Q:
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.
Q:
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.
Q:
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
Q:
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!
Q:
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
Q:
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.
Q:
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.
Q:
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.
Q:
Want to take it on my family trip?
Answer: I often take it with me to travel, there will be many snacks to vacuumed on the way, it helps me a lot.

Does the air come back in the bags after a few days?

Answer: I don't use water. just fill the bag and air extractor

Answer: This is not a problem; These bags are reusable. Of course, if you make these bags dirty and you can't clean it, it's better to replace it with a new one.

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"
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.
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.
Suzanne Blaquiere : these do not work with any bag sealer...
These were supposed to be interchangeable with any vacuumlike sealer. After trying 3 different bags they dont work. Too late to return. Money wasted unfortunately. Love my bag sealer but these bags do not work with it.
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.
Val : Defective after one use, no warranty
After just one use (sealing 3 small bags) the “charging status light” stays always on, making the product unsafe to use (I guess there is a shortcut somewhere inside). I had the pump for a little more that a month, but there is no warranty on the product, so it’s a waste of money.
PondKeeper : The price the quality and quantity is great with limitations.
These bags are the visual equivalent of those sold by the major company that does vacuum sealing. Except even if sealed properly they simply don't hold for more than a month. You get at least three or four times as many as you get for half the price plus you got a small hand-held pump which would be great camping. , we purchase the rechargable food sealer handheld for under $30 because after doing 12 bags of pre prepped meals. BUT IF 2 TO 4 WEEKS IS GOOD FOR YOU BUY THEM
They are reusable. Just not long-term freezer storage
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.
Laurie Stribling : I didn't have much luck
I had taken corn off the cob to freeze and tried this little device but I didn't have much luck. Ended up us my FoodSaver tool
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
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.
bambi : good value
like to use these for dry and wet foods. keeps the frost off of meats
Amazon Customer : easy to use
i have had 2 strokes only have the use of my right hand, they are easier enough that i have no problem using them
David G. Deutsch : THE WATER BATH METHOD IS BETTER, BUT THIS WORKS PERFECTLY WITH IT!!!!!
This works well enough, especially for removing air from bags that are mostly flat (i.e. containing, sauces, soups, flat cakes). I use this device, and then get a perfect air removal job with the water bath method: After sucking the air out of the bag with this device, leave a tiny corner of the bag unzipped, submerge the sous vide bag (zip lock bag) slowly under water. As you push the bag deeper the water pressure pushes the air out of the bag. When you've submerged the bag completely (except for the unzipped corner), seal the unzipped corner of the bag and remove the bag from the water bath. You should have a "vacuum packed" looking sealed bag. The suction device + the water bath method make a perfect seal, as good as that of a FOODSAVER machine - and much easier and less expensive.
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?
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.
Gisela H Mitchell : Disappointed
Does not seal.
subrock : Superior to the Foodsaver bags, with a slight learning curve
In my opinion, these bags are superior to the foodsaver zip lock bags in construction. Closing the bag completely is easy, and the zipper portion of the bag is high quality, no hunting for the grooves to lock the bag. I haven't had to use the included tool to zip up these bags at all. The valve works well, but if you're used to the foodsaver bags there is slight learning curve.
The small flap of plastic that's punched into the valve isn't completely cut out, so your vacuum attachment of choice needs to break it before it starts removing all air from the bag. So, for my foodsaver attachment, the unit will rev up like the bag is devoid of air, and after a second or two it breaks that flap in the seal and works normally.
Amazon Customer : Piece of junk!
Unless you want to keep replacing the vacuum pump, don't buy this set. The first pump stopped working within the 30 day return window, so I got a replacement. Now the second pump stopped working and I'm a couple of weeks outside of the return time. The bags also loose air, so they're worthless half the time. Even though this item is inexpensive, it's not worth it.
MAJEC1 : Works on Cuisinart Hendhelds.
I had looked gard to find bags for CUISINART HANDHELD RECHARGEABLE VSC SE LET BAGS.
THESE WorK just fine with the handheld unit. Tried all three sizes bags... .No troubles. IF TROUBLE RE-ALIGN NOZZLE AND TRY AGAIN. These take a few seconds extra to pop the center of blue dot seal before removing air. ????????
Micheline : Seal thigh my meats to keep it longer in the freezer
I like the way you can keep your meats longer in the freezer and you can use your bags for more then one time.
Barbara K. : Pretty good job
I bought these to go with my Cuisinart (bullet style) vacuum sealer. I so love the sealer itself but they quit making the bags. These bags are not quite as good as the ones that came with the sealer, but a close second.
W. Handy : Better than the brand name
