Oops, sorry, it's Pump 'n' Seal. Here's a link to their 
website--http://www.pump-n-seal.com/

I bought both the pump 'n' seal device itself and the additional 
metal plates that allow you to pull a vacuum on a china or glass 
bowl, to keep salads fresh. Both work very well, and I can recommend 
them unconditionally. As I said, the only problem with using plastic 
bags is that the procedure is a but fussy (you have to put a line of 
vegetable oil along the lip of the bag to hold the seal while you 
vacuum out the air--it works, but it's not as easy and quick as using 
mason jars).
