I always vac pack my fish, some bait, the meat at home and other stuff as well. We sell a machine called the Evapac cryovac that is excellent for constant packing. No need to stop in between seels to let it cool down unlike some other brands. There is a two year warranty and we also sell heavy duty bags to go with it.
The machine sells for $220.00 at the moment
Boxes of bags com in small 100 and medium 50.
Both sizes are $37.50 per box.
I have tested this machine for the past four and a half years with no faults what ever. I still use the same one i started with. It has a safe feature that protects the element if there is too much moisture.
Let me know if you would like a demo. Otherwise i am sure there is a few guys on the site who have them and can provide you with some feedback.
i brought one from dave a while ago now and have used it heaps, i use mine for squid once cut up into meal size etc, also for meat and best one yet rabbits also :) never had any issue with it all.
The machines can be picked up in South Perth or Mt Lawley. If you are up North or in the Country, even over East, it is an easy item to post. Postage on the machine is $12.00.
I got a maxkon from ebay, was about $70 with a heap of bags. I have used it every week for over a year now and it works perfectly.
Dont buy pre cut bags. Get the rolls where you can cut them to the length you want. Works out heaps cheaper and is handy if you wanna freeze a whole large fillet, or even if you only wanna freeze a small item (eg 1 squid tube)
The pre cut bags versus the rolls is a personal thing i have found. Some like the bags, some the rolls. I know of a few people who have changed to pre sized bags. They have come down in price and are well sized. Our smallest bag is 20cm/30cm. I fit up to a kilo of fish in this size. All bags can be cut to size if you need a smaller one. The medium bag we sell is twice the size of the small one. So personal preference on the rolls or bags.
I have both the evapac & the sunbeam; the evapac hands down kicks the arse of the sunbeam in all areas (suction, sealing & not overheating). Been caught out a few times pulling a packet of fish out the deep freeze & the seal is gone, evapac all the way

Plus you get your F/W discount to. Cheers
Another vote for Makron brand from ebay been running them for years and at the price if they poop.themselves I have a spare for much less than the price of other brands buy bags by the rolls more rolls better price .

It is easy to use, powerful and reliable.

Buying something from Ebay with the name "MaxKon". Well if it didnt work it would simple be a Max Con.

Evapac
Can't go wrong with the Evapac, mine has never missed a beat and never overheats. Oceanside offers a discount to FW members.
I have a Sunbeam also (was my first one), it continually overheats and makes vacc-packing fish a real chore.
