Questions about FoodSaver Regular Sealer and Accessory Hose Wide-Mouth Jar Kit, 9.00 x 6.00 x 4.90 Inches, White
Q:
Do these stay attached to the jsr you seal, or do they create a seal on the standard metal jar lid?
Answer: they create a seal on the standard (and large mouth) jar with the metal lid. See this video for more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsUl8WJ9ztI
Answer: The FoodSaver Jar Sealer creates a seal using the standard metal mason jar lid.
Answer: They are used to create a seal on jars.
Answer: Have not used mine yet, but here is a demo vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsUl8WJ9ztI
Q:
will this work on the nesco vs-02 food vacuum sealing system?
Answer: This accessories are designed to work with FoodSaver vacuum sealing systems. For further assistance with your questions, we would recommend you reach out Nesco customer service. Thank you for your interest in our products!
Answer: Yes, it works perfectly on the nesco vs-02. Fits right into the port on the top. I have done several quart wide mouth jars. It seals tight.
Answer: NO, it does not fit at all. I tried everything.
Q:
Does this create a vacuum within the jar itself, ie extracts the air inside the jar when sealing with a metal lid? Looking to marinate food items.
Answer: FoodSaver Jar Sealers vacuum seal standard Mason-type jar lids onto the jar to lock out air - the enemy of freshness. Not to be used for canning.
Answer: It does create a vacuum seal in the jar. For marinating food items, do a search on Amazon for "Food Saver Marinating Accessory." It's a dish with a vacuum lid for marinating items. As always, when handling items not being stored long-term, be sure to maintain proper refrigeration.
Answer: Yes. It holds the lid in position while the vacuum pump in thr food saver evacuate the air from the jar.
Answer: It does creat a vacuum inside the jar
Answer: Yes, it takes all the air out. They work well with the hand held vacuuum sealer.
Answer: Better to use bag or their containers
Q:
Does this work onn gallon mason jars?
Answer: As far as my experience goes, it all depends on the LID AND RING. If it is a "Regular" Ball lid and ring or a "Wide Mouth" Ball lid or ring it will work regardless of the size jar it is screwed on to. As long as those 2 sized lids & rings are used.....it should seal fine.
Answer: The largest I've used are the 64 oz jars and it works great.
Answer: As long as the lid fits into the cap.
Answer: It did for me.
Q:
When canning you need to sterilize the jar. Do you need to do the same for this process?
Answer: I always start with a sterile jar. I run them through the dishwasher. As always the key is to prevent bacteria growth.
Answer: Yes. The jars need to be sterilized. BUT, they also need to be 100% DRY. Moisture when vacuum packing will spoil product.
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: I do quite a bit of canning, but would not recommend this method for long term. I use it for keeping things from going stale and marinating.
Q:
How can I reseal a screw on sauce jar that you buy in the store
Answer: Thank you for asking! FoodSaver Jar Sealers can only accommodate Ball & Kerr Mason jars and require a full size FoodSaver to utilize them.
Answer: yes you can. look on you tube to se how. you will need the large food saver canister do do it but it really does work,
Q:
Do these seal jars just as well as pressure cooking does?
Answer: No. Definitely not. Canning things heats them to sterilize the contents of the jar and seal them so no toxins can re-enter. These sealers only seal the jar, not sterilize the contents. The contents would still spoil and very well could become deadly.
Answer: These jar sealers work perfect with mason jars, providing an air tight seal and extending the life of the food up to 5 times longer! Thanks!
Answer: The seal might be as strong as pressure cooking, but Pressure cooking involves heat, which is important for safely canning low-acid foods, so I wouldn't use this for anything like meats, beans, etc.
Q:
Do you have to use the plastic lid or do you still use the metal lid that comes with the mason jar?
Answer: You would use the flat metal lid and the jar sealer on top of the lid to seal the jars. Once the jar is sealed, you will remove the jar sealer.
Answer: I use the metal lid that comes with the jar. After vacuum sealing, I screw on the Metal band. I have been satisfied with the seal, and believe it would last for several seasons. I only use this procedure for dehydrated or freeze-dried foods.
Answer: The metal lid thank comes with the jar
Answer: I use the metal lids that come with the Ball mason jars
Answer: Use mason jar lids. Rings are not necessary.
Answer: Apparently you use the metal lid and band put the plastic suction On the top and attach it to your food saver and vacuum it’s not going to be A permanent seal like he would have if you hit canned but it is good for refrigeration and for non-refrigerated dried foods such as dehydrated or freeze dried foods to extend their shelf life
Answer: Sorry for the delay seals both metal lids both sizes very well!!!
Answer: I only use metal.
Q:
Is this a replacement for boiling???? So,they last for very long time? I'm confused
Answer: No, not a replacement for boiling water canning. I use them for refrigerator pickles to keep them sealed until they are ready, but you still need to refrigerate whatever you use them for.
Answer: Absolutely not. Water bath canning and pressure canning are the only way to preserve food over long periods that are perishable. However vacuum sealing dry goods: like flour, dehydrated pasta, dehydrated veggies, cereal, etc., will help prevent these items from going rancid for up to a year. Vacuum sealing perishable items for the freezer prevents freezer burn for up to 2 years depending on the item being frozen and reduces spoiling in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks maybe up to 5 weeks depending on the item.
Answer: I don't think its a replacement for hot water canning. I use mine after freeze drying food and then I pack it in ball mason jars with oxygen obsorbers.
Answer: it is for beans or rice flour sugar like dry ingredients you want to stay fresh longer and keep humidity out of coffee tea spices stuff like that
Answer: No. food's that need to be canned still do. This will not kill bacteria. It's more for dry goods.
Q:
Can you reseal commercial food jars, such as you buy a jar of pickles/sauce/ from the store and then reseal?
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: I don't think so. Only canning jars.
Answer: You can seal Ball and Kerr mason jars.
Answer: I can see no reason as to why they wouldn't seal. I personally DO NOT use those jars as they aren't made for repeated use (like canning jars) as the glass composition is different . You can buy used canning jars at Goodwill & St Vincent's for about a quarter or less each. I have seen too many of those "commercial" jars break during the canning process. When you vacuum seal you are putting about a 29" vacuum on that jar and any perfections (in the jar) can cause them to break and then you've just lost what it was you were trying to put up for later use. IMHO, not worth it. Hope this helps.
Answer: only if you have a canister for sealing...look at video on youtube
Q:
Will this work with a Weston Food Saver?
Answer: It depends. Not all Weston vacuum packaging systems have an accessory port. Those that have a port tend to not have the needed hose. The popular Pro 2100/2300 units do NOT have an accessory port.
Answer: I don't see a vacuum port on any Weston product, so probably not. Contact Weston for full specifications.
Answer: We recommend using a FoodSaver vacuum sealer as we have only tested the FoodSaver brand jar sealers with FoodSaver brand vacuum sealers.
Q:
Will this keep grapes fresh?
Answer: Great question! Vacuum sealing grapes in jars may compromise the texture. It may be a better idea to go with FoodSaver Fresh Containers with produce trays as they will allow you to keep the grapes away from the collecting moisture from condensation.
Answer: Anything you can fit in a mason will stay fresh. FoodSaver Fresh Containers may work a little better but are not cheap. unless you are trying to keep them fresh for months a sealed air free mason jar should do the trick
Q:
Do these work with standard mason jars and lids, or do I need something special?
Answer: Nothing special needed. I've used mine on Ball, Mason, and Better Homes home canning jars. All works great. There is a real good seal around the shoulder of the jar on all brands that I mentioned. Love this product!
Answer: Hey Jake!:)....they work with standard Mason Jars and lids.....no special equipment
Answer: The FoodSaver Jar Sealer is designed for Ball and Kerr brand wide-mouth and regular mason jars. Thanks!
Answer: Works with regular mouth and wide mouth jars.
Answer: yes they work only you have to have new home canning lids to make it work do not use used lids as they come lose.
Q:
can the sealed mason jars go in the freezer
Answer: Yes, mason jars are safe to freeze
Answer: Sure- it can go into freezer after vacuuming sealing.
Answer: yes
Q:
I'm wanting to juice at night....will this work to keep it fresh say over night?
Answer: If it's just overnight why wouldn't it stay fresh in a sealed container? I wouldn't worry about it. ;)
Answer: The FoodSaver Jar Sealers are perfect for this! Be sure to leave at least an inch between the top of your contents and the metal lid of your Mason jar so that the liquid does not compromise the seal.
Answer: I believe it would yes. I use it to keep food fresher longer in my fridge bc it takes O2 out. I store them in canning jars with metal lids and use these to "suck" out the air and seal.
Answer: It’s not for liquids, it’s for dry goods. It pulls a vacuum on the jar, so it would just suck up the liquid.
Q:
Is this sealer capable of sealing Ball Wide Mouth 1/2 gal / 64 oz/ 2 qt jars?
Answer: The large jar sealer will seal the bigger jars the small one does the pint size
Q:
Will this work with the vacmaster pro 350?
Answer: I do not know the vacmaster pro 350. It is all about the hose. Is there a port for the hose connection? If there is you will just have to buy the hose and try it. I have seen vac machines that the hose did not fit but they were older machines.
Answer: The vacmaster pro 350 does have a port and the hose comes with it.
Q:
Can you reseal the jars after opening or do you have to use a new lid??
Answer: Yes, you can reseal your jars after opening the jar.
Answer: You can reseal using the same lid many times.
Answer: yes you can. we will open a jar and use a partial and reseal.
Answer: I would assume as long as you do not heat the lid before sealing you can reuse is long is the glue on the lid is intact you should be able to have a noticeable vacuum just observe to see if the vacuum pumps
Q:
When would you use the Jar instead of the heat seal bags other than to protect the product from crushing or deformation? For example, bulk raisins.
Answer: I use the canning jars for storing nuts, beans, granola. Anything you want to remain fresh after opening a bag that doesn’t reseal. I love using it on brown sugar. Don’t use it on finely milled or powder products as this will be inhaled into the machine. I have a ton of things sealed in jars, both in the cabinets & in the freezer. Hope this helps.
Answer: Whether it's a pack of dried apricots or a jar of peanuts, jar sealers are built specifically to keep these items as fresh as the day they were bought. Even better, jars and jar sealers make it easy to grab and go with these snacks because the lid can be taken off and reapplied easily. If you want a handful of dried fruit before heading out, you can unseal and reseal them in a snap.
Answer: Flour, rice, dried vegetables, pasta, cookies, chocolate, etc. Jars and lids are re-usable...bags can be sometimes.
Answer: For Christmas gifts in 2017 I used jars to hold homemade colored popcorn and other jars with homemade trail mix.
Q:
Does this fit other brands of food sealers?
Answer: I am not sure if this will fit any other food sealer. You should contact the manufacturer.
Answer: We have not tested our accessories with other brands. They do work, however, with all currently manufactured models.
Answer: Sometimes it will fit. Only way I know to find out is to try.
Answer: I honesty don’t know. I would assume possibly but you may have to purchase it to find out.
Q:
Can you use this if you are sealing a jar that has water in it, or is it just for sealing dry goods?
Answer: The jar sealers work with wet and dry food, as well as liquids.
Answer: Yes you can seal fluids in the jars. I use it for milk.
Answer: Hello, you can seal it with approx. 2/3 liquid contents in it. Hope it was helpful.
Q:
When you open a sealed jar to use a bit, Is that lid then ruined or can the jar be resealed with the same lid?
Answer: If you are careful you can get the lid to seal but it may not stay sealed as long . I like using these seals. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01770SL92/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Answer: All depends on if you use a thumb to open, or a can opener. Openers tend to bend the lid, making it unusable. But a properly opened lid will reseal.
Answer: I reuse the seals multiple times, but it is not recommended since every time you pop the seal it looses some of its ability.
Answer: It can be resealed over and over again.
Answer: Yes you can reuse the lid as long as you're careful and don't damage the lid.
Q:
Once you open a can item that needs to be refrigerated after and you seal in jar do you still need to refrigerate?
Answer: This is not a substitute for process canning. If an item needs to be refrigerated, sealing with this only prolongs its life a little more but does not prevent botulism etc. Again this is NOT canning.
Answer: If you would normally put in the refrigerator, then yes, it needs to go in the refrigerator.
Answer: Yes, it would still need refrigerated.
Answer: Yes, it would still need refrigerated.
