As i have said in the past ive used my many vaccum sealers for twenty plus years. I have never thrown a piece of meat or any vaccumed product away sence i have been using foodsaver this twenty plus years. I started using my foodsaver in ohio when stocking up on meat sales, then i started with big game and never look back at anything else. Shu
I found it very difficult to get this bag to seal/vacuum; not like the other 'FoodSaver' bags/rolls.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The idea of these bags are great, and I've received food from other stores that have been stored this way, and I love them. However, like others here, I, too, had difficulty with getting the air out of them.

These bags are thinner than the original bags. It is harder to get the machine to seal the bag.

I too find the amount of bag you have to waste is very wasteful and seems to counter act the savings you get from sealing/vacuuming food vs. the cost of the material to seal the food. I not real sold on this product because I have not seen or realized where the savings might come from. It saves food, which in turn saves the larger items from spoiling. But, the amount of bag you need to use makes it inconsequencial.
