The only problem I have with my foodsaver is, after running non stop for ten mins or so, the seal strip heats up and I have to take a short break. I f I slow down some I don't have this issue. My friend has a chamber sealer which is fantastic. He got it about four years ago and paid $800. I'm not really sure why he got it. He goes out on multiple day fishing trips, then when they get back in, he drops his catch at one of the fish processor in San Diego.I'm curious how LEM, MEAT, vacmaster, etc all compare to the basic foodsaver ? Is foodsaver generally on the lower end of vac sealers people use? I have a foodsaver from when i lived back east and pretty much ran a whitetail through it per year. Ever since ive been running bigger critters and multiple per year (if im so fortunate), it's starting to show it's age, not pulling a great seal, requires a lot of fighting it to get it to seal, etc. I'm thinking it's time to upgrade over the winter.
