Side by Side Comparison of: Ziploc vs FoodSaver

I'm pretty much in love with these. Our home has zero storage space so these have become sooooo useful! Our new sofa came with pillows I didn't like but my husband wanted to keep...in the vacuum bag. My maternity clothes...in the vacuum bag. Baby clothes...in the vacuum bag. It's flat enough to slide under the bed so when we have our next child we can just pop them open and tah-da!!! I'm not sure how the cube is a cube but we could still fit 4 throw pillows in it

When it comes to saving some space inside an apartment, especially when you live in a big city and you do not have enough of it, Ziploc is the solution to it.This review is for the Ziploc Space Bag 15 Bag Space Saver Set where you have 1 Jumbo 35"x48", 3 Extra-Large 26.5"x39.5", 4 Large 21.5"x33.5" and 4 Medium 18"x22.5". Also, you have 2 Suitcase Travel Roll-Up Bag 18"x22.5" and 1 Carry-on Roll-Up Bags 13.5"x19.5" useful for traveling purposes.This set helps me I'd say saving 2/3 of space. Even after few months of use I haven't found any bag leak. I would totally recommend this set to anyone in need of extra space or to someone who needs to move frequently from one place to another.

I'm a general contractor, and yet, between blankets and quilts and comforters and flannel shirts and such like, I've got a lot of fluffy stuff around the house - stuff that needs to be stored when not in use. If space were no issue, no problem. But space *is* an issue - pretty much the primary issue. So, enter the Space Saver Set. And my 105-inch-water-lift commercial shop vac. My vac rocks, let it be known. It's very, very powerful. And in combination with these bags, I've found that I can reduce the volume of space occupied by fluffy things up to 80%. Down-based items shrink the most; denser fabric items not so much. Even my heavy-duty commercial-grade movers blankets shrink down substantially. That said, these are not commercial-grade bags - they are thin enough to conform to their new shrunken shape, but they are also thin enough that they can be torn by the plastic slider(!). Also, doing the math, these things are quite expensive. But, damn, it's fun to watch stuff suck down to just a fraction of its normal size! Instant gratification for sure!**UPDATE**: It's been about a week since I sealed everything up, and it all looks good. I'm guessing that those folks with leakage issues probably didn't manage to seal the bag properly to begin with or managed to tear the bag slightly while handling - both are fairly easy to do.

Saved a fortune compared with what U-Haul was charging! (We used these to move in September) The few we haven't unpacked are still holding shape a couple of months later, not sure how they'd work for long term but they saved us sooooooooo much space in the moving truck it was completely worth it.They also seal up well so that while lots of things ended up dusty and gross coming out of the truck everything we "space bagged" was clean. We even fit a 1.5" thick queen sized memory foam in the biggest one and the back cushions from the sofa. We may have had a little too much fun packing after these arrived. Hubby and I must have no life, we were fighting over who got to suck the air out of the next bag and dashing around trying to figure out what else we could repack in these things. *cough* loser *cough*Downsides: They wrinkle things up pretty bad. Don't put anything that can't be washed or ironed just in case, our bed pillows didn't 100% puff back up (but they were those crappy cheapest-in-the-already-discount-store kind of pillows) But all of our nicer pillows and sofa pillows bounced back. Give 'em some time. **IMPORTANT** You definitely have to go over the seals again once you zip them, it's not hard, they're basically giant heavy duty Ziplocs. And make sure your vacuum hose is lined up properly before you start suction and turn it off before pulling away. I ripped part of one like that, even though it still worked fine I have a feeling it won't last as long as the others.

I confess, I am a shopaholic, and as such I have many bedding sets, pillows, winter clothes, and kids toys that must be stored away till time to be used again. I love this set! You get 15 bags and they are not all of the tiny crappy ones that you really can't even fit stuff into either. You get Jumbo, XXL, XL, Large, Medium and a few travel bag and roll up bags, but even if they left everything under the Med. size out, it would still be a better deal at this price than the 12 pack that Amazon also sells, because you get larger bags. My daugther went through a Build-A-(animal) phase and we had tons of those critters, and at $20-$40 each you don't want to just throw them out, so we decided to make sure they were clean for her baby sister we would space bag them. They now take of a fraction of the space and are sealed, water and bug proof. I am ordering a second box of these today to store away winter clothes instead of buying those big bulky totes.

