I've been catching and smoking a fish this summer (mostly summerruns & spring kings) and my Costco FoodSaver, Ultra model, vacuum packer is on the blink. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for a fix, it doesn't suck (actually it does) completely and heat seals without a complete vacuum. It's about four years old and seen a fair amount of use.
Also, I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for a more durable or dependable model. My neighbor has a similar machine and he's had problems too. We're considering buying a light industral model. Perhaps Bob, "The Really Big One", has a recommendation from his experiences up north? I'd appreciate any information or suggestions. Thanks for any responses.
