Wanting somethin a little better than the FoodSaver types you get in stores that last a couple years and theyre done. What you got and how do you like it? Dislikes? Recommendations?.
I got the same thing and totally happy.I’m just now on my second walmart foodsaver after 20-some years, and we use it almost daily.
I’ve got a Wesson 2300 and have had trouble with the heat strip ( it terrible) and just bought a $60 unit on amazon and it very easy to use and don’t use the same heat strip and does a better job , it’s a Cosori brand.I wasn't really looking at chamber vacuum sealers but do have my eye on either the Weston Pro 2100 (or 2300) but am also looking for some thoughts on a bit cheaper vacuum sealer the LEM MaxVac 500. I'm still undecided because like others have said the cheap vacuum sealers is what Ive been getting by with for years but mine's about on the blink now. I was hoping to get some "real world" experience from those higher end vacuum sealers I've been eyeballing.
You can reuse those bags several times, though.I've had a foodsaver going on 15 yrs. Seals got where they would work even after pulling them out turning over etc. Called customer support, they sent me 4 replacements for free.(only needed two) Works like a champ. They are proud of their bags.
If mine blew up tomorrow morning, I'd have another one by dark.I hear tale that my mother in law got us a foodsaver for Christmas. Can't wait to try it out.

Mine are long gone. It's like a bicycle vs. a F150. Besides deer meat, I use it for all kinds of stuff. You can freeze fish fillets with no water, and they'll keep twice as long as the one frozen in water, and thaw out quick. Cheese, meat, fish, veggies, all kinds of stuff. Want some dry socks camping in a downpour?Maybe my days of freezing in gallon Ziploc bags are over.
Do you mean 3240, or is there really a 3420 that I can't find? I probably should get my dad a new one, so he'll quit borrowing mine.3420 is still on sale I just bought one as a spare. They have two for one on the rolls of bags too. Foodsavers website.
