Vent: That expensive vacuum sealer I bought for meal prep totally failed after 3 months

I picked up a FoodSaver FM5200 back in September for $130, thinking it'd help me stop wasting produce. Everything worked fine until last Tuesday when I tried sealing some bell peppers and the strip just stopped heating. Now I'm back to wrapping stuff in foil and guessing if it's still good. Anyone find a model that actually lasts longer than a season?

Buy a better brand, that one's entry level plastic junk.

Yeah but not everyone needs to drop $200 on a hobby they're just testing out. Entry level stuff gets the job done fine.
