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.

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"
Julie V : More for your dollar!
So far these work great!! Great price for the quantity compared to the brand name!
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
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.
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
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 ????
Candro : Frustrating to Use
Sometimes it works, sometimes doesn't. You need to play with it to find the spot where it will suction air out of the bag. Frustrating.
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.
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.
Rice : Great Price
I was not sure they would work with the FoodSaver hand vac but they do!
Staze Craze : Great quality and value!

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.

Michael J. Jackson : Good for home use.
Product works fine as long as you don’t have a lot of meat/produce to do at a time. The suction/seal button stopped functioning after using it about a dozen times and I had to use the individual suction and seal buttons. It still works, but I would have thought it would have lasted longer. It came with seal pouches and a roll which was great, but you always use more than you think so you should order extra rolls!
Do I recommend this product, yes it’s good for home use.
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.
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.
Montana Girl : Works great with Reynold's handi-vac
So far, everyone one of these bags that I have used has sealed properly, and I have not had any air leaks yet. I use this with my old Reynolds vac. Time will tell, but this the best of the several different kinds I have tried over the last few years. I will order more.
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
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.
WorldGypsy : Great for refrigerated stuff you use on a regular basis
I only buy a few of these at a time. It's good for things like block cheese when you only use a little at a time.
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.

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.
Shopper in New Castle : Good little device
Neat little device, takes a bit of a knack to use. But once you get the hang of it, it does a great job sucking all the air out of the bag.
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.

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.
NanaJP : works with my hand held Food Saver Vacuum Sealer
I do like these zip sealing bags. The seal is very good, and a bit tough for my arthritic hands, but the handy-dandy zip device they include helps tremendously. The valve works perfectly with my hand held Food Saver Vacuum Sealer, and the bags are thick and freeze and reuse very well. So much more economical than the Food Saver brand too.
sweetpea : Would not recommend
I wanted to love these for chopped lettuce and veggies. I find them hard to use and they don't hold vacuum seal for more than a day or so.
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!!!!
John d : Fantastic product
It took a little while (5 tries) to find the proper alignment to seal the bag, but after I got used to the product I LOVE IT. I used it to seal my dog pill pockets right now. I can easily see using it for marinating meat. This product rocks.
WilJay : I Love this gadget!!!!
I sealed my celery, my tomatoes and avocado, and put them in the refrigerator, and they feel and look like I just bought them. This is a great sealer, I just wish they would offer containers so we could save leftover spaghetti sauce, and other leftovers. It gets the job done so quickly, and the price is very reasonable for all you get. I'm really enjoying this product.
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.
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.
Steph : Doesn’t seem to make an airtight seal
I really wanted to like this product. The little suction machine was cool and worked at vacuum sealing the bags and the assortment works generally well for our household needs. I just have 2 issues.
The first is it’s a bit hard to zip up the bag. Definitely harder than a typical ziplock bag. This is a bit of an annoyance but something I can live with.
The second is that the bag is not air/water tight. I can suck out the air and the next day, it will have re-inflated. This makes it useless as a way to vacuum seal food for extended storage, and I can’t use it to sous vide. Which was the original purpose of getting this.
Will test a little more to see if it’s just one bag that can’t seal, otherwise I may have to return the set. 2 stars was bc I really liked the nifty suction machine.
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.
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
Michael J. Jackson : Good for home use.
Product works fine as long as you don’t have a lot of meat/produce to do at a time. The suction/seal button stopped functioning after using it about a dozen times and I had to use the individual suction and seal buttons. It still works, but I would have thought it would have lasted longer. It came with seal pouches and a roll which was great, but you always use more than you think so you should order extra rolls!
Do I recommend this product, yes it’s good for home use.
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.
CKW : They do NOT work with food save hand held.
I read that they were usable with most vacuum sealer products, so I bought 2 sets. They do NOT work at all with the food saver hand held. VERY disappointing! I should have read all of the reviews before purchasing. I will be sending back the set that I did not open, but I guess I'm stuck with 30 bags. I guess I'll use them one time like regular bags then throw them out...expensive option.
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.
Ode Fot : Sealer and bags
Excellent price and a nice supply of thick sealing bags. I think I got a deal!
Only have had it a short time but it seems to be a great purchase. I hope it lasts.
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!!!!
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.

t : Do not hold seal for very long
Really had high hopes for these but only about 20% of the bags maintain their seal after a few hours. So disappointed. I really very carefully endure nothing gets on the zipper track plus I very diligent close the zipper, go over it again and again to ensure seal. I pump it and suck air out ok BUT the seal doesn’t hold for more than a few hours in most of the bags. Very frustrating. Even the extra self adhesive “ports” don’t help.
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.

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.
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).
