Latest Aldi catalogue lists their Ambiano Food Sealer on sale Sat 4/2 for $60 as well as the choice of rolls or bags $14. Can anyone comment on how good these are ? Bags are listed as microwave, boil and freezer safe.

I have a Sunbeam one that's lasted years and I think there are only a few manufacturers of the bags around and they need to be food safe. Commercially, food is regularly heat treated in the bags so being microwavable and boilable is essential.

We wouldn't be without it for home or hiking.

I bought a super cheap one from AliExpress - $23. It works way better than I expected, better than the orved $400 machines I've used before.

I can't vouch for it's long term quality but hey if you want to get started cheap...
