It looks like some of the Oliso vacuum sealers come with a carrying case. Is this one of them?

This uses specially designed zip-lock bags. One side is sealed with a zip-lock closure, but the vacuum is achieved by puncturing a side of the bag and then heat-sealing the circular puncture that's created. The bags are meant to be reusable, but because the puncture-and-seal holes are in the middle of the bag, any food debris that's not completely cleaned off of the seal area will compromise the seal. When you reuse, you'll need to pick a new part of the bag to puncture and seal, which creates pockets between the holes where food tends to get stuck.
Also, the mechanical zip-lock closure won't hold a vacuum as well as a heat-seal all around will.
You can get a heat-sealing vacuum packer with a more conventional strip-style sealer for less than $100. You also need to buy bags for these obviously, but they are cheaper.
edit: Was mistaken that the seal was adhesive, as in the Zip-lock vacuum line. Thanks to Mark below for pointing it out. I don't feel quite as negatively about it, but still think conventional vacuums are a better option.

The Zip Lock vacuum bag pump will be fine for sous vide as you don't need the seal to hold for that long. You'll only start to see the effects of the inferior seal after several days. For food safety reasons, you probably won't want to reuse your bags, though. This makes using either of these systems relatively expensive. 20 quart bags will run you roughly $15 with the Olison system. That's pretty ridiculous, considering you can get a 1000ct box of regular vacuum pouches for $35.

A 20 count box of Oliso quart bags is $15 on Amazon. A 1000 count box of generic 6x8 vacuum pouches is $35. You don't need to bother reusing strip-style bags when they're that cheap.
Additionally, reusing bags that have had raw meat stored in them should be avoided, if that's the use case.
The counter space aspect is reasonable - the Oliso Pro-1000 occupies roughly half the space of the more compact strip-style sealers.

SeaHawkThere might or might not be a Mason Jar attachment add on if there is enough interest. It's currently out of stock, but we might be able to bring it back, here's some more info: http://www.oliso.com/index.php/olisor-mason-jar-freshkeepertm.html

Would you mind elaborating on the issues you have with the Zip Lock vacuum pump bag system? I just started sous vide cooking and was planning to use the zip lock vacuum bags to keep my costs down but still get the benefits of the vacuum. Would I be better off with ordinary zip lock bags or this system?
