Have to confess, I too am waiting for your verdict. Sounds a great deal and also nice to be Australian site.
Hope it's a winner Amanda

I have one called EZIVAC.  You can let it do its own thing and suck the air out.  Or you can manually control how much air you wish to remove.  I have both bags and a continuous roll in 2 widths.  It is easy to use .  Last Xmas I taught the GC how to use it and they made book marks out of sealed Gum leaves and fern.for Xmas pressies.  All vacuum sealed. It also has an attachment,  which I haven't used, to suck air out of Jars (special ones that you buy)  I think I paid $300 for it at the Elmore Field Day.  I love it and seal some of the Quince Paste and other fruit pastes with it.  I find it good for soups as they freeze flat in the freezer.  I investigated the plastic which you use and it can be heated in boiling water for I thunk 15 mins without any bad effects.  I also seal small cooked Xmas Puds, to give away as pressies.  They can be reheated in the microwave or in boiling water while still in the vac. pack.  As you can see I use it a lot and these are only a few of the uses.  Go for it if you think it will do what you want.

Oow exciting

[Amanda]

I've just had a wee play with the new toy and am very happy. 
It is all pretty straightforward and idiot-proof (thank goodness), has a 'stop' button to stop the vacuum if you think it might get too squishy and came with a pack of bags and 2 packs of 2 different sized rolls of bags, so that you can cut them to size.
I think it's a very good deal for the price!
