Hello! Thanks for reaching out to us. We will be more than happy to answer your question! The VS3130 has horizontal design. It is easy to clean and maintain due to more replaceable parts. This model does not need any adapter to work with zipper bags since it has retractable handheld sealer that may also work as a hose. The VS3130 has an additional sous vide mode that allows perfect vacuum sealing for this cooking method. We hope this information proves helpful, and if you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to us directly via https://www.foodsaver.com/support/contact-us or through LiveChat. We&rsquo;re available Monday&ndash;Friday, 9 a.m.&ndash;5 p.m. Eastern Time. Thank you! FoodSaver Consumer Care

Hello! The drip tray is surrounded by the lower gasket. You can remove it by holding both sides with two fingers and lifting. You may also start from the left side as it is easier.

<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="7146289">
Hello! The Seal will be effective with either clear side or textured side up. However, if the bag is curling (the end of the roll may do this), place the curled side down to allow for smooth and easy bag insertion. If you have any more questions, please reach out to us via https://www.foodsaver.com/support/contact-us or through LiveChat. We&rsquo;re available Mon.-Fri. 9am -5pm Eastern Time. Thank you!

Hello! In order to use wine stoppers with this unit, you have to remove the bottom reservoir of the handheld accessory - this will expose a tip of the hose, that can fit into the stopper.
