Avid Armor Ultra Series USV32 Food Saver Vacuum Machine, Stainless Steel Chamber Vacuum Sealer, Vacuum Sealer Machine for Wet Food

We have used the smaller vacuum sealers in the past and have found if there is too much juice in the bag, it would never seal. This machine is awesome, I didn't have that issue one time. We raise chickens and process ourselves and it held up to a continuous line of bags to seal. Easy to use. Well worth the money!

I could not be happier with the purchase. If I would have known before what a chamber vacuum sealer could do I would have bought one years ago. I have sealed up almost 200lbs of meat so far and still am amazed. I have used the other kind of vacuum sealer in the past and never felt it was great for packaging meat, this one is perfect! I would say the real test will be when I take out a package after its been in the freezer for a while, but I am prettty confident that it will be as good as, most likely better, than my old method of plastic wrap and then freezer paper wrap. Packaging roasts and such is much quicker using the chamber vacuum. What made me want to get it was mainly for packaging my ground meat. I have used the stuffer and meat bag/tube method for years. While that method is a bit quicker than the chamber vacuum, I believe the chamber vacuum method is far superior. For one, the tubes/bags seemed to be of a lighter weight plastic. I have had numerous bags that I take out to thaw and they always seem to develop pin holes. I feel like the chamber bags will not have that issue. Another huge improvement is the way I can stack ground meat in my freezer. I would say that the same amount of ground meat takes up a third of the space than the tubes did. They stack very nice and do not roll around. Also, with them being flat, and thinner, than the tubes, I can imagine they will thaw in a fraction of the time. Honestly I cannot recomend it more. It is so simple to operate. I look forward to using it for years to come with all my packaging needs.
