## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use a Sealer Cap for a Jar on it?**
A: To reiterate what davlaw said, the bag sealing lid on the Nesco VS-02 must be shut on both left and right sides in order for the vacuum sealer tube and attachment jars/lids to work. I have lots of vacuum canisters & tubes from other brands of sealers. I could not get them to seal until I read davlaw's answer - close the bag sealing lid. This Nesco VS-02 is quite good for the price. Nesco's dehydrators are also very good. I have the Nesco Professional model FD-75A.

**Q: Is the plastic bagging material BPA free?**
A: All the bagging material sold by Nesco is BPA Free

**Q: How does this unit work with standard ziplock bags?**
A: According to my wife, you can probably seal a ziploc bag with the unit (although it's also possible that you'll create a melted mess), but you cannot use the unit to evacuate the air from the ziploc bag. Why would you want to do this anyway? Ziploc bags are already easy to seal and they cost more (I believe) than the bag rolls.

**Q: Is this better than the Foodsaver brand?**
A: Both have positives, I find this one easier to use and to have less hangups.  The Foodsaver cost so much more and when it breaks Foodsaver says buy another.  MY first experience with the Nesco, it did not seal perfectly.  I found that setting it to extended seal time makes for perfect seals every time.  On performance I actually like this Nesco better, especially the price.  Oh, I had just ordered the 11 inch rolls for my foodsaver just before it died.  Those work just as well in the Nesco as did the roll that comes with the Nesco, but the one that comes with it is I believe 8 inches.  The foodsaver is narrow and tall, this one is squat and wider.  The Nesco actually fits better in my kitchen as I have it on an Island, so being squat there is better.  I had one of the most expensive Foodsaver's and was quite disgusted with their attitude when it broke, plus it wasn't very old when the heater strip quit sealing.
