the air does not suck out with my hand pump. I tried another brand that I had been using and the air came out no problem. Is Vicarko brand finicky?

Answer: definitely finicky....I have a hand pump and find I have to reposition the pump

Answer: It might be. The first time I used the bags my hand pump worked perfectly and all the air was removed. The second time I used them, I couldn’t get the air to come out at all. Not sure what the issue was.

Answer: I use the Ziploc hand pump. It takes 10-12 pumps before the seal opens and the air can be pumped out. I have also used a Vac-u-Vin hand pump. It takes the same “prepumping” that the other hand pump does.

Answer: I’ve had no problem with the pump or the bags. However sometimes I’m too lazy to use the little zipper tool and then it doesn’t vacuum right but that’s my fault not the products’

Answer: Yes, this brand is a bit finicky, but I do get it to work every time. I just keep adjusting the pump placement.

Answer: I have a Ziplock hand pump it works fine with these bags just be sure you are sealed good along the seam

Answer: They are absolutely useless. The so called valve is not a valve. I would not recommend anything this company is involved with.

Answer: Yes. The up side is it seems to have a longer lasting seal once you achieve vacuum.

Answer: These work fine. I've even gotten multiple use from them.

How do I clean this pump out? I sucked up some fruit juice into the pump, tried to clean it as best I could, and now it wont work..

Answer: Hi. Please kindly take off the reservior, Clean remaining fruit juice with a damp cloth. If your juice has unfortunately entered the interior of the pump, we recommend that you use a hair dryer to dry it. Please be careful not to use hot air. Hope this helps.

Answer: I did not buy the pump. I have a manual one.

Answer: My did not work to begin with.

Does it come with a cutter for the roll?

Answer: Yes, it features a built-in cutter to create your own custom-sized bags. I really appreciate this vacuum machine, high quality and great price

Can these bags hold food and raw meats in an ice chest for camping without leaking?

Answer: Hi. Thank you for your interest. Yes, the Vacuum Sealer Bags are born for this. They allows you to help keep foods fresh longer in your fridge and pantry. Hope this helps.

Answer: We have traveled with these bags in a cooler without any leaks. To pull a vacuum on these bags, the bags are not completely full so there is not a lot of pressure on the seal from the contents of the bag.

Answer: I can't guarantee it, but it should work. I've used them to cook sous-vide, and no water got in. Also used them to store cooked food in the fridge, and didn't notice any leakage.

Answer: Never had one leak.

Answer: they seem to be sturdy and air tight, i have not seen them leak just make sure to seal completely

Answer: Yes!

will this work with nuwave vacuum sealed bags?

Answer: I don't know. They work well with my cuisinart sealer.

Answer: I wouldn't buy it, its junk

will this seal liquids such as pasta sauces?

Answer: Hi. Thank you for your interest. We recommend that you leave enough room for removal of air when you seal liquids. (Leave liquid line at least 2 finger widths below vacuum port.) Some liquids may be suctioned inside the pump housing, please wipe out the contents with a soft clean cloth, do not immerse the whole pump with water. Hope this helps.

Answer: Liquids should be pushed away from the vent hole where the vacuum is made, some juices or liquids may be suctioned inside the pump housing, and the clear cover pops off to clean inside, do not immerse the pump with water just wipe out the contents with a soft clean cloth. Works well l for less wet items like meats and vegetables, perfect for cooked meatballs to keep them fresh!!

Answer: Yes. Leave enough room for removal of air. Liquid will be extracted during the process, but the seal will engage when all air has been extracted. Leave liquid line at least 2 finger widths below vacuum port.

Answer: yes. I've sealed chili

Answer: Haven't tried liquids yet. I doubt it.

Do you sell the large bags (15.5 x 10 inches) separately?

Answer: Hi. Thank you for your interest. Please kindly note that the Gallon Bags we sell separately is 13.5" x 10“.

Answer: Don’t bother, as the valve does not work any size.

my pump worked great until I sucked up some meet juice, I washed out only the end of it and now it dose not work.. can I fix it?

Answer: Did you take off the clear plastic part and the white rubber tip? They come apart with a little twist. Wash with dish soap and let dry completely. Do not submerge the blue vacuum part but you can rinse it quickly under the tap and brush gently with an old toothbrush if necessary. I've had to do this a number of times and it still works fine. Oh, and make sure it is fully charged once you get it clean.

Want to take it on my family trip?

Answer: don't see why not, just clean them first.

Product reviews of VICARKO 30 Vacuum Zipper Bags, Vacuum Sealer Bags, Food Storage, Reusable Bags, with Double Layers, BPA Free, Gallon Size, 13.5 x 10"

Anna : Defective valves

These bags cannot be used for vacuum sealing. After trying multiple bags and multiple tries on each of those, we were able to determine, via a microscope, that the vacuum valve was defective. The tiny u-shaped flaps in the top layer of the valve are glued down to the layer underneath. These flaps should be able to lift up during the vacuum process to allow the air to exit and then lie back down. The zipper does work and the bags can be used for normal storage, but then, you could just use a regular zipper bag. Returning the bags.

