You get what you pay for...
I do a lot of fishing in the summer and fall and thus a lot of vacuum bagging. Maybe 100 to 200 bags in summer and fall and 5 or 10 a month the rest of the year. It's slow but seems to work. My first Food Saver lasted about 7 years before the vacuum gave out. I'm on my second unit for about 3 years now. For occasional use, they're great for the price point.
