Lem vs Meat your maker vacuum sealer

[Ronin75]

Looking at purchasing an external vacuum sealer and have narrowed it down between to Lem and Meat your maker. Any first hand information would be appreciated.

I have the MEAT Pro external. I think it’s good for what it is. It has some quirks you need to learn and there’s a rhythm/pace. I’m happy with the purchase but have realistic expectations of an external sealer. I haven’t used LEM so take my opinion with a grain of salt. MEAT also has sales pretty often so I’d be looking for a sale rather than paying full price.

Between the two I would pick Meat, but I prefer VacMaster

How is the warranty with vac master ? What is better about that brand, I’m trying to buy once, even if I have to spend more money. I’m looking for an external vac sealer

Neither - buy a chamber vac.

I paid $225 for that model just a few weeks ago and I’ve been nothing short of impressed. It’s very heavy and built like a tank. Most of those meat and lem are just the same rebranded Chinese models so skip the upcharge.

I have a Weston 2100 and it’s great. 5 years or so and no problems

FWIW, I've had a VP215 for almost 12 years now and have ran 10000+ bags through it. No problems yet. Change the oil now and again and that's all I've done to it.