Q:
Since i can many items (pc & water bath) i have numerous used lids that i use for dry storage. do i need to use new lids?
Answer: For best results we recommend using new metal lids. However, our jar sealers are not to be used for canning purposes. Thank you!
Answer: No, used lids can be used with the vacuum sealer for jars. However, do not use ones that are bent or nicked. I'm always very carefull opening my canned items so I can use with my vacuum sealer.
Answer: yes because they won't seal if they are not new lids I tried useing a used lid and it did not seal.
Answer: I have only used it a few times so far, so I'm not really a good judge, but I don't think so, as long as they seal they should work with this, using new or nearly new lids, I seem to have had mixed results. I have not tried troubleshooting yet.
Answer: My experience so far is that if the seal is intact it works fine.
Q:
will this work other brands of vacuum sealers that have the accessory port?
Answer: We do not recommend using them on other brands as they have not been tested for compatibility.
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: This vacuum sealer has never worked right from day one. Bad investment on my part.
Q:
will this work for the vacuum bags with a valve ? Thanks!
Answer: Hello, this is Gosia from FoodSaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our FoodSaver Regular Sealer and Accessory Hose Wide-Mouth Jar Kit. The FoodSaver Jar Sealer is designed for Ball and Kerr brand wide-mouth and regular mason jars. Wide-mouth Jar Sealers can only be used with wide-mouth jars. Regular Jar Sealers are only for regular mason jars. FoodSaver Jar Sealers are also designed to fit Benardin Mason jars sold in Canada.
Q:
Does this come with both size sealers. The picture in the ad suggests it does but some of the reviews suggests there is only one.
Answer: Yes, this bundle comes with both the wide mouth and the regular mouth sealer.
Answer: I bought all the pieces separately, instead of as the kit. I was annoyed because the pictures show the sealers WITH tubing, but when I got them I saw there was none. I had to make another order for the tubing. I don't know if it's different if you order the kit..
Answer: There's one. You have order/purchase the other size. I use mine all the time.
Answer: I have bought a new sealer and I got I sealer and several bags anda few bag rolls. I have also purchased refurbished sealers and just received 1 sealer and bags and rolls in it, but less bags and rolls.
Answer: Mine had both.
Answer: Yes it does
Q:
I just tried to use this for the first time and the hose won’t lock into the food saver port so I’m not getting a seal! What should I do?
Answer: I'm not sure what you mean because my tube was connected and all I had to do was just take the cover off of the the PIN that you insert like an adapter to seal canning jars. I've done that with no issues whatsoever and I've also made bags and sealed them so I'm not seeing enough information to know how to help you like what tube why did you need to plug it in did you think it was not plugged in or are you trying to add something else to it?
Answer: Hello, this is Zuzanna from FoodSaver!
Q:
only need the small mouth sealer price please?
Answer: It’s a set
Q:
Does this work only with metal 1x use lids? Can I use Tattler lids?
Answer: I just ordered tattler lids yesterday and will try them out. I have read both yes and no to that. Mine works great with wide mouth metal lids. Cant get the regular size to work. Will keep trying though.
Answer: Hello, this is Karolina from FoodSaver!
Answer: I’m not sure if that type of lid would remain secure after vacuum sealing. Also I presume the vacuum that is produced is “stronger” than that of pressure canning. I may be wrong. If I was interested, I would contact the manufacturer of the unit. I honestly have never heard of these kids. Sorry.
Q:
what food saver models does this work with?
Answer: I use mine with the " FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer FSFRSH0051-P00 FreshSaver Handheld Rechargeable Sealing System," Put your food etc. in the bag, suck out the air or put dry goods in canning jars, put your lids on and take the air out with this system. As far as other models go I believe you can use this system with most of them but you would have to read about the particular model your interested in and see if it accommodates the accessory.
Q:
Does it work with Geryon food sealer
Answer: Don’t know anything about that sealer. The food saver has a small round hold into which the hose from the jar lid sealer fit. Go look at a Foodsaver and see if yours has the same size hole.
Q:
Are these still being made? Is food Saver or those who bought it still making Mason jar lid vacuum sealer‘s for both regular and wide mouth jars?
Answer: Yes
Q:
Does it also work for a one piece mason metal lid instead of two pieces metal lid?
Answer: Hello, this is Zuzanna from FoodSaver!
Answer: No, This will only work with a two-piece lid.
Answer: No it fits over the lid of a lid and ring and creates the suction. Would not work on a 1 piece top
Answer: No, it snaps down over the flat lid and suctions the air out:
Answer: A plastic lid no, a metal lid I also dont believe so.
Answer: You use it with just the lid not the band.
Answer: Most likely No, you have to put the center lid on and it vacuum seals that then you add the ring.
Q:
Will the Food Saver hand-held pump work with sealing mason jars? I don't want to buy the bigger vacuum system.
Answer: short answer is that it is not designed to...however, it's an easy hack. I got this set along with the handheld hand held pump kit, that came with a bonus "deli tray". Drilled a small hole into the lid of the deli tray and reamed it out until the connector of the hose could be forced in. sealed an empty pint mason jar in about 15 seconds. (notes: I filled the deli tray half full with what I had on hand to displace the air in the container, I didn't seal the connector to the deli tray lid with epoxy like I plan to, and I only let the pump charge for about 4 hours instead of the recommended 24 hours)
Answer: I always use my Foodsaver handheld pump to seal mason jars with these. It makes it so convenient vs pulling out my big Foodsaver from the drawer... Never have had a problem.
Answer: buy the brake bleed kit ($25 here on amazon, free shipping) and you can hand vacuum seal with no other machine or electricty. love mine
Answer: I use a brake bleed tool all the time on these. Works great. Like this:
Answer: No, the handheld only works with zipper bags and deli containers. Thanks!
Answer: Yes, I don't even use the hose the handheld covers the hole on top of the lid cover and seals perfectly. Makes it quick and easy.
Q:
Can this be used with the vs1100 series of food savers?
Answer: Hello Pattee, This is Salumu from Foodsaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our Foodsaver Vacuum Sealer Wide Mouth Jar kit. Yes, it compatible with the VS1100 Series.
Answer: Yes the jar sealers are compatible with this model series and all other counter top vacuum sealers, however, they are not compatible with the handheld vacuum sealers.
Q:
Does this include both regular and wide mouth attachments?
Answer: Yes, this bundle includes the wide mouth and the regular mouth seal.
Answer: Yes both wide mouth and regular it’s great
Answer: Yes it does. I found the smaller attachment had the gasket in upside down. Once I turned it over, I had no issues with using it.
Answer: That’s what the products specs say and the picture shows - I only purchased the sealer/bags.
Q:
I bought the set and it doesn't work on my food saver v2490. used the hose with the unit but it won't work. why won't it seal?
Answer: How are you attaching it? Are you using the accessory adapter or actually using just the plastic hose? Are you using the accessory setting?
Answer: Sometimes the seal isn't as good as it seems. Try wiping the rim with a dry cloth to make sure it's clean. Once in a while, I also jiggle the hose connection a little to see if there's air or anything preventing it from sealing. It takes a little bit of finagling at times, but usually works.
Answer: Could be a leaking gasket or part. YouTube has several good videos on this item
Q:
it’s one meant for regulating mason jars
Answer: Yes both large mouth and regular. I really love this attachment. I have put so much in jars all of our staples .
Answer: yes, one is for wide mouth and the other for regular.
Answer: Yes. But you have to make sure the ring and lid separate. It won’t work if the ring is on the lid part
Answer: No. My wife tried it and it didn't work too well.
Q:
Does this work with model 4840
Answer: Looks like the 4840 has the retractable sealer. I have model 5300 and mine has that and that's what I use so it should work, I can't tell you for sure
Answer: Absolutely, the jar sealers will work with any current FoodSaver.
Answer: I have a 4840 which has the retractable sealer and not an accessory vacuum port. The suction end of the retractable sealer pulls apart to expose a nub. I cut off one of the plugs of the jar tubing kit to attach it to the nub, but the tubing of the jar kit was too small a diameter to fit it. So, I heated the end of the tubing with a lighter to soften it. It fits fine now and works perfectly. I'm just going to leave it that way because I don't want to go through the heating process every time.
Answer: Yes, it works perfectly!! I have vacuum sealed several quarts and pint sized jars .
Q:
Will this sealer work on the Magic Chef that has the vacuum for jars? Having problems finding the hose and mason jar sealer to go with our new unit.
Answer: I believe the port would have to be 5mm.
Q:
Can I microwave food sealed in this container ?
Answer: This is not a container. These are jar sealers used for vacuum sealing Ball/Kerr Mason jars. We do not recommend microwaving your jars with the jar sealer son them, however.
Answer: You can microwave in the jars if you take the metal lids off first
Answer: Not unless you take the lid off. Metal and microwave don't play well
Answer: No
Q:
Does this work with potane sealer?
Answer: Hello, this is Karolina from FoodSaver!
Answer: Yes works well. We use it a lot
Q:
Does this work on 16 oz mason jars?
Answer: Yes
Q:
Do these work with ball jelly jars?
Answer: Our FoodSaver jar sealers work with Ball and Kerr mason jars. These jars are available in different sizes to suits all customers needs.
Answer: They work with all Ball STANDARD or wide mouth jars.
Q:
I know this isn't supposed to be used to "can" foods due to sterilization issues, but what if the contents are boiling hot when sealing?
Answer: FoodSaver recommends when jar sealing that the contents are room temperature or cooler.
Answer: You should go to a USDA page and look up canning. If the contents are high in acid you can use a water bath method but they must be canned properly or you risk getting really sick. I would not use this product to can.
Q:
Can one use the hose for Foodsaver Fresh Containers?
Answer: Yes I have. It works just fine!
Q:
What models is this compatible with?
Answer: This is compatible pretty much with all of our models.
Answer: Any model with a hose port
Answer: It should be compatible with any version of the FoodSaver
Answer: It’s not compatible with mine but mine is about 14 years old... if I remember correctly even on the box it came in doesn't specify... your best bet is to buy from your food savers manufacturer. Sorry, I wish I could have better nees
Q:
Does it work with the koios vs2233?
Answer: It did not work at all for me.
Q:
Does anyone know the "shelf life" of items sealed in jars?
Answer: Off hand I don’t. But check with your local County Cooperative Extension and they should have some information.
Product reviews of FoodSaver Regular Sealer and Accessory Hose Wide-Mouth Jar Kit, 9.00 x 6.00 x 4.90 Inches, White
BILL H : Have to improvise but it works good
madcow3417 : An engineers guide to vacuum jarring.
First, the jar adapter is specifically designed to not work with foodsaver handheld cordless. The hose doesn't fit, and the text on the top of the jar adapter is right where the handheld would fit if pressed, making a bad seal. To make the hose fit I first took the cap off the foodsaver handheld to expose a hose connector. I believe the cap was there to keep liquids from getting sucked up into the pump. I took the hose that came with the jar kit, cut it in half, and hit one of the cut ends with a heat gun. While hot I then pressed it onto the hose connector and it expanded to fit.
Put food in a jar with whatever heating or cooling or drying technique you fee like, put the lid (but not band) on, and attach the jar adapter. When you start to pump the sound should go from a medium frequency to a low frequency to a high frequency. At a medium frequency it's not doing any work, 14.7psi in the jar, 14.7 psi outside of the jar. It's just moving air around like a fan. At a low frequency the jar adapter rubber has sealed to the bead of the jar and the pressure inside the adapter is lower than ambient. There are a lot of air particles slowing down the pump. At a high frequency the jar is empty of air. The pump is spinning or flapping or whatever and there are few air particles to slow it down. At this point stop pumping and disconnect the hose from the jar adapter. A regular lid is about 3" diameter. That's about 7 square inches. A proper seal with a proper vacuum at sea level would take 104lbs of force to remove the lid, not counting cheating by lifting the edge to let air in. All that air pressure is holding down the lid so you can safely remove the jar adapter. If the jar adapter is knocking the lid off with its flimsy rubber then it's not really vacuum sealed.
I've done about 30 jars. On 4 of them the jar adapter wouldn't seal to the jar. On 2 of them I just had to press down harder so the rubber hit the bead. On 2 of them I ended up tying a string around the outside of the rubber underneath the adapter to get it to form a seal to the bead.

