“Are the bags easily pulled off the roll of bags (i.e., perforated separation lines like the plastic bags in grocery store produce sections? or separate bags that just fall off the roll?) or do you have to cut them off with a scissors?”

No they are not perforated on the rolls, that way you can make them as large or as small as you want. They are not like saran wrap but a thicker plastic that you don't have to peel off the roll. Some of the more expensive models have the built in holder for rolls and a cutter . Would have been nice but more expensive. Just cut them with the scissors or a razor. Would be nice if someone would come up with a holder and cutter as an accessory.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have to use a knife or scissors or the cutter you'd use to zip open envelopes to separate lengths of bag material from a roll. There are tick marks every inch along the two edges. When you register the Food Saver, you supposedly will get a (envelope) cutter as a freebie. Works much better than a knife or scissors. You also can buy zip-closure bags in quart and gallon sizes. For them, you'd need the hand-held vacuum unit. Pretty nifty. You can reuse those bags, as long as you don't seal in something sloppy.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have to cut the bag roll. Measuring the length beforehand is a little tricky but I am getting the hang of it. When in doubt, go long. Important to cut as straight as possible.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Our FoodSaver rolls don't have any perforations, they just a continuous roll. This will give you control over the length of the bag you want or need to make. Thanks!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The plastic is in a continuous roll. You must cut the bag to the desired length. This allows complete control over the length without any worry about air leaks in your bag.
