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
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.
I feel taken on this purchase. Don't purchase.
Sam : In a nutshell: If your food saver comes with ...
In a nutshell: If your food saver comes with a hose (4000, 5000 series, 3920, 2435, etc), skip this kit and just buy the wide mouth piece separately. You won't need the accessory hose and it appears the regular mouth is nothing but trouble.
✫I'm using a FoodSaver 3620. Similar to the 4000 series but not as large.
✫Heres a direct link to the exact jars I bought that worked perfectly with the kit: Ball Half-Gallon Jars, Wide Mouth, Set of 2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MRFVML3?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
✫I thought I needed the accessory hose which is why I bought the kit over just the wide mouth adapter (which seems to be the only one that works per reviews).
✫ At first I thought, "oh no, This doesn't work with my Food saver" since I couldn't figure out how to attach the accessory hose in the kit to the one on my unit. Silly me, I didn't realize that all I needed to do was remove the clear plastic part on my stock hose to expose the little gray nub that fits perfectly in the hole on top of the mason jar sealer.
✫ I only have wide mouth jars and for those the wide mouth adapter works perfectly. My lettuce looks just as fresh 1 week in as it did 1 day.

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...
Anne : Wrong port on hose, Regular mouth requires extra work
I purchased a foodsaver (model FM2000) this past winter (2019), and purchased this to extend the shelf life of dried goods in the pantry.
The hose had the exact SAME grey ends, both of which fit into the sealers, but NOT the food saver machine itself. So, useless hose.
Thankfully, the food saver came with a hose itself with the two different ends that fit properly.
The wide mouth isn't perfect, but it is easier to use. There are less lid failures during the process with the wide mouth verses the regular mouth, so there is that.
The regular mouth can not be used as is. I got the first jar to seal properly, then as I was trying to get the others to seal, it popped open.
I went to the foodsaver website to troubleshoot, found nothing, and started reading reviews. There were suggestions on what to do to make it work.
After I started doing these steps, the regular mouth worked.
1. Do not overfill jars. Keep the 1 inch head space and do NOT press down or shake together powders like flour, or rice, etc., the air flows better if there's a bit of room in the jar.
2. Wipe the rim of jar and rim of lid with a damp, not wet, towel.
3. Use two lids instead of one.
4. With the hose UNattached, put the sealer on by putting it straight down from the top onto the jar.
5. Attach the hose, hold the sealer down with one hand, run the foodsaver. It won't take a lot of pressure, but you will have to hold manually it.
6. When the foodsaver stops, pull the hose from the sealer first, then release the foodsaver.
7. Carefully remove the sealer. Sometimes the gasket stays on the jar, sometimes it doesn't. Remove second lid. (It's just there t help with pressure.)
After doing that, the regular mouth worked better. I currently have all the jars I sealed today on the counter. I'm going to wait 24 hours to double check the seals before putting them up in the pantry. Also, I have a few older jars that have a much larger beaded neck. The regular mouthed jars with that large of a neck could not be used, but the newer ones with a smaller one could. (See blurry pic.)
Unlike regular canning for jams and such, this would be the one time you would want to store jars with the ring tightly on the jar. With waterbath or pressure canning wet foods, the lids can actually cause a false seal which can make the food unsafe to eat. With dry goods, the band can help to keep the seal and there is no danger of botulism. Plus, easier to stack, if need be.
There was one last suggestion made that I did not have to try yet. It was to place the lids into an over set at 200 degrees for a minute or two to activate the red seal. It remains to be seen if I will have to do that to the lids in the future.
As long as the seals remain, this purchase should be okay. By the end of my first batch of jars today, I'm not enamored. I will update if there is any new info.

Mandy H. : Stop Throwing Away Food!
I have become a vacuum sealing fool with this thing!! I have not had any of the problems other people have had with getting this thing to seal. I have not had to modify it at all. I seal everything from spices, cut veggies, to some leftovers and they last MUCH longer than in the fridge in a regular container. I currently have a vacuum sealed jar of guacamole that has been in there about a month and is as green as the day it was made (not from mold, lol).... My favorite is being able to shred cheese and keep it vacuum sealed to use a little at time without going moldy. My fridge is filled with mason jars! Even my teen has gotten into the habit of vacuum sealing everything. If you have a vacuum sealing, this is the attachment to buy.
Only con, is getting the lids back off. If you have short nails you will probably need something to help pry the lid off. I use a butter knife when I need to. If you have arthritis or another hand condition, you will probably have a hard time with the lids.

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.

