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.

AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH
So back to the drawing board - are they crap cos of the price and is our budget of £50 really that far out??
