Has anyone used regular bags instead of Rival original ones?

Lots of brands will work. Weston bags (available from Amazon & prime eligible) work very well and are pretty inexpensive. Of course, if you mean to ask "plain bags", then no- you need ones designed for a clamp vac sealer. But the Weston are about as good as you'll find.

I have never bought trash bags. I have always used the supermarket and department store bags for this purpose......way cheaper and they fit perfectly!

I have Food Saver model V3020. The bags work just fine with my model. I do find them to be a wee bit thinner than the Food Saver brand.

I have not used regular trash bags. Only used bags that accompany this diaper pail, which has a plastic ring on top of bag to keep bag secure in diaper pail.

I order a box of the larger bags by mistake and returned them. Not sure if Amazon still has them, but I'd look, since they had them not long ago.

B Bags. Any generic B bag will work. Unfortunately, the bags featured along with this vacuum are not the correct ones. The cardboard part that slips into the bag holder needs to be larger than the ones featured. B Bags have the wider cardboard. Update: Just checked the listing of this vacuum cleaner and see that the bags recommended for it are now the correct ones. When I purchased mine, they had the wrong bags shown.

Hi! I have tried with no luck purchasing other garbage bags. I have since purchased the simply human bags and have not looked back. To me it's worth the investment.

That is very confusing. I would just stick with the standard, which contains 3 bags. Order multiple of those if you need more.

Hi. I use standard bags with the drawstring tops. They work just fine. I am very happy with this can.

I have a really old Mighty Might, so it may be the "original". It says "2HP" on the side. It uses C style bags. MM style did not fit. It still works like new. I am getting the newest one now for my sister. I hope it is as good as the "original".

I don't have the other bag to compare. But I know this bag was very large so I returned it. It does not feel like a regular bag either. It's extremely blocky and bulky. It is larger than a regular backpack.

I have used the Foodsaver bags without any problems. I prefer the VacMaster or Cabelas bags better.

I just use plastic bags from the supermarket. A little trickier - because they don't fit exactly. But they do the job, and I get to recycle all those bags!

No, but the manufacturer's replacement bags do fit better so you should weigh the cost of mfg bags vs other brands.

I use regular trash bags. Unlike my automatic electric trash compactor, I have found they work just as well.
