Thank you TeeSquare!
"But, if you want to explore...Look at the Weston 2300. ( And look thru Craigslist for the Cabela's CG-15... discontinued by Cabelas, but made by Weston - a GREAT sealer....more features than the Weston 2300)"
I just ordered a Cabela CG15 from Cabelas's website (we don't have Cabela's here in CA). Saw a few on Craig's List & E-Bay but was concerned they might be older units that previous owners had problems with. I've been wanting a new & larger vacuum sealer for quite some time now, but shuddered at the thought of carrying an 80 pound chamber sealer from indoor storage to the outdoor grilling area every time I needed to save leftovers from the latest BBQ session, let alone all the times my wife wants to use a vacuum sealer for cheese, veggies, sauces, etc... The CG15 weighs only 15 pounds so it is very portable. THANKS for the recommendation.
Have a peaceful day . . . Dale Brose
