Best vacuum sealer that doesn't crush shrooms?

With my current vac sealer, it does have a gentle mode, but it still crushes the mushrooms..
You can't seal during the vacuum at any given point, but you can press stop and quickly follow with pressing seal, though this lets more air back in..
Anyone?
Also need a sealer that is consistent in sealing the bags! Don't want to have to worry about triple packing..

If you have a food saver with the accessory attachment tube thing, you can get one of these and use jars with metal lids.

Foodsaver will let you seal anytime during the vacuum process but I agreed that mason jars are the best for long term storage. Only time I used bags I ground them up first then spread them out as even as I could then vacuum sealed that way.

Foodsavers are the best I’ve tried so far.. really consistent seals.. machine isn’t shotty at all. I’ve had a couple cheap ones and they aren’t great compared.. food saver bags are really nice too.. way less come unsealed compared to the off brands
You’re looking at about $80 for the cheapest food saver or there abouts. I got lucky and got a brand new one at an upper class neighborhood goodwill store for $40.. hot tip: go to those neighborhoods goodwills.. it’s like a TJ max up thur. Still a lot of butter knives but no normal forks like any other goodwill. What’s up with that?

This one from Amazon has your desired function and was surprisingly way better than the food saver model I got at walmart. Made wider/more solids seals too. 
Maybe my food saver was bunk, but this one has been my go-to for a year+ now. Still use the food saver bags though.

I'm in the UK so we don't have those here 
Highly considering a foodsaver, especially if they're wider and more consistent seals like you say but from the reviews on Amazon, the lower end one seems to be better than the more expensive ones.
Thanks dude.

Also highly considering this one. I'm super tied between this and the lower end foodsaver.. the more expensive foodsaver has tons of shitty reviews and you speak of your own bad experience with the brand.
Damn it's tough, because the FS I found for around £60 has really good reviews.
Thanks to you too man.
