Cabela's Pro-Series Vacuum Sealer
Finally got a chance to break in my NEW vacuum sealer last night. Processed 10lbs of bacon and broke down a massive block of cheddar cheese from Costco. As it says in the model...this thing is Pro. I hope this lasts much longer than my last 3 FoodSavers. Also glad i bought it while it was on sale
Some pic's of the beast... Left side Right side

While it has the Cabela's name on it, it looks very similar to my Weston Pro series.
If it is, it will last a long long time. I process about 25+ bags a week, even more in the summer. I've used mine for 3 years with NO problems. If using it to seal chili, stew or soups just chill the food in the bag for a few hours and then seal having no mess or leakage. |

I've got the same one. I love it, with one minor gripe: It has a port for a hose if you want to use vaccuum canisters, but does not come with the hose. I have a hose from an old foodsaver, but it doesn't fit. I called Cabelas and they don't carry the hoses.
I don't use the canisters often, but I do have some and they are now basically worthless. But don't get me wrong, this thing is a mean sealer. David

I own a Weston Pro, and it is still running just fine after 5+ years.

I've been dreaming of getting one of these. HAS to be better than ziploc bags, and manually sucking/forcing the air out

I have this same model only the older one that has the clear seal chamber so you can see to line up the bags. Been using it for the last 8 years runs flawless

This is very timely post for me as I am having problems with my FoodSaver. I guess it might be time to upgrade. Thanks!

You will love it, I've got the same one that I've had about 3 years now and it's sealed up a little over 1,000 pounds of meat so far. It gets used heavily when we butcher hogs and deer.
I'm always finding something to seal up with it.
