Huge machine looks good. But it sucked some raw meat juice into the tray and not only did it not seal the wet bag. The watery juice wet in the hole and to the pump. Then it sounded really sick, sent it back and this I am told is not a warranty coverage. So not very impressed!
Quiet, quick, built like a tank. Have used it a lot and lent it to friends. Does a perfect job every time with the Weston bags ([...]), but doesn’t work reliably with the “normal” bags from the lower end manufacturers. Not a problem, since the Weston bags don’t cost any more than the generics. BTW, it’s cheaper to buy the pre-cut and sized Weston bags than it is to buy the rolls (which you have to cut and seal yourself)? If you’re going to seal watery items, or items which can become watery when the vacuum is created (fish, tomatoes, grapes, etc.), it’s a good idea to put the items in the sealing bag, fold the bag over, and place in the freezer for a bit to harden the items up before sealing (folding over the bag minimizes ice crystals). Great product. No reservations on recommending.
I use the Weston Pro 2300 to seal around 150 lbs of Bacon per week (in one lb packages) and we have never had a problem. This thing is a work horse. Make sure you use the proper bags/ rolls for the machine.