I had a bunch of bags in my closet filled with clothes for whichever season I wasn't in. Then I bought these and now my clothes are neatly stacked in the top part of my closet. These make me feel so super organized.Great for travel! I just took a trip on USAir and they charge you either $25 or $35 for the first checked bag so I decided that I was going to only go with two carry-ons to avoid the extra fee. I used a medium size zip-loc bag, put it in the carry-on suitcase, then filled it with the bulkier items like fleece pants, hoodie and sweater, etc. and sucked out all the air. The end result was that my bulky items took up way less space and fit in the suitcase quite well. I just had to make sure that the person I was going to visit had a vacuum with a hose so I could vacuum seal the bag for the return flight.

Sory I ran out when I did - this keeps our food fresher whether frozen or not and I find th idea of getting another brand chancy. These do an excellent job and I won't buy an off brand to save a few cents when these save me big dollars on the foods, mostly meats, that I buy i bulk and cut up myself whether to freeze or store in the fridge for a few days.

Since my boyfriend goes deep sea fishing and brings home LOTS of fish, this has come in soooo handy, I can't even tell you! It's easy to use, making the whole process of preparing the fish for the freezer quicker. Before we got this, we'd just bag the fish in freezer bags, throw them in the freezer, and then they would get freezer-burn. No good within 2 months. Now with the vacuum-packing, no freezer burn and the fish are still fantastic after 6 months. An excellent investment!

I have a 20cf freezer full of vac-packed bounty from my small farm, fishing, huntingthese are great bags ***Remember to mark bags with date & contents for best taste ***cut to needed lengthseal, fill vac-pack, freeze

I love my FoodSaver and these rolls of 11" storage 'bags' which I have purchased several times. However this last order came in a plain cardboard style carton--no FoodSaver packaging--which made me nervous about using them. I feel as though these rolls were taken out of other regular packaging and repacked into a plain brown cardboard box for some reason. That has never happened before, so maybe my next order will look more legitimate. If not, I'll probably go direct to the FoodSaver site to order from now on. With that said, the bags seem to be perfectly normal.

I've been using these for years. Can't describe how amazed I was when I started using FoodSaver. It literally saves food. I get several additional days from any food and use these bags for anything I can (even for making bags to hold screws, etc.). I'd never try the off brands because this works perfectly with my Food Saver and has saved me hundreds in wasted food costs. So glad these exist!

Nice thick heave bag material. Some other bags-on-a-roll have a textured strip down the middle which does not provide enough area for the sealing machine to pull a strong vacuum. Other similar products tend to be thinner which can lead to punctures and a loss of seal. No so with these.

i use these to store the clothes that my daughter has outgrown and they are fantastic. her closet is so organized and neat and has so much space now. yay.my only issue with this pack of bags is that it includes four "travel" bags that don't have the vacuum seal apparatus! you're just supposed to squeeze / roll the air out of them. so in my opinion, you're really only getting 8 space saver bags, and 4 that are just regular (albeit big) ziploc bags. i didn't read the fine print closely enough, i suppose, but the back of the box doesn't make that super obvious in my opinion.

Our closets were being taken over by our coats (we live in Arizona so we don't need coats for very long!) so I decided to get this for winter storage. They were okay, but as other reviewers said, the seals didn't hold. The first day I got them, I filled most of the bags up and put them in our closet, with some going on shelves up top. It wasn't until about 2 am that I realized putting them on a shelf was a HORRIBLE idea - the seals didn't hold and allowed air to come back into a bag or two, causing their weight to shift on the shelf and then tumbling down into the closet door. My husband and I jumped out of bed trying to figure out what exactly that loud crash was. I only discovered it was these bags after we searched the entire house and I was on my way to the bathroom (I definitely needed to go after that wake-up call!). I have since discovered that the bags do alright if you don't suck ALL the air out - leaving a little room seemed to help. And definitely do not store them on a shelf if there is any remote chance they might fall :)

