Food Sealers

[shortnsweet24]

I have some Best Buy gift cards to use so I am thinking about buying a food sealer - I have never used one so does anyone have any recommendations? Particular features that are useful? Here are two I am considering:

SealAMeal Vacuum Sealer FSSMSL0160 - Best Buy
FoodSaver V2244 Vacuum Sealer FSFSSL2244 - Best Buy

[Think]

I have a Foodsaver, and absolutely LOVE it! Its very useful and I use mine several times a week at least.

PS: Glad you are looking at the 'bigger' brands, I bought a Black & Decker sealer first, and it was a waste of $59! If I wouldn't have had to travel 3 hours (one way) back it would have gone! I just took it to work, taped a sign on it that said 'Take Me' and put it in the breakroom and walked away.

I have the FoodSaver V3230 and love it. I like the fact that it seals without vacuuming. Sometimes you need that feature. I also purchased the marinating bowl with mine (bought it online it's cheaper) and it works perfect. I too had a cheap one first and it was terrible.

I love mine, I have this one

FoodSaver® V3460 Vacuum Sealing Kit

I think any of them that you get will be great, it allows you to cook normal meals and freeze the leftovers or cook up a bunch at once and you will always have a variety to choose from.

Best purchase I made (other than the sleeve)

Good luck to you!
