Sounds great until you exhale in the straw.

in terms of bag life, you can keep re using them right?

yes they are reusable.

Re using old bags!!

not me !

 

[SavinaRed]

You can rinse them out and reuse them. I don't reuse them unless its the same thing going back into the bag. For instance if I have several fish fillets in one bag I might remove 2 of them and reseal the bag.

You guys are happy with Foodsaver? Years ago, I heard mixed reviews of bags not holding vacuum, etc. Perhaps they have improved?
