Q: Questioncan i use any plastic bag

Asked 5 years ago by cl.

• A:Answer The bags need to have texture (air channels) on one of the internal surfaces. If you use a regular smooth plastic bag, the bag will just pinch shut and air can't get pulled out of the bag. I buy bulk packs of generic pre made vacuum bags online in various sizes. Faster than custom making bags from a roll and the large quantity generic packs are inexpensive. Just pay attention to the reviews and the thickness of the bags.

Q: QuestionIs there an on off button, or is it supposed to heat up when you plug it in?

Asked 3 years ago by Clairebear.

• A:Answer It only heats up when you turn the button on and sometimes I didn’t have my plastic bag in there correctly so I push the button before it sealed it and I was able to restart and correct it. It doesn’t tell you but you can also do a double seal you put it on there and burn it once take it out put it back in there and a fourth of an inch difference and burn again
