Read the full editorial guide

For most Australian kitchens our pick is the FoodSaver VS3198 Controlled Multi Seal. It has five settings, Dry, Moist, Pulse, Marinate and Sous Vide, including a Moist setting for damp and marinated food, and it combines a heat sealer with a retractable accessory hose for FoodSaver containers and zipper bags. It adds built in roll storage with a cutter and a removable drip tray that catches spills, and FoodSaver Australia backs it with a 24 month replacement warranty.
If you want something simpler and cheaper, the FoodSaver VS4500 Lock and Seal is the budget pick. It has a one touch locking lever and one touch Seal or Vacuum Seal buttons, an accessory hose for containers and zipper bags, and the same 24 month replacement warranty. It has no separate dry and moist settings, so for marinated or damp food, freeze it first or keep the bag opening dry before sealing.