Light-Zone : Back in Stock at a Reasonable Price and Worth it!
Was happy to see these back and available at a reasonable price and ordered it asap. They arrived quickly and I was excited to try them out. One problem though. The included hose does NOT fit my accessory port. The gray plastic tip is too thick for my machines port. Luckily I already have another accessory hose ( FA2000 ) that works with my machine as well as the ball jar lids. I immediately tried the small lid because I had read several complaints about it's inability to create a vaccum seal. Good news, it worked first try.
PD. : Large works great, Small not so much
Have a Nesco vacuum sealer. They recommend using the Food Saver products for attachments. The large jar sealer works great, use it everyday to seal coffee beans. The small one doesn’t work using the canister setting on Nesco. Found the pulse function will seal the small jars.
If you don’t have the Nesco sealer or other sealer with pulse don’t know how you’d get the smaller to function.
Love the large jar sealer. Small takes a bit of fiddling.

ryan : Here's a fix...how to make a subpar product awesome...
Confirmed that the wide mouth version works fine, but the regular mouth one doesn't work very well. Here's my fix and it has been working well. To keep the blue silicone seal from falling out of the housing EVERY SINGLE TIME, I glued it in place using Silco brand RTV 4500 food grade silicone adhesive. I roughed up the mating surfaces with some 220 grit sand paper and cleaned with acetone prior to bonding. The bond seems pretty strong and I have not had a problem after about a dozen seals. I have not experienced any issues with the regular mouth lids not creating a seal. I think this is also because I stopped using my FoodSaver vacuum sealers, which kinda suck (or don't suck). Instead I bought a real vacuum pump--New Position's 3.0 CFM rotary vane vacuum pump (only $57!). Much tighter seal (even a bit hard to get the wide mouth lids off!). I'm pretty happy with this new setup. I pieced some stuff together to adapt the vacuum inlet, but you really just need to get a plastic or brass 3/16" barb coupler, a 3/16" barb to 3/8" male NPT fitting, and some 3/16" ID vinyl tubing and you're good to go! I'll post a pic for reference...
DayTrader : Large works great. Need to use two metal lids to seal with the smaller model
This item was bought to store dehydrated goods. The large jar sealer always works great. The smaller jar worked fine at first and then suddenly stopped working. After researching online and finding this complaint in many places, the problem discovered is that 1/32 of an inch adjustment in the manufactured lid would solve the problem but FoodSaver has not responded to the issue. Someone said "apply two metal lids to seal." SURE ENOUGH it works with two lids but the second one sometimes seals too and you can't get it off until using the product. Such a shame for a great product. Five stars for the large sealer. Zip for the smaller one.
davagain : Accessory hose does not fit accessory port on machine
I can't give details on how it might work because the items I was sent do not work together. I called customer service with posted hours until 8 pm and they were already closed at 6:15 PM Eastern time. There appear to be different hoses that have to be used with different Food Saver machines. I do not believe that was made clear in the listing. It certainly wasn't explained in the instructions, because there weren't any.
I thought that it was worth spending the extra money to buy both the machine and the accessory from Food Saver so they would be compatible. Wrong!

