Vac Fresh Food Vacuum Sealer Rolls (8" x 50', 2 Rolls), 3.5mil Embossed Food Storage Bags, Vacuum Seal Bags for Meal Prep, Sous Vide Bags for Cooking (100 Feet)

I purchased these thinking I would roll the dice on them given the price point of the genuine bags and hopefully they would be passable.Much to my delight these held up better than I expected and in the end I ordered the larger ones as well! I will be adding photos of measurements but they seem to actually be a hair thicker than the F.S. bags and seal and draw suction just fine. I put irregularly shaped articles in them to see how they would vacuum down around them. They did fine but don't take my word for it see the photo I took after a week sealed in the bag.Given that that food vacuum sealers are supposed to save you money it amazes me that the manufacturer of the device seems to want half of there projected savings in bag expenses! These are an awesome alternative to higher priced bags! Given how much I liked these I just ordered the 11" as well so now I have 200 feet of bag material for less than the cost of one pack I buy that isn't even 1/2 that much.I don't do much boil-in-bag cooking so I can't comment on that use case but they do claim you can freeze, microwave or boil in them.**The one point I will caution on is these seem to possibly tear more easily than manufacturer bags. The reason I put it that way is that I rolled the end of a bag to keep the ends clean while filling it a couple of days ago and when I unrolled it I noted a slight split on the open edge. I didn't think I was hard on it but nonetheless it was torn. I think for most applications you will be quite happy but if you are sealing needles, scissors or a swordfish watch out! ;)

I really like my "FoodSaver Food Sealer" but the refills for that particular brand was expensive and wasn't what I wanted or used on regular bases. Long story short FoodSaver, Brand refills Just wasn’t working for me.And these work prefect for all my needs. Thank You!

I honestly don't know how this stuff has so many good reviews. It's so thin it constantly burns right through the material when my Rival unit tries to seal it! I've already had to throw out good food that got freezer burn using this crap and not realizing the bag leaked. I've thrown it out and will never buy again.

They don’t work well on my food saver machine. The texture isn’t pronounced enough to allow the air to be easily sucked out.

These rolls are much thinner than expected. Will NOT be using them to freeze meat. I'm used to Foodsaver brand, but tried to save money buying these. Wont be buying them again. Very easy to tear.

I like that the rolls are slightly bigger than what I have found in stores. Possible some good sized rolls are available in a store, but I don't know off hand what store. Better value than the size available @ Walmart.

The rolls are too big to fit in our machine but the quality is much better than some if the smaller rolls we’ve bought.

Bags are as advertised, but are thinner than other bags I've used. Can easily have holes poked in them when sealing dried goods.
