How wide is the sealing strip and vacuum chamber? I use 15 inch wide bags in my old machine that is failing.

The sealing strip is 12.5 inches long. There is a little space beyond that on either side but not more than half an inch on either side.

12 inches is about the limit on this machine......won't handle anything larger...

I'm unable to help. This was a gift for my Son & daughter in law. All I know, is they love it! I ordered extra film (11" & 8") if that helps. My son said he discovered that you can reseal other bags, such as cereal bags, chip bags, etc.

It has an auxillary port and hose, so I imagine you could use it for larger bags if they are compatible. I would search for the largest bags available to see.

I'm not sure. We use the 11" rolls and there is some room on each side but I'm not sure if 15" would fit, it would be close.

I have had my V448 for quite some time. After cutting bag to desired length, notice a natural curve to bag. Place bag into slot with natural curve down. Ensure after placing item to be vacuum sealed, you have approximate 4" of head space. Again, place into vacuum sealer with natural curve down.You say that the largest bag width is 10". It sounds as if you are using off brand bags. Foodsaver bags have one side "quilted". This quilted side allows grooves for air to be vacuumed out before sealing. Hope this helps.

The sealer will seal up to 12". I use the bags from a roll and cut the bag to fit the item. Some of mine are over 5 gallon capacity but the width is still 10 - 12 inches.

the unit is however about 21 inches high so if your opening is 15 inch square, it will not fit.

I don't have experience using foodsaver accessories with my MaxVac, but that doesn't mean they won't work. I have used FoodSaver bags! I would purchase the vacuum hose accessory offered through LEM if you plan on sealing canisters. If the FoodSaver hose fits, try it out! Either way, I'm very pleased with my MaxVac and would not hesitate to recommend it!

Fist thing is the seal the open end then measure the bag and cut to the desired length keeping in mind the thickness of the item you are storing. If the item is bulky increase the length of the bag so that it fit in the machine properly and seal correctly

This would be the Lima. Its 17in wide (see description). The Mike is 15in wide. I have had all 3 versions, so if you are trying to decide which one to go with I should be able to help. Went thru about 30 different bags till I gog just the one I wanted. Bill

I am not sure what model my vacuum is but the way I was able to figure out what bag I need was if I had a docking station or not. The vacuums that i have has the docking station, so the cardboard is longer. The coarboard for without a docking station is smaller.

I haven't measured but I would think the difference would be minimal. We had trouble with these bags not holding a vacuum after we sealed them. I wasn't too impressed.

The vacuum is 12 inches wide I don't know how wide 5 gal bags are. Hope this helps

Its about 8" wide. It works good for small cleanings when you don't want to get out hose. I would recommend getting the additional bag that picks up real fine dirt.

I specifically recall investigating this myself. I'm not current able to access the bag but remember ithe 15 inch would have to go on end and then the bag would not close. I have the large.

I just measured it and I get 15" long x 12.5" wide x 5" deep.Hope that helps.

I too own an old Foodsaver vac. I had to cut the gasket in order for it to fit. It seems to work just fine for sealing but I haven't extracted air since buying it.

It is 12" wide. I used some frame molding to cover the gaps on the sides of my 15" opening. They make a larger (and more expensive) model to fit 15" openings (trash compactor spaces)

I no longer have the dimensions, but these two go hand in hand. If yr using the 5068 bags, this is the filter you want. Other than that, you can contact the company for dimensions. Hope that helps.
