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.

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

I've only used them with thd Food Saver system but I imagine they work much the same way. Although they're a bit thinner, we've had no problems and the difference in price us wonderful.

The Frisper vacuum machine has 2 types of bags: zipper bags in 1 qt. and 1 gal. sizes. The other type uses a flexi hose and fits in the hole of the bag, the other end into the Frisper to vacuum the air out. I have both a Frisper and a Food Saver and I use the Frisper bags with the Frisper and the Food Saver bags with the Food Saver. I don't know how you can use the Food Saver bags with the Frisper but you could try to see if it works for you.

I have the Rival food sealer and these work perfectly for me...I'd assume they would work with the Foodsaver as well?

I use it with the Food Saver and it works fine. I never head of the VonShef Vacuum Food Saver but I would think it would work with any Vacuum Food Saver systerm.

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.

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.

This works great with my food saver for sealing jars. I do not have a hand held so I can't comment. I do know that most Food Saver brand use the same parts.

I think you would have to buy the Foodsaver tube attachment & still am not sure it would work. This is a great sealer, but works best with the bags that it is made seal since it has the "port" to seal it.

No - According to the company (I contacted them 3/15/2011). It works with the more expensive heat sealing type FoodSaver machines - the ones with a special "port" - Not the FreshSaver. If you read the comments on my review, I address it there. Unless the company has a new version of this machine (I don't think so) - the FreshSaver will not work with the lids. It works with the FreshSaver ziploc bags & deli containers. This machine is meant for short term storage - not canning or freezing long term.

Food Saver Bags will work properly. I buy whatever is on sale. The different brands all work as good as the others. The Seal-A-Meal however, is the better sealer of the brands I have tried.

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.

The Freshsaver handheld machine normally only works with zipper bags and deli containers. I have seen homemade adapter hoses listed on an auction we'bsite.

It works with any Food Saver that has the pull out vacume tube and from what I can find the 4800 series of Food Saver unit's have a pull out tube for use with canisters like this one.

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.

They work great in mine. We have a Food Saver, that we have been using then with, and would purchase them again. Sometimes have to double seal with very moist food, but had to do that with Food Saver bags also.
