Can I use it with the CASO Vacuum Sealer Canisters in addition to the bags?

The Caso 20 is the ONLY Caso vacuum machine that does NOT work with the vacuum canisters unless you rig your own connection,the seller that answered that it does is just plain WRONG.

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!

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.

Must one use the "vacuum bags" inside the fabric bag or can you use it "as is?"

I don't believe so but that's not really what it's designed for.I have vacuumed coffee and trail mix which other sealers seem to have problems with however

Yes you can. I suggest double seal on both ends. Also I suggest food saver bags, some other brands are just not up there in quality. The price difference is well worth it.

Can't say for all sealers but they do work well with Food Saver. I've had NO problems with these bags sealing even with reuse over & over.

Simple answer is No. The long answer is maybe. The bags are too wide for my foodsaver and if you ruffle the edge to make it fit, the folds won't seal. Also, the smoothness of the bags creates a vacuum barrier that will not allow full evacuation of the bag. We used a straw attached to the hose assembly to vacuum the bag bottom-to-top, withdrawing the straw as needed, and then quickly closed and finished sealed the bag. This method did require pre-sealing all but 1/4" of the bag top, allowing just enough opening for straw insertion. TMI? :)

While I haven't tried it myself there is a review http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-FSFRSH0055-FreshSaver-Handheld-Vacuum-Sealing/product-reviews/B002NGNBR8?pageNumber=2 that says no it will not work.

These bags are designed for a hand pump only. Will not work with a vaccum Sealer that uses heat to seal the bag.

You can cut the bag in half or to fit the item you are vacuum sealing. Then just seal the open end(s) before vacuum sealing. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes you can just seal s bag, just hit the seal button once you insert the bag. I have never tried using regular bags, but I think they would be too thin and not melt properly, and possibly ruin the vacuum slot. Not recommended by Foodsaver.

I know I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to contribute that Weston brand bags are of excellent quality. I find, especially since Foodsaver downgraded the quality of their brand bags, Weston bags are far superior. Of course they will work with any of your vacuum sealers. I hope Weston continues to make such great quality bags.

Sure you could but if I were you I would purchase a cleaner and sealer separately. I've not noticed this product being very effective.

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!

I think you can use them because the bags are just like rival bags and I also use Rival vacuum sealer bags in mine.
