I really love this vacuum sealer! I've always wanted one and this one is perfect. You can buy the off brand vacuum sealer bags and it works just fine with this one too. I was able to organize my freezer with ease and have a lot of room to spare. Everything stacks so nicely in it now and I am actively looking for more stuff to seal. Works very well and so easy to use. Even works when you want to vacuum seal clothes into a bag!
