“I want to invest in a new Foodsaver vacuum sealer, but can't determine the $100 difference between this unit and the $299.00 one. Could you compare the two and explain the differences?”

As this is an old question, you probably already decided. I have the $199 version and see several advantages to the more expensive version. 1 - a marinating box ($21.99) is included so you don't need to also buy a box for that or for crush-able food (chips, berries).. 2 - having the drip tray easily removed for dishwasher cleaning is very nice. 3 - having the sealer below the bag dispenser and auto starting is easier than holding the bag high while pressing the bar in two places 4 - a reverse button if you pulled out too much bag beats having to open the unit and manually rewind the roll before remeasuring. Is this worth the extra $100? Depends on how you value the extras and your budget.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe this one is a better buy than spending the extra 100 bucks. This one works well. Maybe it doesn't have extras but, less components to worry about. The sleek design fits on the counter under cabinets easily.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I bought the $299 one first and the biggest difference I saw between these two is this one does not have the cutter for the bags. I thought I needed the cutter but love the compact one much better.
