OK - I know there has been discussions on here before but this is where we are at.....
We had a small budget of £50 put aside for this (we had seen quite a few on the net for this sort of price so thought we were ok with that)
A friend knew we were looking and found a vacuum sealer for £18.99 in Lidl (she got it for me as they were changing stock the next day) I opened it and tried it, it was crap!! It made a lot of noise and sucked a little then nothing - needless to say this was returned.
Today, in our largest local supermarket (near Gatwick) we found a whole pile of vacuum sealers reduced from £35.71 to £28.57. We got it home and even had some left over bbq to seal so we were happy to rip it open and try it. it was also crap and did pretty much the same as above!!
AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH
So back to the drawing board - are they crap cos of the price and is our budget of £50 really that far out??
