $75.

The Anova Chamber sealer is amazing for the price.  Bags are super cheap, can even use ziplocks.  I have a foodsaver also, but rarely used it because it was a pain.  Chamber sealer gets used every few days.

I am looking for something robust enough for my occasional pulled pork side hustle. Been trying to average price, power, and capacity. Reliability and warranty is a major factor. 

Is this the chamber sealer from ananova you use?

I think I’m going to to look at another food saver from Costco as I don’t have a side hustle to justify that expense.

I bought this one two years ago and it's still going.
