" ... BAGS DONT SEAL. ... "
" ... I ordered the set of 3 strip loin bag. ... This has small bags for aging. ... "
" ... The entire kit went into the garbage after trying on three bags. ... "
" ... You're better off putting it in a hefty cinch sack garbage bag and leaving it to fate. ... At $10.00 a bag, there are other ways less aggravating and less costly than this. ... "
" ... I would suggest checking your bag for holes , however, don’t think this item is returnable so will only help you not waste your time! ... "
" ... Bags would not seal. ... At $11 per bag (non-refundable) this is not worth it. ... "
" ... I don't like that the bags are so thin. ... "
" ... Ordered 3 bags for $35 ... NONE OF THE BAGS SEALED CORRECTLY ... These bags are worthless. ... "

" ... I love the flavor of the finished product I dry aged a strip loin for 28 days and then dry aged a standing rib roast for 35 the flavor was outstanding on the rib roast I had a little trouble with the strip loin with the bag not keeping contact with the meat I think it was due to the excess amount of meat fluids getting pulled up into the sealing area during the vacuum process so the bag never had a good seal ... "
" ... I received my UMAi Dry® Ribeye/Striploin Packet yesterday. ... "
" ... So easy to dry age. ... "
" ... I had the best steaks I have ever made doing a 28 day dry age on a choice cut ribeye. ... "

" ... I should have just used another bag as the first one I used was not sealing. ... "
" ... The plastic is very thin compared to what is advertised online. ... "
" ... In opening the package I found one bag already had a hole in it and couldn't be used. ... The bags seem to be far too fragile ... "
" ... Before you spend $30.00 on a plastic bag . ... "
" ... I don't like that the bags are so thin. ... "
" ... I was disappointed it came with a small amount of the airlock material. ... "
" ... Used other two bags trying to seal another whole boneless ribeye. ... "
" ... Very hard to seal - I ended up wasting 2 bags before I was able to seal the 3rd bag ... "

" ... Don’t even bother trying to use a vacuum sealer with these, it just doesn’t work at all like it indicates in the included instructions. ... "
" ... These are not vacuum seal bags. ... The vacuum sealer kept burning through the bags. ... "
" ... Unfortunately, nobody tells you these things don't seal with a vacmaster/vac chamber. ... "
" ... Bags are wider than most vacuum sealers so a little hard to figure out. ... "
" ... The bags are terrible quality, also you need an specific vacuum seal machine so the bag does not break. ... "
" ... I was excited to use this product finally, but when I tried to suck out the air using the vacuum machine, it would not suck out the air. ... I was wondering why it wouldn't work but finally found out you needed a breather strip to make it work with the vacuum machine. ... "
" ... Would not work with my automatic vacuum sealer. ... I ruined 3 bags trying to get vacuum pulled. ... "
" ... After 20 minutes of trying to manipulate the bag and stressing the hell out of my vacuum sealer I’m just pissed off at this point. ... "

" ... Have parchment paper to place over any sharp edges of bone as these bags tear very easily. ... "
" ... Bag would just keep tearing while sealing the "needed corner pocket" absolutely not worth your money, better off buying a small dedicated fridge that you wouldn't need this for at all. ... "
" ... I would suggest checking your bag for holes , however, don’t think this item is returnable so will only help you not waste your time! ... "

" ... The bags do not hold a vacuum or seal correctly with a normal vac-sealer. ... My vacuum sealer works great with every other bag I’ve tried, but there’s something about the umai bags that won’t allow them to hold a seal. ... "

Now i'll test again, but with another cheap cut (probably a round roast) just encase. ... because i don't know if the last one was a fluke due to the cut, a result of my frig being used so much did have an effect, or was perfectly normal. ...
