Vacuum Sealer

Mon Aug 07, 2017 5:04 pm

I am about to pick my first hop harvest and have noticed that amazon is selling a few options of vacuum sealers for a very reasonable amount, right about $50. However, I didn't want to spend the money on one of these cheaper models if I would really be missing out on something with a nicer one. Any thoughts? Does anyone have any tips on picking out a good/decent vacuum sealer?

I was looking at something like this: https://www.amazon.com/COSORI-Automa...m+sealer&psc=1

You will probably want a unit that will seal mylar oxygen barrier bags, and I understand that the Seal-A-Meal types will not do that.

Mine is a DZ-280A. I got it from sorbentsystems.com in April 2009, and it's still humming along.
