Walton's Vacuum Sealer Buying Guide
Two of our new Walton's Vacuum Sealers are finally here! We have one model that is a chambered vacuum sealer and another that is a chamberless vacuum sealer. We also have a smaller chamberless machine being made for us right now and that will hopefully be here by the end of the year! The purpose of this video is to show which style of Walton's sealer is right for you.

First let's go over the basics of the two styles of the vacuum sealers. This is a chambered machine, it is called that because the entire bag with your food inside of it goes into the chamber, the air is then pumped out of the chamber through this nozzle in the back of the unit. The air is then pumped back into the machine and the bag is sealed, giving you a perfectly sealed food item that is good for extremely long storage. This is what is often called a chamberless machine and that is a bit of a misnomer, it does have a chamber right here under the lid, but only the opening of the bag goes into the chamber. The air is then sucked out of the chamber and pulled from your bag, the bag is then sealed and the vacuum is released on the chamber so you can open the lid and remove your bag.

So, what are the advantages to a chambered machine? Well, in our mind the four major perks are the cost of the bags, the quality of the seal, the lifespan of the unit and the ability to vacuum seal products with a lot of liquid in them. The bags for a chambered machine are made from perfectly smooth plastic that is sealed on three sides but has no texture, making them far less expensive than the chamberless bags. In fact, the cost difference is so drastic that, depending on the amount you use the machine, the cost difference can be made up within a year or two. Take 8X12 bags for example, the chambered bags are 6 cents a bag, the chamberless bags are 25 cents a bag. That might not seem like a huge difference, but if you extrapolate that to a 1,000 bags, you are talking about $200. Because these bags are smooth they have less rigidity to them. When coupled with the increased power of the pump your bag will allow more air to be pulled from the bag and it will form to your food better. The chambered units are also going to generally have a longer life than the chamberless units. *It is true that when handled properly, the chamberless units should off many years of reliable service the fact that they are sucking moisture into their chambers greatly increases the possibility of an accident happening and the liquid damaging your machine.* (not sure what this is supposed to say) The chambered machine also allows you to seal liquid easily. You can actually watch water boil in the bag as you pull a vacuum and still get a perfect seal without damaging your machine.
