I will second that! I have been using a foodsaver for almost 10 years
now and if you want to preserve freshness they are hard to beat. The
only downside is that the special bags are expensive.

There is a commercial model available, in the same price range, that
uses much much cheaper bags, and will probably be my next purchase.
http://www.sorbentsystems.com/sinbosealer.html For the ultimate in
freshness get a model that supports the "gas flush" option and use
nitrogen to flush prior to sealing.

Actually I recommend exploring this whole site thoroughly, I have done
a lot of business with these guys over the years and they have good
quality Industrial grade stuff. Good source for Desiccants, bags, and
all sorts of food packaging goodies.

Not affiliated, just a very satisfied customer.......
