vacuum sealing machines

TackDriver284 · Nov 2, 2017

I went through two FoodSaver vacuum sealing machines over the years, they mostly last me maybe 3-4 seasons. I only use them to seal game meats during the hunting seasons. I am not sure if I want to buy another FoodSaver unless there is a better model that will last.

What brand / models do you guys use that would help me narrow my search for a new vacuum sealing machine. Thanks

Cabelas Commercial Grade units are built pretty well from the little I’ve experienced of them.

I use game bags from Lem for ground meat only , but use vacuum seal bags for steaks, cubes, roast, and sausages, etc. I did research on the VacMaster and they do have good stuff, but not willing to spend 800 bucks on a high end who uses it for numerous deer / elk each season. I just harvest 2 to 3 whitetails a season and I see that the VacMaster Pro350 is an "all right" but better machine compared to FoodSaver.

I think mine is a food saver 2431...does that sound right?

It handles a deer or two per year. Maybe a soup or chili at some point.

I've had it about 3-4 years I suppose. Hopefully it will last a few more.
