Can you use the 3 mil poly nylon vacuum bags with this or do you have to use the ziploc brand?

HiI've used other vacuum bags when I wanted to rewrap cheeses and meats that I received from friends with different machines. I assume that would apply to the bags you're asking about. Vacuum and heat seal worked good on other bags. I hope that helps.

My wife has only used this Vacuum Sealer with Ziploc bags and numerous Mylar bags (chips, etc.). Wish I could be of more assistance.

I know this answer is late but yes you can use competitor bags. 3mil may be a little thick, if you don't see a almost completely clear seal, just reseal that area again and you'll be good to go. Hope this helps.

I purchased my rolls of bags from http://www.pmgquality.com/productCat90502.ctlg. They have work well for me. But it depends on what you are sealing. Check out the videos on this site or on Utube for more info.

I have a Rival vacuum sealer and I really like the bags. I've used the sealer bags where you cut the bags to the desired length and seal both ends. These eliminate the extra step.

I qualify my answer by saying that I have a VacMaster unit and that I use these VacMaster bags for sous vide cooking. That said, as far as I can tell from the PS 300 specs, the 8x10 VacMaster bags should work in the Polyscience 300 units. Also, I find that I have to use extra sealing time with my unit - a few extra seconds.

http://mielestore.com/default/vacuum-cleaners/dustbags.htmlThis is the Miele Store site and will tell you which ones go with which, from what I can tell you need to know more on your model. Please ask again and I'll try to let you know more if I can help.

good question, but---there's no answer. None of the descriptions I've been able to find give sizes. Even tho the item supposedly would fit the space bags, it's really for canning. The space bags are really frustrating. Even using the hose on a vacuum cleaner for the "vacuum" part, but many of the bags still leak and have to be done over and over. Thought this gadget would do the trick, but it doesn't. Even ordered the Ziploc bags for the kitchen with the manual "vacuum" designed for them, but that doesn't even work well for the smaller bags and doesn't fit the space bags either. Wish I could give you a better answer or advice. I've wasted a lot of money on the space bags--about half of them work as advertised, so the rest are only good for a see-thru storage for items. Hope you have better luck.

Yes, suction power will be reduced, minimally though. Miele tests their machines using their bags. 3M uses different polyester material to manufacturer their bags, and it's not optimized for miele machines.

Yes, it should work just fine with vacuum bags. I have to hold down my small rugs when vacuuming cuz the vac sucks up the whole rug. Good suction.

We use 1 mil poly bags, but look at the details to see which bags can be used in each sealer. I like Uline's Impulse sealers the best!

The label on our MC-6955 vac says it used Bag: Type U OR U3 and Belt :Type UB. Hope this helps!

Must one use the "vacuum bags" inside the fabric bag or can you use it "as is?"

i've never seen the ziploc totes, and i know i saw a mesh vent on the small ones i bought, but i honestly cant remember. i'm out on business and i can confirm when i get back on the weekend. sorry i cant be of much help right now. i can tell you its strong plastic and an overall good buy for storage.

Yes, I have been using the vacuum seal bag that ziplock sells with good success , but you have to be sure the sealing surface is not wet or becomes wet during the vacuum sealing process, or the seal will not make.

You can cut the bag in half or to fit the item you are vacuum sealing. Then just seal the open end(s) before vacuum sealing. Hope this helps.

I use Ziplock vacuum bags. They are less expensive and I actually like them better.

Yes, but they must be the Ziploc VACUUM seal bags, not the regular Ziploc bags that come with pre-attached sealers.

At least, this model is not well designed to fit Ziploc bags. I don't know if it will fit any other brand of bags. I did not buy any other vacum pump after this.