Brian Fortin : Great
If you vacuum pack mason jars, this is the way to go. You can hot can in the oven as an alternative, but heating food you are trying to preserve seems counter intuitive to me. You want to protect your food from heat, light, moisture and oxygen, and this product avoids the heat treatment. I use a Freshsaver handheld unit to impart the vacuum. It takes some getting used to make it work right, one part timing and one part knowing the right sound to listen for to confirm the pump is working. A handheld unit won't impart the hard vacuum you get with a Foodsaver, but it's adequate and pretty darn close when you throw in an oxygen absorber.
Kitty B. : Very happy with this product
I’ve had the jar sealer for several weeks now and use it several times a week for vacuum sealing dehydrated fruit and vegetables. Like other reviewers have said, the wide mouth jar sealer works flawlessly. Although I’ve had a couple of issues with the regular jar sealer, my experience using it has been nothing like many of the reviews which were totally negative. In the beginning I had a few of the jars lose their seal within about 5 minutes of sealing the jar. You can hear the lid pop when it loses the seal. So I started wiping the rim of the jar with a damp cloth before sealing it. For the most part that seems to have solved the problem. I leave the jars on the counter after sealing them just to make sure no seals pop. If no seals have failed after about 10 minutes I put them away. I do get some failures but very few, and they always seem to seal just fine on the second attempt. I’m happy with the way both products work.

