[QUOTE="X-Tennessean, post: 5012136, member: 7181"] There are a lot of hidden variables that the some manufacturers will not list in the specs of their units, do your research! For example: Foodsaver brand will not show you the wattage of the vacuum motors or the vacuum rating of the motors! You want the highest watt motor and naturally a vacuum pump rating of 24/25 inhg or higher. Pay attention to the heat strip specs as well, 2mm vs 5-6mm on some brands and whether or not it has a cooling fan. The fan allows you to seal unlimited bags without the unit over heating....reason I am looking for a new unit as well! Aggravating to have to stop and let the strip cool before you can continue to package your product. As mentioned the chamber sealers will be cheaper to operate (bags cheaper-wider range of operation) but cost more up front. [/QUOTE]
