Lidl is going to have a Bifinett Vacuum Bag Sealer at £9.99. Does anyone
have experience of this machine?


Regards and thanks in advance

If it's anything like the ones they have on the shopping channels it'll be a
good toy, but I didn't notice any bags for it for sale. IIRC they have to be
a special kind.

I only used it twice, I have no idea where to buy spare bags. As you can
probably guess I didnt think much of it.

lidle sandwich bags and they seal ok use it daily to seal sandwich bags also

Can you get bags big enough for small unruly children - I've often thought
about using space saver bags for the same thing (you know the ones, you zip
up one end and suck out the air using a vacuum cleaner). Could also be a
good way of keeping a dead grandparent fresh if they die over the weekend.

Why do bad things always happen on the weekend when everything is closed?

I purchased this item a few weeks ago. It sucks alright but not how it's
supposed to. I cant find where to get replacement bags for it but not that
i need them any more anyway as the thing is caput already. the vacuum pump
has stopped working. but when it did work, When I used sandwich bags it
sucked the air out but 9 times out of 10 it got back in again.

If it's only a few weeks old, and you purchased it from a store vs. a
private party, it should still be under warranty. Contact Tilia about
it. Can't find bags? Search using Google.com and the words "bags +
Tilia" (without the quotation marks. That search combination yielded
25,500 hits, at least some of which are appropriate to your need. Good
luck on your quest!

Don't think they are designed for sandwich bags. They depend on one side
having eiged sides. If you live near a Sears store, you can get bags there.
Or if you are a member of one of the wharehouse stores like Sam's or BJ's
check if they have any.

Again you need special bags to work the vaccum sealers.
