The best vac. packer?

My hubby is going to get me a vacuum packer and I was wondering about the best one for game?

Haven't gotten my first deer but every year I go out with more and more confidence in getting one lol.

After going through a couple of cheap popular sealers, we got a Weston and it is built to last. Much higher quality, with replaceable parts if ever needed.

We bought a "Vac-u Pack". Have only had it about a year. More expensive than the food savers, etc. Cheaper than the Weston, (which looks like a great machine) We have used it a bunch with every sort of bag we could find. It seemed to handle them all just fine, once you adjust for them. I like that you control when to seal, (some machines decide that for you). It is supposed to be more readily "fixable". It is easy to take apart as I had to put a vacuum hose back on. (Saved me havin to send it in for a stupid repair)

All in all, we like it.
