I bought mine from another source & my 1st time buying, is it normal for the bag to have 4 pin holes near the tear off part? I'll buy here next time &

I have just checked the packages bought at the store and noticed that they also have the pin holes... I guess also the one my kitties are eating now had them, but the grass is ok.

I did not notice any pin holes in mine but it took a little longer to grow but came in lush and strong. Cats really did enjoy it for a longer time.

Yes I've had a strap break at one of the holes. But the other side of the hole is still attached. It seems like another strap is getting close to breaking too. Not sure how to avoid this. I use it as a double bike rack the most so I've been moving the good straps to the main rack and the broken/weak ones to the supplemental 2 bike rack that I rarely use.

I had not used mine much when it got holes in it. Since I had it only short time contacted company and they sent me a replacement bag. They do sell replacement bags. The bags in my opinion are not of good quality, and when I used the new bag first time this week I think I may have figured out 1 reason it was short lived. Even though I was vacuuming leaves, some pine straw drifts in from nearby trees. When I went to clean the bag, pieces of pine needles were stuck into the material. The book says bag capacity is 14 gallons. It's not a really big bag. At one time I had a gas powered chipper shredder and its bag appeared to be of nylon and was heavy duty, lasted through years of use. Whatever material this bag is made of is not as durable.

My tin wasn't sealed but I think the plastic bag might have had twist tie? I can't remember but it wasn't sealed tight by any means. The scoop was way down in there. I thought mine was missing too but after some digging, I found it.

Using pins leaves small holes just like it does with any foam blocking mats. They should be able to be used many, many times before needing replaced. I've used mine quite a bit and I don't really notice where the hole from previous uses are.

Mine came with one of those little tags that said something about a limited lifetime manufacturer's warranty. I have since lost it, but the bag seems of decent quality. It should last a good while, if not a whole lifetime.

I just looked at mine, and I don't see any of the packaging. Look at the description of it from where you bought it. I've only used mine a couple of times. Guess it's best to not tighten the threads too much!

I'm pretty sure that is just for the pic. I bought the 22lb bag a couple months ago and they are great! I recommend using a vacuum bag sealer and then throwing them in the fridge to keep em good. As a whole, they are great. Every so often I get one that is dried out, but I don't believe hat has anything to do with expiration. When I run out I will buy more

The bag has a 1 year warranty. If you're still in the warranty period contact ever last to see how to get a replacement. If not, I'd just suck it up and get a new one. The entire set is 58 bucks on Wal-Mart's website

No I did not have that problem. If it is just a hole, it should be OK. I order this stuff all the time with no problems.

I have not had a problem with them and I received my initial order a couple of months ago. One bag did break, but it was due to my own stupidity and I piled a bunch of heavy stuff on top of a sealed bag stuffed full of coleslaw (overstuffed). I would purchase again.

If your bags are losing pressure, there must be a pin hole in the bags, that's why the bags doen't seal properly. If there is any type of liquid, this can happen. I noticed this , so I bought the bags with the liquid absorbing pad attached to them. Hope this helps.

I just received my bag yesterday... I agree that the bag is very roomy with several compartments and completely disagree with the poor quality comment. Nothing poor about it - no strings dangling and "ALL" the zippers work fine. It's a GOOD bag but that's my opinion.

I had an issue with it coming apart at the seams. I emailed them pictures of the damage and a copy of the receipt and they shipped a new bag to me at their cost to Afghanistan with no problems. I just need to update my review of the bag that said the issues I had.

I've never had a problem with these bags. They are easy to tear apart and I haven't had any problems with them splitting when I open them. Where the bags are connected, only the two ends of the bag are attached and perforated. The middle third is already cut away from the next bag on the roll. This seems to make them easy to tear apart.

It has been several months since I ordered the unit and don't recall a pin (my husband may have taken it out), however, I looked at my unit and there is a pinhole on the underside of the orange vacuum plug on the lid. Perhaps the other reviewer was referring to something that may have been there (to keep the unit sterile or airtight in the package or shipping). Otherwise I suggest you email or call the manufacturer for more specifics. We have been very pleased with the unit and it perfectly holds 1 lb. of beans.

I just got these a couple weeks ago and there were no holes. Perhaps there is a regional variance or it is depending on who is selling them. But I'd go into it assuming they are sans holeage.
