If I use a grocery bag to line this, will it show when the lid is closed?

Yes, the way I insert mine it would. However, I think you could probably be neater with using the bag and tuck the edges between the insert pail and the outside wall. It's a little difficult to describe. There is an insert that can be lifted out to clean, so I think if you lifted it up when putting the bag in place the edges of the bag should be covered, but I haven't tried it. Hope that is clear.

I don't think there's enough clearance for the thickness of a paper bag. Plastic produce bags are too small. Though more expensive, the J Bag fits perfectly, and is invisible.

No it does not but they stayed closed. I have not had any problems with my bags coming open.

I've done it pretty much since I bought this can. I use double plastic grocery bags just in case they leak.

No the liquid will be fine. Just fill to the line, let cool, be sure to pressure shut the lid.

It depends upon the contents. If it's compressible, like clothing, you can press over the contents with a book, fold the bag where it is empty, then seal.

Dawn,As the lid is compacted down, the bag is forced against the side of the container and thus mostly protected from rips. One must exercise a little care in the early stages of filling the can as you would with any normal filling. If there are wet and adhesive items, such as food waste, on top of the "pile" that is being pushed down, some of it will adhere to the underside of the lid. The great news is, you can toss the lid in the dishwasher or simply wipe it down like a kitchen surface.

i seal the opened end then cut and fill bag. leaving approx 3".( it works better if a minimum amount of liquid is on food.) seal bag.good product in my opinion.

when you hold it open for a while, specially of it fold it all the way back, it won't align completely when you close it, but it only only takes a few seconds to stretch it and close it so it aligns again. it's a minor issue with me because like I said I just push the lid from the area where it folds towards the front, a couple of pushes and it's back to closing perfectly, I can imagine with time I won't have to do it anymore.

You can look and tell and see when it is getting full. Also there is a line I think it is black that tells you that it is last bag.

yes! do not pour food or liquid above the fill line which is basically where the bottom of the lid will rest once closed.

To answer your question no you should not line the machine with a plastic bag. No room for that and the bend is about 11 inches . Hope this helps.�

I haven't had any issues with the lid coming open. The Velcro is pretty strong and I currently have my bike hanging from my ceiling upside down and the lid hasn't ever opened up even with items in the bag.

The bag does hold without the lid, and no the lid does not come off. I don't recommend this product because after closing the lid about 50 times, the little clip that keeps it closed broke off and could not be fixed. I ended up having to keep it closed with a clothes pin until I could replace the trash can with a better one.

The food does not "go through it ". The edge of the bag is placed inside the opening, then the vacuum begins and the bag is then sealed.

I think the bag would stay on w/o lid, but lid has wire that holds it down while on, never tried w/o lid on. Yes the lid comes off. I like this product.

If the cap clicks tight you should be fine. I have tipped my new bottle over and not had a problem. However, if there is something else in your bag that might "uncatch" the lid, or it gets loose through the years, it will obviously spill. It's not going to just open by the shear force of the water itself - something would really have to snag it. All that being said, I did have my old one come open and everything in my bag got wet - but it might have been my fault in not snapping the lid shut tightly. Hope that is helpful. I really like this bottle and think it might be worth the try. If the cap clicks tight you should be fine. I have tipped my new bottle over and not had a problem.

Its hard to say without know what your trying to seal, but it won't pull a complete vacuum if there are gaps where air can get trapped, its not powerful enough for that. It helps to arrange the food so that it is at the bottom of the bag and compacted as much as possible before hand.
