Will the "FoodSaver FreshSaver -Handheld- Vacuum Sealer" work with these canisters? The handheld does NOT use a hose.

I am assuming it will not work without the hose. You have these attachments for the hose depending on which of at least three attachments depending on what container you are sealing... Oval (for the ham/cheese canister), this type of canister attachment and there's another for another style for different type of canister. I have another hose attachment that is bright green and clear that I got direct from FoodSaver for $8-$15 that seals the reusable bags... Again, I am assuming it will not work with the handheld vacuum as there is no tube... it's got to have a thing to plug into the canister hole. I am assuming it will not work without the hose.

Ynot sure I have the large countertop sealer...but after using it a few times the bottom of the container got spider cracks and didnt keep a seal very long once the cracks started to appear.

I would not recommend any food saver canister. They always seem to lose the vacuum and I've even ended up spilling the contents because I picked it up by the top. The bags I love.

it is a little tricky but does work. Most of the time I use the ziplock one that is a hand pump instead of the handheld vacuum sealer.

Yes! These bags work with any standard vacuum sealer. They will be perfect with a Foodsaver!

Yes, you can use a VACUUM-type sealer that sucks all the air out of the jar -- I do it all the time. Food Saver® brand does it very well, as long as the unit is capable of sealing 'cannisters'.

Yes, it will, Teressa. :) I mean if you use your "hose" ---- I was thinking about the food saver containers. I'm not familar with the jar sealer.

I too own an old Foodsaver vac. I had to cut the gasket in order for it to fit. It seems to work just fine for sealing but I haven't extracted air since buying it.

Yes. These bags will work with all standard vacuum sealer machines (like Foodsaver, Weston, Cabela's. Seal-A-Meal, VacMaster...).They are a universal bag and a great value!

These bags are made for our FoodSaver Vacuum systems. They are not compatible with the handheld devices.

You will need a container adapter in order to use your FreshSaver with your FoodSaver containers. The adapter is included with the containers.

So far i've just used the Food Saver brand of bags. But you should be able to use any bags. I'm not happy with the performance of my Rival vacuum sealer though. It worked great the first few times using it. We haven't used it very often and we are already having problems with it. It's suctioning fine but the sealer does not kick in to seal. We've only had it for around 6 months. We keep the rubber part that does the seal protected so it doesn't dry out or flatten by wrapping it in the original packaging and still it's not working propertly. So, I don't recommend this product.

I believe, as an additional accessory, you can purchase vacuum seal canisters for this unit. I have only used it with bags. The canisters due work with the accessory port. Hope this helps.

The hose came with the Foodsaver. They seem to work well. For instance, we keep lettuce in a vacuum and it was still crisp after 3-4 weeks.

I would not recommend using anything but the foodsaver bags. The biggest reason is the foodsaver bages have air channels in them, so they can be vaccumed down. Regular plastic bags do not have these air passages, and won't vaccum down. It may also dammage the heat seal strip on the foodsaver. Hope this helps.

I use the FoodSaver FreshSaver Handheld Vacuum Sealing System. Item model number: FSFRSH0051-000. It cost any where from $15 to $21 dollars.

It does, despite Foodsaver designing both items in a way to try to prevent it, so that consumers buy the more expensive, larger, foodsave rather than the Freshsaver. To get it to work, you simply press the Freshsaver down firmly over the wide mouth jar adapter to ensure a good seal and it will work just fine. Alternately, there is a hose attachment that complements the jar adapter that you can modify by cutting one end off and inserting the hose end to the Freshsaver, which makes it easier to get a good seal and suction.

Rival Food Vacuum sealer works with this. amazon Kmart Walmart have them. Make sure to get a model that has external port, for the tube.

Don't know if they work with the Food Saver sealing. The hand pump is easy to use however they don't last that long. I have had them for over a year now and they don't seal anymore. I probably shouldn't have put the lids in the dishwasher though. My shipment also had a damaged lid, one of the flaps that clamps down was broken off.

Yes, it works with the foodsaver bags. I ordered a roll when I ordered the sealer, and cut the rolls down to smaller sizes when I need them. The only problem I have run into is sometimes I dont get a side sealed correctly when I cut them down, and the sealer will just keep vacuuming and not seal. Now I know to just reseal the side I cut, and once I do that it works perfectly.