Willim : great product if everything worked
I was excited to get this product to use. I worked with for an hour and couldn't get it to work. Went to Youtube to see what I was doing wrong. It looked like I was doing it right. I used my Foodsaver vacuum sealer that I just bought. I tried my old Ziplock vacuum sealer with no luck. Then my mom gave me an old hose from her Foodsaver she had from years ago. It worked!! Tried my hose again and the hose they send just doesn't work. I will be getting a hold of Foodsaver and hopefully getting a different hose to use. I did noticed that the little nipples on the ends that go into the jar sealer ring of my mom's hose are slightly longer. If Foodsaver replaces my hose to one that works I'll change my rating for this product. It is pretty cool and fun to work with.
Jennifer Emerson-Martin : Works great for my canning
Works great for my canning! I did have to seal my smaller cans with an additional flat lid flipped upside down on it, if that makes sense. If I didn't, then the cap was sometimes unsealed when I tried to remove the foodsaver part.
DB : Excellent!
I've used a handheld vacuum made by Reynolds for years. They don't make the bags any more, and it doesn't always work with the other brands so I bought an ENZOO vacuum sealer and this jar kit. I can't believe I didn't know about this before now. It's just plain awesome. I saw all the reviews saying how they adapted the hoses to fit the jar sealer, but I didn't have to do a thing. The ENZOO vac tube sits right on top and works like a charm.
Steve : Love it.
I bought this to use to vacuum seal jars of coffee to extend the freshness of the coffee. I also use it to vacuum seal and long term store jars of nuts.
I have a hand held vacuum device that works perfectly with these lids so I don't have to pull out the Food Saver machine. So far, there doesn't seem to be a problem reusing the lids.
The vacuum holds when removing the Food Saver Sealer. It works just like I hoped.
An easy five stars. I would buy again if needed.

