What to know before you buy

Largest pouch: The maker states a maximum pouch size of 12 in maximum bag width. Buy pouches no wider than that, and remember the chamber has to hold whatever is inside the pouch too.
Chamber: The usable chamber is 13.8 in × 11.8 in × 3 in: suited to everyday portions and pouches that lie flat.
Upkeep: An oil pump needs its oil changed on the schedule in its manual, so budget for pump oil alongside the machine.
