I got a ziploc pump to replace my Reynolds vacuum pump. If I were Reynolds I
would have quit too. This zioloc is great. It is much faster than the
Reynolds and does a better job and was much cheaper plus there are no
batteries. I am very pleased.

No batteries? Does it have a cord?

It's hand operated. You put the opening of the pump over the special
spot on the bag (it's like a one-way airlock)and pump it up and down.
Air comes out. Bag shrinks around food. Couldn't be simpler and, I might
add, it's a very quiet operation compared to the Tilia Food Saver or the
Reynolds battery thingie.

Sounds like something I want - and will give one to my son who will
actually use it. Where is this found? I bought that Reynolds one at
Target, but it sounded like grocery stores (at least some) also
carried it.

The Reynolds are out of production.

The Ziplocs can be found wherever Ziploc vacuum bags are sold - just
about everywhere. It's cheap.

Aha, thanks for the pointer. I'll look next time I go shopping. I
think I need sandwich sized baggies this time, so I shouldn't forget.

Got one just after they came out. Wait 'till you find out 7 out of 10 bags dont hold
the seal. (At least that's been my experience.)

You must be doing something wrong. All of my bags hold the seal just
fine. You probably weren't zipping them properly.

I find it really annoying to use the manual Ziploc, when Reynolds was
SO much better - but that's just me. I think Reynolds does a better
job. I'm p*ssed they quit.

Does anyone know if the Foodsaver handheld will work with the ZipLoc
bags?

I have both and lately have had a horrible time with the Reynolds; been
having much more success with the Ziploc unit. I use it for meats and
cheese. My old 3M Scotchpak non-vacuum sealer works a treat for liquids
(soup, spaghetti sauce, chili) or for that which contain liquid (fruit
for jam).
