I had a Foodsaver for over 10 years until it died about 3 years ago. Bought a Weston Pro-1100 for close to $400 and it died yesterday.
There is no phone number to contact Weston, so anyone looking at buying anything from them should be wary. I sent a "contact request" so we will see what happens, but not too impressed with them so far.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good unit? All we do is vacuum pack meat for the freezer. Wondering if going back to the crappy Foodsaver for less than $100 and replacing it every two or three years is better than investing $500 for a "good" one.