Many years ago when the vacuum space storage bags first started to become popular I bought several of the bags to store such items as comforters, blankets and pillows. After several weeks I noticed that the seal had failed and the bags had inflated. Based on the Ziploc name I decided to try their brand of vacuum space bags. My immediate intention is to use several of the bags for clothing during an upcoming trip. Over the past few days I have been testing the bags to see how well they maintain their seal and the results are very positive.Besides looking at the space bags I noticed that Amazon also sold several hand type vacuum pumps. Since I already had one of the Ziploc pumps that I use with their vacuum food storage bags I decided to give the pump a try. If you decided to use a hand pump my recommendation would be to use the rolling method as depicted on the box first before using the pump, otherwise you will be pumping forever. I should mention that the vacuum port on the space bags are made of hard plastic. When using the pump the end on the pump that fits over the bag port is also made of hard plastic. With the two hard surfaces you most likely will not get a good seal. To resole this issue I decided to try placing a rubber O-ring between the two hard surfaces. Using the O-ring seems to resolve the seal problem. It just so happens that Amazon sells an O-ring that you can use. Here is the Amazon website address for the O-rings, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L1IVOUK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . The Unit of Issue (UI) is box which contains 10 O-rings (Unit of Measure - UM).When Ziploc firs started to market their vacuum food storage bags I bought one of the starter kits. The hand vacuum pump that came with the kit can also be used with the space storage bags. Since I will be using the space storage bags while travelling the Ziploc pump is small enough to fit nicely in one of my suitcases.Alternatives to using the hand pump would be a vacuum cleaner or shop vacuum. If travelling, it would be feasible for you to take either one of these with you. As for using an electric air pump I found a small one on Amazon that is small enough (4.25 inches x 4.5 inches x 4.25 inches) that it will fit in one of my suitcases. Here is the Amazon website address for the pump: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003LIKRKQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 .As with the hand pumps I recommend using an O-ring to get a better seal.The reason for only giving the space bags only four stars is due to the hard plastic port. If product designers at Ziploc read this I would suggest you redesign the vacuum port which includes some type of a rubber O-ring or gasket which will provide a better seal.

These are great! For the record, I give 4.5 stars! First things first, this specific pack is the best value that I have found in vacuum seal, space saving bags. I have seen other "value packs" selling 2-4 bags for the same price or more. This pack has 15 bags of varying sizes. Frankly, it's probably more than you'll need, but I was happy to stow the extras away for future use! As for the actual product, the bags are great! Disclaimer: I have not tried to use the enclosed roll-up suitcase bags, only the vacuum seal ones. That said, I had a great experience using them. I had never tried them before purchasing this pack, and I recommend them gladly. They don't pack up quite as neatly or flatly as you've probably seen in pictures or commercials (shocking, I know), but they do reduce to a solid 1/3 smaller or more of the original size. The edges squish in a bit, but not much, so make sure that your stowaway space is about as big as the unsealed bag or else they won't fit. They have absolutely NO FLEXIBILITY once vacuum sealed, so you cannot bend or otherwise manipulate them, only lie them flat (or sideways if thick enough to stand). Thr bags are VERY easy to use and you need nothing more than a vacuum. They have special valve that keeps air from sneaking in while you're pulling it out. For capacity, they are a pretty solid bet. I packed two California King size comforters, a Cali king blanket, a pillow, and four throw pillows into one Jumbo bag and it fit into my window seat chest. I fit a 25" high stack of other linens into a Medium bag, and it shrank to about 4.5" high after suction. CONS: *The white zipper piece tends to pop off easily when trying to seal the bag, but can be popped back on just as easily if you take a second to do it. I recommend pinching the edges ahead (as you would with any zipper) to reduce the chances of this happening.*The bags are kind of thin, so they puncture relatively easily. Do NOT store the bags anywhere rough, such as in a wooden box (unless it is thoroughly sanded and finished), or else they obtain tiny pinholes and begin to re-inflate.

I initially purchased these to use in storing extra bedding in a back room, and was shocked at how much space they reclaimed after all the air was removed. It's like magic. Sadly, the vacuum seal isn't quite like magic, and not all of the bags held that seal over time.In the span of four months, three of five bags lost their seal and re-inflated. They may not have taken up quite as much space as they had originally, but they certainly didn't maintain the incredibly miniaturized, vacuum-shrunk size they had been. Two of the five bags did maintain their seals.However, these are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for short term usage - they easily hold their seals for a couple weeks, making them perfect for a move. Using these, you can fit all of your clothes into a box or two, and your sheets and comforters into just one more box. It's amazing how much space you save in the moving truck. By the time the bags start to lose their seal, you're already at your new place.Basically - there are good uses for these, but if you want to use them for long term storage, you may want to be prepared to check the seal every couple months.

These are great. I used mine to clean out my clothes closet. There was one bag that had a leak, so I'm not giving the product five stars, but, other than that, they worked very well. The medium bags will fit into an under-bed container, and the large fit on top of the containers, under the bed. Remember that a bag with 12 pairs of jeans in it still weighs the same as 12 pairs of jeans, even if it looks much smaller (and it does!) I guess another problem I had is what to do with great big "pancakes" of clothes once i got the bags filled and the air sucked out, but that's a much better problem to have than a small closet that's crammed with winter clothes and won't hold anything more. I'll lean them against a wall in the garage or something.