Hurricane : Wide-mouth sealer mazing - the Regular-mouth sealer not so much
First of all the wide-mouth sealer is wonderful. I love it. The reason I am not giving this set a 5-star review is the design problem with the regular-mouth sealer - it does not work properly as described. After many efforts to get the regualr mouth lids to seal; new lids, new jars, many attempts I was ready to throw it in the garbage. Fortunately, I read the comment made to a reviewer experiencing the same problem. Thank goodness for that comment because now my problem is resolved. Using two lids one on top of the other while sealing is the secret to success. The top lid comes away when the sealer is removed leaving the bottom lid attached to the jar. I even tried it with lids I had removed from previously canned jars (washed and dried of course) and it sealed perfectly. Thank you to the person who posted a solution which works.
General Population : Works as expected with a handheld vacuum pump. Design flaw
The product works...does what is says. BUT, there is a design flaw (when using the handheld vacuum pump...also Food Saver brand, FoodSaver 31161370 Cordless Food Vacuum Sealer, Handheld). Since this comes with the tube, for using with the larger "bag"-type vacuum sealers, they may not have expected we'd be using the handheld pumps?
For no reason, they add the "Food Saver" words as raised letters right on the spot where you press down the rubber seal to use the handheld pump. I keep wondering if it's sealing correctly, so I'm pressing down harder than I want to. It all works though, I would have designed it different.

