Is 8" the actual heating surface length or the length of the entire machine? I have 6" bags to seal :) Thank you

I own the 8 inch sealer and love it. The heating strip is actually an 8 inch strip. I use mine for 6 inch bags. It's a good investment

It will seal an 8" bag. That's the length of the heating element. Mine works well and came with extra wires and teflon tape. Hope that helps.

It is only 8 inches by the edges or ends, and 8 and half inches at drain !, but its works fine , no problem !.

I have had my V448 for quite some time. After cutting bag to desired length, notice a natural curve to bag. Place bag into slot with natural curve down. Ensure after placing item to be vacuum sealed, you have approximate 4" of head space. Again, place into vacuum sealer with natural curve down. You say that the largest bag width is 10". It sounds as if you are using off brand bags. Foodsaver bags have one side "quilted". This quilted side allows grooves for air to be vacuumed out before sealing. Hope this helps.

Mine was definitely 8 foot long. In fact I cut some off and it is still eight feet long.

Well, not really a question was it? More like a rant... I really like mine, and it works very, very well all of the time. Yours sounds like it might be defective and you should call the company. And I haven't yet seen a machine that will take a 10 foot wide bag, so I guess you meant 10". I have had it take a group of three chicken tenders and seal a bag only four inches long and that includes the sealed ends. So it sounds like you got a bad one. And sit down with a glass of wine and take a deep breath and try it again! Good Luck!

My bags measured 8" by 14" and do fit my canister machine, however, the first set of bags I ordered said they fit but were marked wrong and were for an upright. I sent them back and ordered a different set of 9 bags from Envirocare Technologies thru Amazon and they were correct. The first ones were a set of 15 generic Kenmore bags but they were definitely marked wrong. Hope this helps.

Hi! The 8" refers to the handle. The actual stainless steel peel measures 12" long by 8" wide. The handle is re-moveable, but the total overall length of this item (including the handle is just over 21")

They are on the 8 inch end so your 11 inch sealing strip will gave no problem sealing them and these bags work great on my food saver deluxe sealer

Not sure if its 8' exactly but that sounds right. Maybe 2' refers to its collapsed state. It's an accordion hose so it can extend and compress. Fully extended is about 8'.

The heating pad is 3 3/8" but it has a bevel on the edge so I would say use 3 1/4" to be sure your cup fits.

It is 6 & 5/8ths inches. BTW, it DOES NOT fit the 2 qt pan that I bought it for. I don't know why it is described as fitting both the 2 qt and 3 qt sized pans. I still have not found a lid to fit.

go to amozon look up the item, the detailed description has all the dimensions. It's 8"

I haven't measured but I would think the difference would be minimal. We had trouble with these bags not holding a vacuum after we sealed them. I wasn't too impressed.

Just measured it with my trusty tape measure. 4 and 3/4 inches long and 1 inch in diameter.And you are right it is NOT 8.9 inches long as stated on the Amazon site.

It is 8" across the top opening. It is about 6" at the bottom. I just picked up the copper core version of this pan as a second from All-Clad and I love it.

I am not sure but think 8 in.I returned mine as It warped on the first heat up. May be ok if you have gas.