Work well. Didn't come packed in the Food Saver box like the last ones I ordered so I can't say they are genuine but they do the job.

Reliable bags. These bags also give you flexibility as to size of bag needed.

If you freeze medium to jumbo size shrimp with their shells still on, wrap the lot in a sheet of plastic wrap, or stick them in a baggie, before you vacuum seal them to keep their sharp spines and other pointy parts of the shell, from piercing the FoodSaver bag. The same wrapping technique applies for beef, pork or lamb with an exposed bone. So far I haven't had bag leakage with fish bones.

I have no complaints about these bags except one, I wish they were cheaper.

Item as described, works as expected

More work than the bags, but you get the size you need.

These bags were used for a cross country move and they were okay. Initially these bags worked great, they really did took a huge pile of stuff and made it smaller and more manageable. However, several of the bags lost their seal. The ones that stayed sealed did a great job, but just be aware that not all of the bags may stay sealed for very long.

Seeing the Ziploc brand name, I expected more of these. I have so far only had the chance to use the large cube ones, as I have the as seen on TV brand ones of the smaller sizes that I got a while back. The large cube one does not hold air nearly as well as the as seen on TV ones have. I may change my review later after I get the chance to try the other sizes and the travel bags, but so far, things are not looking up for Ziploc's space bags.

I chose this product over the Space Saver brand because I liked that this variety pack came with more variety (the space saver ones I saw only came with a couple different sizes.) At first I didn’t think I’d be able to use all of the bags but quickly realized they were all very practical. Easy to pack, easy to seal, and they seemed very sturdy. With that said, at least half of them keep inflating/won’t remain airtight. I haven’t had the opportunity to use the travel bags but I’m hoping they will hold up on an upcoming trip. I don’t think I’ll return because there are some that are serving their purpose well but I’m not confident they’ll hold up for long. I’m not sure that these were worth the money when the Space Saver brand has better reviews. . It’s a bit disappointing that the product only has about a 50% success rate right out of the box.

Purchased these for use during a move. From the beginning, the bags have not held their seals. I have to re-vacuum the bags to keep saving space. Didn't have time to bother with returning for new (working) ones before my move, so have been dealing with them. Wouldn't buy again & currently only use the extra large and a large one for storing moving blankets... again, have to re-vacuum seal them regularly to keep the bags thin.

I have used these bags on multiple occasions and they are generally very effective for short term use such as mailing or moving. I have found that using them for long-term storage can be hit or miss.Sometimes there will be a "dud" bag that just has a slow leak right from the start. Sometimes the bags work great and will sit in storage for weeks without incident and then one day you go in the attic and one apparently filled with air. Sometimes they will sit in storage for years and remain "flat" the entire time.They don't shrink up to the uniform, flat packages that the box portrays, but usually if packed well you can get it pretty close. Some lumps are inevitable.I have never really had any luck with the roll up bags and I find them pretty useless.Overall these bags are just ok. If they were consistent (all the bags worked the same), they would be awesome. But there's so much inconsistency that I can't possibly give them 5 stars. I still use them whenever I need to move a bunch of clothing/blankets, but I do wish they were more reliable for long-term storage.

I just received the bags, they are exactly what I was looking for, have used other brands in the past and was not happy with the quality. So far I have used two of the large bags, they sealed and for three days are still sealed. I used one of the medium bags, it sealed, within a few hours it lost it's seal. I went way beyond the recommended instructions on using the slider. I slid the slider about five times, than I took my fingers and ran it from left to right a few times to make sure there were no leaks, yet it did leak. I am going to try it again today and see if there is a way to get it to seal. I hope this is not going to be a hit and miss thing with the bags. They serve no purpose if they can not hold a seal. Over all the quality of the bags seems fine.

These are kindof a pain to use. Didn't realize these weren't the "bag" type of foodsaver bags. Unlikely I would buy again.

Very suspect that this item comes in a plain box that says nothing about "food saver" on the packaging. I also checked the patterns on the plastic bags themselves and they are different from what originally came with my Food Saver— that I know for a fact is Food Saver's product. I am thinking this is a China knock-off brand, but can't prove it. And I don't know how it will hold up against my real Food Saver plastic. Amazon needs to stop letting just anyone sell on their sight.

Don't always seal properly

Expensive but they are what they are

This looked ok but I sent back my sealer and have no use for this now. Will give it away.

