It's about three years old and holding up well. It's been good value for money on that basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoogl Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 i picked up a cheap one for £20 from aldi. Its ok as i don't use it alot. I think Lidl has one this week for similar price. If you're going to use often i'd maybe look at spending more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Look at groupon, there is often this sort of thing on there at discounted prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skagg2000 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Having been through a few of the JML / Foodsaver vac sealers I now have one of these https://www.fresherpack.co.uk/products/41/33/eiffel_freshpack_pro_l_n_vacuum_food_sealer_machine_-_2_year_warranty/ The L/N version is far quieter than the foodsaver ones which was one of the thing that used to drive me mad when packing alot of stuff. Had it a couple of years now & it seems to be ok & spares are available should they be required. Seems a good half way house between frequently replacing cheap one & investing in a commercial unit.

Cheers n Gone Nick Spot on dude....we have the same make & model, and it's our go to machine out of the 3 that we use. I don't remember paying that much thou....still prices go up nothing we can do about it...and I've also had spares from them...I did the foam seal a year or so back, I would buy again if I had to.

sotv Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Don't know if you are still looking for one? but Lidl are doing their Silvercrest one for £19.99 at the moment, saw them instore today and they were selling the 28cm and 20cm width rolls to go with them as well. I use the rolls all the time and picked a few up as they appear 2 or 3 times a year and not a regularly stocked item 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
