Can I use another brand of bag? (Leftovers from another machine)

Yes. We bought the commercial bags on Amazon. They work fine. We had to re roll some off the rolls because they were too big. We rolled it onto our empty rolls and it fit.

Kat, you would have to try- I can't imagine why not, because the bags can only heat so high, regardless of which machine used. this machine will take either the rolls or the individual bags. If you have any friend with a foodsaver, all the bags should work between them - take your bags over to the friend's house and check.

I am not sure, I threw out the last bag I had. I know you can check out into online. I am not the seller by the way.

We use recycled plastic bags - it doesn't matter what brand, as long as they are about 10-13 gallon sized. The inner plastic bin is separate so you pull it up a little and tuck the bags in around the outside of the inner bin and inside the outer rim of the trash can itself.

It may be possible if you remove some of the other bags attached. You could probably do it, it might be difficult but I don't see why not.

I don't believe you can. The bags used with a vacuum machine have a connection for the machine. The bags I ordered did not have such a connection.

My best guess is yes that you can, but to be sure, go to the company website. Call them, they are very responsive and cooperative. These people are the best and in the US. By that I mean their customer service will speak in a dialect you can understand. I have tried several different types of bags and once I learned that you have to press down the cover this machine seals really great.

I have never tried to reuse the bags, however I don't think that this would be a good idea, because of possible food contamination. I do not think that you can clean these type of bags as good as regular zip lock type bags! You can buy these bags in bulk, already cut and sealed on one end for approx. 2.5 cents each from Lemonhead kitchen supplies over at e-****y. I hope this helps you! This machine is FANTASTIC! I saw this same model and breand machine at Target for $79.99! Amazon offers a great saving! Thanks! I hope that I was able to help you!

I would think you could, but beware, as the quality is lacking...these bags are made out of very fine, very thin mesh.

I use Trader Joe bags when I go to Wegman's or Gerrity's...I have used other no name reusable bags in several stores. I see no reason why you could not use this bag anywhere...the idea is to reuse...I have never been told you have to use a certain store's bags. Hope that helps.

yes, that's the way I use it. You can buy "shredder bags" or just smaller ones in general. It still makes a mess when you take the bag out though. :)

Yes, you can, just remove it and leave the other part in the back of it. When you use the bag, then you remove that part.

You can wash and reuse these bags. I probably would not if you used the bag in the microwave or boil it. That's just me.

Yes. I use off-the-shelf bags; however, you do get a supply from simplehuman when you purchase this wonderful can.

The bags can be reused if you wash them out from previous use. Understand, it will decrease in size each time you cut open the sealed bag.

I don't think so. I returned my bag. It was so small and I didn't like the material it was made with. Sorry but much help!

You can use your own bags. There is a hole with teeth to tuck the excess bag.

Not neatly, there's alot of leftover bag. But I use regular bags. You canbuy the fitted ones for not THAt much more than the regular, but I'd rather just get them at the store. I did buy the special bags for the small side. I use that side for trash and the big side for recycling.
