Same price I got mine for from Costco last year... DIVE ON THIS! You will not be sorry. The small hand vac attachment works well with the small reusable bags. Great for cheese.

I have 2: one fully auto and one manual feed and start for use with Umai Dry Bags. I don't think I need a third, though if p I did, I would jump on this deal.
Vacuum bagging has been a boon to what I do, and how I cook and preserve food. Just like Dewesq55, I use mine for the Umai bags, but I use it for so much more too. If used correctly for your given situation and objectives; vacuum bagging is a powerful and useful tool in your culinary arsenal. If you can get one at a reasonable price, jump on it! In the long run, you can save money, but also you can save things that will save you a ton of time if you're in a hurry. The possibilities are legion. Go for it.
Food Saver has had 20% everything for Memorial Day week. It just so happened that ours finally died after 15 years (no parts available). I saved $80+ buying a re-manufactured machine from Food Saver last week.