Jennifer Mcrae : Doesn't work very good

Half the time it won't seal and if there's any moisture in the product it just sucks it out and into the machine even just using the seal button it was sucking moisture out and wouldn't seal bag because of this not worth the price for how crass ppy it works

Kindle Customer : Very good quality

These bags live up to the ad. They are a good thickness, hold vacuum over long period of time. I like the re-reusable feature. Not much more to say other than they are well worth the purchase price, will be buying again in the future.

Andrea L. Francis : Could have been great

It worked fine on one bag-the second bag not-so had to use 3 bags to get 2 sealed-I wanted to contact seller but could not find the icon in order to accomplish this

Marnell : Great vacuum seal bags

I used these bags to freeze huckleberries. The vacuum pack works great as the bags take up less room in the freezer. I have used the quart Ziploc bags that go with the little vacuum sealer I have but couldn’t find the quart sized ones to order. These are very different and looked twice as big when I pulled them out. But they are made to be flatter so I finally figured that out. They will do the job!

Chel : Should be good for summer harvests

I bought this to vacuum seal some of the extra veggies from harvest times in the summer before I freeze them.

I was surprised that the system was so affordable.

Looking forward to having too many veggies to eat again for a season ????

Guy R. Jackson : Wanted the bags more than the pump.

I previously bought a set of bags with an electronic suction pump. I loved it so much I needed additional bags so I bought this. I have no need for the hand vacuum pump but it is in the drawer just in case if needed.

Michael J. Tomaino : Dirty packing

Product was delivered in a filthy bag. Was coated in what appears to be lotion of some sort. Yuck!

Amy HUN : Perfect for sous-vide or just simply keep things fresh

I use these bags for sous vide and they vacuum really well. Also when I make my grocery shopping, I chop up the veggies, vacuum and put them per portion into the fridge. I love freshly cooked meals, and the preparation of ingredients beforehand makes it really quick and it is easy to make a fresh, veggie loaded dinner when I get home.
Last week I found a bag of sliced carrots and zucchini in the fridge after two weeks, the vacuum has losen up some, but the veggies were still perfect, in a minestrone they went, it was ready in half an hour. Also, as they can be used more times, you do good for the environment. Usual sous vide vacuum bags are thrown away after use.

Ann Lu Blewett : freezer vacuum bags

it is hard to get the suction going on these bags. and 2 did not have the suction port attached to it. I won't buy again.

Disgruntled : Not your best choice.

This works great but forget what you read about the bags being reusable. If you want to know what reusable means, grab a 1 quart freezer bag and try washing it. Ridiculous.

Replacement bags are way too expensive to be practical.

Lady Pagan : Fresh Saver Vac Compatible

Really liked these!
Yes, the Food Saver Fresh Saver Vac works with these bags (when sealed properly). I bought these because my Fresh Saver bags are getting difficult to find. These work great! Have yet to try to sou vide with these, but I’m just glad to have found a compatible vacuum seal bag. Will definitely buy again!

Jennifer Mcrae : Doesn't work very good

Stephainie : Stopped after using three times

Stop working after a few use not sure what to do it does not come on anymore bad buy never again

Staze Craze : Great quality and value!

I love my sous vide machine and being able to use these vacuum seal bags is so much easier than cutting and making my own with my vacuum sealer. They are a really good quality, good zipper and easy to get the air out with the attachment that came with my vacuum sealer. These are also great for storing/freezing leftovers and they last longer once vacuum sealed.

Marshall G : Good, strong zip. Poor reliability in heat. No sous vide.

I bought these for sous vide cooking after seeing answers from the seller in the Q&A saying they can be boiled and will work for sous vide.

My initial test use was at 137F for four hours with some cheap ingredients and they worked great. The zip is VERY strong and the bags seem thick. I thought I had a winner.

The next day I made a much more extravagant recipe with high quality (expensive) ingredients. The temperature on this one was 182F for three hours, but I wasn’t worried. These bags look far tougher than the Ziplocks I’ve been using.

Two hours into the cook I discovered the bag had failed. The water bath was full of sauce and the inside of the bag had a bunch of water. Dinner was ruined. We ended up ordering pizza. And my sous vide machine was fouled with sauce.

These might be fine for the freezer, but don’t trust the seller when they say they’ll work for sous vide.

On a side note: When I was ordering, I thought it was funny that all the color options showed blue bags. I ordered red and then they arrived and I saw why the pictures were the same: I got blue. Not a big deal, but why bother pretending to offer different colors?

