Zonegrace Sous Vide Bags 45 Reusable Vacuum Food Storage Bags for Anova and Joule Cookers - 3 sizes Sous Vide Bag Kit with Pump - 4 Sealing Clips for Food Storage and Sous Vide Cooking

I don't know why some people complain, it's really easy to use but works better when over a slightly softer surface, or if you were to put a towel over the counter instead of placing the bag on it's bare surface. And what impressed me the most was the suction power for such a tiny tool, it can go to the point where it squeezes the juices out of certain fruits. well obviously you wouldn't go as far but I did my own little experiment. Another thing that was beyond my expectations was how durable and solid the bags were, and the nice pattern inside for extra grip is a nice tough. I stumbled upon this product while looking for a sealer mechanical device, but at 1/3 of the cost I thought to give this a try, needles to say I don't need to spend extra for a big inconvenient sealer, this will do just fine, buy with confidence.

EDIT: Seller reached out and offered a refund for the product. Appreciate the customer support on part of the seller, might give it a try again down the line.The bag doesn’t seem to work at all. Decided to try this on some salmon. Followed the instructions and didn’t fill it passed the marked line, vacuumed it with the included pump. I checked on my salmon after few mins and found the bag partially full of water. I thought at first it was water displaced from the salmon during cooking but the water level seemed pretty high.So I tried it with another bag and put in a dry item(dry beans) and put it in the sous vide. After few mins there was water inside.I immediately swapped all the salmon bags to other ones(there were 4 bags of it). And after few mins they did the same. So either I have incredibly bad luck and got about 10 defective bags or the product doesn’t seal well at all.Had to resort to the old water displacement method with zip loc bags and tried to salvage what I could.

Happy with these bags overall. It’s a nice set of sizes, and once I get them zipped shut the pump works well and they hold the vacuum very well in fridge or freezer. The zip lock is a little tricky, not sure if any similar bags would zip shut without having to run the white clip over the seal a couple of times? Also these don’t feel like silicone, but at least they do claim to be PCB free and food safe. I love that they are reusable and come with a little hand pump that requires no batteries and takes up very little space in my drawer.Note to manufacturer: please add this instruction to your description and in the box: “Do not submerge air valve in water.” I saw that on another set of bags’ description and it explained why they came with the 4 green clips and why water got into them when I used them for Sous vide cooking! If I use one of the larger bags and the green clips, I can easily avoid that issue now that I know about it.

The valve in these isn't that great. Within 1 week of sealing food the air leaked back into them. I used the tool that came with it to seal the bags but you can listen to some and hear the air leaking at the vac valve. So far about 1/3rd of the bags I have used works properly.

We use this in several ways: storing dried goods, freezer bag for meats, refrigerate leftovers, and marinate meats.We don't have sous vide, so I only care about its function to vacuum pack.The price is good considering quantity. The bags aren't too difficult to clean, as you can turn them inside out to wash out oils, etc.The only problem is that some bags are inconsistent when it comes to maintaining vacuum seal. Few bags simply don't work at all, or some bag work some of the time.In the end, I am happy with the purchase considering its cost and the fact that it creates space while helping reduce waste.

The bags are heavy duty, the same thickness as the foodsave brand, and they have a double zipper to prevent leakage. The haand pump creates a good vacuum and the clips are a nice little bonus. After using about half of the bags I found out that some of them leak at the Port for the pump. They still work well but you have to keep the port out of the water to prevent your bag from filling with water.

With all the similar type products out there; took a chance on this one. So glad I did. It’s true to the description; seals the food and keeps it fresh. The amount of bags and various sizes you get, is fantastic. I reuse the bags over and over.

I love using re-sealable vacuum storage bags. I had an initial pack of FoodSaver re-sealable bags that I liked, but could not find them priced economically. I tried these Sous Vide bags from Zonegrace and I am impressed. First thing - using the hand pump. I thought the FoodSaver machine was great, but the hand pump is tremendously easier to use and far more effective. It evacuates the air more quickly. If it sucks in any liquids, it is a snap to clean up. The FoodSaver requires pulling out the machine, plugging it in, getting the accessory device on the spot. Way too much trouble that the Zonegrace eliminates. My only quibble is whether or not the bags retain their seal for a long (48 hr) Sous Vide. I had a mishap with a smoked brisket that went 48 hr and I got a lot of liquid by the end. That could have been just too long of a water bath time.I will have to run the experiment again. Otherwise - convenience of use and great price makes this a no-brainer decision to use every day.
