Does it vacuum and sealer silver bags?

It does not vacuum the air from the silver Mylar bags, but it will seal them. Recommend using oxygen absorbers for those bags and pushing all the air out first, then sealing.

The instructions say it can be used on chip bags but we have not tried it as of yet.

I assume you're referring to the vacuum, seal and shut off. If so, yes, it performs all those automatically.

Yes, it works with the foodsaver bags. I ordered a roll when I ordered the sealer, and cut the rolls down to smaller sizes when I need them. The only problem I have run into is sometimes I dont get a side sealed correctly when I cut them down, and the sealer will just keep vacuuming and not seal. Now I know to just reseal the side I cut, and once I do that it works perfectly.

Its hard to say without know what your trying to seal, but it won't pull a complete vacuum if there are gaps where air can get trapped, its not powerful enough for that. It helps to arrange the food so that it is at the bottom of the bag and compacted as much as possible before hand.

I purchased this item as a gift. But did notice it had a vacuum hose which I assumed was to do just that. Sorry I couldn't really answer your question completely.

yes it will you can use any vacumm seal bags. I perfer LEM because one end is already sealed.

No, the vacuum hole on those clothes bags are made for the diameter of a regular vacuum hose. This has a nozzle that is smaller and concave like a suction cup.

it doesn't come with vacuum bags. The vacuum is more like a ShopVac with air in and air out openings. I assume whatever it sucks in simply blows out the other end.

No. There's a special vacuum seal on the bags you have to use with it. However Ziploc does now make bags with the little round vacuum thingy in the corner.

You can definitely use the ziplock-and-squeeze approach. And you'll need to do that if there's a lot of liquid in the bag. I just think that vacuum sealers are cool.

Yes, it should work just fine with vacuum bags. I have to hold down my small rugs when vacuuming cuz the vac sucks up the whole rug. Good suction.

I dont know if it will pick up leaves I have not tried too but it said it can vacuum.

Yes, it seals chip bags very well. I've also used it to seal open bread bags and freezer bags.

It actually pulls moisture from the bag as it seals. I prefer to use the freezer dishes that attach to the vacuum pack hose.

Yes. I do that frequently with cheese. For any sealing the key is to start with a longer bag, and cut it open right at the seam. It helps if you do not crunch that side that is going to be resealed. This is the best vacuum sealer I've seen and used. Have been using it for 4+ years and do almost all of my dehydrated vegetables, sloppy joe's, Chili, Black bean soup, chicken... you get the picture. I only use the heavy's bags, and only from the company I purchases the sealer.

Yes it works. Although I am using it to seal poly bags, I have used it earlier to seal vinyl bag.

Yes. These bags will work with all standard vacuum sealer machines (like Foodsaver, Weston, Cabela's. Seal-A-Meal, VacMaster...). They are a universal bag and a great value!
