Do I use my regular vacuum with theses bags?
1971317
Yes, as long as your vacuum has a hose. They are great for putting away blankets and heavy comforters for the summer. I have all the heavy bedding stored out of sight under one bed.
1971318
Yes! I don't even own a vacuum so I use a DustBuster and it works just fine.

Yes. But I think I should tell you that I used 4 or 5 of these bags. I was pleased when they shrunk down my blankets and comforter. I then put the shrunken bags into a closet. A couple of weeks later I opened the closet door and all the bags had expanded to their normal size. I didn't overfill them, so I don't know why they didn't work as advertised. When I placed two twin comforters in the largest size bag, the seam ripped while I was sucking out the air even though there had been plenty of room. I don't know if I got two boxes of faulty bags or if they all have problems. But my advice is either try a different brand or buy a single bag of this brand to see if it works correctly. Yes.

you have to use a vacuum with a hose attachment--either an upright vacuum with a hose for upholstry, drapes, etc. or a canister vacuum. we only have wood floors, so we don't own a vacuum. I just squeeze the air out by kneeling on them and squishing them down, and it works just fine. I'm sure that a vacuum would certainly make it easier, but it's not necessary. these bags have made a world of difference in organizing my linen cabinet! I used them to pack 2 pillows, a winter-weight down comforter and a lightweight down comforter (I haven't used the 5th large size bag yet), and they now take up a fraction of the space!

absolutely, regular house vacuum does just fine, a shop vac would also have no problems. It's just pulling air out.

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.

Yes you can. The vacuum is better as a hand held though......it's very top heavy with the attachments. Has great suction.

Your sealer is made to use with reuseable bags with vac port built into bag. So yeas you are correct, these won't work

You have to have a vacuum that has a hose you can put into the fitting on the bag. The fitting size is universal to all the vacuums on the market today. I don't know if you read my review....but these bags work great for the first couple of weeks and then they loose their integrity and the shrink disappeared in everyone of my bags in under two months. I wish you better luck if you get these bags. Linda

Probably not. They are smooth bags that do not have the channels that most other vacuum sealer bags need to be able to suck the air out of the bags.

I don't know what vacuum you have but yes... you can put them in just about any vacume. You can leave it as a tablet and put it in the bag before you put the bag on the vacuume or as I do, crush it up and suck it up into the bag. The smell is stronger that way. It is made to go onto a pocket in the back of the bag on an Oreck vacuume. I have a cleaning business and i use these just about every day. My vacuum always smells fresh and clean.

Yes, they can be reused or at least I have reused them. I do use cheaper plastic non Ziploc type bags that you normally would use a twist tie with inside the vacuum bags but I don't use any means to close them. This keeps the vacuum bags clean inside but allows air to be removed.

I have a Rival vacuum sealer and I really like the bags. I've used the sealer bags where you cut the bags to the desired length and seal both ends. These eliminate the extra step.

I do not use bags. I only use my Reynolds vacuum sealer with the special lids for Mason Jars. It works fabulously with the Mason jars.

The "Ultimate G" series Kirby vacuum cleaners do use this type bag. I do not know if your Classic III can use the same bags or not. The user manual of the Classic III talks about emptying the "filter bag" and reusing it. I suggest you contact your local Kirby retailer and ask them.

Yes. You can use either the heavier hepa rated bags, or a lighter/cheaper paper variant. The bags are quite large and last a good amount if time as they don't lose suction as they fill up. I will NEVER go back to ineffective bagless vacuum cleaners. The bags are shared with a Kenmore version, so you can get them at Sears as well.

Yes you can just seal s bag, just hit the seal button once you insert the bag. I have never tried using regular bags, but I think they would be too thin and not melt properly, and possibly ruin the vacuum slot. Not recommended by Foodsaver.

They are for different vacuums. The I bags are for use with the Hoover Canister Vacuum Cleaner and the Q bags are for use with the Hoover Upright Cleaner

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.

The "U" type bag is for an upright vacuum. I have a few bags if you'd like I can give them to you. I have a new vacuum now. Drea_Alberga@yahoo.com