Also, on a more concerning note, looking at the description now, I’m struck by the fact that whether or not they are BPA-free isn’t even mentioned. If they aren’t, then they are entirely inappropriate for sous vide even at lower temperatures, and questionably appropriate even for freezer use. It seems like it would be mentioned if they are BPA-free, so now I’m left to wonder if I should just throw them out. Hopefully I’ll get an answer soon on that.

Tom Judge : Good bags but maybe less frugal than FS bags.

Been buying thse bags for a while & just now realized the white clips than come with them are NOT part of packaging! They are to help completly close the zip! Duh! Overall these are superior to Food Saver bags. However, we wash & reuse vac zipper bags much as feasible (after soaking in very HOT water) and the vac ports seem to wear out faster on these than the Food Saver zipper bags. Not sure yet which is more frugal (vs cheaper).

Donna Hysell : Love, Love, Love

I love my new vacuum sealer. Very easy to use, compact, works every time. I am on my way to having fresh food in my freezer that will last a long time.

Amazon Customer : Option for the Foodsaver Handheld

I use these bags with the foodsaver handheld vacuum pump. Significantly less expensive than brand name bags. I think these bags are slightly heavier than the brand names, and I think they seal as well if not better than the Foodsaver branded bags

Lady Pagan : Fresh Saver Vac Compatible

billsa : Good, but missing one important item

It works but doesn't come with any instructions. None. I had to go online and watch Japanese language "how-to" videos to see why it wouldn't work. The key is the adapter doesn't seem to work with the bags included. In fact, the device works without it. I have no idea why it is in there....because there are no instructions.
When we finally found the answer on line, we are satisfied. It does work and recharges pretty quickly. So four stars out of five.
Does anybody know what the adapter is supposed to do?

Jennifer Mcrae : Doesn't work very good

Gene Albrecht : Useful but difficult to use

I like the ability to vacuum seal food and do use this product. However, each use is a dance to get the vacuum properly locate to begin the vacuum.

billsa : Good, but missing one important item

Historical Fiction Lover : Works as I expected

I wanted rechargeable and inexpensive and this contraption delivers. I don’t know how long the bags are going to be able to be cleaned and reused but after a couple of weeks of use no complaints.

Historical Fiction Lover : Works as I expected

I wanted rechargeable and inexpensive and this contraption delivers. I don’t know how long the bags are going to be able to be cleaned and reused but after a couple of weeks of use no complaints.

The Trusted Sage : Excellent Value for the Price!!

Original product came in two sizes, each of which was only sold separately at a higher per-unit price.
This offering included 3 sizes and had a slightly less per-unit price.
The product quality met or exceeded the original product.
And the vendor included a satisfaction guarantee!!

FeyDW : Don’t recommend

I tried to use this to keep food fresh longer. The bags are thick and sturdy, but the ziplock is impossible to get closed well...even using the back of a spoon to force it closed. Vacuum holds poorly, MAYBE for 24 hrs, probably due to the faulty ziplock seal. I won’t purchase again and I cannot recommend these bags to anyone.

g : Operation of Vacuum

I purchased this in order to have a longer life span on my food. It works great, does the job well...but only for about 3 weeks. Had my first one replaced, figured it might be defective but the same thing happened again. The button on top just quit working. I purchased a different brand for about $10 more...MUCH BETTER!!!
I wouldn’t waste my money on this brand, spend a little more and get one that really works! Hope this helps.

Douglas T Do : It caught on fire...

After using this thing once, I put it inside a shelf in my kitchen.

Since it doesn't hold a charge, I went to recharge it but as soon as I plugged the cable in, an orange light lit up the unit from the inside. That light ended up being a little fire and there was smoke coming out of the thing. I had to dunk it under a faucet to put it out.

The phrase "Buyer beware" applies extra here; don't keep this thing charging while you sleep.

Flo Skerratt : Tight seals keep food fresh

Once the air is removed, these bags stay tightly sealed and air out. These are the only bags that keep food fresh. The bags are heavy and well designed. This is the only brand I will buy.

Historical Fiction Lover : Works as I expected

I wanted rechargeable and inexpensive and this contraption delivers. I don’t know how long the bags are going to be able to be cleaned and reused but after a couple of weeks of use no complaints.

SherBear : Great for Luggage

Purchased these to help compact clothing items in my luggage so I could share a carry on bag with my toddler. They are the same as vacuum bags but no vacuum needed! Comes with a travel size pump that does not take up much of the needed space. The small bags were excellent for separating undergarments, bathing suits, small tops, etc.

Jaime Franco : A year later.

