Getting Ready to buy a Food Sealer need advice please.

I didn't think they were... just commenting they make a great package, and that a custom label would top it off.

I'll definitely consider the custom label, if I can just find the darn things.  ;D

I've got the Weston Pro 2300 and I like it alot. It was a bit pricey but money well spent.
I replaced my last two foodsavers after a little over a year for each one. The last one was a $200 unit that wasn't repairable (it couldn't even be disassembled).
The Weston parts are all replaceable.

I am also happy with the Weston pro 2300. Built like a tank.

Another option is a snorkel vac.  I have the Sinbo  http://www.amazon.com/Sinbo-Light-Industrial-Vacuum-Sealer/dp/B00GN2KU0O  the main advantage is that you can use flat bags, also called chamber bags, which are much cheaper than the mesh or embossed bags used in other sealers.  $50 for 1,000 chamber bags 8" x 12 "  http://www.webstaurantstore.com/ary-vacmaster-30723-8-x-12-chamber-vacuum-packaging-pouches-bags-3-mil-1000-box/120VPM30723.html    The best pricing I could find for mesh bags was around $160.

My parents just bought a VacMaster 350 Pro and this thing is very solid. It may be a bit overkill for some home users, but it is a very fine machine.

We packaged 56lbs of Venison Snack Sticks this weekend in a little over an hour.

I too have a VacMaster 350 Pro and am very pleased with it.