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.
tallslenderguy : Doesn't fit FM2100 port?
I received mine today and the gray tab works fine in the lid portion, but does not fit snuggly in the green port on my FM2100. I have a zip lock attachment that came with the machine and it has a green tab that fits just fine (and looks different from the two gray tabs on the hose I received with this device). I tried switching the tabs to no avail. I was afraid to push too hard because I do not want to break the port on my machine. The adapter that came with the machine attaches and removes easily, so i would think this would as well?
Edit: Okay, figured it out. With my particular unit, cannot use the hose that comes with this. If you remove the top from the zip lock attachment, there is a male connector that fits in the canning jar attachment just fine and then you can use that hose. Also used the tip someone in the Q&A section mentioned about inverting an extra lid to keep the canning lid from coming off when you removed the regular jar vacuum attachment. I would have given it 5 stars, but you do have to play with it a bit, then it works great.

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.
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.
Sandra J Mineau : Regular Size jar lids seal!
Having looked at a lot of the reviews, I did have some reservations about the regular size sealer and the first one I tried would not seal. But; by putting a little pressure on the top of the sealer, it worked really well. The only failure I had was the result of a flawed lid. Should you have to put pressure on the top of the sealer, no, and that is why I gave it a 4 rating. I have far more regular mouthed canning jars, and this sealer working really came through. The information in the accessory packed states the sealers are for Ball, Kerr and Mason jars. I believe they will work on any canning jar. I did seal, Ball, Kerr, Presto, Atlas, Anchor Hocking, Good Housekeeping and other brands without any problem.
kathy.la : Doesn't work with Model VS1130
Bought this to use on FoodSaver model VS 1130 and it did not work. I called FoodSaver to find out why and after being transferred 3 times after a hour and a half on the phone I was beyond frustrated. I was told it's actually a Seal a Meal and kept getting transferred. I never got an answer. The actual Vacuum unit words great but I wanted to use the Jar sealer.
James Thomas : Works great even with non-FoodSaver sealer
I bought these to use with a NutriChef vacuum sealer hoping they would be compatible and they were. The hose wouldn't work but the one that came with the vacuum sealer fit the attachments so that worked out well. I sealed a dozen wide mouth jars with things from flour to rice to pasta as well as a couple of regular mouth jars and everything worked like a charm. I checked a few days later to make sure the seals were still intact and they were.

Sam : In a nutshell: If your food saver comes with ...
In a nutshell: If your food saver comes with a hose (4000, 5000 series, 3920, 2435, etc), skip this kit and just buy the wide mouth piece separately. You won't need the accessory hose and it appears the regular mouth is nothing but trouble.
✫I'm using a FoodSaver 3620. Similar to the 4000 series but not as large.
✫Heres a direct link to the exact jars I bought that worked perfectly with the kit: Ball Half-Gallon Jars, Wide Mouth, Set of 2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MRFVML3?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
✫I thought I needed the accessory hose which is why I bought the kit over just the wide mouth adapter (which seems to be the only one that works per reviews).
✫ At first I thought, "oh no, This doesn't work with my Food saver" since I couldn't figure out how to attach the accessory hose in the kit to the one on my unit. Silly me, I didn't realize that all I needed to do was remove the clear plastic part on my stock hose to expose the little gray nub that fits perfectly in the hole on top of the mason jar sealer.
✫ I only have wide mouth jars and for those the wide mouth adapter works perfectly. My lettuce looks just as fresh 1 week in as it did 1 day.

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.
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.
AmyWalker : I love this thing!
I just discovered this Foodsaver jar attachment about a week ago. I'm concerned about the amount of plastic trash the world puts out every day and was thrilled to discover this thing. It keeps food fresh much longer by removing the oxygen from the container it is in, meaning a whole lot less food waste. Foods can be held longer in storage without fear of spoilage. I just dehydrated a whole lot of fruits and vegetables and was intending on storing them in zip lock bags, wire bail jars or in Foodsaver bags. The Foodsaver bags are great for long term storage, but they create a lot of plastic trash. Now, with this Foodsaver jar attachment, you can use the same Mason jars and lids over and over which saves a lot of money and the environment, and requires no plastic at all. I have read about people putting fresh food in it and storing it in their refrigerators and getting much longer storage times, something I have not yet delved into, but will be exploring real soon. What I like even more is that if you have something like chips, baking mix or flour, that people get into a lot but could go stale, you can take what you want out and immediately reseal it with the Foodsaver jar attachment, keeping it fresher longer.
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!

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.
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.
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.

