Can you use any storage bags or containers???

Yes you can. Spectra Baby USA has milk storage bags and extra bottles but you can use anything that fits or works best for your needs.

Never tried attached storage bag direct to it but can use any container because of the universal bottle adaptor....

You can use snappies or Playtex drop ins with the adaptor. Honestly this pump is horrible...do not buy it. You will need another in 6 months or so. No customer service either.

Yes, but can use any kitchen plastic bags. Hope you are lightweight, this thing is pretty shaky

Never tried that. I use the breastmilk storage bags and medela bottles for that. Good idea though and probably would work. I would check with the manufacturer

I haven't tried yet, I'm still using the complimentary bags that came with the trash can. However, it looks as if you can use just any bags that are big enough. I just went to the kitchen and tried one of my old 13 gal bags and it fits fine, it's even a bit large but this doesn't matter, you just have to pul the strings together and push one side to the little hole on top of the plastic insert.

I have not used them for storage. I used them shopping at farmer's market then transfer to those green bags for storage.

No. There is a plastic ring that holds the bags. We had to start buying bags for our recyclables. But I still like the can a lot. It's a real space saver.

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.

We have the "storage" household essential bins. They are collapsible. Not sure if all styles/sizes are.

No, just buy round Cambro food storage containers. They're thick, qualtity plastic with lids.

I don't think there is any reason you couldn't use a plastic bag. In addition, this has been a very good home shredder. I am very happy with it. Go for it!

You can use ziplock vacuum bags it is a lot cheaper. I buy them from walmart

No, but we don't use the lids for much. Occasionally we will want to store something in frig so use lid to keep the stuff fresh. Not much help for you. Sorry.

I use mine mainly for produce and other perishables. I still use the other storage containers for my leftovers still.

I would use the Foodsaver bags myself. They are pretty heavy duty and are built for the machine. I would imagine other types of plastic bags would work, they would have to be thicker though.

You can use a vaccuum. Not all the seals hold, though. I'd say generally about 70% of these bags stay sealed. Still, they stay sealed long enough to pack them into a box for moving or storage.

No you can't, they have a special place to seal. They are extremely durable & I put things in a cheap baggie and then in the heavy duty re-seal bags from Waring, sounds counter-intuitive, but they wash out easier. I have yet to order additional bags. They wash out very well and last.

transfer into gallon size ziplock bags and use out of the smaller bags. or store in tupperware type container
