Hate to say it but, I bought what appears to be the same machine last month for $59.ā¹ā¹ at Ollies Bargain Outlet (Good Stuff Cheap!). The only difference I can see is that mine is black. Good machine though. I got it to replace a much older unit and this is much easier to use.
Quick search shows that walmart is selling the same one but adding in the marinate container with the accessories for the same price.
Not sure where youāre seeing that. I just searched for Foodsaver on walmart.com and went through every page of results and they have this model listed with the same pic as here for $89.50. https://www.walmart.com/ip/FoodSaver-VS2150-Vacuum-Sealing-System-Food-Vacuum-Sealer-White-Silver/2508446385
Edit: I found the one youāre referring to, I think. Itās not the same model.

FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer Special Value Pack, Compact Machine with Bags https://www.walmart.com/ip/514690940
Very dissimilar. You are correct. They both suck though.
I pulled the trigger on this and surprisingly it came today which was a nice surprise.
But, Iām not convinced that these are new units. New units come in retail packaging and are giftworthy. Mine came in a brown box that looked and felt as though at some point it had gotten wet and then dried off. It had two of those egg carton-like cardboard pieces that typical refurbs are shipped with and the unit was in a white paper-like bag. When I removed the unit from the box, it has a scratch on the top of it about an inch long.
Havenāt tested it out yet. Will do that tomorrow.
Did anyone receive their Foodsaver in new, retail packaging? Mine was not new and while it works and Iāve been using it, itās still a bit shady to advertise as new and get a blemished refurb in no frills packaging.
You probably received the wrong item. Thatās my guess anyway.
