   Concerned Consumer – June 5, 2020

   The good:1. The product works. No doubt about it. So that gets us out of the starting blocks. It makes bags that can vacuum and seal food, which is what it claims to do, and I won’t deny it one bit.2. It’s basically made like the original “F**d S*ver” (let’s just call it “FS” for the remainder of my review) make-a-bag rolls; one side is clear and the other a textured, grid-like pattern molded into the material.The “not so good:”Here’s where the shortcuts are that drop the price. So each purchaser needs to ask him/herself if the benefits of FS bag rolls, the “perks” and refinements that those have built in are worth the extra price of the “real McCoy” or not. Just want to give information to help with that decision.1. Material is definitely thinner than the original FS bags. Now having said that, am I going to be “stressing” the material, such that this is a major difference? I probably won’t, but if you’re sealing things that have “pointy parts” they could poke through. Homemade dehydrated foods come to mind; they can actually get some sharp parts. Just be aware of this.2. Unlike the original FS bags, there are no “hash marks” on the sides of the roll. Those are handy when making your bag for your food. With these you either have to “guess” the size or take it out of the machine (more on THAT in a moment!) and manually measure and cut (optimally straight, which being able to cut INSIDE the machine, using its cutter, helps you do).3. FS bag material has a very convenient strip on the side for “Contents” and “Date” (a white, printed-on material that accepts and holds Sharpie writing quite well). You won’t find that at all on this product. You have to either write it onto the plastic itself (which tends to rub off) or use separate freezer tape.4. OK, now the “big” (and I actually mean big in this situation) issue. You are definitely buying IN BULK. While you sure do get a lot of bag material, the roll is BIG. TOO big to fit into a FS model FM3941 vacuum sealer (got it at Costco, as I’d bet a lot of other folks did). Yes, it will fit the 11″ width, but the roll itself is too big/thick for the top of the machine to close (which, of course, it has to if it’s going to vacuum and seal your bag and food!).5. So, at the end of the day, I had to measure the size of bag that I wanted with a ruler, mark the line across the material with a pen, manually cut off the bags with scissors (it does cut easily, as a consolation prize), go back to the machine, manually (“free hand”) seal one end, fill it and then vacuum/seal the food. Finally, I stuck a piece of freezer tape onto each bag and labeled them on the tape.Some may say “quit ‘cher ‘bitc*in.” The bags work, right? YES. I admitted that right up front. That makes it an “okay” product. But some of the missing refinements in the original keep it from being a “great” product, and I wanted to point those out. This product, while certainly serviceable, has a number of shortcomings. It’s not “plug and play.” There are several manual work-arounds that you have to do with it, and I wanted others to be aware of those. Some may say that these drawbacks aren’t worth the savings over the original product, so I wanted to share these observations to help others make that judgment for themselves. Others may say that the substantial cost savings are worth it. I leave that to each purchaser to figure what’s best for him/her, only hoping that I’m giving you information to help with that decision. While it was a great price, so a “value” product, I probably won’t purchase again, because the ability to slip a smaller roll into the machine (and close the top, allowing it to actually WORK), be able to measure my bags “on the fly” within the machine, seal the bottom of the bag while the roll is in the machine, CUT the bag off while it’s in the machine and not have to take another step to put tape onto the bag to label the thing well, those little improvements and “perks” are worth something to me. Oh, and I suppose that I could make smaller rolls out of the big one. Yep, sure could and to use these up I probably am going to do that. But that’s just ANOTHER step to add to the process that to me just really isn’t worth it. Hope this helps.6/12/21 Addendum – added a couple of pictures of the way I found to mitigate the issue of the roll simply being so large (point #4 in my original review). If you lay the roll down behind the machine on the counter (and I found that it’s easier to use if you have the loose end of the roll UNDER the roll (see 2nd picture) rather than OVER it) you can thread, so to speak, the bag material into the hinge slot between the top of the machine (if you have one like mine) and the body of the machine. This way you can use not only the sealing bar but the cutter, as well. Basically as if you had it in the normal groove. It’s not perfect, but does make it easier to use until you’ve used enough of it to fit under the lid in the normal place. Allows a straight cut of the material using the built-in cutter, rather than having to mark the material and cut with scissors. Hope that helps. This definitely costs less than the original bag material, and with use, I haven’t found any problems at all with durability in the freezer or loss of vacuum.

   This product is very agreeable and works well with our Food Saver vac system. The material is thick and durable, unlike some cost-conscious brands. The channels work well, and the pump doesn’t struggle to get the vacuum down to a sealable pressure.The only real gripe is the length of the bag material on each roll makes it too big for the lid to close so we just rolled some onto an empty Food Saver bag roll and put it in the cabinet while we used up the first half on its original cardboard tube. Works like a champ.10/10 will buy again!! But keep an old tube handy for the partial roll off for the next buy.

   I vacuum seal alot of food and these are good bags. No rips ever occurred in the 2 years I’ve been using them. Definitely will keep buying them.

   I’ve used these since I bought my machine. Less expensive but easier to use. I will continue to use these as long as they are still available.

   I have a food saver sealer (can’t recall exact size or model, but standard sized for food saver brand) and these bags are slightly too wide for the vacuum groove – maybe 1/4 inch too wide. If I remove the drip tray they fit fine, but the moisture makes a mess. Leaving the drip tray in place I am able to use these bags still, but the extra width causes them to bow up, which then makes it difficult get keep them tucked into the vacuum groove and simultaneously to lay flat while I close the lid. I have not had any of bags fail to seal so it is mostly just a slight nuisance.

   The bags are good quality for what you pay compared to leading vac-seal bags. I went with the 8”x50’ & 11”x50’ so I’d have some of each and they deal up very well! If you’re just looking to prevent freezer burn on your foods and make them last a couple months longer, these bags should do the trick but for long term storage id recommend something thicker!

   I’m on my second order of these rolls. They work just as well as food saver (also made in China) for significantly less. I use them for pre-portioning chicken and steaks to freeze for easy weeknight meals.Vacuum sealing is addicting and these rolls keep the cost down.
