do you have to buy certain bags for different food savers. I got a 3400 series.

Far As I Know, I Think They Are Pretty Much All Universal. I Have Bought All Of My Bags (In The Rolls) Off Of Amazon And Have Had Very Good Luck With Them.

I'm not sure. I buy the rolls and bags that have the same packaging as the food saver I purchased. Hope this helps.

When you use the Food Saver Machine it automatically sucks the air out. You can use it with moist or dry items. I love this product as I like to buy in bulk sometimes at Sam's or Costco's and then I bring it home and divide it up. I'll sometime make the bags ahead of time but it depends on the size of the items you are freezing.

These bags work with the regular FoodSaver, not with the handheld FreshSaver. FreshSaver bags have a zipper type seal across the top and then the air is vacuumed out by the FreshSaver through a special hole in the bag designed for that purpose.

I have the food saver 3200 series and bought these bags .They work great with mine it also seals not clamps the bags.

Yes, it requires bags. I bought 30 for $12, thinking after I ran out of them I'd use regular grocery store bags. But so far I haven't run out of the liners that I bought. They fit so nicely. I actually think I'll buy the liners again once I run out, since we don't go through them very quickly.

I do not see any reason the bags could not be used. I have the Food Saver Model V2470 and my 11X50' Roll works just fine.

Dear J, I use different brands of food saver bags with my unit. As long as the bags are designed for vacuum sealing you should be fine. Enjoy!

Yes. We purchased a food saver from wal-mart for 100 dollars not cheap, none of them are but this the cheapest we found. It was a zip-lock. We had it about 4 months and the heat seal got a a bulge in it and rendered it pretty much useless. We did not use it excessively nor for commercial reasons. A friend of mine purchased the FoodSaver V3840 she has had it 4 years. Uses it after every shopping trip. Hope this helps.

It requires specific bags however there is an off brand version of them. I personally use the branded ones. They last long enough that I don't mind. Price doesn't really add up that much.

No, I do not. I know we tried to get a sealer for our old Food Saver and finally gave up and just got a new one. Sorry.

From my understanding, you can use the bags that are made for the unit. I agree with Clark Isaacs, contact the manufacture for they are the best person to answer this question.

There were four 8 X 11 bags that came with my unit, so you pretty much need to buy any other bags that you need to use!I bought pint sized bags (food saver brand) 5 X 9's and I went through the box last summer. Our new garden was a success.

I have used various different types of Vacuum sealer bags and for the most part they work but I have found that the off brand sealer bags when you get towards the ends of the rolls they are very wrinkled and don't seal as well. I have wasted many a bag because of that. The individual bags work ok but I have found the Food Saver brands are the best.

I use a Food Saver brand and it's OK. I hope to buy a nicer version soon but in the meantime, I think you just want something to get as much air out as possible.

The grill itself is the same in all cases. The different model numbers just indicate different accessories, like the number of bags and whether they have tongs and a recipe book or not. The RG12 comes with 12 bags, RG24 with 24, and so on.

I have a Kenmore Seal and Save and the bags work great with mine. I've read reviews from people who own many different brands and they seem to work for everyone.

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.
