When I purchased these the little plastic pieces were loose in the bag when I tried to put them back in they would not stay. Any suggestions?

Same here. I store them in a separate little bag and tape them on to the boot stretchers as needed.

I don't remember any loose plastic pieces, however if you place it in the boot and turn the handle it should split open and become tight. You do have to leave it for a few days for it to stretch.

I think your supposed to put them in the holes -- the purpose is to stretch for corns and bunions.

Haven't had any trouble with that. Love the units, as a matter of fact. Bags I felt were a bit flimsy so bought a second set of real good ones. Would hate to be out camping and have one of the bags rip so a spare set is always a good idea anyway. We use the bags that came with the set as a backup.

Same thing happened to me and I never did get an answer as to WHY? But, I still like the bags and use them frequently. Keep trying to buy them local, but no luck so far.

You are not doing anything wrong. I can never get the bags to zip properly either. I just squeeze as much air out as possible, zip the bag as best I can, then fold the top over and wrap a large gum band (top to bottom) to keep it from spilling.

It is, try squishing the bag to see if it'll break up. I had a few big chunks in one of mine, but it's fine now. If it doesn't break up I'd contact the company and have them send a new one.

Yes, my wife had the same problem and this is what she uses them for. They work well, she says they are a little long but sturdy.

We've only had ours for one season. So have not had this problem. Could the bags have become too porous? Try calling the seller. We did this last year. They were very helpful.

Last night I struggled with this exact same issue when I opened a new bag. I never got it to zip back up. So if anyone has a tip please tell us.

Your bag is most likely defective. It is impossible to know for how long exactly those holes have been there, in which case many different bacteria could have entered it. I would not feed that to my dog.

I wish I could help you. I never had that problem. There usually is a clip on the handles to keep them together. Good Luck.

Yes, you're absolutely right. The little "dots" are supposed to stay together as that is what holds the item away from the juice/grease. I just recently started using my grill (bought it back last Dec. online) & have cooked probably 5-7 items on it. I've had no problem with the food dropping to the bottom of the bag & when I take it out,, it appears all the little dots are still connected. I did tons of research before my purchase & IMO it sounds as though you might have some inferior bags.

well, the spring clips on the side... did you bend them? like permanently out of shape? once they go into the slots, they stay spread open and hold up the plastic face. if you bent them though, i'd suggest bending them back? Can't see how the face doesn't stay up and closed unless you had bent them out of shape?

I push down on the plastic piece and it seems to come loose and pop loose. They dont tell you what to do ...I hope i am doing the right thing. I do love it though. This is the second one that i have had. The last wasdifferent. I am sure you will like it.

If the box just looks like it was crushed it's probably ok because they should be in plastic, if that's torn I'd send back. We put ours in a ziplock bag. Hope this helps.

well, some of mine were intact so i followed that example. i would assume that if they were all at the bottom of the box, that the glass was completely loose?! you kind of push them up against the glass and into the track and then slide them left or right until they are wedged in tight. i think there were 2 or 3 on a side. it's been fine since then. i hope that helps you

You need to have them in fairly tight, try tapping them with a rubber mallet to make sure they have clicked into the slots :)

No John, they are very troublesome. I think our machine just stopped working and we got rid of it. The bag fits, it didn't expand and fill up. It seriouslt may have been our cleaner and there is not a thing wrong with the bags. like I said, they fit well
