I have used the generic supplies quite successfully. You have to pay attention to what side is up, usually the smooth side

I've used this with both an older Foodsaver model (more manual working where you have to push down to seal) and a newer automatic one. Worked great on both with no issues, so I don't think you should have any problems using it with the gamesaver model.

I have a Food Saver and they are compatible with that. I cannot answer for other brands. The distributor should be able to help you.

Don't know if food saver accessories can be used in LEM but that isn't as important as the quality and ease of use of the LEM. I am so happy that I purchased it every time I use it. I gave my food saver away..

I cannot say because I do not know anything about the other product. I would suggest calling either one or both manufacturers and ask them if their product is also marketed under another name.

I use mine in Food Saver model V2244. It's also called a Bag Sealer on the bottom of the machine where the serial # and other info is. This is a manual machine, where you put product in the bag, because 3 sides are already sealed, then lay the unsealed top edge into the trough (this trough collects any water/juice from product). Close machine and select your choice of just plain seal, or vacuum and seal. These generic bags work every bit as well for me, as the more expensive bags from the Food Saver brand. Many of the bags I've seen in grocery stores indicate they can be used for Food Saver brand as well as Seal-A-Meal brand. This is just my personal experience, hope it helps.

This works great with my food saver for sealing jars. I do not have a hand held so I can't comment. I do know that most Food Saver brand use the same parts.

No. The FreshSaver Handheld is designed for use with FoodSaver Vacuum Zipper Bags and FoodSaver Containers. It is not compatible with FoodSaver Canisters.

In our Foodsaver model they work great. Don't what model it is but we have only had it a few months.

This is my second Foodsaver, an upgrade from my first one bought via infomercial. It's fabulous. I've used the first one to seal other types of bags, but I have not tried it with the new one. However, I can tell you that you can seal without using the vacuum function first. So it will probably work just fine.

You certainly can. I have a Seal-a-Meal myself - no problems. I think they're just as good and durable as the brand names . . . unless you're one of those people who prefer to pay the big bucks for mfg. brands.

If by generic you mean regular zip-lock or plastic bags, I have tried and found it difficult. You can put food in them and seal them in the reusable bags that come with this to save on cleaning them, but sealing regular bags is difficult. As for sealing liquid, same thing, put in zip-lock bags and then seal in the re-usable ones that come with it. The bags that come with it are extremely sturdy and very easy to seal repeatedly with the sealer.

sorry i don't know. we have a food saver. it does seem like a pretty basic part so perhaps it maybe interchangeable.

I have used the Foodsaver bags without any problems. I prefer the VacMaster or Cabelas bags better.

I think you would have to buy the Foodsaver tube attachment & still am not sure it would work. This is a great sealer, but works best with the bags that it is made seal since it has the "port" to seal it.

I would think so.. I tried sealing food in an old potato chip bag using a hot knife to seal.. IT WORKS! so i'd think it should work with FoodSaver. Potato Chip Bag material is very superior and keeps vacuum for a long time.

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.
