What brand vac sealers do you guys use?
Always been meaning to get one but never really bothered. Maybe this is the snapper season that I eventually do get around to it?

Worth spending a couple hundred bucks or do the $70 Ebay ones do the job?

Mines a sunbeam one. Paid a bit more for it but had it for awhile now probably a good 3-4 years maybe longer and had no probs at all.

When I run out of the food saver rolls, I just get them at Costco :)