BILL H : Have to improvise but it works good
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.

dianna l. schwab : This thing really works!!!
What I like is that I don’t own a very expensive bag sealer machine, so I bought a car brake bleeder vacuum pump kit and manually pump the air out of the jars. It only takes about 10-15 squeezes, then done! Really easy, in expensive and convenient. It works like a charm! I recommend this product to anyone who wants to be able to can/preserve their own food.
AV : Works with FoodSaver hand held
I almost returned it because I thought it wouldn't work, but then I figured it out. It arrives with a suction tube that has an attachment on either end. One end attaches to your jar suction lid and the other connects to your food preservation system. The attachment doesn't fit the hand held preservation device. Here is the remedy. Pull the attachment off one end of the tube. Pull the green cap off the bottom of the hand held device to reveal a small stem. Hold the suction tube (the end without the attachment) under hot water to allow it to soften (hold it with the opening down to avoid getting water in it). When it softens, force it over the little stem on the hand held. Let it cool that way to mold it. Then use the attachment on the other end connect to the mason jar suction lid. Cover your mason jar with its disc lid (not the ring). Press the suction lid firmly over it, and use the hand held to remove the air. To easily remove the suction lid from your jar, first detach the hose from the suction lid. Then pull the suction lid off. The system sucks the air out of my mason jars perfectly and seals the disc lids on well. I'm very pleased.
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.

skyhawkd : Great product to save money on food
I love the jar sealing products from Food Saver. Here's what I used them for:
- after making a big batch of fresh juice, I pour it in mason jars and seal them. They last for a week in the fridge.
- if I've got quinoa or nuts or small amounts of pasta that aren't quite enough for a recipe I put them in mason jars and seal them up. Lasts a lot longer.
- Mason jar salads
- Pretty much anything that can go in a mason jar and get stored in the fridge will last a lot longer if you seal it first
Tip: use the moist, gentle speed on the Food Saver and watch to make sure it isn't trying to suck up the liquid into the tubing. Did that once and had to dismantle the machine to clean it.
Highly recommend this for cooks!

Tennessee shopper : no more fuzzy green surprises
I had some of these before but after moving 3 times, I either lost them or haven't found the obscure box where they are packed.
These are great! I use my mason jars, and lids that have been previously used in canning. I can store my leftovers - soup, veggies, fruit, salad - if it fits in the jar, I store it there. Then using the Jar Adapter, I remove the air. The leftovers last so much longer - no more fuzzy green surprises!

I buy a big box of cereal and divide in ball jars. months later have great cereal instead of throwing away the end of the box..cook large roasts and put in ball jars for lunch. meat on bottom then gravy topped with potato and vegetable. suck out the air and freeze. you can take a meal in a jar out of the freezer, put in a crock pot with water 1/2 way up the jars. on low all day... when you get home dinner is ready to serve! for labels I use plain paper print cut and use clear labeler tape.. cheap easy.
Mtndawg54 : These work great! If it doesn't check the Jar also! Blue Mason Jars have problem.
These work great with the KOIOS Vacuum Sealer (VS2233) also on Amazon. I sealed my first regular mouth without a problem. My second vacuum attempt on the next jar did not work. I thought it was the lids as the jar looked fine. Turns out it was the jar. I finally switched to another jar and it again worked great! No problems with the wide jar at all. Highly suggest. I use these for refrigerated fruit. Appears you don't have to flash freeze first when sealing into a jar. Will update this if I find it's different after a couple of days. I'm a retired guy and I'm now quite the homemaker! Highly suggest this if you have a vacuum sealer with the hose attachment available!!!!
Note: After several days of use I found a common problem using Regular Mouth Blue Tinted Mason Jars. If they do seal it's not very well. It has to be something with the glass used for the blue tint or the manufacturing process. They do not have a perfect top like most clear Mason Jars. From now on I will not even try to use a blue tinted regular mouth mason jar. They will be relegated to a ornament in my garden. Wide Mouth Mason Jars work the best by far!!!!

Okie girl : I recently got into canning and these make it so easy. A must have
These attachments make my Nesco Vacuum sealer so much more versatile. I use these all the time! I recently got into canning and these make it so easy. A must have. In the picture these are refrigerator pickles and did not need the hot bath or pressure canning process.
ToolChick : WORKS AWESOME!!!
This is especially useful when I open one of my jars because I can reseal it with this vacuum sealer. this is a great way maintaining the freshness of my food.
JaFish101 : Very Handy Vacuum Accessory
Great accessory for any vacuum sealer with an accessory port. No need to only use a Foodsaver vacuum. The wide mouth unit has been perfect. The regular one sometimes pops out its seal after removing from the jar. Not really a problem since it is after it has done it's job. It only slows down the process since you have to stop and pop back in the silicone ring. Outside of that it has been a great set.
Works with standard Mason jars and lids. You don't have to add jar rings after sealing but it a good idea to keep anything from banging your lid and losing your seal. Don't forget to wipe the glass edge before putting on the jar lid to eliminate any dust or other particles from messing up your seal.

