I purchased one of these this lunch-time from the local shop. I asked about replacement rolls and was told that Tschibo did not stock them but ordinary freezer bags worked fine. I was a little sceptical but from what Jen says they were right. I hope so as the rolls that are supplied are just folded plastic and require sealing on two sides to make the bag before vacuum sealing. Not too much of a problem except it limits the depth of the bag, with their plastic, to the width if the machine. However with a Lidl or a Tesco bag longer bags could be used.
A thought
I've seen rolls of 'tube' plastic for sale (for freezing fish) which would allow an infinite length to the bag!
I will experiment once I get home this evening.

PS I looked on e-bay and very similar models were being offereds between �27.99 and 29.99, which makes Tschibo's �14.99 excelent value, it also has a 14 day return period if not satisfied and a three year warranty.
