Weston Pro-3000 Programmable 15" Stainless Steel Vacuum Sealer review

The Weston Pro-3000 is the heavy-duty pick for people who seal dozens of bags at a time, such as hunters, gardeners and bulk shoppers. Weston lists a 1020 watt motor that is fan-cooled for continuous, repetitive use, a double-piston pump rated up to 28 HG and a 15 inch seal bar with a wide 5 mm heat bar, the widest bag capacity on this list. Programmable seal time lets you set the heat for moist foods like ground meat and fish once and reuse it across a batch, and a manual mode handles delicate foods. The digital panel tracks vacuum and heat seal time. The stainless steel housing, 10-amp fuse and 6 foot detachable cord point to shop use, and Weston backs it with a 5-year limited warranty. Weston's US store shows the price without a currency sign, so we list the price check as pending and score value conservatively. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run sealing tests.
