@roosiebull Since you have multiples any thoughts as to our dilemma?
@The Guide Same? Thoughts?
The 215 is never a bad idea, if I could only have one, that would be it. I would rather have the vp95 over the LEM from Costco, I have the LEM and like it, but I like the features and reliability of the vacmaster.
The vp95 has limitations, but it does most things, and is night and day better than any sucker sealer, and way more versatile and useful, and no headache like sucking liquid in and not sealing, getting warm and sealing sloppy, or timing out doing production, etc
I assume the vp95 will not be as fast as the 215, but could be wrong. If you don’t mind the bulk or price, I would suggest the 215… if you want to upgrade from a sucker sealer but can’t stomach the cost of the 215, the vp95 will still be a great investment that will get used constantly, and will make vacuum sealing way better.
If you are on the fence between the two, you will not regret the 215, but if you just want to upgrade from a sucker, and have a handy countertop kickass unit, the vp95 is way better than not having a chamber sealer.
Just the bag cost alone makes things pencil out over time, and for me, I couldn’t get any life out of the sucker style sealers and they were always a pain in the ass… I’m not going to freeze stuff before I vac pack it, and with some things, if you don’t, it’s a crap show… even deer and elk would be a pain trying to dry steaks enough to not suck liquid in the seal bar, and have a mess at the end where the liquid ends up, etc
Chamber sealers rock, and vacmaster is a solid unit, from there, it comes down to what is most useful to you. If you are considering the 215, go that route, you will love it
