Does it work with only food saver bags

Yes. The food saver bags come with a small seal were air is sucked out from. Regular bags don't have one so u could try and figure out a way but not likely.. the point is to eliminate all the trapped air to make food last longer. I just bought the set and wash and air dry the bags and reuse them- haven't bought any more bags since I purchase it. The bags are sturdy just make sure there dry before reusing. Hope this helps.

It does, despite Foodsaver designing both items in a way to try to prevent it, so that consumers buy the more expensive, larger, foodsave rather than the Freshsaver. To get it to work, you simply press the Freshsaver down firmly over the wide mouth jar adapter to ensure a good seal and it will work just fine. Alternately, there is a hose attachment that complements the jar adapter that you can modify by cutting one end off and inserting the hose end to the Freshsaver, which makes it easier to get a good seal and suction.

I have not used them with the Foodsavrr, but would expect that they would work. The problem that I ser, is that if there is any liquid in the bag at the time of sealing my could get sucked into the machine.

I'm not sure. I buy the rolls and bags that have the same packaging as the food saver I purchased. Hope this helps.

I only have a full size food saver so really can't answer. Sorry. I didn't know they made a hand held one...interesting! I would imagine it would work with both as long as u could fit the hose on...but don't know for sure.

This is my second Foodsaver, an upgrade from my first one bought via infomercial. It's fabulous. I've used the first one to seal other types of bags, but I have not tried it with the new one. However, I can tell you that you can seal without using the vacuum function first. So it will probably work just fine.

i looked up the seal a meal machine and if the food saver or ziploc bags from the store work on this machine then these bags should be able to work fine without a problem. Ive learned that any bag that has the channnels on one side for the air will work for most sealers

hello mister and missus sleepy here. this is Mark here. as to your question can mylar bags be used with the food saver, my understanding is not very well but they do work um but its not that great. but apparently well enough to remove most of the air and then when you put the deoxygenater in with the food then that should be sufficient. I hope that answers your question um go on YouTube there are videos on the subject.

My wife has only used this Vacuum Sealer with Ziploc bags and numerous Mylar bags (chips, etc.). Wish I could be of more assistance.

I have also tried the Euro Sealer. Both products work well. The Foodaple will seal ziplock bags. It seals any bag, including paper bags and frozen food bags. I would recommend this sealer. The price is great and it works well.

It is best to purchase the bags. The effect may not be the same with bags that are not compatible with the food saver.

No. The FreshSaver Handheld is designed for use with FoodSaver Vacuum Zipper Bags and FoodSaver Containers. It is not compatible with FoodSaver Canisters.

I have a Food Saver and they are compatible with that. I cannot answer for other brands. The distributor should be able to help you.

I have used various different types of Vacuum sealer bags and for the most part they work but I have found that the off brand sealer bags when you get towards the ends of the rolls they are very wrinkled and don't seal as well. I have wasted many a bag because of that. The individual bags work ok but I have found the Food Saver brands are the best.

I would not recommend any food saver canister. They always seem to lose the vacuum and I've even ended up spilling the contents because I picked it up by the top. The bags I love.

Yes on the first point--I use it with Ziploc vacuum bags and find it vastly superior to the manual pump that came with the bag starter kit.As to the second, it has a reservoir for liquid, which is fine if you end up sucking out some marinade or oil or something, but I wouldn't recommend using any vacuum on liquid food.