I have had my FoodSaver for a couple years now. I really like how easy it is to use. However, the replacement bags are now a different, thinner material than the original ones that came with the actual FoodSaver. It seems that roughly 10-15% of items that I vacuum seal will lose their seal after a period of time, less than 1 year. I freeze produce from my garden, and will also freeze things like chicken if I happen to buy a big package and don't use it all right away. I am very careful to follow the FoodSaver instructions exactly, so I'm disappointed that I experience seal failure this frequently. At some point, I will look for a different vacuum sealing system.

About ½ of the bags in the pack actually worked and didn't reinflate within a few hours. The ones that worked were great!! But it was very frustrating to have many of them not work. I definitely felt jipped

I purchased these because we were getting ready to move and I wanted to be able to put blankets, clothes, pillows, etc. in them to take up less space in the U-haul and was also hoping to be able to use them to store extra blankets and pillows once we had moved. To start with, the smaller rollup bags, I thought, were almost worthless. I ended up just using them as large ziplock bags for bathroom bottles and things that might spill...(They might be good for travel, i.e., a vacation, IF the seals would hold). Even the large and medium bags didn't seem quite large enough. Once you fill them full up the 'fill line", you then have to 'zip' them closed... this was much harder than it sounds. There's a little tab (similar to that on a real ziploc bag) that you are supposed to use, but you have to push/pinch it VERY hard and it's hit or miss as to whether it really gets the bag closed and sometimes the little tab would just snap off. Once I did get them closed, I started to vacuum the air out... this was pretty impressive (as far as shrinking down the volume) on the poofy pillows and comforters, but on the clothes that I had folded and stacked neatly inside the bags, it really didn't reduce the size that much. Unfortunately, a day later, over half the bags had re-inflated. By the time the move was over, I think only one or two bags' seals had held. Pretty disappointing:(

SOLID PIECE OF HOT GARBAGE!!!!! these bags are terrible. This is the greatest idea ever and all they do is serve you a sandwich bag the size of a bathtub. The plastic is thin. It rips constantly. ANNND THE ABSOLUTE WORST PART OF ALL OF IT, the reason the bags rip is because the stupid little plastic "zipper helper" or whatever the hell it is. It does nothing but cut the zipper part off the actual bag themselves.I only gave this two stars because a few of the bags work decently. But it's because they don't require a piece of plastic to seal them.Do not order these.Idk if some other company makes them but if they do spend the extra money and buy theirs cause it's a good idea but terrible execution.

These Ziploc Space Bags are so wonderful for the first few days....and then they somehow, magically find a small pin hole or air somehow finds its way in the bag and everything inside the bag is back to like it was, only it is protected inside a Big Plastic Bag! It's a great theory, and I fall for it every time. I don't know why I thought it would work this time....maybe because they changed the name to, "Ziploc" and I trusted that name.....and it gave it some credibility....now, like all of the other "space bags" all the credibility is long gone and I have learned another expensive and time consuming lesson. Not a good buy and certainly not any good at saving any sort of space! If you are looking for large bags to keep the dust off your blankets and pillows and winter sweaters....than these might be the bags for you....just don't expect them to shrink up for you and stay that way.

My sister used these to move from Illinois to Washington and they worked great! I thought I would do the same moving from Illinois to Texas. These bags were JUNK. I had several that split right in half while taking them out of the moving van and all my contents fell all over the road. It was almost like the plastic was old and brittle or something. They also didn't hold air in them for longer than a week.

I bought these after watching a lot of regular people review and demonstrate these bags on YouTube and for them, it appeared to work well. Being a bigger person, it's a lot harder to pack 3X-5X clothes efficiently and I was hoping to save at least a little space, enough to not necessitate the use of a second backpack. But for the space it might save, it also wastes. I'd say there's only about 5% compression over all and it took me several tries to get everything back in my bag with the use of the space bags. As it turns out, anything bigger than the medium is too huge to use for traveling. The roll up bags are completely worthless and the zipper pops off every time and the roll up bags never seal either. I'm only using two of the medium bags at the moment in my main backpack right now, and as I said, it took several tries to get everything arranged correctly. And in the end, I saved absolutely no space overall and still need a second backpack for personal items. The biggest problem with using the space bags isn't that they don't work, but simply that during the process of vacuuming out the air, you end up with a lumpy, misshapen mess that is useless for packing. Also, my vacuum hose doesn't fit on the suction valve and after trying several times to arrange the clothes better before sucking the air out, it seems to wear out the valve and the blue thing inside will pop out. Maybe these work for people who have a house and can keep things in storage bins for all eternity, but these bags are no help at all for the traveler. I wish I could get my money back, but since the bags are so huge and slippery, no single person could ever repack them in the box to be returned.

