I have a vacuum pack machine that is at least 12 years old and still going strong. Made in Germany. It's more like the min max but we paid around $4,500.00 for it way back then. It must weigh 200 pounds or so.

These machines(from Dougcare) look great and if I was to have to get another I would look at these.

We run around 5,000 to 6,000 bags a year through it.

Also, we like the 3mil bags better then the 4mil.

We have been paying quite a bit for bags and just might go here or look for some at the better price???

I would like to try some of the "try these" bags.

Thanks for the info.
