do you just hook up any vacuum to suck the air out? or is there a specific type to use?

I hook it up to my VacMaster Vacuum sealer but I think you can also use these with Foodsavers Vacuum machines.

Hi Mike, I use this item with my Vacupack Deluxe vacuum sealer. You can use this with any vacuum sealer that has the air hose attachment (for example: the Food Saver vacuum sealer). These containers are great to vacuum all the air out for storing bread or other baked goods in. Also, I use them to marinate beef jerky. I hope this helps. Ask any questions anytime you need to.

This is designed to be used with a vacuum sealing system. A regular vacuum will not work with this item.

The hole fits the accessory hose from the Ary Vacmaster chamber vacuum. It and the hose also fit the Weston vacuums as well (same size hole/hose). If you mean a household vacuum, no.

These containers are junk. They should hold any vacuum from any vacuum sealer.I bought two of these containers. The first container broke within one week and the second broke in about a month of use.

i don't know but i can tell you that it hooks to a very small hose. i don't know if the various manufacturers use the same size hose or not.

You create the vacuum using the vacuum pump that comes with the ThriftyVac system, as shown here: http://youtu.be/wJbVzBciQcY

I just vacuum the vent. Changing the filter... I think we need to ask Dyson.

I would buy some of those thick storage bags that you can attach a vacuum cleaner to! You know, the ones you can put clothes in etc...This would do a great job of removing all the air and would only take a few seconds to do. I should probably patent this idea!

You shouldn't have to do anything but I think the vacuum has to be upright when using it.

You can squish the air out, however, a vacuum will make the job faster and will give a better result. Ie: squashing out more air leaving the bag even smaller.

I simply vacuum over the intake and it gets the dust out well. Then Windex and a cloth around the fan ring. I do the every week or so. They're great.

Yes. You can just squeeze the air out. I thought the vacuum hose had to fit. So I just opened the little opening that it has and sat on it.

I use air from an air compressor. Just blow from every direction. This will get most of the junk out.

You can use a shop vac, but it will fill it very quickly. I don't know what the CFMis but it's about equal to your vacuum. The fan is pretty robust.

We use a manual pole vacuum attachment with hose . The method works great with no issues.

The vaccuum really sucks all the air out. Squishing it won't do the full purpose

I used the Dirt Devil stick vac which Amazon sells for $19. I used the nozzle attachment it comes with for cleaning corners. You don't need an expensive vacuum. A small one has enough suction for this purpose.

Any vacuum will do...just make sure it has a hose attachment. The hose can vary in diameter, as the space around the suction point on the bag is smaller than the vacuum hose diameter and the space also includes a hard plastic ring that will support the vacuum hose without sucking in the plastic bag.

A friend told me you could use a air compressor to clean and reuse. I bought extra and just changed mine after 6 months. Love my Roomba.

Vacuum gets hooked up to a garden hose to create pressure and suction. Bag is removeable. Much easier than trying to fuss with the filter/pump and a vacuum.

I only use it when the system has a vacuum. That way no air if you hold the unit upright
