Assuming i am using the largest fitting bag, how many fluid ounces of any liquid would fit into the bag and be able to be safely sealed.

I would not fill with liquids as in the vacuum process they tend to leak out if you put to much in. The unit does a great job on fruits, meats, and vegetables from the garden. I love the unit. Last years green beans look they did when I sealed them, the peaches also. Meats do not show any sign of freezer burn. However, I tried it on a hoagie roll and it looked like a cigar after all the air was remover. It did expand back to about 90% of its original size as we opened it and did not freeze it. Man did my wife and I laugh, One second there was the roll the next It looked like a cigar.

The Largest bag that I have found and been able to use for this unit is 10" x 15". I just took one of those bags and poured 48 fluid ounces of water inside and sealed it up no problem. So at least 48 ounces but it looks like it could handle more but I'll let you takeover testing further where I left off. If you're thinking about buying the machine, its well worth it. I think its my favorite kitchen tool and I use it at least half a dozen times a day. Its paying for itself quickly in all the food its prevented from spoiling not to mention I am now able to buy large cuts of meat, portion them and seal them in bags and freeze them for later, the net price per portion saves more money and because the air is pulled out of the bags, they can stay in the freezer for years. I ate some 2 year old snapper that had been sealed and it was as good as when we bought it. I work part time at a nice restaurant and Vacmaster is the unit used by them. I had never heard of them before,mazing machine that has a lot of creative uses beyond simply sealing food (look up quick pickle and modernist cuisine uses).

No, but - to be TSA compliant bag you can use a 1- quart size zip-lock bag into which you put as many bottles of liquid 3.5 ounces or less that will fit. Then you can put the zip-lock bag with your liquids into this slightly larger "Travel Smart kit" together with non-liquid items and then pull out just the zip-lock bag when you go through security. This way your zip-lock bag can have a little extra protection during the rest of the trip.

I WILL SEAL THE ANSWER BEFORE ME ONLY THING I DO DIFFERENT IS USE MY VACUUM SEALER AND IN MOST CASES I ALSO ADD SEVERAL 3 INCH SILICA JELL,PACKS.Depends on what type of food, how full you fill the bag as well as bag size and oxygen pack size. We found in these bags if we stored say rice and filled the bag near full, one was enough. Otherwise two is called for, in fact I ordered additional larger packs for when we estimated a need. Tip, try to force all the air out before you heat seal, my wife is particularly good at this. In many cases thats all it takes to make sure one is enough.

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.

I just tried to fit a bottle and it was a tight fit. I would worry about the lack of pressurization in the baggage compartment of an airplane, and the possibility of the bottle exploding. I see that others have successfully flied with champagne, which I have never attempted.

The 30 Liter bag is massive for any laptop. I intended to use it to protect a laptop while biking, but the 30 Liter bag is so big that it barely fits into my very large backpack. I don't understand the Seal Line measurements: the 30 Liter bag is rated as 11 x 19 inches. Lying flat, its dimensions are 17 inches by 30 inches. Obviously, the discrepancy is due in part to usable area, since it is necessary to roll down the top in order to seal the bag. But the internal diameter when it is in its tube shape is a good 15 inches, certainly much larger than 11 inches. Normally, it would be okay for a bag to be larger than advertised, but in my case, because I'm trying to fit it inside a backpack, this is an unpleasant surprise. You also have to factor in the air that will be inside the bag, which causes it to be partially, inflated as it's not easy to "burp" out all of air. I'm going to try the 10 Liter bag for my 13" laptop, and I'm guessing the 20 Liter bag would be well big enough for 17". The 30 Liter would fit a 17" laptop plus multiple pants and shirts with room to spare. Just don't plan on stuffing the 30 Liter bag inside any other bags.

about 32 ounces. I use a 1 liter bottle (like a pop bottle) but it is a little to big and the zipper won't zip. It works just fine though, because the neoprene hugs the bottle and keeps it in place without being zipped up

I second JarCie's reply. As for sealing items with fluids (e.g. fresh meat) I suggest having a bit longer bag then watching the flow of fluids. As they approach the sealing area, press "seal" to stop the suction and commence sealing. This ensures a good seal.

I bought a medium sized bag and while I can stuff a full 100oz bladder inside, it's tough to zip it closed.

I was able to fit 2 gallon jugs in mine and zip it. You can't have anything in the top compartment to fit them, and it is difficult to get the zipper to close all the way. It does close, it's just really tight.

I've not experienced any leaks in checked luggage under any conditions, from sea level to 40,000 ft. Of course you may wish to place in a large-enough plastic bag as insurance. Or, fill it at your destination.

Hi,Taken from their website (you'll have to convert!) http://www.bentgo.com/dp/B00B7N848ENote: Bentgo is NOT leak proof. It does seal very well, but to be safe when packing dressing, fruit, and other liquids, be sure to keep the Bentgo upright during transport.Top Container Size: 6.8" x 4.3" x 1.7" (2 sections with divider, each section 3.4" x 4.3" x 1.7")Bottom Container Size: 7" x 4.5" x 2.5"

A large would probably be your best fit. However, Go to a local dive shop and try on a couple. That will give you an idea of what you will need. It can be a crappy thing to do to a small business owner so I always try to buy something I need for my gear bag. Just for letting me try one on.

It will depend on how big the portions you seal end up being. You will loose 3" on each bag for seams, but you can make the bags 4 or 5" if you are sealing chickenbreasts for example. or 2" to seal up some left over tomato paste. Or 12" to seal up left over tray of lasagna. it is up to you.

I seal anything with some liquid that could get sucked up in another bag first. I either use a cheap zip-lock bag & push the air out of it, or a regular food storage bag and do the same push the air out and twist it, then put it in the Waring bags & seal it. This keeps the liquids from being vacuumed into the machine, or at least you can see it seeping out & can stop before they start seeping up to the vacuum. I usually get a pretty good seal before that happens. This makes cleaning your resealable bags easier.

I put mine - bag clipped with clothespin - into a gallon ziplock and into the freezer (thinking that will keep it fresher). I only have about 2 cups a day, so it lasts several months. I would think it would fit in a pint-sized glass jar. I'd make sure it had an air tight lid.

I've been bringing one this size to work for quite a few years so it's not too big for me. I carry it by the loop at the base of the lid but if you are carrying a container of liquid it better have a good, tight seal on it because the bag will not carry level unless you use the shoulder strap which has no padding.
