I recieved the FoodSaver Vaccuum Seal system as a gift along with two 11" continous roll bags. They worked great but were kind of big for some of the food that I was trying to vacuum and seal so I bought the premade package of 48 quart size bags. I have had nothing but issues with those bags since I got them. They will not vacuum and seal correctly. When I make my own bag with the continious roll material the vacuum and seal works great but not with the quart bags. Even when I have tried both types on the same night, the continious self made bag works the quart bag does not. The vacuum system works well but the quart bags do not. They look and feel like they are made from the same material. The only difference is that the quart bags are about half the width of the 11" bags and they don't stretch across the whole vacuum seal area like the 11" bags do but the manufacturer does mark-off where the optimum vacuum seal area is so you can make sure your bag covers that area and the quart bag does stretch across that area but still will not vacuum and seal. I am just going to buy the 11" roll and make my own bags.

I couldn't just throw the bags aways so I kept looking for a way to make these work and finally found it. If you take the bag out and crumble it up into a ball, basically wrinkling it up, than it works like a champ in the foodsaver. Once I discovered this I have tried it about 15 times and each time it has worked great.

I've been using the FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer for years. They've actually re-designed their product, bags included and it works even better. I prefer the pre-made bags and this order completed my inventory . . . always like to have a box or two on hand. I shop at Costco and the only bags they have are the ones in a roll that you have to seal both ends yourself. So I did a google search online and found these, bought 'em and it's great.

It's excellent if you already have a good foodsaver. They are thick and good quality bags. It works really well and does keep food fresh. Only good for small and dry foods though, but they are reuseble to a certain point.

I've been using the FoodSaver for two years now. I use it quite a bit for packing meat, separating larger quantities of food into smaller packs, and keeping nuts fresh, among many other things.

When I first got it, I used the included roll to make my own bags, but the hassle of that wore thin very quickly. I bought my first box of the quart size bags and never looked back.

The quart size is the only size I ever buy -- it is perfect for almost everything. Not too small, not too big, just like that story with the bears and the porridge.

I still haven't used up that original roll. I doubt I ever will given how well these bags are working for me.

I was skeptical at first because I thought the bags might be too small. I bought them anyway and I'm really glad I did! I saved money, the bags are perfect for meat portions for a family of three or four, and they have many other uses as well. The bags are a big time saver over the continuous rolls and well worth the money. They also make it very easy to repackage frozen vegies, which then keep much longer in the freezer.

I have no problems with the Foodsaver rolls ... those seem to work flawlessly. These pre-made bags, however, have been next to worthless. Perhaps I just received a bad batch but only about one out of every 5 bag will even begin to evacuate much less hold a seal. Those that do evacuate typical lose their seals after a while. I'm sticking with the rolls from now on.

One positive is that I can use the box these came in to store bags I've made from the rolls for later reuse. Other than that, these bags have been frustrating in the extreme!

I'm a solid fan of the FoodSaver, and these bags are just the right size for my needs -- a serving for two. I also use the rolls, but frankly, the bags are a lot quicker if you don't mind the added cost. I have had no problem with the bags breaking or not sealing.

I purchased a compact Tilia unit on clearance at a de[artment store...a steal at the price since I paid almost $200 for my first unit. I had it for years, but I finally wore it out. I have searched the web for prices on the bags and Amazon had the best price..with the free shipping it is a non brainer. I have had two other brands of sealers and they were terrible. Nowhere near the suction power of the tilia. These bags are great..they seal well, and last for a long time. If you are not storing raw meat in them...you can wash them out and use them again and again. I particulary like it for cheese. You take what you need and then reseal the bag. Thumbs up for this product!

There has never been a failure with this product. It products for quite awhile and I feel very safe using the food from them.

When you work all week, I cook on the weekends and with the foodsaver bags I can put platters in the freezer and defrost
in the microwave and have a home cooked meal instead of a
frozen dinner. It's Great
