I use one I bought from Lidl. It was only cheap but does the job. It has had quite a bit of use.

If your budget can manage it, I can't recommend a chamber sealer highly enough. The performance is far, far better than the foodsave types, and the packaging options are far wider. The chamber bags are massively cheaper than the embossed ones, too. Free next day delivery as well

SousVideTools® IV3.0 Deep Chamber Vacuum Sealer

The SousVideTools® IV3.0 Deep Chamber Vacuum Sealer is an entry level machine with a 300mm sealing bar which allows you to vacuum seal & package anything - including liquids. It features a 30cm sealing bar, deep chamber and a function for marinating foods.

Having recently "upgraded" from a La.Va tabletop packer to a fairly expensive Buffalo chamber packer, I'm afraid I cannot echo the above statement based on my own experience. The Buffalo machine is crap, quite frankly. I should have sent it back as "unfit for purpose".

This is true ^^^

I agree in this case. Buffalo equipment is invariably overpriced and unfit for purpose.

It's a cracker. I have a big Henkelman Jumbo, but completely forgot I needed a separate machine for cooked sausage This fit the bill perfectly, and meant I could continue to use the same packaging

Try butchers sundries they do both types and have an offer on one at the moment for £20

+1 for this. In a moment of rash zealous financial wealth I bought exactly this Sous Vide one too. It’s sat in the garage and the one I first listed above has just processed another fallow tonight. Enough said

upgrade to this a few weeks ago very pleased with it will do 100 bags in a row

SousVideTools® VS520P Vacuum Sealer

The SousVideTools® VS520P Vacuum Sealer allows for up to 100 bag seals in a row. Other vacuum sealers on the market require a 40 second break between bag seals, to allow the seal element to cool! It also have an easy lock handle, that was designed so no pressure is required to close the lid and...

El Cheapo still going…..my rules for cheap are (1) no fancy digital controls (2) max key parameters (width, heat element and vacuum) (3) 4 star or better reviews
Bonsenkitchen from Amazon £24.99

 

[Gadger]

In the middle isle at Lidl now for £19.99 got to be quick though cos they turnaround items on the middle isle for Thursday.
