I dunno!? It looks rather hokey to me? It also uses battery power (six
AA batteries), so somehow I think its suction power might be rather
questionable?? And, what are those bags??? How well would that
'zippered edge' hold the seal (they look like modified ziplocs to me)?
The entire contraption & bags reminds me of those garmet bags that get
used with a vacuum cleaner, and I've heard rather dismal reviews for
that particular type of product.

I read the FAQs about the product. The bags are supposedly not
recommended as reusable. There is no mention whether the bags are
'boilable' or not.

However, I'll reserve ultimate judgment until I hear more.

Sky, who rather skeptical about this one

P.S. I very much like my Seal-A-Meal; wouldn't do without it.
