These bags are easy to use and quite effective for maybe 10-20 vacuum cycles. They lose efficacy after that, and the plastic zipper ridges are somewhat delicate and can rip while opening if you're not particularly careful. Sometimes, the seal fails after weeks in the freezer, so we've learned to keep an eye on the freezer stock and to keep the pump handy. They extend the life of cheese particularly well, and keep freezer burn to a minimum as long as they keep the seal.
While I really appreciate the strength and versatility of these bags. I would prefer if they had a tab that made them easier to open. When they are sealed they work but when it’s time to open them it’s much too difficult and could destroy the bag.
love the simplicity of the Zwilling system and bags. Bags remaining vacuum sealed in the freezer to protect food is not acceptable. I have yet to package any food (not liquid) that has remained vac-packed after a week in the freezer. I'm open to suggestions
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us and thank you for the love of the simplicity of the Fresh & Save system. We're sorry to hear that the Vacuum Bags didn’t meet your expectations. This is certainly not the experience we want for our valued customers. We recommend the bags closure must be dry, then fold the bags closure over the outside of the bag, when placing the food inside the Bag. Zip the bag closed, check the seal by applying light pressure along the sealed edge with your fingers. Your satisfaction is our highest priority, and we stand behind the quality of our products. Rest assured, we’ll be reaching out to provide a positive solution.
It is a great idea, it simple and works fantastic. I love it. However when you want to do moist items you can't get full vacuum. Dry items are no problem, it is just perfect. I wish they come up with another idea to bag moist items.
