Hi Chris, I'm inclined to agree.
This looks a bit like the deal with printers; they make no money on the sale of the printer, just the consumables, and boy, do they make a killing!
As an aside, the comments section on the website read like facebook trivia!
At the top end of these products, I'm impressed with the butchers' cryovac machines, which use an external pressure chamber to push the air out of the bag, then heat-seal it. This would appear to be more effective than sucking the air out, tho I've seen lots of good comments on the Sunbeam machine.
I've considered buying one, but these days, I've generally found no problem finding a butcher in the top end who can cryovac all my supplies for 3-4 weeks away, and am willing to pay the small charge for the vac sealing.
cheers,
Gerry
