I've been chasing one for a while too,
Generally I'm just happy to get what ever other people have had a good run out of for a reasonable price.
I've just noticed these 2 seem to be identical apart from the stainless finish.

https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-food-vacuum-sealer/ Kogan - $58 Delivered, only 10 bags included.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Luvele-Deluxe-Vacuum-Food-Sealer-Saver-Stainless-Steel-175W-Power-Luvelo-/160780446590?hash=item256f42eb7e Luvele - $129 Delivered 24 Mt's of bag roll included.

Bags per Mt seem to be roughly around $1.
The Kogan one looks like good buying If you only need the basics.
 
I am using a vauum sealer of a brand called Maxkon, bought it years ago from crazysales: http://www.crazysales.com.au/vacuum-sealer/ Is anyone familiar with it?
The model is kind of like the one Soft71 mentioned, inbuilt roll holder, and with 2 rolls of sealer bags as freebie when I bought it. It works well and I use it to preserve hops and leftovers. And I want to say sealing hops is one of those aspects that keep hops in optimal condition. Temperature should be considered too. The lack of oxygen and low temperature can effectively slow down oxidation. And don't skimp on sealer bags, because you don't want extra oxygen penetrate the bag and spoil the lovely hops, right?
