I'm not familiar with that brand, but I sure am not impressed with Food Savers. I think I've gone through 5 of them so far. They don't stand up to a lot of use. There's got to be some better brands out there.
Most in this country have things people in other countries only dream about. Yet, they want America to be more like those other countries.

Foodsavers aren't chamber vacs.
OP I can not comment on the Vevor brand, I have a vacmaster. It's an awesome machine, only comment I could make towards the ones you are looking at is I"d recommend getting as big of one as you can afford. I wish I would have went one size up.

Mine has a nine inch seal bar. I should have got one the size you are looking at.
Probably I'll give mine to my daughter and get a bigger one someday.

I have the 260a model for about 6 months.It's the one with the red face plate. It's worked very well for us.I have packaged around 500 pounds of meat thru it and probably 50 lbs of vegetables , we don't lose any left over food anymore! The shipping was fast and free plus no sales tax, it came with enough oil to fill it and so far hasn't used any other oil.I went thru about 4 different foodsaver type sealers and this chamber vac blows them all away and the bags are cheaper also.I bought bags on webstaurant by the thousand lot.My brother has there number 32 head grinder and he says it's a really good grinder except the pan is to small , he is a meat cutter by trade for 50 years so I trust it's good also.I would have got the bigger model if it was available when I ordered but this model I have works for me.The biggest size I can get in mine would be a 1/2 a pork butt , the size your looking at you would have a taller center so you could probably do a whole pork but or 8-9 lb roast.

We always buy bulk, it works great on fried rice , we make a big batch and divide it for 3 meals and freeze abd then just throw it in a pan of boiling water to reheat.we started feeding our bull dog raw food we make as he had a lot of skin problems eventually after seeing how healthy he became we put our 2 standard poodles on a raw diet,we chamber seal 90 lbs a month now.

For sure Scott.
I love a chamber vac, never go back to a pump system.
I'll make a large kettle of soup and freeze left over portions in bags. When I want to reheat it, throw the whole back in hot/boiling water. I do strawberries, blueberries and other fruit without crushing them. I do freezer corn or anything wet one can imagine with not mess or bags that don't seal. We fish? Piece of cake and using bags that are much cheaper than foodsaver type bags/
You won't regret it WWS.
