    Whats the difference between this and a $60 Aldi one?

    Comes with bowl and canisters, its a commercial grade machine compared to shitty house hold one (id be expecting 8-10 years use, where as house hold 1-3 years)

    It does wet. Your aldi one does not.

    There is a vast differance between this and a $60 job. Though if your just doin steak ect buy the $60 one.

      I've had my FoodSaver (US version of the Sunbeam) for 10 years now.
      Probably a little better quality that the Aldi ones, but it cost US$70 back then (with canisters)

      • Slippery Fish on 05/02/2017 - 16:19

        I didnt say anything on the value, as im not 100% and dont want to research.

        Im just saying this is a far superior machine to the aldi one.

          …so I' saying that the one I bought from Amazon is still going strong after 10 + years, far exceeding your uninformed and BIASED 1-3 year prophecy for "non-commercial" units

          @just-dave: so your saying current day ones, not made like your 10 year old much better made and more expencive (140ish dollar unit after you add exchange and inflation [rough estimate] will last so long?

          Anyway, not worth an argue. My point is cheap China junk usualy has cheap China life span. Expencive China gear seems to fair better.

          Also my comment was aimed at aldi style unit as that was what was asked.

          @just-dave: is that not what your doing? You just seem to belive if you scream louder you are more correct.

          Ive used commercial units and owned 2 cheap units the first lasting 1.5 years the second is in year 2 and the element seems to not be getting quite hot enough.

          I pointed out that this does wet and afew other bits, im doubtful yours does but maybe, wonders never cease.

          And if you read I said most people will be fine with the aldi unit.

          Yes. Rudeness and incivility are indicators of poor breeding, and symptomatic of the lower class.

          @Slippery Fish: Most external vacuum sealers including the ALdi and some of the FoodSaver units have a wet and dry setting.. But in reality an external vacuum machine (even if it claims to be "commercial" or "heavy duty") really can't vacuum pack wet items.

          The "wet" setting just means a shorter timer. They can do moist-ish items by basically not pulling as strong a vacuum (defeating the purpose of vacuum packing?).

          For sous vide you'd do just as well with a snap lock bag and the displacement immersion method.

          Only chamber vacuum sealers (which tend to start at $2000) can vacuum pack wet items properly.. you could even vac pack a bag of water with one of those if you wanted to.

    • simulacrum on 05/02/2017 - 17:18

      The aldi one has a "wet" setting too. None of the external vacuum sealers can really do wet safely, you really need a chamber vac to do it properly. The "wet function on external vac sealers just means it won't evacuate the bag for as long…there's still a danger of fluid being sucked in to the seal area or even the machine itself if you're not vigilant.

      • Name on 05/02/2017 - 18:34

        In the aldi one there is that long "hole". I've read that people have put paper towel in there when doing fluid ones. Any that makes its way up the bag should hopefully be absorbed into the paper towel.

        • simulacrum on 06/02/2017 - 10:19

          I can see how this would protect the pump.. but generally if fluid gets to the part of the bag over the sealing bar, the machine can't melt/seal the bag properly.

        • Name on 06/02/2017 - 13:26

          @simulacrum:
          Yeah good point. I guess if you're doing that might need to do a few extra seals or something to make sure the seal is good.

      There is a vast differance between this and a $60 job.

      Why are you saying this when you have used neither?

  • DU99 on 05/02/2017 - 16:51

    Merchants should note that small reductions … will NOT be well received.

      Exactly this is less than 5% off if a machine that is about 3-7x more expensive than what most people here want.

      You can freeze liquids and put them in vac bags.

      I am so in love with my sunbeam one I bought from Myer. I've cooked large batches of different whole grains, mixed them with veg and some tinned lentils and beans and then sealed and frozen small portions. This allows me to defrost them overnight in the fridge, mix them with mint ,coriander, fresh veg and maybe some cheese and send my daughter off to school with a lunch that is so healthy and makes her classmates envious. I'd never go to all that trouble for a couple of lunches, but the vac sealer is allowing me to provide variety in a way that wasn't sustainable previously. I've now bought 16 rolls of of eBay and am happily bagging up leftovers so that I won't be as reliant on convenience foods. I think that in the future, if I'm making brownies or other items with multiple ingredients, I will just make my normal, but also measure into a few bags all the dry ingredients, saving time and washing up.

      • PJC on 06/02/2017 - 00:03

        That makes lots of sense.

    Umm a "commercial" vacuum sealer is a chamber sealer, this is an external vacuum sealer. I've never seen a butcher use a external vacuum sealer nor any restaurants either. What sort of commercial setting uses external vacuum sealers? Why would a commercial application require jars and such? Seems like OP is adding random adjectives to make their product worth more when it’s on par with an Aldi or Sunbeam.

    I have a sunbeam unit that is less than 3x the cost of this. Admittedly a basic Sunbeam, but even one with wet/dry function and a few extra features would still be far less than this one.
    I have noted that Foodsaver (aka sunbeam) tends to be the bench mark in a lot of vacuum sealing discussions.

    I'm not advocating for sunbeam/foodsaver, merely saying I don't see how this is a good deal.

    For those familiar with UMAI dry age bags, ive used that on a Sunbeam successfully and they can have issues on some other brands (according to manufacturer).

    As for the wet/dry setting, from what I can tell the main difference from what Ive been told is the sealer heat element stays on a bit longer to ensure any moisture doesn't impact on the seal.

    Anyway just my 2cents, as I get annoyed at the mediocre equipment that gets masqueraded on here as quality and value.
