Pros & Cons
Pros
If you are looking to upgrade from a cheaper food sealer this is a great upgrade. Restaurant quality in many areas. Onion, tomato, and sauce at the bottom of bag, lamb/beef strips at the top. I am a retired chef.
Operation of the sealer is pretty straightforward and easy. This is a big machine, but it does a heck of job.
Vacuum sealer machine for food preservation is an indispensable tool for anyone serious about sous vide cooking or food storage. The 460-watt motor is incredibly powerful and has been a reliable workhorse for all my food preservation needs. Fan-cooled... Read More
The vacuum pump is stronger, quieter, and shakes less than the small plastic models. It is adjustable/tunable in ways those cheaper one touch plastic machines aren't. This vacuum sealer is noticeably better than other high-quality vacuum sealers.
The wide 5mm heat bar creates strong, airtight seals every time. Food saver bags seal well, as do food saver bags. The adjustable digital sealing time is a breeze to operate.
Cons
The thing is pretty big. Used very sparingly. These are garbage for durability and safety. I want to smash them both into 1” pieces of useless “sealer” and send them back.
Highlights
Quality

The foodsaver units i've owned (four over the years) seem to fail at around three years with daily use.

Price
You get what you pay for sometimes, and this is that instance.

This vacuum sealer is noticeably better than other high-quality vacuum sealers.
Other differences include the weston being speedier and quieter.
I have no idea if there are comparably performing machines for a lower price.
