I suppose at the end of the day, what I am looking for is a reasonable unit that has inexpensive bags. 50 cents a bag is not what I would call inexpensive, and is about the price I am seeing from most suppliers. Something around 25 cents would be more in keeping with what I think is reasonable for a plastic bag.
The units do seem like they can all take the standard rolls, but because Sunbeam have ribbed, I have reservations about buying bags or rolls that are not recommended, because if they do not work properly, I will blow my money. Otherwise one of these 25kg rolls for $170.00 sounds really cheap. Though even that is a guess as it is measured in weight rather than length, so cannot calculate the effective cost per bag.
Phil, I still don't get why you are asking after some of the rolls, as they are not ribbed. Are you saying that you do not actually have to use ribbed bags in the Sunbeams? Can you use any bag in any machine? If this is a yes, then everything gets a lot clearer.
