- Does it work with any vacuum bag?
- No. It needs channel-style vacuum bags and rolls, such as FoodSaver's own. Plain zip-top or freezer bags will not seal.
- Can I make my own bag sizes?
- Yes. The built-in roll storage and cutter let you pull a length of roll and cut a custom bag, then seal one end before filling.
- Is it good for sous vide?
- Yes, for most home sous vide. It seals moist foods reasonably well, but very wet foods are better frozen briefly first or sealed with a moist-food setting.
- How does it compare with FoodSaver's larger machines?
- It is simpler and smaller, without the extra modes and handheld attachments of the higher-tier models. For occasional sealing and freezer prep, it covers the basics.
- What comes in the box?
- The sealer, a roll of bag material, and a starter supply of pre-cut bags. Exact contents can vary by kit.
- Can it seal liquids?
- It is not designed for free liquids. Let sauces and soups cool and freeze them slightly before sealing.
- Where is the FoodSaver Starter System with Roll Storage cheapest?
- At Target, for $119.99, as of our latest check.
