From what I believe, things will keep longer and stay fresher when vacuum sealed. This goes for both refrigerator or freezer.

That's when I got mine! Thanks to the $25 Masterpass promo, it made the unit $110.99 + tax back then.

I find that the non dimpled bags don't work well at all.ShinConker wrote: ↑ I bought this foodsaver back in 2017 (http://forums.redflagdeals.com/costco-f ... 9-2136414/)
It is well made and it still works great as of today! Never had any issues with it, but I must say BEWARE of cheap knock-off sealing bags on amazon. Some of them are AWFUL and at first I thought it was the actual foodsaver that was malfunctioning. It wasn't! I've been buying 11"x50 (x2) from "FreshLocker" in the past year from amazon (around ~32 bucks for 2 rolls) and they're working perfectly with this foodsaver (also way cheaper than the foodsaver branded bags)
Buy with confidence I'd say

Those non-textured bags are more than likely meant for chamber vacuum sealers and not the standard foodsaver type ones.

Similar things - just think of vacuum sealing is a better version of ziplocking for longer term storage.

I've found the Freshlocker bags to be a good bag as well. My only beefs with them are: the plastic isn't as pliable as the originals probably because they seem to be thicker AND the dimples aren't as deep which causing any moisture to move faster when sealing.ShinConker wrote: ↑ I bought this foodsaver back in 2017 (http://forums.redflagdeals.com/costco-f ... 9-2136414/)

I recently got some Freshlocker rolls which seem to be pretty good - https://www.amazon.ca/Freshlocker-Vacuu ... reshlocker - which were on sale at that time. Other bags I've been looking at but didn't buy (as I have two 50' rolls of each 8" and 11" so it will last me a while) yet are the ones from OutofAir as they have near perfect reviews on Amazon.com - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06XG9 ...

I got something called Houseables from Amazon because they were on a lightning deal. I've had a few seal fails, all but one are my fault for being cheap and not leaving enough bag to properly seal. I did have one that failed after I took it out of the freezer, not sure why. Otherwise, they've been great.craftsman wrote: ↑ I recently got some Freshlocker rolls which seem to be pretty good - https://www.amazon.ca/Freshlocker-Vacuu ... reshlocker - which were on sale at that time.

Yes, Costco sells the Foodsaver bags in a box usually containing a couple of 12” rolls, an 8” roll and some premade 8” bags, IIRC. They have gone on sale for about $30 a box a couple of times a year.
