August 21, 201412 yr comment_649508 Looks like you got the vacuum sealer, remind me, please, which one did you get and how is it working out? This one. It does very well unless you have liquid in the bag - it tends to suck it into the unit. You can keep that from happening by manually stopping the vacuum when the liquid gets close to the inlet. Not as complete a vacuum job, but it has worked for us. So far we really like it. Report
August 21, 201412 yr comment_649509 Thanks. Wouldn't that be a problem (in as much as it would be a problem) with every such vacuum sealer, or are some of them better about dealing with accidentally-sucked-up liquid? I see that some of the more expensive models have a moist/dry setting, is that what that's for? Never mind, I'll do some research (wanders off to gtfm)... Report
August 22, 201412 yr comment_649528 Eventually I'd like a chamber vacuum sealer. Dusty, with a chamber the entire bag goes in a vacuum chamber so pressure is equal on all sides thus no liquid movement. But they are expensive. Report
