Kathy, I had an older model and now have a newer model Foodsaver. I still give both 5 stars. Steve

I'm not sure. I buy the rolls and bags that have the same packaging as the food saver I purchased. Hope this helps.

I use mine in Food Saver model V2244. It's also called a Bag Sealer on the bottom of the machine where the serial # and other info is. This is a manual machine, where you put product in the bag, because 3 sides are already sealed, then lay the unsealed top edge into the trough (this trough collects any water/juice from product). Close machine and select your choice of just plain seal, or vacuum and seal. These generic bags work every bit as well for me, as the more expensive bags from the Food Saver brand. Many of the bags I've seen in grocery stores indicate they can be used for Food Saver brand as well as Seal-A-Meal brand. This is just my personal experience, hope it helps.

It does, despite Foodsaver designing both items in a way to try to prevent it, so that consumers buy the more expensive, larger, foodsave rather than the Freshsaver. To get it to work, you simply press the Freshsaver down firmly over the wide mouth jar adapter to ensure a good seal and it will work just fine. Alternately, there is a hose attachment that complements the jar adapter that you can modify by cutting one end off and inserting the hose end to the Freshsaver, which makes it easier to get a good seal and suction.

I do not know. The old product from amazon appeared and acted the same. New product clumps and may just be poor design at opening or substitute product.

It would depend on which model you are using. If you have an upright model then it will not work. Be careful of overheating which can cause the FoodSaver not to seal properly.

I was wondering the same thing!!! I researched this model and was going to purchase it from Amazon, but heck no at this price!! It is on th Food Saver website for $200.96. There has to be a mistake, or someone is trying to rip people off!

I have the Rival food sealer and these work perfectly for me...I'd assume they would work with the Foodsaver as well?

I too own an old Foodsaver vac. I had to cut the gasket in order for it to fit. It seems to work just fine for sealing but I haven't extracted air since buying it.

No, not sure what food saver you have but mine has one that retracts in the lower right side. I almost didn't see it.

I'm wondering why you couldn't go ahead and hit the button to vacuum and seal then, when it's gone as far as you want it to go, hit the 'manual seal' button. I've done that on my Foodsaver machines. I'll have to check when mine arrives today (yay!). This wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me anyway, but it's worth a try if you use yours a lot for just manual sealing. One of my Foodsavers vacuums pretty fast and I can still get to the manual seal button in time, before it crushes the item. I seldom have the need to do that, but you might try it.

Most of the foodsaver models allow you to seal before it vacuums all the air out. Be sure to get a model with the drip tray. it comes with a good instruction book. Ours is much older and we love it.

This will work on any model that has the accessory feature. Attach the little hose to the port on the foodsaver and the other end to the jar attachment.

No, I do not. I know we tried to get a sealer for our old Food Saver and finally gave up and just got a new one. Sorry.

This is my second Foodsaver, an upgrade from my first one bought via infomercial. It's fabulous. I've used the first one to seal other types of bags, but I have not tried it with the new one. However, I can tell you that you can seal without using the vacuum function first. So it will probably work just fine.

I have FoodSaver and do not know about "Seal-A-Meal." If your machine works like FoodSaver there should be no problem.
