Are these bags reusable?

No. You install these into your vac. It fills with the debris and then you remove and toss. You still will have the filter on your vac. I find that I get less reduction in suction with the bags even though they are filled. Without the bags,the filter gets quickly filled and loss of suction.

No you can't, they have a special place to seal. They are extremely durable & I put things in a cheap baggie and then in the heavy duty re-seal bags from Waring, sounds counter-intuitive, but they wash out easier. I have yet to order additional bags. They wash out very well and last.

They are reuseable, like an ice cube tray. We just wash them & full them with the new pouches (we use disposable.pouches). They don't fit many - we're lucky to get 10-12 in there

They are reusable and seem very durable. I gently wash them in a sink of warm, soapy water and hang them on a clothes line to dry. I am very pleased with them.

I have never tried to reuse the bags, however I don't think that this would be a good idea, because of possible food contamination. I do not think that you can clean these type of bags as good as regular zip lock type bags! You can buy these bags in bulk, already cut and sealed on one end for approx. 2.5 cents each from Lemonhead kitchen supplies over at e-****y. I hope this helps you! This machine is FANTASTIC! I saw this same model and breand machine at Target for $79.99! Amazon offers a great saving! Thanks! I hope that I was able to help you!

The bags are reusable and do not need to be replaced. They are machine washable and very durable.

No, they cannot really be reused. You could try spraying them with water I guess to experiment but they are not made to be reused. I really think they were worth getting and did last a few months in the original jar of material I had them in, but they eventually dried out and became hard. I do live in a really dry climate thought, so take that into consideration as well.

No, just reseal the bag so they don't dry out. I have had some that were good after several months.

Yes. I usually cut them a little large so I can reuse the bag later. Or if you are using precut bags you can reuse the bags for smaller items. Just be sure and cut as close to the seal line as possible when opening things you've sealed up.

No they are made for one use. Once you use the bag and open it, the heat and steam warp the bag making it difficult to reuse. Up side: less clean-up especially if you're cooking things other than steamed veggies.

Really they are a little thicker than a garbage bag. I wouldn't call them reusable if that helps.

No. They come with a filled bag inside and are not meant to be taken apart or reused. They do last quite some time and are small and discrete.

They are one time use, disposable. I wouldn't just use them as storage bags , they are intended to be used with the system.

When I bought these bags before it said they were. Sorry,I don't recall in the packaging this time if it said that they were.

Yes, they are reusable. You can rinse them after each use, they are not dishwasher safe.

I have only had one bag not work at all, all the others sealed perfectly & did not leak if you carefully zipped them tight. They are not reusable no matter what they claim

They are not designed to be reused. They are meant to be one-time-use and disposed of. You can clean them out if you want... But I would not. There is no real way to effectively dry them out due to the small opening. When we used them we just threw them away and it was still cheeper than the store bought ones. I hope that this helps.
