Yep, I do. Most folks on here do not apparently freeze much ??? Got an upright freezer at my place full of different cuts of chicken, beef, baby backs, veggies,,, and as much ice as it will hold to keep it from running all the time.
I have 2 counter-top small vacuum units. One unit started failing, because it would not hold the vacuum after I sealed a product. I went back to read the directions,, duh,,,,. They both use either 8 inch or 11 inch bag rolls. The problem was me.
The very top of the freezer bag,, the part that is heated by the seal-strip must be COMPLETELY DRY before applying vacuum. If not, it will leak. Use a paper towel to wipe dry both surfaces of the bag before applying vacuum. If you are drawing liquid up from the product to the seal before vacuum, either dry the product more or make a longer bag.
