Does this work with Mylar bags?

Yes, it seals mylar bags just fine, but it can be tricky to get a good vacuum pulled in a smooth mylar bag, compared to the textured bags you'd use for food storage.

Hi. I have foil lined, 5 mm mylar coffee bags and it works great! There is a variable timer, but it is hot enough to seal.

Yes this will work with Mylar bags. You will have to adjust the number setting so that it has a longer time for the thermal sealer to seal the Mylar bag. For 5 gallon Mylar bags or bags wider than what this unit can seal you have to seal in two or three steps.

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 don't own this scooper but having just looked at it I don't see why it wouldn't. The product does say that it works with any bag.

This product is designed to seal mylar bags as well as other types of plastic bags. The adjustable temperature makes this appropriate for a very wide range of product thicknesses and materials.

Probably won't work with regular bags. The thing is designed with a long strip of plastic that you tie at the bottom and then pull through and cut when you are ready to dump. Then you pull another length of bag down and knot it. I don't know how you'd attach a regular bag with this set up

Yes, it works with the foodsaver bags. I ordered a roll when I ordered the sealer, and cut the rolls down to smaller sizes when I need them. The only problem I have run into is sometimes I dont get a side sealed correctly when I cut them down, and the sealer will just keep vacuuming and not seal. Now I know to just reseal the side I cut, and once I do that it works perfectly.

Yes it does but it is not quite as handy as I thought it would be. You have to hold it open with one hand while you put the bags in with the other. Works but with some difficulty.

Yes but the quality ziplock freezer bags don't work because the zipper part is too thick. Use regular cheap store brand ones

Sorry. I do not know. Try calling the company (516) 876-8643. They manufacture the bag so they should know which units are compatible with that bag.

It has an auxillary port and hose, so I imagine you could use it for larger bags if they are compatible. I would search for the largest bags available to see.

Yes, this will work with Foodsaver bags. You will save a lot of money by using FoodVacBags or VacMaster bags, though. They are much less expensive.

It is not easy to vacuum seal Mylar bags but it can be done. I insert a very thick straw into the bag with the tube for the lid sealer attached to take the air out. There are some good YouTube demos on the procedure. I also use a flat iron to seal most of the bag so that only the straw space is not sealed when I begin to remove the air.

Yes. These bags will work with all standard vacuum sealer machines (like Foodsaver, Weston, Cabela's. Seal-A-Meal, VacMaster...).They are a universal bag and a great value!

It works with any of the other similar bags but I have used ziploc bags and find them vastly disappointing compared to the FoodSaver brand. I also have some Debby Meyer vacuum seal bags that seem to be better than Ziploc but I still prefer the Foodsaver as I have not yet had one single bag become unsealed after freezing where it seems the Ziploc bags are constantly unsealed! Not worth trying other brands in my opinion!

I have used it with Sears canister and an Oreck upright. Make sure you vacuum well first, then change to a new bag.

As far as I know Mylar doesn't have BPA. I do like these bags they are heavy and have no holes in them as I have seen reported on other bags of this kind

Yes. It only attaches with velcro. And by the way, my bag ripped at the top seam less than two months after using. I wouldn't buy it if I were you.Clint Engel