Received wrong item. Got precut bags, not the roll as advertised

Don't work as well as some generics.

Unfortunately the rolls arrived with permanent deep wrinkles in the plastic.The plastic doesn't lay smoothly over the meat I am packaging.I had to start using the rolls, but I don't know if the wrinkles will prevent a good vacuum seal.I consider it this a product defect.

Great deal on the purchase but this bag has pleats in the sides so it is wasteful once you start to seal it. Awkward bag design.

I could only use about 1/4 of one roll because it had damage that kept the bags from sealing. The second roll was better but every 4th bag or so had issues. I havent' opened the third roll yet but am in hopes that it's better.

they are good for leftovers but are too short and too costly for bulk repacks when i can find 50 foot rolls that i can set behind the machine for a lot less per foot.

Bought these 2 months ago. Used them as directed....did not fill them above the line indicated on the packaging....suctioned out air with vacuum replaced nozzle and stored. I checked on the vacuum sealed bags a few weeks later only to find that more than half of them have lost the vacuum seal. This product does not produce the wanted effect as it proposes on the package. I was very excited about this product at first and wanted to "jokingly" space bag everything! Now not so much since it doesn't actually do what it claims. So sad.

These are NOT the original Space Bags, but appear to be some cheap knock-off or counterfeit item. The bags are thin, the seals are not holding and air is filling the bag, in under two hours.The original Space Bags, were a heavy plastic, with superb seals. I have some of the originals, for over 10 years and they are still usable. These are absolute garbage and have purchased better, directly from China, for less than half the cost.

bags arived today and could not wait to try them out right away, was surprised how much space I safed! But that excitment went over to disapointment when I heard the air escaping. One of the bags even riped and NO I did not overfill them, only filled the bags to the line. I think clear garbage bags would had done a better job. Not going to buy this product again, very disapointed

Tried these after reading reviews thinking I am the type of person who follows directions to a "t" and they would work fine for me. I'm extremely practical, and these make a lot of sense. When they work, they work well. Unfortunately, in my experience, most don't work for any length of time, and those that are opened and re-used don't work at all. It's an expensive, one-time-use storage solution that doesn't make sense to me. Wish I hadn't purchased them...

Got a bunch of these bags to package my wife's clothing and extra bedding after she died. But they are made more cheaply than the bags at the builder store. The will puncture if you are not careful and two of them arrived with punctures in the bags, or were punctured by me in the first usage with soft clothing. The value is okay, but not well designed and is cheaper than one would want. At the end of the day, after purchasing several boxes. I am going back to the home builder store and paying a bit more for a better longer lasting product. If you are in to cheap, less expensive, that works okay, but not well, then these should do fine for you. But be careful, handle them with care.

I bought this larger set of zip-lock space bags from Amazon because I thought the quality would be better than other space bags, which I never had luck with. I was sorely disappointed. Some worked, more didn't-very few actually held and kept from leaking out. I have sucked the air out several times and followed the directions, but no luck. I will never assume that zip-lock is a better quality of anything. If I could get my money refunded, I would be a happy customer.

I don't believe these are really the name brand Food Saver bags. They seem to be lighter weight, the dimples are a different design, they came in a plain brown box, they had a paper obviously off a cheap printer saying they were really Food Saver bags, The tape on the bags was a different color than all my 10 year's of using Food Saver bags have used, and they were very loosely wrapped and taped. The also had some sort of garbage about how they may look different because Jarden was often testing new designs. I would not recommend buying bags here!

I have bought these before and they worked fine. This time not so good. The 1st rolled worked as it was too, the second roll was all winked which cause only every 3rd bag to seal...the whole roll is like that..wasted six bags in a row just to seal up to two 1/4lb breakfast sausages patties. I will be looking to find a better replacement next time I order...

Like many customers recently, I ordered rolls and got bags. The product is too small for my needs.

Product would not seal. Tried and tried but no go.

Do not stay sealed

Well now I know where FoodSaver® gets rid of their reject rolls, and how about this, they weren't even discounted. If you do much vacuum sealing you've gotten a roll now and again where at the end of the roll was a little off kilter and ended up with some pressed in wrinkles. These rolls are that way start to finish.
