ziplock v203 serie losing vacuum

I got the sealer in gift and lots of bags now lose vacuum after 1-2 days in the freezer.Should i get the foodsaver or iam just using it wrong ?!
 
Where does zip lock come into play? Zip lock is a self sealing bag designed to keep food in but not in a vacuum enviroment. If you are attempting to use zip lock bags with a vacuum sealer, that is your problem. Sealers have special bags and or bulk material for their use.
 
i'd return it and get the foodsaver !  i've had one since they first came out on Q.V.C.  probably had about 5-6 lose vacuum , out of hundreds .      :onfire:

This is a vacuum sealer from ziplock .
Understood. had to be sure cause someone out there would try that.
I have a Weston and vac packed two whole whitetails last year. No issues at all.
 
We have the fm 2000,2100,2400,3200,3800,4400 and 4800,what should i get considerong they all in the same price range aproximately and i will use it mostly for pepper.

Is the fm 2000 fine or cheap entry level?
 
They are the #series from foodsaver i just got me a 2490 from the 2400 series i will keep you updated how it goes.
