Best of: Chamber Vacuum Sealer

Yup. I've been using the VacMaster VP112 for a few years. It's a great device and much more affordable than the VP210/215, but I'm ready to move up. The only issue with the VP112 is that its only replaceable part - the sealer bar - fails pretty regularly and needs replacing. I've heard from others who went for the bigger VP210 that the sealer bar doesn't need to be replaced often at all.
The increased capacity of the VP215 would be great, but definitely be aware that these things are not small. The VP215 weighs 85 lbs and is over a foot tall, almost two feet wide and almost a foot and a half deep. I want it bad enough to carve out the space, but be sure you know what you're getting yourself in for. :)
With all the caveats out of the way, once you've used a chamber vac, you'll never go back to the bag sealers. I can vacuum seal a bowl of soup. Try that with your FoodSaver! Also, making instant pickles is a trick that never gets old. You'll be shocked at how many things you can pickle or infuse or marinate in seconds vs. the traditional method of letting them soak for hours, days, or weeks.
