That is probably why they have them on web site for reduced prices, they are repairing and resale them. But it works great for fish, deer, vegies, really anything. What I do is prefreeze anything in the sealing bags, then I use the vacuum sealer and seal the bag. Really saves the unit.

Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of freezing it with out it being exposed to air?