Sa-El : Sort of works
I am giving this product three stars because the wide mouth attachment works great no problems at all. However, the regular mouth lid attachment does not work at all. I tried every trick in the book to get the regular mouth lids to seal and they will not seal. So now I have three cases of regular mouth jars that I can't use. I will just have to buy wide mouth jars in order to use the FoodSaver jar seal attachment for my dry canning. FoodSaver, please fix this issue!
Lt. Todd : $228 of dried goods wasted due to it not sealing Jars!
I should have listened to the negative reviews. Doesn't matter how hard I try my jars never seal. Occasionally I'll get a jar to seal after about 25 tries. But at that point is when I typically will just lose patience and give up. And then decide to try again later. And it's just a cycle of losing patience and then trying again. Losing patience and trying again and so on. I've been at it for about 2 weeks now and I've only ever gotten 4 jars to seal completely. By sealing completely I mean the jar flat can hold up the weight of the contents and the jar without losing it's seal. That is what a successful seal is. Regardless if it's contents are being pressure canned, water bath canned, or vacuum sealed. At first I was thinking it was maybe the jar flats. So I went to my storage room and got some new ones out of a box. That didn't help it at all. I was thinking well maybe the seal material needed to be softened a little. I mean after all the flats and jars are designed to be sealed in a heated environment (i.e. pressure canner or water bath canner). So I added the jar flats to some boiling water for 30 seconds. Then dried the lid off with some paper towels before applying. That didn't help either. I then figured well maybe it's the vacuum sealer. So I went out to my local Walmart and purchased a brand new vacuum sealer. That didn't help either.
So I'm kind of ticked off considering I have 50 regular mouth quart jars with 680 grams (1.5lbs) by weight of basmati rice in each jar and they won't seal. That's 34 kilos (75lbs) of basmati rice. Worth a total of almost $120. I also have 25 Kilos (55lbs) of Bread flour divided between 18 wide mouth half gallon jars. And another 18 wide mouth half gallon jars with AP flour. For a total of 36 half gallon jars. And a total of 50 kilos (110lbs) of flour. Worth a total of about $60.
Then I have 24 bags of Hurst Cajun Ham Beans in regular mouth quart jars. That totals to almost $48.
So totaled up I have $228 of dried goods in my jars that won't seal. So I've wrote that expense off as a loss. Also not to mention the wasted oxygen and O2 absorbers in each jar. So I'll definitely be returning this. Also my jars were brand new and had no chips around the rim.
I doubt FoodSaver is going to make it right and reimburse me for the lost dried goods due to their product not properly sealing new unused jars.

Jennifer : Works for about a week
At first, I could only get the wide mouth to work. Once I figured I needed a second lid for the regular mouth to seal, it was smooth sailing for a few days. After that, I cannot get either to work now. I do not recommend this product unless it is really improved by the manufacturer. However, the concept is great.
Lee : Great product.
Food Saver Jar Sealer is a great product. I purchased the kit which includes both regular and wide mouth sealers and the accessory hose. So far after about 50-75 "sealings" I have not yet had one fail. Mostly I was sealing wide mouth quarts with rice, beans, coffee, and corn meal. No problem with the dry products. Note: I am using a brake bleeder to supply suction. I sealed some regular mouth jars, used lids, and they sealed fine too. Some reviews mentions the regular mouth lids were harder to seal. I had no problem. No need to add a second lid. It is a simple product. Not much to go wrong. I would buy again.
Tanya : Disappointed
I was very excited to get this to seal my mason jars full of spices, but it seems to be hit and miss. Some jars seal perfectly while others won't seal at all. I've tried "high quality" lids to see if that was the problem (it wasn't), made sure there was nothing getting sucked up in the tubing (there wasn't) and cleaned the piece that fits on the jar between each use. Not sure what the problem is. When it works, it's great, but more than half the time it fails to seal.
Susan mh : foodsaver wide mouth and small mouth
I have return this now 2 times, the small mouth dose not work. If you look at it the lip of the gaskit on the small one it dose not extend farther then the plastic lip as the large mouth dose. It dose not seal at all. The large one works fine. the only reason I bought this is because of the small mouth. To buy small one is almost the same price for 2. I do allot of canning etc this product needs to be evaluated and checked. Please if you need a small one dont buy it unless you read the review. Then again that dose not mean nothing. Company needs to look into this. They cost me allot of money due to doing glass on canning etc as times are hard on us all. We need products that work. They need to check the gasket on this thing.

Max : Works great so far.
I’ve used these jar sealer and the one from a 3rd party that screws on (large mouth only). These ones work just as well and are simpler to use. Just push on and your done. I can see these might work better on tricky jars because you can apply more pressure on the rubber seal by pushing down.
With these you get both sizes for roughly the same price as that 3rd party single size one. The hard part is finding them in stock.

1derbread : Vacuum sealer hack
I was bummed out when I tried to use the regular mouth and it didn't work. So I gave up and came back the next day. Here's what I discovered... using 2 lids help to create suction needed to seal a jar. Then remove the second lid and check to make sure the jar is sealed. I can't tell you how relieved I was to know my food is sealed and that this trick worked. I am using this method to maintain the freshness in the food I have been dehydrating for storage. I have also added a oxygen absorber in each jar to prevent spoilage. I am so thrilled to be able to preserve my summer garden harvest in addition to produce that is much less expensive in the summer. Hoping to be able to use my dehydrated foods in backpacking meals and winter meals.

Musiclover : Works Perfectly Once I Corrected My Mistake
I purchased this set of FoodSaver jar sealers with reservation as some reviewers had said they don't work. I did have to call FoodSaver twice for some guidance in using them with my specific FoodSaver model. The customer care people were very knowledgeable and helpful, but I still couldn't get the wide-mouth sealer to work. Then I finally discovered I had inserted the rubber ring upside down when I reassembled the sealer after cleaning. I flipped the ring over and the sealer worked easily and beautifully. I'm very happy with this product.

Dani Arteri : Not compatible with cordless handheld- description NOT clear at time of purchase
I bet it works great, but I'll never know. I have the cordless handheld FoodSaver (small black one with green rim), and was under the impression that this jar kit would work. On the product page for the jar sealer, there is a statement that any sealer with an accessory port is compatible. The handheld DOES have an accessory port, but it is NOT compatible with the jar sealer kit--I even contacted the company to make sure.
The customer service rep said he'd talk with the IT department about getting it changed- but just in case it's not changed, here's your warning about compatibilty!

