I use mine in Food Saver model V2244. It's also called a Bag Sealer on the bottom of the machine where the serial # and other info is. This is a manual machine, where you put product in the bag, because 3 sides are already sealed, then lay the unsealed top edge into the trough (this trough collects any water/juice from product). Close machine and select your choice of just plain seal, or vacuum and seal. These generic bags work every bit as well for me, as the more expensive bags from the Food Saver brand. Many of the bags I've seen in grocery stores indicate they can be used for Food Saver brand as well as Seal-A-Meal brand. This is just my personal experience, hope it helps.

These bags work just as well as the Food Saver bags. I've had no problem with them. In fact, I enjoy the convenience of picking the correct size, load and seal. Every bit worth the money.

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.

I've used them to hold soy sauce, ranch, and bbq sauce. They have never popped open or leaked. HOWEVER, part of the lack of leaking/popping open when used for soy sauce might be because of how I pack them. When I use them for soy sauce the meal always includes rice, right? So I cram the little closed container full of soy sauce into the center of the packed rice (once it has cooled down to room temp) inside the lunch box container. The rice keeps them well in place, and if they ever did leak (which they haven't, but if they did), it will get on the rice anyway, so it would be fine. Just an idea that might be helpful, in case you're worried about it. I've used them to hold soy sauce, ranch, and bbq sauce. They have never popped open or leaked.

That was the issue I was having with this order. I have a food saver sealer and had a heck of a time trying to seal them. Finally gave up and enclosed with my food saver bags. I blew it and failed to mention that in my rating... Will try the iron method next time.

i looked up the seal a meal machine and if the food saver or ziploc bags from the store work on this machine then these bags should be able to work fine without a problem. Ive learned that any bag that has the channnels on one side for the air will work for most sealers

No problem..I only use the "seal only" feature..to seal my packaging (Not the vacuum). You dont need to turn anything off.. just follow the instructions placing the edge of the bag against the gold strip inside and press n seal! People that use the "vaccum" feature place the end of the bag inside the hollowed out portion inside which is a different place from where you do the "sealing".. The instructions will give you clarity and illustrations on how just to "seal" ( not vaccume).. Oh and to my delight.. this sealer will seal my own product bags so that youre not limited to just using the " seal o meal" bags! good luck!

Hi I'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.

When you put a bag in to seal, it starts to suck the air out. If you let it go all the way, it will stop after a few seconds and then seal. If you want to seal only (not suck the air out), just push the "seal" button.It works great on bags like potato chips and snacks things. I recently used it to reseal a bag of rice from Trader Joe's. It was perfect.One note: If you plan to seal things like potato chips, leave lots of room in the bag (rather than cutting it down). That way you can cut it open and have enough bag left to reseal for next time.

The Vacupack Elite has been able to seal any brand bag I've tried. There are really good deals on bags on Amazon. However, when I run low on bags I buy whatever the local stores offer. It's still the best sealer I've ever used. BTW, I've sealed zippered bags before, too just to see how it would do it without melting through the bag. Just turn the temp down. I still recommend bags designed for sealing.

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

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.

I've used them for carrying a variety of lunches and some sloppier items, never had a problem. Never packed them tightly in a backpack where I would imagine they could pop open. I did overstuff one with rice once. It seemed the seal got loose and didn't close as tightly after that for a week or so. Now it's back to normal. I've only owned them for 6 months.

I don't know the answer to that one. I only bought the item. I wouldn't use anything besides the Food Saver bags and the bags are available in a lot of places. I bought the roll at Sears where you can cut the bags to the right size according to the food you are putting in. You seal one side, put the food in and then vacuum and seal the other side. I saw the bags also at Walmart. The Food Saver bags have a different texture than Ziploc bags and I think the Ziploc bags probably wouldn't vacuum seal. I would call Food Saver direct or email them to answer your question 1 (877)777-8042 or www.foodsaver.com. I don't know the answer to that one. I only bought the item.

are you using the foodsaver brand bags? the Weston bags I have a problem with it holding its seal, but the foodsaver brand I've never had an issue with. do you have "quick" seal selected or "normal"? that may make a difference as well. if you are sealing meats, I've sometimes had an issue if liquid from the meat seeps up into the seal area, solved it by putting in a ziplock first, then the Foodsaver bag, then sealing as normal. hope this helps somewhat!

This bags are compatible with other leading brand vacuum sealers. We do not have a list of which ones, however. You should contact the manufacturer of the sealer to see if Seal-A-Meal rolls are compatible with their units.

After reading the 1-star reviews since receiving you question I think that most of those users (1 star) are actually having a gasket problem with their sealers. Most of the reviews are positive for this product and so is mine. Absolutely love these bags. My seal-a-Meal was having trouble also sealing bags at one point, but I just put a little cooking oil on the black gaskets and this fixed it for quite some time. (Have to keep those gaskets soft and pliable) Had to eventually replace the gaskets but these bags are very nice and work just fine in my seal-a-meal and my big Weston sealer. I buy them all the time. In fact, I was just getting ready to buy more (mixed sizes) of this product. Thanks for reminding me.

I have not used them with the Foodsavrr, but would expect that they would work. The problem that I ser, is that if there is any liquid in the bag at the time of sealing my could get sucked into the machine.
