Have you tried the Euro Sealer before? Is this better? Will this seal Zip lock bags? Thanks in advance!

no i have not tried the Euro Sealer. I have had a cheap sealer before and it worked better than the Foodaple. The Foodaple tend to burn through the plastic to seal and it get old taking out the battery out after every use. Would i buy this one again no.

This do not work as advertise. I used it once then it was not working anymore. I will not recommend it.

I found this to do Avery good job in sealing plastic bags. It is not like Zip lock bags but it does Avery good job of sealing the bags.

I have also tried the Euro Sealer. Both products work well. The Foodaple will seal ziplock bags. It seals any bag, including paper bags and frozen food bags. I would recommend this sealer. The price is great and it works well.

Sorry, I have not tried the Euro Sealer before. The Foodaple was purchase for light sealing. So far no issue.

I have a Rival vacuum sealer and I really like the bags. I've used the sealer bags where you cut the bags to the desired length and seal both ends. These eliminate the extra step.

I dont recall it being on my bag either (I've since used it all up!) But I do know that if you want it to last longer seal it well in a ziploc and keep it in the freezer. I do that with mine and it lasts months. Hope that helps a little!

I had some trouble with these sealing. I used this brand and never had an issue Sure Luxury Vacuum Sealer Bags, 8 Inch by 50 Feet Roll

Yes it works. Although I am using it to seal poly bags, I have used it earlier to seal vinyl bag.

I use mylar and find them extreemly durable and they work well with the heatsealer. Poly bags are more fragile and can melt too much on the heat sealer. They are cheeper. If you are not looking at long term storage or using for back packing or camping than poly may be OK for you. I just prefer Mylar. Bying it in large quantities saves money and gets the cost down a bit.

I use Ziplock brand bags with success. With any bags you use, take extra care to make sure the bag is locked securely. I press the edge down several times all the way across to make sure there is no leak at the seal. Then I check periodically to make sure it is still sealed. If air is leaking back into the back I just zap it with the sealer again.

Polyethylene for sure of differing thicknesses. The sealer uses heat to seal so I guess any thermoplastic might work. I use the sealer for 1-6mil polyethylene bags. The sealer has an adjustable setting that you vary for different thicknesses--I assume it is a timer circuit. In any event the heat element shuts off after an adjustable period for different thicknesses.

I have been perfectly satisfied with the saver I got. Recommend you check to see if the threads on the one you are looking at are thick and will last. Also, make sure the seal ring(s) are replaceable.

I have used Kool Seal over the past six years on my flat metal roofs and have been very pleased with it's performance. It has lived up to every claim and my roofs have been leak free since I started using it. I recommend it without reservation. I hope this helps.

HiI'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.

You can definitely use the ziplock-and-squeeze approach. And you'll need to do that if there's a lot of liquid in the bag. I just think that vacuum sealers are cool.

I use the ziplock manual hand pump that came with my first ziploc kit. I've been using it for almost a year now. I really like these bags for freezing short term items.

We use 1 mil poly bags, but look at the details to see which bags can be used in each sealer. I like Uline's Impulse sealers the best!

I have done a lot of research on vac sealers ,I purchased a food saver designed for sportsman today , and the duty cycle is pathetic (tired of waiting), it is going back tomorrow. I am going to bite the bullet , and pay the price for the Weston 2300 , all of the reviews seem to be good to great on this sealer (only bad complaint is bulky size ), if you research it will do canning jars also with a little research (another brands hose). also I have seen Weston bags on amazon.( Also you did put this posted question, in the results for the 2300 model ) so I will assume you are looking at toe 2300 model

Sous Vide Supreme SVV-00200 Vacuum Sealer. It works ok, but not great. If there is liquid in the pouch, it can be difficult to vacuum and seal. I usually put a piece of paper towel at the top of the pouch if I have liquid in the pouch. If there's no liquid in the pouch it works just fine for home use.

I had an older model for one year before I purchased this one . I have no trouble with it sealing ! Maybe people do not like it because they have to push down the "lock" before it will work ? Heaven's !! Not fully automatic ? LOL ! I love mine as do my nurse's and my aid's !
