Can I use this to vacuum clothes space bags?

I do not believe it would work for that application. It is a small vac and I do not think powerful enough to work on the larger clothes bags.

Hello! I am assuming that you are referring to the boxes of space bags you can order from the TV or are sold in Sam's Club, Costco or BJ's, right? The Handi-Vac needs doesn't have a large enough sealer mouth to fit the space bag 'plug-in' portal, so--no, you can't. It can be used for the Ziploc vacuum food bags, though, and the FoodSaver plastic boxes/containers for marinating.

No the nozzle is too small. As was stated in previous answers, not the best for frozen foods bust great to put snack bags in to maintain freshness. Works well with refrigerated items like cheese and dry items.

I agree with Dan, plus the head is not large enough to cover the suction hole of space bags. In addition, this is a battery run appliance and would need battery replacement very, very often under that use. I find this Handi-Vac to be superior when used as the maker intended - for food sized bags!

No. The suction isn't very strong at all. I ended up tossing this item. I've recently bought clothes space bags and a vacuum or a shop vac seems to do the trick very well. I would NOT recommend buying the handi-vac sealing starter kit. Save up for a food sealer or something else.

Any vacuum will do...just make sure it has a hose attachment. The hose can vary in diameter, as the space around the suction point on the bag is smaller than the vacuum hose diameter and the space also includes a hard plastic ring that will support the vacuum hose without sucking in the plastic bag.

Yes, by all means. That's what I use it for to add perk to the carpet between vacuums.

I would imagine that would work fine. It produces about 30 in of vacuum, for your reference.

yes you can. the problem is that without a vacuum no matter you do, you will not be able to get all the air out.

I would say no. It is more for cleaning. You need to search fora clothing steamer.

I don't see why not. Fabric is fabric, regardless of what it is on. Don't use too much at first to be sure you don't make a mess with the white dust. Try using a vacuum cleaner to remove the bulk.

No. Not for fine particles like that. My robot comes with a bag that does that.

Yes the vacuum will work great for this. But I recommend that you buy the ShopVac #9066700 1.5 Gallon all-around collection bags in 3-pack for $7.28 on Amazon. They do not come with the vacuum!

Hi Samantha, Unfortunately no is only deep cleaner and is not designed for just vacuuming. Sorry!

Yes. Vacuum well first, use a new bag to pick up powder. I've used with an upright and a canister with equal results.

I cannot say for sure, haven't tried this. The container would have to withstand the vacuum pressure. If you try it, wear safety glasses and stand back. Good luck.

I am sure it could, although only if it were a small amount so I'm not sure it would be very effective. You would have to empty it more than I think would be viable for it to be a good vacuum to choose.

Compress as much air as possible out of the zipper bag before putting in space bag. Shouldn't be a problem to double bag.

As long as the vacuum motor is a brush type motor it will work. The commercial cleaning equipment manufacturers are starting to use voltage reducing switches on some of their backpack vacuums. They are doing this do reduce the noise level because there are more building going to daytime cleaning. Gunslinger45 has a great idea though. You could make a homemade suction diverter by drilling a hole on the upper end of your vac tool and using a piece of cork to plug it when you want full suction. Pull the cork out, it lets air in and reduces the suction.

I have used it with Sears canister and an Oreck upright. Make sure you vacuum well first, then change to a new bag.
