I have researched about the best food vacuum sealers over the past few days because I want to improve food storage, reduce waste, and preserve leftovers more efficiently. I’ve gone through expert reviews on sites like Wirecutter (New York Times), Consumer Reports, and Popular Mechanics—and two models consistently rank at the top:
FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer Machine

Nesco Deluxe Food VS-12 Vacuum Sealer
https://www.amazon.com/VS-12-Deluxe-Starter-Viewing-Compact/dp/B01KCK9W1K
The problem is, I’m torn between these two. I mainly plan to use it for freezing meats, sealing dry goods like rice and beans, preserving leftovers, and possibly for sous vide cooking in the future.
Do any of you use either of these?
Which one offers better long-term reliability, ease of use, and strong seals?
Would love your recommendations or any other suggestions.
Thanks in advance for your help!
