StickySharp Eyed Egg Registered: 04/28/00 Posts: 5	I'm considering buying a vacuum packer and found this machine called a KeepFresh VS-280. It costs around $150.00 and uses the smooth commercial vacuum bags(good bags just MUCH less $ than the Foodsaver-type textured bags). Does anyone have any experience with the KeepFresh machine or heard anything about it?

As for the bags......The "texured" portion of the Foodsaver bags are actually air channels, a must for the lower level pakers like the KeepFresh and FoodSaver. The smooth type bags are basically designed for the commercial packers. But, both can be used in either machine, but I have found that ice crystals form in the smooth bags more often then the bags with air channels. Hope this helps a bit.... ------------------ "Just Say No To Sovereign Nations!" _________________________ "Just Say No To Sovereign Nations!"
