FoodSaver

I`ve been a 'FoodSaver' user practically since the damn thing was invented, purchasing one shortly after seeing it infomercialed on TV about 25 years ago (boy does time go by slowly preping food 8^). I`ve bought a few of them throughout the years as gifts, but I still have and use the original design model and it is ever so slowly losing it`s punch as I once in a while run warm water thru it to keep it clean and pumping.

So as I am considering a new one, I noticed their top of the line model is the 'Pro III'. I`m sure some have this model and I was wondering any pro`s or con`s about it? They list for $300 and eBay has them for a 'Buy It Now' price of about $180. Considering I paid about $300 for the original model 25 years ago, it`s seems like a fair deal.

Ain`t it great how everything can get made in China and the prices keep going down? (pure sarcasm)............. 8^o

I know I have seen them at Costco. Can't remember the price.

Trouble with just buying at Costco or other stores, is that they usually have a lower quality model. I figure if I buy their best model (highest quality pump), and I get another 25 years out of it, by that time I just might not be into vacuum sealing any more?
