"A good idea in need of development.." star star star star star_border I bought a Foodsaver vacuum sealer a long time ago and love it - I then purchased the hand held sealer and the bags and a couple of storage containers. All work well but I have to agree with another reviewer - on first use the bags work perfectly, but after a quick and careful rinse they don’t hold the vacuum on second use. A shame since they are too expensive to use once and dispose of (and NOT ‘green’). These things are always improved and develop with time - and generally the system is a great way to avoid food waste. I look forward to upgraded bags - and freezer compatible would be great!
"Handy sized bags designed for vacuum storage of food" star star star star star_border No problem with these but not sure how many times they can be used to ensure the vacuum seal remains 100% effective. Instructions for use do not indicate this. They would be very expensive if you cannot use them more than 3 times. They are designed to be used with the Foodsaver vacuum storage machine. So ...if you want to use the machine it does appear you have to have the Brand name bags. You Tubers offer an alternative route but the bottom line is cheap zipper bags would be unreliable . I like this product but suggest that they are used sparingly because of the expense. support_agent A note from the team These can be washed after each use and re-used numerous times.
