Vacmaster 320

Postby rexster314 » Wed Apr 05, 2017 1:27 pm

The Vacmaster 320 came in yesterday. It was one of the most well packaged things I have ever received. The semi came down my street, liftgated it down to my dolly and a friend and I uncrated it, got it up my front steps and lifted it on the rolling cart I had modified just for the Vacmaster. It's huge. Specs say it's 175 pounds and I believe it.
Setup was a snap, just add oil to the pump and you're off to the races. I had half a brisket that needed sealing and it was the first test. Works perfect!
I wanted to show how big this thing is. I'm 6'2" tall so the picture shows the sealer in perspective.

Well, I've been giving this thing a little workout over the past couple of days. I vacuum sealed a Foodsaver canister in the chamber, vacuum packed some homemade pickles in a mason jar, compressed some watermelon which I've attached a picture. I like that I can preset the times for vacuuming, sealing and cooling for whatever I'm sealing. Delicate items require a short vacuum time so they won't get crushed.
