I don't know if the Deni is better than Foodsaver as I've never used a Foodsaver. I know it looks and feels like it's much higher quality. I am on my second Deni. The first one my mom had purchased and used five to ten years then gave it to me and I used it over ten years. It still works but is now losing suction if I leave too much water, from rinsing, on the fish. More my fault than the Vac. But, I used that as an excuse to get the new one in the link for Christmas and it's been working great so far. The new one is more complicated but once you get the hang of it it goes fast.