I bought these Vicarko Vacuum Bags because the brand-name bags held their seal only about half the time, making them little more than expensive Ziplocks. These do much better; I haven’t had a seal fail yet. These bags are plenty sturdy - I find it easy to wash them and re-use them. They're *slightly* harder to use with the vacuum pump, but that may simply be that they're a little different in design, and I'm just getting used to them. They are by no means hard to use, just a tiny bit more finicky, maybe. I like these better than the brand-names.
mikef : Reuseable
After years using regular Vacuum Machine throw away bags and the cost - I was very pleased to find this new style. I love them !! Best part is that they are easy and though to clean, then reuse. Save money !! They also freeze well. You can use the machine canister attachment or one of the cheap [or included] hand vac's.
Art Collier : Lower cost alternative
These vacuum seal bags are much like Food Saver bags. They are some harder to pull a vacuum on than the name brand bags. It requires a little finesse to get bags to work pressing to hard or to lighly will not complete a good seal. Once tbe seal is established they work well evacuatuating the air.
Dana Helton : This is BEST MACHINE OUT THERE!!!
I have wasted sooooo much $ I don’t have on big vacuum sealer machines and always had to return them but this product is the BEST EVER & I highly recommend it to save $ and keep food a veryyyyy long time so nothing is wasted and I need that since I don’t have an income and my youngest son is veryyy disabled and sickly so I need every penny for him and all his necessities to survive daily in his life!!!!! The gallon size bags take a while to suction but just pick machine up and place down harder on a flat surface and it works great!!!! My favorite is the quart size bags and they never unseal in my fridge, freezer, or cabinet!!!!
Bella : Does NOT hold Suction
You get what you pay for. It started out as a real cool gaget but I quickly learned the product didn't seal well at all.
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!
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.
Kathy A : Works with cuisinart hand held sealer
I took a chance and purchased these because I couldn’t find the bags that go with my cuisinart hand held pistol sealer. They work perfectly, actually better than the ones that came with my sealer. Love the bigger size. Will definitely be purchasing more of these!
joshar : Love it
Works great. Love that it keeps my food fresh and works with other bags. It does not hold a seal on powered items like flour or powdered stevia. It sucks the fine particles into the suction sealer and then it looses air. It works great on everything else. It’s my favorite kitchen product.
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
mikef : Reuseable
After years using regular Vacuum Machine throw away bags and the cost - I was very pleased to find this new style. I love them !! Best part is that they are easy and though to clean, then reuse. Save money !! They also freeze well. You can use the machine canister attachment or one of the cheap [or included] hand vac's.
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!
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.
T.C. : One of the bags was broken.
Overall it is ok, not the best quality. One of the small bags was broken so that I can not vacuum. Disappointing! How can I return it when I have used a lot of bags until I found the one with a hole? I may look for another better brand next purchase.
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.
Laurie Stribling : I didn't have much luck
I had taken corn off the cob to freeze and tried this little device but I didn't have much luck. Ended up us my FoodSaver tool
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.
Pookezgrama : Durability
I buy meat in bulk/family packages, then divide them into smaller bags for the freezer. I was surprised the bags were larger than any of the others I've been using. But that's fine. gives me space for any larger pieces. The bags are heavy, strong and should last me a long time.
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.
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.
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.
Michael J. Tomaino : Dirty packing
Product was delivered in a filthy bag. Was coated in what appears to be lotion of some sort. Yuck!
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.
Amazon Customer : Zipper seal is a problem
Extremely difficult to seal. I tried and practiced with several bags - so much work. Even after I thought I'd sealed it - food was ruined in the sous vide. I'll stick with Food Saver.
Bella : Does NOT hold Suction
You get what you pay for. It started out as a real cool gaget but I quickly learned the product didn't seal well at all.
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
Tom : Great vacuum bags
First off, I'll say that the bags appear go be larger than advertised -- I'm estimating that they're roughly 50% larger than the quart bags from other brands that I've tried. That's not a complaint -- I can fit more in each bag, with no downsides that I can see.
Two things set these bags apart from the others I've tried:
1. It seems to be easier to get the zipper seal fully sealed!
2. Getting proper contact between the bag's valve and the hand vacuum device is also easier -- not so finicky.
K. Jones : Good value
I just got this in the mail today, but after charging for a bit I was able to vacuum seal several bags of freshly dehydrated veggies. It took me a little wiggling the device around at times, to get the right spot for suction, but that might just be because I haven't looked at the directions, yet. For the price, I'm happy with it. I have a food saver that takes up you much counter space, so I usually keep it in a cabinet and avoid using it. I hope this makes it easy to store foods and have less waste.
