yes works great. battery life is a concern. we had one that plugged in and had no problems

I cannot get it to seal much without it putting a hole in it. Would not recommend buying this product.

I threw the thing in the trash. Teuro sealer- battery operated did not work on any kind of bag- myler or anything else. Dont waste your money on it.

It'll seal Mylar bags and it'll even reseal a potato chip bag stronger than the factory seal so I don't see why not. It has a low and higher heat setting but no timer so you'll have to wing it and experiment a bit so you know what is too little or too much.

If you are asking about mylar bags I cannot say, They have sealed every plastic type of bag I have needed to.

Yes this will work with Mylar bags. You will have to adjust the number setting so that it has a longer time for the thermal sealer to seal the Mylar bag. For 5 gallon Mylar bags or bags wider than what this unit can seal you have to seal in two or three steps.

No. Due to the smooth edges of the mylar it cannot form a vacuum. What I do is to put an oxidizer in the bag, use my jar sealer attached to a straw, seal the bag with a hot iron up to the straw, pull a vacuum as best you can, then quickly remove the straw and seal. The oxidizer in the bag will remove whatever air is left. You want to use extra oxidizers to ensure good air removal.

I don't believe so. It is designed for: Mylar, Polypropylene, Static shielding, Nylon, Polyethylene, & Polyurethane bags

Cut a small strip of the quilted side of a foodsaver bag. Place it at the top of the mylar bag. (The part that will go in the chamber) It will vacuum like a champ. You might have to press seal 2x as these are very thick and the vacuum sealers aren't built to seal them. Then I would advise following up sealing with a hot iron to be sure. I do this all the time & it works wonderfully. But I still add the oxygen absorbers before I vacuum seal.

The sealer will seal up to 12". I use the bags from a roll and cut the bag to fit the item. Some of mine are over 5 gallon capacity but the width is still 10 - 12 inches.

I think you would have to buy the Foodsaver tube attachment & still am not sure it would work. This is a great sealer, but works best with the bags that it is made seal since it has the "port" to seal it.

Yes. The smaller bags have held their seal longer, but I've generally been having the same issue. It doesn't look like the bags have any punctures or tears, so the problem is either in the valve, or the seal -- the seal itself is not very well-designed, as you keep it very flat to prevent any creases in the seal (which make be a source of leaks). There is a "pincher" tool to help straighten out the seal, but it's not really effective -- a zip-top may have been better. All in all, I would not buy this product again.

Absolutely. Leaves a very professional seal. I used to do double seals just in case but don't have to with this. I use the 3.6 Mylar and seals within a second.

Don't know about sealing jars, does not come with a hose. Have not tried Mylar, I understand that's a whole different system, but do not personally know anything about it. I buy bags online from several different merchants and have run thousands of them thru this sealer, never had a problem despite using different brands.

Dear J, I use different brands of food saver bags with my unit. As long as the bags are designed for vacuum sealing you should be fine. Enjoy!

Absolutely, then go on amazon and buy cheap vacuum sealer bags, they are less than half the cost and work just as well.

I can't answer that questions without knowing what sealer and what bags you got with it. I can say they are not as strong as the major brands but I agree with L. Franks about the second seal. I do recommend this even with the major brands. I have had the same problem with them. As cheap as they are it would be worth the try to make that decision yourself. As far as a ridiculous question I do not agree. No question is a bad question, sometimes more information is needed. Ones gain of knowledge may come in a form that is ridiculous to another.

Yes, this works with ALL brands of non-chamber (bag outside sealer) sealers. They will also work with the chamber sealers, however, chamber sealers use a less expensive non-embossed bag.

Probably not. They are smooth bags that do not have the channels that most other vacuum sealer bags need to be able to suck the air out of the bags.