I purchased this product July 2020. At first the only complication was closing the bags and using the vacuum. The seal zipper takes some getting used to since it doesn't aline well. As for the vacuum, the suction was poor to begin with and would stop before done because it sucked the other side.
Now the zipper seal on the bags are falling apart. To be fair, the Q&A mentioned that the bags have about 5 uses each. I'd say at least 3 uses from each bag and would say they are about as reusable as freezer ziplock bags. As for the pump it has now stopped charging and will not work. I plug it in, it turns red, after a while it changes to green, I press the button and it changes back to red; no function or noise.
Overall, product is cheap and good to help you figure out if vacuum sealing is for your home. I suggest the company betters their product or the customer look for an alternative for a permanent home vacuum seal.

Debbie : Unit kept shutting off.

The suction unit, the part enabling the removal of air from the bags, would automatically shut off every 5 - 7 seconds, regardless of how much air was left in the bag. This product was a piece of junk and incredibly aggravating. Each time I'd get it to start removing air again, it'd shut off. Previously, I had a manual one from Ziplock - would love to see that back on the market.

Brenda J Ledbetter : Does not work

Went to use it the other day-will not work-put it on charger-shows good but still will not work. Not very happy with this product. Now have bags but no vacuum pump.
Would not recommend anybody to buy it-Waste of good money

Stonedigger : Pump great but buy a roll of packing tape for bags

Pump is great. Easy to use and powerful.

Bags not so great. Great idea but at least half the time the little valve fails to hold vacuum. I also found the many times it was hard to get bag to work in the first place. It often took several tries before my pump could start sucking the air out. Even if one worked at first rarely would it hold vacuum on reuse. I had a roll of heavy duty packing tape on the counter and thought I'd try a piece to seal the valve after the pump stopped. Worked very well. I cut a piece about 1 1/2 inches long , fold over an edge to make a tag for later removal, and put it on as soon as I move the pump. With this addition I can easily reuse bags. Packing tape (heavy duty) is easier to work with than duct tape and so far is doing the job.

D. Anderson : Inexpensive Vacuum Food Sealer That Works

I had been using another brand of hand vacuum sealer bags with their hand pump but the bags are no longer available, or at least I can't find them. I decided to try the VICARKO Vacuum Food Sealer. It works great on both their bags and my other brand bags. I am so glad I purchased this. I would buy it again in a heart beat! I do place my food in a resealable quart or sandwich bag first, and thus I can get multiple uses of the vacuum sealer bag.

silveryorkie : economical

Allows multiple use of storage bags. I buy Fritos in bulk packaging and divide and store individual serving of one ounce each. this bag keeps them crisp for weeks.

Barbara Franks : My loss

I liked it in the beginning

Then it wouldn’t charge

I waited a day and plugged in in, it was charging and then acted like it was sucking in air and wouldn’t shut off

So

I threw it away

Sorry ????

Will-Review4U : low cost way to do more sous vide

I wanted to get more bags for sous vide without having to use my food sealer or purchase another $25+ set that comes with a pump. We already a couple of pumps and just wanted bags. This set of bags is the solution to what we wanted! The item comes delivered in a vacuum sealed bag that includes 30 bags and 2 sealing closure sliding clips. The air port hole is compatible with both our manual pull push pump or our usb rechargeable vacuum. These have the handy white square block that allows me to write using crayon grease pen. I am pleased with this set as the price per bag is the lowest I can find on amazon.

Staze Craze : Great quality and value!

Julie V : More for your dollar!

So far these work great!! Great price for the quantity compared to the brand name!

Amazon Customer : Option for the Foodsaver Handheld

Melodee A. Decheek : Pleasantly surprised of the quality

Wonder product ! These bags are so easy to use. They are sturdy. If you use Perfect Portion individual bags for the contents, it's very easy to wash, dry and reuse them.

DCP Laker Fan : Good Bag

Since Ziplock vacuum bags are hard to find and expensive, these bags make a perfect substitute. Great deal, nice thickness to the bag, stores food in the freezer much better than non-vacuum bags.

2TheDogz : Great! Bags work with Ziploc Pump Too!

I've had a Ziploc vacuum hand pump sitting in my drawer for years. Hard to find the bags unless you want to pay a small fortune.
Bought this entire little Vicarko kit with manual hand pump for about 1/3 the price. It just arrived and I'm pleased with a quick test-run. Very easy to use (no instructions included). Because I want to wash)reuse, I put some messier items in plastic wrap/bags first & it still worked fine.
The bonus is that the bags work with my old Ziploc pump too.

Lady Pagan : Fresh Saver Vac Compatible

robert griffith : Vacuum bag pump

Works good for what it is. Certainly not a powerful vacuum but it does suck down the bags very well. Unfortunately all the bags are crappy as hell no matter who’s brand new use and that’s disappointing to say the least .

avocet : does not hold vacuum well

Item can be pumped down with some effort using a hand pump
but begins to leak after a short time .. nowhere near as good as
the old Ziploc vacuum pump bags

you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
