Does this item work with Ziploc Brand Space Bags? If not what brand of vacuum bags does it work with? :)

It does. You have to hold the vacuum directly on it to pump, because it does not "click into place" or any such thing. But as long as you hold it snugly against the bag it works just fine.

This little gizmo works perfectly with Ziplocs. In fact, I much prefer it to a vacuumn cleaner. It is light, simple, fast, and makes storage a breeze. The bright colored handle is visible even in a mess of boxes and wrapping material. I would rate it one of the smartest devices that I have purchased in months. And I hate to admit this, but it's fun to use as well.

The Sous Vide Supreme SVV-00200 Vacuum Sealer (http://www.amazon.com/Sous-Vide-Supreme-SVV-00200-Vacuum/dp/B003EGIIN8/ref=sr_1_3?s=kitchen&srs;=3041586011&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1386138678&sr;=1-3&keywords;=sous+vide) is designed to work with those bags. If you don't already have a Sous Vide machine, the Sous Vide promo pack is a relatively good buy (http://www.amazon.com/Sous-Vide-Supreme-PSV-00144-Cooking/dp/B007P25A38/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&srs;=3041586011&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1386138678&sr;=1-1&keywords;=sous+vide ).

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

It will work with any vacuum that has a standard hose connection. We have an upright vacuum with a hose attachment and it works fine. The kit comes with two adapters for the hose connection.

Hi I've used other vacuum bags when I wanted to rewrap cheeses and meats that I received from friends with different machines. I assume that would apply to the bags you're asking about. Vacuum and heat seal worked good on other bags. I hope that helps.

I've had no problem with Zip Lock bags. I've found it useful to seal either brand while on a semi cushioned surface and rub your finger over the seal twice, once in one direction then from the other. The ONLY advantage or feature I see in the Food Saver brand I like is the square bottom of the gallon size. That to me is not worth double the price of Zip Lock.

No, The bags must be Vacuum bags. They have a special texture on the inside which allows all the air to pass through and vacuum to be applied throughout the bag. They are made of a material which is non-permeable. so they do not allow air to get in. However, they work on Ziploc brand vacuum bags. they are cheap and great and very tough and long lasting.

Yes, this works with ALL brands of non-chamber (bag outside sealer) sealers. They will also work with the chamber sealers, however, chamber sealers use a less expensive non-embossed bag.

I have only used the food saver brand, so I can't answer to using any vacuum bag,

Hello! I am assuming that you are referring to the boxes of space bags you can order from the TV or are sold in Sam's Club, Costco or BJ's, right? The Handi-Vac needs doesn't have a large enough sealer mouth to fit the space bag 'plug-in' portal, so--no, you can't. It can be used for the Ziploc vacuum food bags, though, and the FoodSaver plastic boxes/containers for marinating.

Check the plate with the serial number and model number on your vacuum. It may state what bags to use. I recently saw this on my vacuum that I have had for 21 years! If they do fit and you purchase them, they are a little hard to get on. Just keep trying until you get it into place. These bags are excellent, especially with the sticker to cover the opening when you take it off. They're a great price too.

No, I bought it since it was recommended to go with the Ziploc bags and it doesn't attach. I don't know what to do with it?? I used my vaccumn cleaner hose instead and it worked great!

Well since I don't know what vacuum you ordered I can't say. These bags shown that I purchased and left feedback on were for the Oreck upright that takes CC bags. If you are unsure, contact the 800 Oreck number and ask them which bag your vacuum takes. It should have come with a bag, you could look inside and know what bags to purchase. Good luck.

I have even gotten the ziplock hand pump bags to work with this thing. As long as it's the right material, it will work.

It should work with any vacuum. If the nozzle is a different size you could use some quick removing blue painters tape to seal it up to your vacuum, then easily remove the tape once done. This tool really isn't very good though. There has to be something better out there. It's a little too wide to fit between some refrigerator elements and it collapses when clogged. When that happens you have to unclog it or it doesn't work at all. I would not have bought this product if I knew then what I know now.

Hey! I just ordered the bags from Amazon at the same time I bought the vacuum. the Amazon site suggested them actually. worked for me!
