auto vs manual, auto stop, no crush, marinator extension and warranty. tbh the $65 one does it all and not really too Mich a cost difference. I use mine almost every day. it's amazing what you can do with this. I use this for sous vide and just for preserving big batches. it also keeps my coffee fresh for months in the freezer.
yah, i had one, and it dont do a whole lot. i make a lot of marinated chicken, teriyaki, etc. the few times i tried this, it didnt hold vacuum. then, it is kinda big, so i have to move a lotta stuff around in the fridge so it fits. even when it did hold vacuum, i could not tell a difference. then, in order for it to work at all, a LOT of marinade has to be used, so the meat is almost covered. since there is only the 2 of us, a lot gets wasted. i think the best way now is i use a freezer bag, put my chicken and marinade in, and leave it for a few hours, or overnite. i dont recommend it

does anyone have any direct experience with vacuum marination? according to this test, the results are pretty underwhelming with even just a marshmallow-- something much less dense than meat. I was Keen to getting one after getting my vacuum sealer but now I'm much more skeptical.

I was looking at the Foodsaver deals the past two weeks and glad I waited for this one. I ordered the Red Handheld with two orders of the 26 count Quart Bags (52 total) for $25.41 shipped to my door. A previous QVC deal offered the unit with 20 quart bags for $30. This is a steal for small jobs which is what my family would use it for.

Marshmallow seems silly since it isn't all about density. There's saturation and other factors as well. The chicken breast test seems like a slightly better example.
I would agree it probably doesn't do much. If anything, it probably just shaves an hour or so off the marinating time.
