She's right. They work really well.

Look at the 4th tab with freezer times. While I don't do this with
lettuce or berries etc. (nor bread) I assure you the meat times are
accurate. The range is based on if you are using commercial level
bags, or cheapos from Walmart.

Thats not the cheapest bags but the work well and it's 98 feet of
material which if you cut it a bit long, can be rinsed and reused with
a smaller item (to reduce landfill).
There's a decent looking unit out there for 150$. Mine is out of stock
right now but didn't cost much more in 2009 when we got it. Still
running fine.
