Any suggestions? Thanks. not really, it's pretty straight forward remember to fill up your vacuum pump first you can use cheap cutting boards to fill up space in it when you're vacuusucking something small. (vacmasters come with exactly that, vevor just uses a stainless steel rack that doesn't take up any vacuum space) less time and less wear on the pump. in that thread i linked to earlier there ought to be an amazon link to the cheapest i've found and we can assume that's shit chinese pump oil so i'd use it as a break-in oil and change to some synthetic 68 or 100 weight oil fairly soon, which is cheap and abundant on amazon as well other than that, bag yourself up some water, crush something and then get to doing meaningful vaccusuck things with your new toy |

I’ve processed/packaged a few deer in an evening, packaged daily servings of like 15# of bacon and put it through some work. No regrets whatsoever. I use it a lot more than I thought I would. Same here. Make 150# link sausage on an annual basis, as well as deer processing, fish, wild hog, meat on sale at the grocery store, etc. USV32 handles it all, runs like a champ, would buy it again in a heartbeat. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By flcracker: It looks like some use an oil-filled pump and some are oil-free. Pros & cons of each? Oil pumps are quieted, last longer, & can pull a vacuum deeper. They do require oil changes. Usually its only a couple of ounces. Oil pumps are heavier & usually slower. I have a vp321. Absolutely love it. Prior to that I had the small table top vac master. I used that until the lid cracked. I got an avid armor usv1 yesterday. It is going back today. It is slower than my vac master and didn't pull a vacuum I was happy with. |
