Walmart Vacuum Sealer Bags
Walmart is now carrying a Great Value brand of vacuum sealer bags/rolls.
Under $6.50+/- for 16 feet of 11" wide rolls. Anyone used these yet, I haven't done a price comparison yet either -- Regards, Mike (Piedmont) http://groups.msn.com/ThePracticalBarBQr/_whatsnew.msn |

I was looking at them too but bought the B&D ones because they had a
closeout and were cheaper. The box says works with all sealers.

The Tilia bags/rolls are apparently manufactured by Sorbent Systems. And yes they used to sell them. Tilia holds the patent for their special channel bags and apparently Sorbent didn't have a license to sell them. > > If you're using a FoodSaver knockoff, the bags I use > > won't work on/in you machine. > > Mine is a Tilia.

I sound like I'm trying to be a smartass, but the point is that snorkel machines like the Sinbo VS280 don't require any special type of bag other then it be heat sealable. While common Ziplock bags can be evacuated and sealed with a snorkel machine they are highly unreliable for maintaining a vacuum over time. The multilayer Tilia bags/rolls are clearly superior in that regard, but not enough to justify the cost IMO. > > I doubt it, but I'll give it a go. > > -- > Stan Don't bother Stan.

Do they hold their seal acceptably? Reason I ask is that my Tilia is starting to go belly up and I'm ready to purchase a new machine. I owe no loyalty to Tilia. -- Stan |

Plus most vacuum failures can simply be resealed to achieve acceptable performance. Check out http://www.sorbentsystems.com/ for the variety of equipment and supplies that they offer. They offer a full range of commercial equipment and supplies as well as their home user products. I buy only single layer 3 mil bags, although they offer a wide variety of thicker poly bags as well as foil products. As soon as you get beyond the 3 mil materials, you approach Tilia prices for bag material. -- The Brick said that (Don't bother to agree with me, I have already changed my mind.) ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Tilia uses a 5-ply bag which is clearly superior to a single layer 3 mil bag. However, how much better relative to required performance is up for grabs. I opt for the much cheaper single layer poly bags and get along just fine with them. Sorbent Systems makes bags in more then one thickness and from a variety of materials. A bag like MRE's are packed in will cost you dearly, but Sorbent will supply them for you if that's what you want. I did a comparison a few months ago using the ability to crush an aluminum beer can as the criteria. Neither machine was able to crush a can completely flat, but the Tilia had a barely noticeable edge. Using the ability to preserve cheese as a guide, my Sinbo absolutely preserves cheese between uses. In that instance, I just reseal the same bag each time I close it back up. I only lose about 1/2" of the bag each time I open it. I still have a picture of the Sinbo packed beercan. I will post it on ABF if you like. -- The Brick said that (Don't bother to agree with me, I have already changed my mind.) ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Found the Tilia Pro III, their top of the line model, for $163. It's brand new, still in the box and comes with the usual extras, including warranty. Tilia sells it for $299. With shipping, it came to just under $183. That'll make up for the price difference on the bags for awhile anyway. -- Stan |
