    I was watching Cannacribs featuring this state of the art 10 acre indoor growing facility. Millions in equipment. Millions in product. They were using Cabelas bags to store it for shipment. I was surprised that at even one quality product has managed to survive the Bass Pro merger...

    We sold the thing at a yard sale. Buyer beware.

    She's not a stripper yet. I give that a few more years.

    I'd assume not as much pressure.

    I’ve got one going on five years. Meat, leftovers, vegetables etc. at least once a week and it has served me well. I had an issue with the first one and they just sent me a newer model that was comparable with a shipping label to send the other one back. Customer service was great.

    Get an LEM Vac Chamber. 5-10 cent per bag from Walton’s. I have 2 of them.

    Same here if not older. Never have to wait between bags to seal



    There are better ones but depends on how much you wanting to spend

    Mine has worked for me just fine. In fact back in spring and early summer my sister got me one of those 40lb boxes of boneless chicken breast that they were selling off trucks here in Upstate . 2 different times she got us a box and I broke the breast down in meal size portions for wife and myself and vacuum sealed them all. Never had an issue either time . Probably most I had ever sealed at any one time since i had the Foodsaver

    Y'all must have the nicer FoodSavers. When we make sausage out of a deer we run two at the same time so when we are sealing when one gets hot(3-4 bags) we just switch to the other. Both are 5+ years old. Ended up picking up a LEM VACMax250 yesterday from sportsmans. It claims to be able seal 250 times without stopping. You can hear the interior fan running when I used it last night. I will say that the cutter isn't as smooth as the Foodsaver but I can get over that if I can seal 250 times without stopping
