Food Saver crashed. Probably our 4th in the last 10 years. We use it a lot. What you got for me? One caveat, we downsized from 8000 sq ft to 2500 a year ago so space is at a premium. Would love to have a commercial unit but don't have the room.

Vacmaster. My Foodsaver took a shi! and I cashed in some points on a Vacmaster 210. It does a great job and is heavy duty.

Thanks

Did you say you went 8000 feet to 2500 feet?

Food saver from Costco. Or a Vacmaster chamber sealer if you can swing a stereo receiver-sized one.

Know what you mean. We're in 1650 sf. 20 lbs of sh*t in a 10 pound box.
The gamesaver is totally fine. We've probably gone through 4 of them. This one has lasted the longest. I have had bad luck with the vertical foodsavers that waste bags because they need an inch and a half to seal.

Mine died a couple of months ago and I replaced it with this one. So far I'm happy with it.

Gamesaver Silver was OK. Lost in recent divorce. Got Vacmaster210, ain't looking back now. This thing blows the GS away but of course at a cost.A poor widows son.

I like VacMaster. I have the Pro 305 as a suction unit (350 is current model) and the VP215 chamber unit. I use them both and not a single problem. Highly recommend.

Vacmaster PRO350 suction sealer and Vacmaster VP120 chamber sealer . Use them both more than just a few times each day . Had many Foodsavers of all types through the years, started with them when they first came out in the mid eighties . With the Pro350 you can use the Foodsaver canisters just need to dial back on the amount of suction which is fully adjustable up to 27.5 . Foodsaver canisters will break on the high suction settings .Chamber sealer is great for wet stuff ,quick marinading and packaging leftovers .

I have the VacMaster VP215. Bought it with some reward points through work. It has been awesome thus far.XL and M BGE.

This has been solid for several years now. I never have to wait to seal anything.
It's not feature rich but does what I need it to do and replacement parts are available so I should have it a while.
BTW, I didn't pay that much, deals can be found.

I decided to give it the Food Saver a last try before it hit the can and it worked. I'm guessing we are near the end. Thanks for all of the suggestions.
