I was in your shoes awhile back. Had a foodsaver that l had used a lot for 8 or 9 years, and it kicked the bucket on me. I decided l was going to get the best vacuum sealer made regardless of price...I seal everything from garden vegetables, fish, shrimp, meat. Figured it would be worth it to get a Cadillac.
I googled and found a lot of people were going with the basic foodsaver and using it until it quit. I bought the base model for $30 or $40 (just checked - was on sale when I bought it. Model fm 2000. $69 on Amazon now.) Ordered bulk rolls of Amazon. It doesn't have any options other than vacuum and seal, but it's still going strong. I use it a couple of times a month, and it's worked like a champ ever since.
Pro tip - freeze what you're planning to seal ahead of time and it's not as messy. I bought a refurbished Foodsaver FM2000 for about $30 off of Woot.com. I have been using it for about 4 years. When it dies, I will go buy another refurb.
