I just sent back the handheld FoodSaver system with the zip lock looking bags to Amazon. I had a problem with the bags letting air back in after putting in the freezer. After contacting Foodsaver they told me that the valves are not rated to go in the freezer and would leak, would have been nice it was advertised that way.
I'm looking at a larger model now. Seal-A-Meal has a cheaper $45 one on that seems to get good reviews on Amazon, actually better than several more expensive FoodSaver systems.
Which should I get? I'm not opposed to getting a FoodSaver but if the Seal-A-Meal is just as good at basic vacuum sealing then I'd rather save the money. I'll mainly use it for hops and freezing some stuff from my vegi garden.
