what is included with the foodsaver?

It came with a starter kit of bag material, a hose and adapter so you can use vacume canisters.

You get the unit itself, a connection hose for sealing jars (but no jar sealer attachments... Just the hose). You also get a few sampler bags of various sizes... Seems like they even tossed in a roll out two of bags (not large rolls though). That is it as far as I remember. It is a great machine though, and the only foodsaver with a lifetime warranty

I believe there were some bags and a roll of bags. Other than that, it was just the machine. We had one for many, many years and the seals went bad so after doing my homework, we chose this one because it was the only one with a lifetime warranty. Personally, I don't know how a household can survive without one. We hunt, fish and boil peanuts. Greatest thing ever.

It has the hose attatchment for containers and a wide roll of seal bags and a narrow roll. It is well worth the money.

Roll of 8" x 16', roll of 11" x 16' and a few 8" pre made bags and 11" bags. Great purchase.

a few 8" and 11" bags/rolls, a vacuum adapter for containers. by the way, I have found the machine very ineffective when trying to vacuum seal dried foods. it seems that the dried foods may be penetrating the bags. i'm unsure of the actual nature of the problem. I've wasted a lot of bags and they're not cheap.

The hose came with the Foodsaver. They seem to work well. For instance, we keep lettuce in a vacuum and it was still crisp after 3-4 weeks.

The roll received with the machine does fit inside it. Not sure about the ones we purchased beforehand (they were Deni brand). We returned the unit. Recommend Foodsaver.

Amy, If you have the entire FoodSaver unit it comes with a vacuum tube. You will love this device and will save you tons of money on vacuum sealing vs. baggies or any other way you try to wrap your items to freeze.

Yes, this will work with Foodsaver bags. You will save a lot of money by using FoodVacBags or VacMaster bags, though. They are much less expensive.

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

It does not have an extra port, but it does come with an attachment that allows it to be used on other foodsaver product.

Most of the foodsaver models allow you to seal before it vacuums all the air out. Be sure to get a model with the drip tray. it comes with a good instruction book. Ours is much older and we love it.

Accordin to the official FoodSaver website, non of their bags, canisters, or marinators contain BPA. They are all BPA free!

I would think so.. I tried sealing food in an old potato chip bag using a hot knife to seal.. IT WORKS! so i'd think it should work with FoodSaver. Potato Chip Bag material is very superior and keeps vacuum for a long time.

The hose comes with the FoodSaver and on the meat keeper pictured here there is a place to put that hose to suck the air out on top. I hope this answers your question.

There is an adapter for that fits on the hose. I saw it while perusing the FoodSaver site under the "accessories" tab.

At the time I chose the Foodsaver FSFSSL3810-000 because of the price offered by Amazon and I am a Prime member. This device has a cutter for the rolls of vac bags and an accessory hose which can be used to vacuum other devices.

Yes, it work very well. We have three of them. They are of much better quality than any of the Foodsaver containers we have.

I've used a foodsaver for years to package bags of soup. There is some soup pulled into the drip tray but it is very minimal. The slot that the unit is pulling the air out through is very thin and once the liquid hits it, the added resistance is enough to trip the sealing strip to heat and seal the bag.

I would use the Foodsaver bags myself. They are pretty heavy duty and are built for the machine. I would imagine other types of plastic bags would work, they would have to be thicker though.

Danial. Yes, I have a Food Saver Model as well and this is the second time ordering both sizes. I works very well. Down side is that you have re-roll a smaller amount so it will fit inside the unit. Which really is not a big deal and very easy to do. Not to mention ten times cheaper then buying the oem brand or even generic. Good Luck. cga
