Does the Seal-A-Meal Vacuum Sealer comes with bags
It comes with four bags, which we really don't feel is enough to call it a starter kit, you are going to need to order your own Vacuum Sealer Bags.
Does the Seal-A-Meal Vacuum Sealer have a bag cutter
No there is no bag cutter and no on-board bag storage with this model.
Can this vacuum sealer seal baked goods
This model doesn't come with a pulse mode, so if you use delicate items like baked goods you are going to have to manually hit the seal button before the food crushes.
Can I use any brand of vacuum sealer bags
Different manufacturers have their vacuum sealers seal at different temperatures, so you should always use bags the vendor says are compatible.

Featured Seal-A-Meal Product Review
Seal-A-Meal 11"x9ft Vacuum Sealer Bag Roll (2 Rolls)
Seal-A-Meal Vacuum Sealer Bags and rolls will only work in Seal-A-Meal vacuum sealers, they also are expensive compared to other brands, we think OutOfAir Vacuum Sealer Bags make a much better choice.
