Question: Can someone please tell me two things about this product. Can you use a cheaper generic brand bag with it and can you seal liquid food. Thank You.
Document: Excellent seal for refrigerated items as well as things that quickly get stale like nuts and chips. So quick and easy it's really a pleasure to use. Price seems a bit high, but it's about 1/2 the price of the wide food sealers and 10 times as convenient.
The bags are heavy duty and easy to wash either by hand or in the dishwasher. The pistol is small enough to stay out of the way on the counter. It's easy and convenient to use, especially for things I use often like frozen fruit for smoothies. I can just take a bit out of the bag then quickly reseal it. I highly recommend this product.
One of the main things that makes this unit so great is its ease of use. I don't have a ton of counter space so didn't want to leave my full-sized food sealer out all the time, which means it seldom got used. Even when it was out, cutting a bag open and resealing it was a huge pain, so my &#34;bags&#34; generally only got one use and then went in the trash.
It's a great product. Doesn't take up a ton of room on your countertop, but it does what it's supposed to do-- it sucks all the air out of the bag very efficiently. This will probably encourage me to buy more food in bulk (chicken breasts, fish fillets, etc. ), then vacuum-seal & freeze it. My sister has a vacuum-seal device and she paid over $200 for it, so this product is definitely a "best buy".
After much research online between the Waring Pro and several Food Saver models, I chose the Waring. For one thing, the bags are reusable and are easily opened without having to cut them open. When I'm done I just reseal the bag and use the vac to get the air out. It takes but seconds to vacuum seal a bag, and several can be done back to back without any issues. The pistol charges quickly and lasts for several bags.
This thing is small, well built and the bags are heavy duty as stated. The Food Saver I had broke within the first two weeks and using those rolls of bag plastic was a pain. This sealer comes with a plastic thing used for closing the bags, but you'll likely not need it. although the bags are heavy duty and reusable, the instructions recommend throwing them away if they've held raw meet.
I love this thing! I didn't expect to, but I do. I bought it to be used for sealing and sorting frozen cubes of homemade baby food in my deep freezer. I am still surprised at how much I use it for things around the house. Gone are the days of cheese getting moldy. The days of medical testing strips or test strips for my pool going bad shortly after opening are over.
The vacuum seal prevents water from the melting ice in the cooler to mess with my food! I seal our cold cuts for sandwiches, too and they don't get icky. If you bring the Pro with you, you can reseal.So while I can't attest (yet) to the life of the product, so far the Waring Pro PVS10000 Pistol Vac is proving to be an essential in my kitchen and on the road.Very happy with this purchase!
I was looking for a food sealer system but did not want to pay the price for an actual sealer. This looked like a good option. However, I am noticing that with both frozen and non frozen items the seals are not lasting. Seal any item with even a little bit a moisture and you risk ruining the gun. The bags are just plain expensive and even though it says they are &#34;reusable&#34; there is no real way or specific product to clean them with.
Wasn't sure if I was going to keep this after I opened it. Had the old type press-and-seal type and wasn't sure I wanted this type. Was going to send it back but decided to give it a shot, very glad I did. The reusable bags are very heavy and easy to use - great seal. I think to keep them easier to clean & therefore preserve the reusable quality, I may put messy things in another wrapping and then seal in the reusable bags.
Answer: If by generic you mean regular zip-lock or plastic bags, I have tried and found it difficult.  You can put food in them and seal them in the reusable bags that come with this to save on cleaning them, but sealing regular bags is difficult.  As for sealing liquid, same thing, put in zip-lock bags and then seal in the re-usable ones that come with it.  The bags that come with it are extremely sturdy and very easy to seal repeatedly with the sealer.
