We’ve been FoodSaver fans for years, and have had at least six different models. And that is a problem. They are not suitable for heavy use, and don’t have replaceable parts; also, they can’t handle liquids or moist foods very well. So, when we decided to jump into sous vide, we started looking around, and settled in VacMaster VP210 Chamber Vacuum Sealer–a bit pricey, but a wonderful solution that we love! We have spent more on our series of FS than the price of the VM.
