Can these bags be used with Ziploc pump or Handivac handheld

They need to be used with a sealer not a handheld handivac. Hope this helps.

While I've not tried either, I would think not. They are specifically designed to be used on a powerful vacuum seal machine. I doubt you would get much benefit without the sealer.

I have never tried them with any other bags other than the ones recommended.

I think there is some confusion in the previous 2 answers - they must have been thinking of a different product (the quart bags).According to the reviews, these do NOT work with the hand pump. Based on the picture this looks correct, because these bags do not have the hole that the pump connects to. You can see the difference if you compare the picture of these with the picture of the quart-sized vacuum bags.

The ziploc bags are not air tight. They have a zipper around the top so should stay shut but also have a narrow mesh around the top and are not vacuum sealed.

Yes they do. Real simple and easy to do and I love mine. You get the bags at Walmart, which I hate, so O ordered a bunch off of Amazon awhile back. The manual hand pump is great, easy to clean, and store it. WORKS GREAT!!!!!!!

Gloria... I have both the handheld and v2430 Foodsaver vacuum sealer and just tried...sadly you cannot use the bottle stoppers with the hand held saver. Paula

Yes but the quality ziplock freezer bags don't work because the zipper part is too thick. Use regular cheap store brand ones

I haven't used the Ziploc but I would think it would work if you have an accessory port.

I never used the manual pump but I don't see why not. I used several brands of storage bags with my medela pump.

One may use these bags on any vacuum chamber machine. I use a Henkelmann. Beware these bag have very poor tolerance against pointed stuff. I vacuumed sealed rice and when the bags were completely removed of air, the rice grains were able to pierce through these bags hence all vacuum pressure was lost. This is not isolated incidences.

I'm not sure because I've given it away. But, since it did not come with a pump, I used a generic electric pump that a friend of mine had, so I think that it's suitable for any handheld electric pump.

it is a little tricky but does work. Most of the time I use the ziplock one that is a hand pump instead of the handheld vacuum sealer.

You use this with any small hand vacuum cleaner. The big part that you see on the right in the picture is a male to male connector to plug into the inlet opening on your hand vacuum. Then the large part you see on the left is a female connector to hook onto the end of the aforementioned male connector that you just put in your hand vac. The other end of the female connector is reduced down to fit the pictured hose. Then the fitting on the end of the hose will fit into any of the other small accessories that are pictured in the center of the picture. I hope that answers your question.

Yes on the first point--I use it with Ziploc vacuum bags and find it vastly superior to the manual pump that came with the bag starter kit.As to the second, it has a reservoir for liquid, which is fine if you end up sucking out some marinade or oil or something, but I wouldn't recommend using any vacuum on liquid food.

I use a Coleman battery operated pump. I have never used a hand pump. It might take you some time.

You should be able to use Kangzhu Hand Pump Vacuum Gun with Extension Hose.

I believe, as an additional accessory, you can purchase vacuum seal canisters for this unit. I have only used it with bags. The canisters due work with the accessory port. Hope this helps.

Sorry, not familiar with Reynolds pump. I use the pump originally offered by ZIPLOC for Vacuum bags.
