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.
LOL Tim , good tradie never blames his tools mate . Ive had a fancy 1 for 10 years ,although it is overheating a bit now and i cant find a replacement cutter blade for the thing.
just looked at the tye of sunbeam. its a 550 food saver. nothing flash but works great did up around 30 packs this week one after the other and no probs at all. the machine is about 10 yo
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!!

Just bought a pacfood
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.
