Which Vacuum Sealer do you use?

I am going to buy one for the spouse, and only have 100.00 to spend. Its a Christmas present so I don't have much time left. What do you use and what about the bags. I'm limited to Wally, Kholes,Kmart and maybe BassPro shop.

We use a Kenmore I got at Sears many years ago. Still works great and gets the job done. As I recall it was under $100. Walmart sells Foodsavers for under $100. Make sure you buy extra bags when you get it. You'll need them!

I have a Rival Seal-a-meal from Menard I think. It has worked great for 5 years now. I like the bags that you cut to size and seal both ends. I can cut to length what I need instead of using a full size bag with alot of air sucked out of it. BTW I pre-freeze fish fillets on a sheet pan and then seal them in the bag. Crappie fillets after a year in the freezer were tasty and zero freezer burn.

We have a FoodSaver Professional that my Mom gave us for Christmas twenty years ago.
I still use it almost weekly and it still pulls an almost complete vacuum and seals perfectly.

I have two foodsavers. One in the house and one in the RV. Love 'em. I use them to vacuum seal meats, but mostly I use them to reseal potato chip bags and cereal. They pay for themselves keeping those things fresh for much longer than they would be just clipped closed.

Foodsaver here. Had it for going on 10 years, I think. Works great and is used at least once a week.

Had several different brands over the years but my current Foodsaver is by far the best sealer I have ever used.

I've had the foodsaver for a couple years with no complaints. I have found the bags at Menards are cheaper than anywhere else.

Sounds like I will go to Menards and look at the Foodsaver brand.
