LEM MaxVac 500 review

[fullborebbq]

Nice review Steve! Before I bought my chamber vac machine I used my food saver units for years. The best bags I found for storage and boiling after are thees, a bit expensive but you get what you pay for: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sous-Vide-...201100&hash=item5212dd2252:g:0dEAAOxy87tSDoF3

If you are new to Vacuum packing the food saver type units require freezing anything with liquids in them first., or being vary quick on the seal button.

47.00 for 100 bags isn't bad in my opinion. Especially since shipping is free. I've been vac sealing for at least 25 years. So I'm not a newb. But always looking for ideas. Thanks for the link. I am starting to get low on gallon bags too.

Best bags I have used, ever FS bags are JUNK! my 2 cents

what gets me is if you calculate the Sq Ft of the rolls you get ripped off! Besides there from Italy where Sous Vide is popular.

That one I bought a few weeks ago messed up all ready. My third one in couple months had to return. Sam's had a foodsaver on sale for $100. Hopefully this one will work for a while. If not will look at that LEM.

Sign up for LEM announcements and such. They periodically offer 10 to 30% off depending upon what you buy. Sometimes even free shipping. Just in case your new unit dies. My LEM is still going strong.
