years ago I had a foodsaver unit that would also seal potato chip bags, will this unit do the same thing, and other bags as well

I tried it on a bag of M&Ms; and it sealed it but didn't vacuum seal it. It made the noise like it was trying to suck the air out but didn't.

It depends on the bag. When we used it on the chex mix bag, no problem, on the lays chips bag the bag was thinner and it started to get stuck. Be aware that too thin of a bag will cause a problem.

Definitely! I use only Weston Vacuum bags (quart size) with my Food Saver vacuum sealer, and my daughter uses only Weston Vacuum bags (including gallon size) with her Rival Seal-a-Meal. We both like them much better than our machines' brand bags -- plus they are much cheaper.

I am not sure, but I have used the original FoodSaver bags with it. If its the same technology then it should work.

We have a FoodSaver vacuum sealer and use these bags without issue. With the amount of bag you are forced to sacrifice between the vacuum and the sealer bar, its more like 1.5 cup useful capacity rather than a pint.

Yes you can. Just put the adapter that came with this unit on the bottom and connect the plastic hose. I don't know if you will achieve as good a vacuum as you would with one of the regular bag sealing units but it can be done. I can get pretty good results with other plastic container food saver units using this small sealer. The best answer is to go ahead and give it a try and if it works for you, do it.

Hello Patrick. This works perfectly with thin plastic film but the foodsaver bags are too thick for it and it may wont cut them properly.

You can seal bags without vaccuming the air out. I also reseal potato chip bags, brown sugar bags, etc without having to put the in foodsaver bags. any food that comes in a bag can usually be reseal with this.

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 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 don't know the answer to that one. I only bought the item. I wouldn't use anything besides the Food Saver bags and the bags are available in a lot of places. I bought the roll at Sears where you can cut the bags to the right size according to the food you are putting in. You seal one side, put the food in and then vacuum and seal the other side. I saw the bags also at Walmart. The Food Saver bags have a different texture than Ziploc bags and I think the Ziploc bags probably wouldn't vacuum seal. I would call Food Saver direct or email them to answer your question 1 (877)777-8042 or www.foodsaver.com. I don't know the answer to that one. I only bought the item.

Cut a small strip of the quilted side of a foodsaver bag. Place it at the top of the mylar bag. (The part that will go in the chamber) It will vacuum like a champ. You might have to press seal 2x as these are very thick and the vacuum sealers aren't built to seal them. Then I would advise following up sealing with a hot iron to be sure. I do this all the time & it works wonderfully. But I still add the oxygen absorbers before I vacuum seal.

Hi John, yes, probably. I bought some vacuum rolls by mistake. I used my sous vide bag sealer and it worked fine. I'm guessing that your food saver machine also seals bags by melting the plastic.

Yes! These bags work with any standard vacuum sealer. They will be perfect with a Foodsaver!

These vacuum sealers will seal almost anything. I regularly use cheap quart zip lock type freezer bags from the dollar store. I cut the zipper part off with scissors put a serving of food in, fold a pleat in the opening and vacuum and seal perfectly.

Have not tried ziplock bags. My guess is no because the heat that seals may melt the bags. The Food Saver also just seals so if you open a bag of chips you can reseal it. Wonderful machine.

I'm not sure about the generic bag? I suppose as long as the sealer can get connected to duck out the air. But yes you can seal liquid food as long as the food doesn't get in the suction area..

I heat seal bags all the time...especially chips/pretzels, etc. It's easy and I find my chips stay fresh much longer. Hope this answer helps you.
