Iron crap leaves to much small creases. I'm looking for more of a real dedicated mylar bag sealer. Any recommendations guys would be very much appreciated.
I started with a level and a iron and did okay - some failures. Then I moved to a conair women's hair straightener - some failures Then I felt spendy and used this purpose built model. There are several versions on the same design. I like the grid pattern - may have decreased my failure rate - not sure.
I'm cheap, I use my Food Saver and just run the sealer thing two or three times. I've got some rice and beans that are five or six years old and still holding vacuums. I probably need to get rid of those old beans; even with a pressure cooker they get pretty meh.

Really...impulse sealer coming today...Tried a hair straightener and it left lines in it.
In my case it was a bit of a learning curve. 1. Don’t fill to full 2. I use 7ml Mylar so they are a bit stiffer 3. Bought quite a few absorbers from a popular website and half didn’t work. Thought I was doing something wrong
I've always used an iron with no issues. I place a 1" piece of pvc or broom handle as a backing edge under the mylar. I make sure that it's flat on the backing edge, you can even roll it around the backing edge. Take your time and iron evenly.
