I had tried several before my brother bought me the Food Saver....they just were a huge disappointment and did not work well, so I had given up on that idea....my brother tried to sell me on a Food Saver but I was not having any of it.....so he went and bought me one!
The one I have now is the V3840 model....I was going to get the newest model a while back, was researching and studying each one....107barney and I discussed them and she bought the one I was also going to get.....then my microwave went out, my a/c went out, and then the extra fridge in the garage started acting loopy, so I had some major expenses and had to hold off on my updated Food Saver!
You can get the bags in rolls on Amazon....thanks to 107barney for THAT information!! and they are a lot cheaper than the ones you order from Food Saver and they work just as well. You put the roll in the machine and then you roll out as much bag as you want and cut it off with the little slide cutter on the machine......you can custom make the correct size bag you need!
Yes, you can freeze frozen stuff in the bags....just take it out of whatever you have it in now and put it in the Food Saver bag and suck the air out....the bag collapses tightly all around the frozen thing. I do my new born puppy milk formula that way. I make up a batch, freeze it in ice cube trays, then freeze 8-10 cubes in each Food Saver bag.....that way, I dont waste so much formula, as it is only good for a week in the fridge and when you have babies eating only a couple of cc's per feeding, there is a lot to discard at the end of a week!
