Best I can offer is that as FoodSaver upgrades its products, most
of the improvements are for user convenience. I use a V2240.

The underlying process of vacuum packaging food is well established.
It had been much the same since FoodSaver started. Improvements
usually deal with making the rolls easier to feed, built in cutters,
etc.

I upgraded to this model because it recognized the difference between
wet foods and dry foods (FE: Lasagne vs. 1 Kilo bags of rice put up
from a 25 Lb bag).

If you're willing to put up with the lack of "advanced" features, I
suggest going with a basic unit. It will provide you the base feature,
that is, vacuum packaging your food. Later models will do no better.
