Can I use a vacuum cleaner to deflat these bags or do I have to buy a special vacuum pump?

Hello, any household vacuum cleaner will work even the size does not matter as long as it has good suction. All you do is remove the Vacuum Handle and place the hose on top of the suction cap and turn it on; it will do the job. Thank you

A vacuum cleaner worked fine for me. If you need more power, the Black & Decker pump is good.

Don't think so, these use a simple hand vacuum pump that amazon sells for 3-4 dollars.

"But", you don't need another bag inside of the bag that comes with the vac. Just dump the bag and reinsert it for the next job.

There are two different vacuum cleaner. One is an upright and the other is a hand/shoulder canister. You can't use them together. Two different machines.

The bags have a Ziploc type top. You then vacuum out the air. It works great for me, but I have had one bag that would not vacuum seal. Probably a tiny hole in it some where. Figured it was a factory defect which will happen.

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

No, but I wouldn't do it. I broke a Hoover that way once. Dust was so fine it got all inside it despite the bag. Use a shop vac.

I do not use bags. I only use my Reynolds vacuum sealer with the special lids for Mason Jars. It works fabulously with the Mason jars.

Of course..a vac pump is used on empty refr lines to pull out air, not refr...will work on any system

I would buy some of those thick storage bags that you can attach a vacuum cleaner to! You know, the ones you can put clothes in etc...This would do a great job of removing all the air and would only take a few seconds to do. I should probably patent this idea!

You can use a vacuum extension (in reverse) for the main outer section, but you will need something smaller to blow up the two inside parts. We used a hose similar to the ones you would find to fill up your tires at a gas station. Not sure where you would find this, but you definitely need something small enough to fit in that part.

Yes you can, I had no problem of pulling down to 30" of vacuum on refrigeration system that I boughtThis pump for. Great little pump.Dick

What if you want the pump because you go on a vacation. You cannot always get the use of a vacuum cleaner. Were going to Europe and I do not know if they will let me use the vacuum.

there are special bags for travel that don't require a vacuum to get the air out. You roll them and it takes the air out. I have some but have not used them yet but they do work cause I tested them.

I don't believe you can. The bags used with a vacuum machine have a connection for the machine. The bags I ordered did not have such a connection.
