Can someone please recommend a vacuum sealer under $50 that isn't terrible? The one I have doesn't remove all the air before sealing. I want one with two separate buttons: one to activate the vacuum, and a second one to seal. That way I can determine on my own when all the air is removed, rather than rely on a faulty automatic process.

Not as cheap as what you're looking for, but bang for the buck chamber vacuum sealers are so much better and can achieve what you're looking for, and the bags are SO much cheaper

I bought a friend a Pikmin plush one time, and it came in like this.

Get the largest vacuum bag. Stuff a giant stuffed animal into it. Suck all the air out of it until it looks llike a midsized irregular object. Wrap it and give it to your 5 year old nephew, having Christmas at grandma's house (6 hour drive from home).

Bahahahahaha

To be fair, my brother-in-law started it by giving my kids the loudest most annoying shit possible. Vengeance is mine.

This is also a great tip when you have a kid who wants to bring a giant stuffed animal on a long trip and space is tight

Does this. Does this actually harm the stuffed animals? Some mattresses and pillows are sold vacuum-packed but they fluff up after a bit.

They don't feel a thing

It can damage older ones especially.

I mean it's the most logical way to ship them across the world.

I’m oscillating Between being horrified and laughing my ass off.

If you knew how much the stuffed animal collection costs, you'd understand

I am addicted to Makeship

What about your NFT collection.

NFTs can go straight to hell

At least two Nice Fucking Tits.

I can hear that picture. NoooOOOoo.

I mean, it would definitely be an efficient way to store them.

Absolute monster lol

Anybody does that to me and hands would be flying.

Edit:

Stupid keyboard combined with 98% user error and you get "toe" instead of "to me".
