Vac machine

Sun, 2019-01-06 13:42

 Howdy Jimmy                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         If you want a mid priced unit you cant go past a Orved Best Vac. I have been hammering mine for over 10 yrs, eg 3000 plus bags and it still vacs and seals like day 1.            I  m not sure if this unit is still available, but they make one similar and I think it was slightly cheaper than mine.  My vac is Orved   type Best Vacuum with auto and manual vac , pump, seal, 4x seal time settings.Master Butchers use to carry them. Also Staley's in Bunbury used to stock them and the bag supplies.

Hope this helps

Just bought a pacfood vs305

Looks like a ripper and seems good so far. Just sealed two dozen bags in a row and didn’t overheat or stall out. 

Bought cause heavier duty than a standard one, but still not a massive chamber sealer.

I’ve got the Tilia Foodsaver.

my folks bought it for their camping trips up north many years ago. Dads passed 21 years ago now, so the Reliable ole Tilia has been going 30 years now without missing a beat! Cant recommend it highly enough if they’re still available!!
