Thought I'd try out the vacuum packers to go with my Ozbargain Anova Sous Vide. Tried two of the Kmart Homemaker ones. Both faulty units out of the box so I thought I'd try this one.Credit to SFK for the Extra 10% off post. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/285381. Reviews seem mixed but it's got to be better than the Homemaker ones.

    will you have to buy the sunbeam bags for it or are you able to use any bag with it?
    also considering it for the anova but wondering how the consumables compare afterwards?

    Sous Vide is a trend I just shake my head at.
    All plastics will release potentially harmful chemicals when heated.
    Half the population is freaking out about leaving water bottles in hot cars, the other is cooking their food covered in plastic. Generally speaking, the softer or more heated common plastics are, the more harmful chemicals will be released.
    A truly bad idea.

      Not according to scientists.

      I wonder if the people freaking out about plastic consume canned goods of any type where BPA has been used as a liner since forever?

        Ahhh Diji,
        Its easy to shout "incorrect" isn't it? Loses is effect if you can't actually offer plausible counter assertions. You chose to mention BPAs, well it so happens BPAs are perhaps the most well known of the harmful chemicals associated with soft plastics. They are endocrine disruptors - they mimic human hormones.
        If you don't know anything about this you've done an amazing job of ignoring as it is such a commonly understood problem that half the plastics sold in supermarkets are marketed as BPA-free these days.
        There are endless sources available. I chose this randomly.

        This has nothing to do with vaccinations. Is hard science in relation to plastics not fringe nonsense around vaccinations.
        Totally different issues.

          Is hard science in relation to plastics
          ^^ stating a hypothesis without stating your sources is not science.

          —

          All plastics will release potentially harmful chemicals when heated.
          ^^ when heated to what temperature? Is it safe to sell them at room temperature in hot climates?

          the softer or more heated common plastics are, the more harmful chemicals will be released.
          ^^ the only relevant plastic is the ones used for sous vide. Should be easy to find testing of such plastics.

          —

          Hard science to support your argument would be a peer reviewed article in a respectable journal that suggests a correlation between %age of a specific chemical released from a specific type of plastic through a range of temperatures, completed after an exhausting quantity of labwork.

          @Chuckler:
          They are valid points, Chuckler. I have linked a published US Govt. source for you below.
          My point was to separate the well documented dangers of heated soft plastics leaching chemicals such as BPAs from the fringe nonsense of the nonsence of the vaccinaction debate. In the case of BPAs I'm sure you saw the American Scientist article linked above.
          Here is a published study from the US National Institute of
          Environmental Health Sciences https://www.niehs.nih.gov asserting that "Most Plastic Products Release Estrogenic Chemicals" (when exposed to common use stresses) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/?term=10.1289/ehp.1003220

    I've used this one for over 3 years now, and it has done well. It has an inbuilt bag cutter so you can have custom sizes to suit your needs. The bags they sell are also good quality as the bag thickness is good. Local warranty and good customer service. I am not associated with these guys at all also.

      you use these bags with your VS4300?

      • sikdailo on 01/01/2017 - 19:29

        Sorry, I meant I have the Luvele unit.

  • Maria11 on 01/01/2017 - 14:50

    Is it worth getting the more expensive Foodsavers from Sunbeam?

    I got a Luvele one off ebay which seems pretty good. They also have 'safe' plastic roll and some good quality glass containers that you can use with some models of their sealers.
