G'day Melinda,

It's separate - check out our review video where we run through the cutter, from the 12:30 mark.
Hope that helps.

I can't see any reason why you couldn't, Tony.
I'd say as long as the bags brand is designed for use with portable or smaller home vac sealers you should be fine.
It'd potentially only be an issue if using heavier grade, more commercial quality bags.

G'day Graeme,

Campfire have advised this should be a universal fit, although I'm not well versed on vaccume sealing cannisters, so I can't say for sure.
We've measured the end of the hose attachment, if has a single male pin that is 5mm in diameter.

Hope that helps!

Campfire and Companion are sub brands of OZtrail now, Steven, but the products are largely made overseas. If other sealer bags are the right dimensions then they should be fine.

I think the product is good value for money, we've had good feedback, and this model and it's predecessor have been part of our range for some time now. I can't make a direct comparison to Kickass though, I dont have any experience with that product sorry.

G'day Adrian,

Yes, absolutely.  There is a seal only button function on the unit, which allows you to see open-ended rolls & customise your bag size.

G'day Stephan,

Unfortunately, we don't have any further information on this one, as it's literally a brand new model and we've only just got in through the door this week.
The only thing we really have to go off is customer feedback. The previous Companion model had a 5 star review sweep, whereas the Dometic has mixed reviews with the most common feedback that it can be quite temperamental.
Even though we are yet to receive feedback on this new Companion, there's no reason to suggest it won't be as great as the previous version.
