VERSATILITY & CONVENIENCE IN THE KITCHEN: When food is protected from air and freezer burn, everyday meal planning is easier—double the recipe of your favorite dishes then store the extra portions for a quick and nutritious meal on busy weeknights, and spend less time grocery shopping when you buy frequently used items in bulkSIMPLE TO USE: Just add food to the bag, insert the open end into the FM2000, and the machine takes care of the rest—removing all of the air, creating an air tight seal, and stopping automatically once seal is completeSTRETCH YOUR DOLLAR: Food preserved with the FoodSaver System and stored in the freezer can last up to 3 years, rather than 6 months, and it will still taste as fresh as the day you sealed it. And prep ahead meals and leftovers stored in the fridge can still be enjoyed weeks laterNOT JUST FOR FOOD STORAGE: Use your vacuum sealer to store liquids and creams when you travel, protect important papers or photographs from mildew or possible water damage, create your own refreezable ice packs, and much moreSIMPLE TO CLEAN: Exclusively designed, patented removable drip tray, which collects any excess liquid and debris that may result from vacuum sealing, helps keep countertops clean and is dishwasher safe; Cord Length: 24 inches

Depends on how much vacuum you want. You can suck a significant amount of air out of a bottle with your mouth by sealing your lips over the mouth.
With a small handheld vacuum pump you can create even more.
With a home food sealing machine, you can create about the best vacuum you're going to get without a much more expensive pump. Interestingly enough, the "vacuum" these machines produce is very near the atmospheric pressure on Mars.
Vacuum is dangerous if you put anything living into it, or if you try to draw a vacuum on some container that doesn't have the structural integrity to hold it, it will implode.

Sure, I'll try my best. My dehydrator is the Excalibur Deluxe.
And it's been a few years so I'm not sure if this is the exact model, but this looks like my FoodSaver.
This is the mason jar attachment for the FoodSaver.
I think that's it, besides for a regular 'ol stock pot.
If you have $75 then I would just buy one, it will quickly become one of your most often used kitchen appliances. This is the one that we have had for the last 2-3 years and we use it all the time.
I think for that price I'd get: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D5TMBE0/ref=s9u_simh_gw_i2?ie=UTF8&fpl=fresh&pd_rd_i=B01D5TMBE0&pd_rd_r=9AKSMRY46NNDKKA2DAK0&pd_rd_w=89F4Q&pd_rd_wg=CU0Hi&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=&pf_rd_r=EH0VTSX5T231D3M67X62&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=781f4767-b4d4-466b-8c26-2639359664eb&pf_rd_i=desktop
Nice, so something like this?

The FoodSaver FSFRSH0051 works with bags that aren't ideal for sous vide because there's hole for the air to come out. I'm pretty sure there was extra water in the bags I used. I got my FoodSaver from woot. It was refurbished but at $39 it was half price. Amazon
I bought this one around Christmas time for about fifty bucks. Definitely a cheaper one but I use it all the time with no issues so far. It's very handy for sous vide, but I also use it a ton just for storing stuff longer, especially freezing meat. A vacuum sealer is overall a good investment in my opinion.
I use this for all my sous vide work: https://smile.amazon.com/FoodSaver-FM2000-Vacuum-Sealer-Starter/dp/B01D5TMBE0/ref=sr_1_8?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1537195332&sr=1-8&keywords=food+saver
Might have to use two large cut bags for each pair, but it should work just fine.
Had this for over a year. I use it a lot for sous vide but also vacuum seal all kinds of other things as well as a lot of things sealed in mason jars. Still going strong.

I like the FoodSaver brand. I had one for 7+ years and only replaced it because they came out with a "Game Saver" model that does more consecutive seals without having to rest the machine. The base model FM2000 is like $80. The base model Game Saver GM2050 is $76 right now.
Neither has the thingie to cut a bag from a roll or store the roll which wouldn't matter if you don't use it a lot. Just cut with scissors. I sprung the extra and got the GM710-000-GameSaver.
I have used other brands and they were ok. My "seal a meal" was good but not wasn't durable enough for me and the off brand I had was inconsistent at sealing.
I have used all different brands of bags and not noticed a difference so I get whatever 11x50 inch rolls are a good price. Right now I have these.

I use this one and have had it for several years, use it all the time: https://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-FM2000-Machine-Starter-Certified/dp/B01D5TMBE0/ref=sr_1_7?crid=2MF3E05L7VRYT&keywords=vacuum+sealer&qid=1569332014&sprefix=vacuum+se%2Caps%2C157&sr=8-7
it sounds like whoever sent the package has never heard of vacuum sealing weed before you ship it. you should ask your dude why he didn't vacuum seal it. and if you plan on doing it again look into this: https://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-FM2000-Machine-Starter-Certified/dp/B01D5TMBE0/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?gclid=Cj0KCQjwhdTqBRDNARIsABsOl9-xJdeGqzknPUAOlImXN9aYgcKo4lTz0hgRdmB6BaFLMTdj1RJJGUMaAoEvEALw_wcB&hvadid=241940087438&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9001987&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=1834460492546622742&hvtargid=aud-647006051489%3Akwd-39458390&hydadcr=24662_10400878&keywords=vacuum+sealer&qid=1565891860&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyUUIzV1FaWEUzN1VBJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTY3Mjk0M0IzUldWNEtUR0lPWiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwOTMwODA2M1RZMVNRN0gyVTBCJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==https://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-FM2000-Machine-Starter-Certified/dp/B01D5TMBE0/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?gclid=Cj0KCQjwhdTqBRDNARIsABsOl9-xJdeGqzknPUAOlImXN9aYgcKo4lTz0hgRdmB6BaFLMTdj1RJJGUMaAoEvEALw_wcB&hvadid=241940087438&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9001987&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=1834460492546622742&hvtargid=aud-647006051489%3Akwd-39458390&hydadcr=24662_10400878&keywords=vacuum+sealer&qid=1565891860&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyUUIzV1FaWEUzN1VBJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTY3Mjk0M0IzUldWNEtUR0lPWiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwOTMwODA2M1RZMVNRN0gyVTBCJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
Umai Dry bags and a vaccum sealer is a great place to start.
Vaccum Sealer: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D5TMBE0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_IJbvDbPANG2SB
Umai Dry: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HUS4J4S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wKbvDbVW1HXJQ
For dry aging I suggest the biggest whole loin you can buy.
I've found 20-35 days works best for most cuts but every cut is different so do your research. (35 for ribloin works great). Also don't throw away the trimmings. Grind the trimmings up and mix them with hamburger meat. You'll love it trust me
Thanks everyone for the info and insight. I'm definitely leaning more towards one. I thought it would improve the flavor but having a proper seal seems pretty critical. I was looking at this model on Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D5TMBE0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_hiMEybM3SWGVY
I would like to stay under $100 if possible. If anyone has any recommendations, they would be greatly appreciated.
