6-8 pounds, $999 on Amazon.ca with free shipping when in stock.
 
I think I solved the problem on my machine. I bought some new oil and flushed the machine about 5 time with new oil and now it seems not to be misting. On my last inspection I noticed that some of the filter elements inside the machine show signs of oil. I have ordered new filters which I am still waiting on.

Just take it back and get a new one. I'm on my 3rd.....the new one they have is better than previous ones
 
FA, does your machine mist oil into the chamber or in the motor compartment ? Where does it mist out of (pics) ?Have you tried adding the minimum /maximum amount of oil to the machine to see if that makes any difference ?
 
Hmmm chatted with Gary at Vacmaster..he felt these misting issues were relted to moisture getting into the oil..not changing oil often enough..
on a new machine after first 100 bags..then every 500 bags...
Gary was knowlegable and helpful...
cheers

I got my VP215 shipped to my door today from amazon.ca for $1118.88 cad taxes in. It says two to four weeks on the web site, took sixteen days, but
it always takes longer to get stuff to Pender Harbour. I tried it, I like it!
 
Congrats markfarley. Your going to love it.

I haven't had any of the misting issues. I change the oil religiously. The VP215 is perfect for what I do. I like to portion things then freeze. The seal bar on mine is just about ready for some new tape (that comes with the unit). Quite a few hundred cycles under it's belt and not a single hick up. Easy to clean, all stainless, best bang for the buck in it's size range.

Yeah, I would love to get one of the ones FD posted up in other thread, but that would cut into the tuna tackle budget lol.
 
I see the vp112 is a $100 less and has a little bigger chamber. Would that be a better choice than the vp115?

Oops I realize I was looking at the 115 and nort the 215.
