Has anyone ever tried this portable vacuum device they make, it's considerably cheaper then a full foodsaver vac machine, $25 vs $150:

Are they reliable at all, can they only be used to seal specific sized bags? Anyone care to explain, kinda don't vacuum seal food myself heh.

I would not recommend using this system, but I do personally own this and use it for food all the time.

i've recently bought the vac. seal. machine - food saver v2860 kit and it's worth every euro! if you really want a quality vac. seal. machine you have to invest in some quality product! the cheaper products are mostly more difficult to handle or don't seal to 100% or have 2x separate steps... - which make the whole process even longer... - get yourself a food saver! it's the right choice, believe me and easy to learn with the quick start guide! :)

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
DO NOT USE A "SEALER" THAT RELIES ON A FLAP ON THE BAG.
The end result is about as "sealed" as the backside of a DuPont Circle Meth Whore.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
Crimp with heat is the only way to go.
