Can you use this machine the vacuum seal bags that Ziploc sells?

If you are asking if you can use the standard storage or freezer bags that you would buy in the grocery store, for your vacuum sealer, the answer is NO. You must use the product specifically made for vacuum sealers.

Yes, but they must be the Ziploc VACUUM seal bags, not the regular Ziploc bags that come with pre-attached sealers.

I don't know - I've never tried to use regular ziplocks. I considered trying them out to see how it would go, but decided against it. The sealer uses heat to seal the bags, and the ones used for the Sealer System are much thicker material. *If* the sealer's heat is too much for the regular ziplocks then I'd have a mess on my hands cleaning up the melted plastic. Better to stick with the bags they recommend - which are far sturdier than any of the regular ziplocks, including the heavy freezer bags.

Yes, I have been using the vacuum seal bag that ziplock sells with good success , but you have to be sure the sealing surface is not wet or becomes wet during the vacuum sealing process, or the seal will not make.

The bags are not pre cut so you can make any size bag. We use this vacuum sealer for freezing meats and fish. I am very happy with it. Very easy to use.

At least, this model is not well designed to fit Ziploc bags. I don't know if it will fit any other brand of bags. I did not buy any other vacum pump after this.

Not really. You need the little round valve on the bag so the unit can make a seal and remove the air. It is possible to use the zipper bags buts its difficult and doesn't seal properly.

No, it does not come with a vacuum sealing machine. You'll have to purchase that separately.

Yes, these bags are designed for the handheld FreshSaver units and the attachment that goes on the hose for the heatseal units. The attachment for the heatseal hose is available on the FoodSaver website, not on Amazon. These bags are 'hit and miss.' Sometimes they work great, sometimes not at all. Sometimes they allow a vacuum but lose it quickly or over several days. With these bags, you take your chances if they will create or hold a vacuum.

I didn't get an image to your question so I think you are asking about the Ziploc Storage bags, if so they stay sealed for almost forever, you can unseal and reseal, they are the best!

So far i've just used the Food Saver brand of bags. But you should be able to use any bags. I'm not happy with the performance of my Rival vacuum sealer though. It worked great the first few times using it. We haven't used it very often and we are already having problems with it. It's suctioning fine but the sealer does not kick in to seal. We've only had it for around 6 months. We keep the rubber part that does the seal protected so it doesn't dry out or flatten by wrapping it in the original packaging and still it's not working propertly. So, I don't recommend this product.

These bags work with ANY clamp style vacuum sealer machine - Foodsaver, Deni, Cabela's, Weston, VacMaster, Rival... any one!

HiI'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.

Absolutely, then go on amazon and buy cheap vacuum sealer bags, they are less than half the cost and work just as well.

My understanding is the bags are not for freezer use, so the answer is no. To do that you'd need to purchase their bigger food saver sealing machine.

Yes! I absolutely love these bags. I use it I. My V2222 sealer. No complaints

I believe, as an additional accessory, you can purchase vacuum seal canisters for this unit. I have only used it with bags. The canisters due work with the accessory port. Hope this helps.

From my understanding, you can use the bags that are made for the unit. I agree with Clark Isaacs, contact the manufacture for they are the best person to answer this question.

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.
