IT sucks in the bad way, and not where it needs to , like getting the air out of the bag you are trying to seal, waste of money. the widest bag you can use with this one is 10' wide, the length is how ever you want it to be, but bewarned, it hardly...

I have had my V448 for quite some time. After cutting bag to desired length, notice a natural curve to bag. Place bag into slot with natural curve down. Ensure after placing item to be vacuum sealed, you have approximate 4" of head space. Again, place into vacuum sealer with natural curve down. You say that the largest bag width is 10". It sounds as if you are using off brand bags. Foodsaver bags have one side "quilted". This quilted side allows grooves for air to be vacuumed out before sealing. Hope this helps.

I had 17 inch tires at 235 width. Fit fine, but this bag smells. I ended up throwing it away. Wasnt comfortable with the fumes.

I'ved tried and didn't have good results, it really was hit or miss as to whether or not you'd get a seal. I ended up coming back and buying the "normal" jar sealer. I wouldn't do it if I were you. I can't even seem to FIND wide mouth jars to use.

three small folds in small one package, the width is so narrow but the height is so long. I also think that the manufacturer was suctioning total air out of the form and I had a lot of trouble to put it back in their package and I paid extra money to return them, they never said any apology or credit back. Don't ever purchase it, you would be regretted soon.

yes has a lot of suction but it clogs the bag, you have to really work to clean it out

The sealer is about 12 inches wide. The bags that I use are uncut and come in a roll so I can make any size/capacity that I need and it doesn't change the width of the bag. The largest pre-cut bags that I have found are one gallon size but they fit nicely into the sealer. Hope this helps.

It did not work for me and was a waste of money. It did not properly fit the opening to allow adequate suctioning for air removal. I would not recommend this item.

John,I find the bag lets a lot if dust out....BUT it'll mulch just about anything you put thru it. For a small property like mine(110x40) it does all I ask it to. I will say this...the blower is really good, very powerful for such a small plug in but the suck on it is just ok. Wasn't expecting much from that...although it will suck up a ton of stuff directly beneath the opening...not much range. The bag attaches tightly but it's annoying to remove and empty.Hope it was helpful.

yea, but it sucks. it's basically a super thin crappy fabric sleeve. i havent found anything commercially avail that fits it yet. i say just buy some good fabric and make your own, or buy the fabric you want, and go to the dry cleaners and ask them to.

Nope, it's pretty big and there's no hope of fitting it back into the bag it came in. I would hope for something better for the price.

This bag sucks for hanging files! If you are getting for that purpose, don't do it!

No, it can only be used with the bags made for it or bags similar to those bags. It can only suck air from the bag while the suction area is laying on a flat surface.

It doesn't stick out much. It's a very neat bag. But if you stuff it full it will stick out.

there are actually heat and seal rolls you can get- those are like, a thousand times better. you can make it whatever size, and then no need to vent, you can pop them in the microwave without slitting them. I really didn't like these bags because they sometimes didn't seal well and I couldn't always tailor them to the size I needed.

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.

This bag is very narrow. I would not put more than a 3-3.5 lb dog in it. I bought it for my 1.5 dog because it looks like a computer bag but I ended up buying another bag and this one is collecting dust in the closet. Also, there is only a small inside pocket, like you'd find zipped in the side of a purse.
