I had a cheap junky one years ago. It was good for when I bought big packets of pork chops, chicken breasts, etc at Sams and wanted to divide them up to freeze. The roll that fit it was expensive though. I remember calculating it out and it was cheaper for me to use Ziploc freezer bags. I also didnt like that mine was small and wouldn't take the wider roll, and i couldn 't use it to re-seal bought bags, like potato chip bags.
My friend has a big one (i'll find out the brand) and she loves it. She lives near a cow farm, and they order half a cow and she vacuum saves it all and packs it in her big chest freezer. But it also will re-seal almost any other plastic bag. So snacks she buys for her grandkids that wont get used from one weekend to the next, she vacuum seals.
If you get one, be sure to check the features so it does all you want it to and takes a variety of roll sizes.