Amazon Customer : Perfect for canning dry goods and honey!
Wish I'd have known along time ago that tree small mouth jar sealer was available. Would've made life much simpler for the past decade! I had my own raw honey. Putting jars in a hot water bath to seal lids is not an option. Finding large mouth pint jars is always troublesome. Problem solved! Next problem will be when I wear out the FoodSaver sealer due to all tge extra new use.

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

Pa-Pa : Solutions to Known Problems with the FoodSaver Mason Jar Vacuum Sealer Kit
I absolutely LOVE my jar sealer kit. I seal all my spices, herbs, beans, flour, wheat berries, rice, and more in various size Mason Jars (4, 8, 16, 32, and 64oz).
Everything said here about the problems with the Regular-Mouth Adapter are true. It is not designed properly. But I found a SOLUTON THAT WORKS for me every time (so far except for one jar that was chipped).
My solution is to use a clean WET sponge to moisten the bottom ring of the jar. I am providing a picture of my technique. (I only had one hand available because I had to take the picture but...) With the hand not shown, I rotate the jar around keeping the WET sponge exactly as shown all the way around (only the end of the sponge needs to be WET, I try not to get any moisture above that ring)). I found that getting the sponge wet before each use seemed to be make a difference. Immediately seal the jar before the ring has a chance to dry.
I start the vacuum before I connect the hose to the Adapter. That way I can tell right away if it's sealing. The sound changes if the machine starts working harder to do the sealing. As long as that bottom ring was wet I had about a 90% success rate. On those occasions when the sealing did not start right away, I picked up the jar and Adapter and gently twisted the jar a tad inside the Adapter. This worked for me every time the jar did not seal on it's own.
If that doesn't do it for you, you can play around with tilting the Adapter a bit. I used to have to do this before I figured out the wet ring solution.
As for the complaint about the hose not fitting the sealer, this too is true. BUT, the hose that comes with your sealer should work. I've had a couple different brands and they all came with a hose that worked. If you purchased a sealer without a hose, you may be out of luck. The only hose I've seen that you can order separately is the FoodSaver hose which, as others have said, does not work with many sealers.
I have never considered the hose problem a big deal since the hoses that came with my sealers have worked great.
The Regular-Mouth problem was a huge problem for me because I use 4oz mason jars to store all my spices in. I had a "need" to make it work and kept exploring options (wrapped 5 layers of black tape around that bottom rim which worked well prior to coming up with the idea of the wet ring which works better and saves all that tape and time :). Except for the 4oz jars for the spice and herbs, I stick with Wide-Mouth simply because the Wide-Mouth Adapter works great every time with no additional steps. As far as I know, you cannot buy 4oz Wide-Mouth jars :).
I keep the sealer on my counter because I use it almost daily. All of the jars in the Spice Drawer show are all Vacuum Sealed.
Just make sure that bottom ring has no chips, the top of the jar is clean, and the lid is clean as well.

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.
AV : Works with FoodSaver hand held
I almost returned it because I thought it wouldn't work, but then I figured it out. It arrives with a suction tube that has an attachment on either end. One end attaches to your jar suction lid and the other connects to your food preservation system. The attachment doesn't fit the hand held preservation device. Here is the remedy. Pull the attachment off one end of the tube. Pull the green cap off the bottom of the hand held device to reveal a small stem. Hold the suction tube (the end without the attachment) under hot water to allow it to soften (hold it with the opening down to avoid getting water in it). When it softens, force it over the little stem on the hand held. Let it cool that way to mold it. Then use the attachment on the other end connect to the mason jar suction lid. Cover your mason jar with its disc lid (not the ring). Press the suction lid firmly over it, and use the hand held to remove the air. To easily remove the suction lid from your jar, first detach the hose from the suction lid. Then pull the suction lid off. The system sucks the air out of my mason jars perfectly and seals the disc lids on well. I'm very pleased.
A_Normal_Man : Dog poo
Does't work like in the videos,tried extra lids, cleaning all the surfaces, heating lids, doesn't seal. Maybe mine is defective, waited to long to use it to get a refund, so I will leave this bad review instead. Buyer Beware!
