Looking over the forum,there are several references to the Food Saver brand of vacuum sealer. Really would like to get one and wonder if there are any recommendations that y'all might have concerning different brands, models, etc..? We're still using the Ziploc freezer bags and the Ziploc manual vacuum bags for our venison processing, also for the garden vegetables. Usually freezer life is not an issue but lots of folks say the sealers are the best way to go, especially when you get down to the bottom of the freezer and find something 2 years old.
I'd appreciate any guidance on this if y'all have time.

I use to have a food saver and have been looking to get another one. The only issue that I have with them is if there is any liquid in the bag it gets sucked out and makes the bag hard to seal. Yeah they have the containers for the things like that but then you have to invest in a big stock of new containers. I know that it will marinate meat in no time and really keep things longer.

I have been using a food saver for 5 years now. Use it all the time. Still running strong.

CrOck1, Bossman and fishindad,
Thanks for the replies! Forgive me for not acknowledging sooner 😳 . We bought a vacuum sealer back in March when we made our 1st batch of summer sausage. The thing works well. Have friends on each side of the argument about which is better, pre-cut bags or rolls 😕 , seems both have there place.
