Can it seal wet foods like marinated meat?

Only with care. The suction pulls liquid into the seal area, so pre-freeze wet items or use the moist setting and manual seal.

Does it work with any vacuum bag?

It works best with textured or channeled vacuum bags and rolls. Smooth storage bags and thin generic bags often seal poorly.

Yes, for dry or pre-frozen foods. Double-seal the bag and keep the seal above the water line.

Chamber sealers pull a stronger vacuum and handle liquids, but they are larger and heavier. This unit is simpler and better for light use.

Typically the sealer, a roll of vacuum bag material, and a starter set of bags. Check the listing for the exact count.

It helps for a few weeks to a few months. Inspect seals before freezing and double-seal anything you plan to keep longer.