Sarsaparilla : Works with a handheld vacuum sealer and canning jars
Can be used with the handheld vacuum sealer (FS1110) to seal dehydrated foods in canning jars. No lid modification or tube needed. Just remove the plastic cover from the handheld to reveal a small plastic nipple that fits into the hole in this white-cap accessory. It's not a snug fit, but that's fine. For me, the handheld is a better option than purchasing a full size vacuum sealer with a port, due to lower cost and size. That said, if you have or want a full size Foodsaver sealer with a port, this accessory is designed to work with that. I was a bit disappointed that after waiting several months, I still couldn't purchase just the wide mouth sealer, since that normally retails for ~$10.
PD. : Large works great, Small not so much
Have a Nesco vacuum sealer. They recommend using the Food Saver products for attachments. The large jar sealer works great, use it everyday to seal coffee beans. The small one doesn’t work using the canister setting on Nesco. Found the pulse function will seal the small jars.
If you don’t have the Nesco sealer or other sealer with pulse don’t know how you’d get the smaller to function.
Love the large jar sealer. Small takes a bit of fiddling.

KC : I am probably going to be sealing several jars and this is annoying and time consuming
I haven't used it a lot, but the large mouth jar lid sealer seems to work well every time. The small mouth sealer is a pain and seldom works. It worked about three times as it should. Then the rubber started falling out on every jar and the lids did not seal. After reading some other reviews, I saw one with the tip of putting one upside down jar lid on top of the one that sits on the jar then using the sealer. I tried that and the lid did seal, but the rubber still pops out and has to be put back in after every jar. Foodsaver, you need to do something about this. When I use it, I am probably going to be sealing several jars and this is annoying and time consuming.
Oldster : Experiment First
I bought both the regular and large mouth sizes. The regular works very well but the wide mouth takes some work to get a good seal. Using new lids is a must from what I have learned. If you bought one and are having trouble, get new lids. If that does not work, you may have to double the lids to get the seal. Best thing I can say is learn to use it on jars before you try to seal something for long term storage.
K. Floyd : Doesn't work
While this is easy to use, it does not create su cation in the jar. I have tried different types of lids, and multiple tricks- like double lids, heated lids, etc. Nothing has sealed. My wife and I fussed over this device (both sizes) for over 2 hours. And didn't get a single jar to seal.
I feel taken on this purchase. Don't purchase.

Honest Customer for Freedom : Good but need to know the hack for the reg mouth
I didn’t rate this a 5 because the small one needed a hack to make it work. I have to place two lids instead of one on the jar the put the suction cap on it otherwise the jar will not seal with the lid. I found this hack on YouTube. There seems to be a design flaw with the small regular mouth suction piece, but once I found this hack, I have not had any problems.
Light-Zone : Back in Stock at a Reasonable Price and Worth it!
Was happy to see these back and available at a reasonable price and ordered it asap. They arrived quickly and I was excited to try them out. One problem though. The included hose does NOT fit my accessory port. The gray plastic tip is too thick for my machines port. Luckily I already have another accessory hose ( FA2000 ) that works with my machine as well as the ball jar lids. I immediately tried the small lid because I had read several complaints about it's inability to create a vaccum seal. Good news, it worked first try.
SINNOCENT : What a joke
I've tried this on 16 jars now- 10 regular mouth and 6 wide mouth. Only 1 has gotten a seal. It spends the majority of the time not fitting down over the jars right without the blue cushion inside warping- and it won't even think of sealing regular mouth jars until you put a second lid over the first. Yall really missed the mark here... and I'm out $40. What a mess.

Amazon Customer : I think by now we all know these are good.
A word of advice - when I first used the wide mouth attachment, I couldn't get it to seal at all - not even with brand new lids. Then I noticed the blue gasket didn't look the same as the smaller attachment's seal...I flipped the seal over on the wide mouth attachment and it worked like a charm. Have had no problems since with it's performance.
MDB : Nice addition to have
If you own a vacuum sealer these are nice attachments to have. They are solid and easy to clean and so far they fit on the jars I have used. I bought this set because the price for both was less expensive than buying individually. Very pleased with this purchase.
Vicki Damron : This vacuum sealer reeks
This thing has worn me out. I’ve had to mess with this all morning. I’ve sealed 16 quart jars. I’ve tried old lids, new luds, new jars, old jars, regular wide mouth. 2 different food savers. It takes 7 or 8 tries to get a seal. The gasket pulls off and pulls lid with it. Seal comes off every time. It doesn’t seat in vacuum cap allowed rice to be pulled in between gasket and cap. Pulls seal fine. just gasket pulls the lid off. The bigger gasket tucks under rim so it was better but still finicky. I was using almost all new lids. I do don’t have any used ones.
Amy : Seal and seal again!
Purchased in August , 2016
These are awesome. Just awesome.
Even if you don't can get yourself some jars just for vacuum storage.
Guaranteed you won't be disappointed!!!
I use the heck out of these things. I waited a long time to put my review in to see if they last.
See for yourself with the photo. They still look brand-new.
The inner seal removes easily for handwashing. I suppose you could put them in the dishwasher, but they're so easy to clean. Why would you?
The vacuum tube that comes with is very sturdy. Measures approximately 2' for vacuum sealing all sizes of jars easily.
Highly recommended

A word of advice - when I first used the wide mouth attachment, I couldn't get it to seal at all - not even with brand new lids. Then I noticed the blue gasket didn't look the same as the smaller attachment's seal...I flipped the seal over on the wide mouth attachment and it worked like a charm. Have had no problems since with it's performance.
Chip Thome : This also isn't anything new so obviously FoodSaver doesn't care about selling a defective product as the bad reviews go back a number of years
Go read the 1 star reviews on just the regular mouth jar sealer of this kit. IT DOES NOT WORK and I am sorry I failed to delve deeper into the reviews. This also isn't anything new so obviously FoodSaver doesn't care about selling a defective product as the bad reviews go back a number of years. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY on the regular mouth sealer. The wide mouth, have had one of those for years and that one functions as intended.
you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
