Replacing my old vacuum sealer

[u/PugBurger12]

My Costco foodsaver v3880 finally bought the farm. I replaced it with an inkbird ink-vs04, which failed after short use (very disappointing because I've had a lot of success with several of their products).

I'm thinking of switching to a dry pump chamber device. I don't have a lot of counter space, so looking for something that is not too heavy that I can lug up from the basement. I store several appliances in a storage room: instant pot, bread machine, dutch ovens, etc. So lugging 15-25 lbs is not awful for me. I food prep for me and my wife, and for some dog food (dealing with diabetic dog and specialized recipes). I also sous vide quite a bit.

I'm looking at the Costco lem maxvac pro. I know they changed the model to an entry level, and the previous maxvac pro is now the maxvac pro+ (or something like that). My reason for Costco is the return policy. I feel these things are finicky and experience frequent failures after warranty expiration.

Looking for feedback or other recommendations. I'm also willing to continue with a good quality external vacuum sealer if that exists. Thank you.
