Looking for information on the Sunbeam Home Vacuum Seal Packaging System Model V5500 & a Recommended Retail Price $. Tried to find info on the Sunbeam Web Page but to no avail. Maybe I should buy another brand. Sunbeam brand was recommended to me by a friend. Kind regards, Bronwyn

If you're in Australia the model number is VS5500. You'll find product information here http://www.sunbeam.com.au/Pages/Browse/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=1572 with RRP AU$250

There's also a newer model which I own, the VS6600 http://www.sunbeam.com.au/Pages/Browse/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=1603 with RRP AU$250. I find this one has better features e.g. lets you just seal by itself, useful when closing the end of an open roll to make a packet.

For owners manuals go to http://www.sunbeam.com.au/Pages/Support/ManualSearch.aspx and use either of the model numbers above as a search reference.

Good luck!
