Hi the pro 2300 doesn't come with an accessory hose. Here is a hose that will allow the pro 2100 and pro 2300 to work with the foodsaver jar sealers, and other accessories. http://www.provacuumsealers.com/pro-2300_replacement_parts.htm You use it with the lid open in the center port. Hope this helps, Roger

No vacuum, its a good seal, but not THAT tight....plus there is the overflow fitting that will always let the barrel breath.

it is used with the food saver machine.. it's the same as the one for the wide mouth jar only for the smaller mouth jars.. it fits on with the same hose as the wide mouth jar sealer..

It's just as you see it in the picture. No separate hose comes with it but my hose is part of my foodsaver unit. My unit seals bags but has a hose attached thats used for the marinator, canisters, and the deli lunchmeat keepers.

I am not sure what it is you are asking me,but I ordered this Tila Foodsaver hose for my Weston (Live To Cook,Michael Simon) vacuum sealer.This will attat ch to a port on this sealer to use my Foodsaver containers & jar sealers. I do have a hand held Foodsaver vacuum sealer also. You need nothing extra to seal your foodsaver containers. They have this hole on top & you place your hand held vacuum sealer over that & suction the air out.You have sealed the container. My hand held is electric. Hope this helps.

The FoodSaver Jar Sealers can be purchased separately. The Jar Sealer fits on your Ball and Kerr Mason jars and works with FoodSaver vacuum sealer systems to store foods and keep them fresh longer. The Jar Sealer is not to be used to replace the canning process and does not replace the lid of the jars. There are two sizes - the http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-T03-0006-02P-Regular-Mouth-Jar-Sealer/dp/B0000CFFS6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412352652&sr=8-1&keywords=REGULAR+JAR+SEALER and the http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-T03-0023-01-Wide-Mouth-Jar-Sealer/dp/B00005TN7H/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412352681&sr=8-1&keywords=wide+mouth+jar+sealer. Depending on your jar size that you want to use for food storage, you only require one jar sealer.

I have loved my Weston. It did not come with the hose to seal the jars. I have not tried to seal mylar bags, but my friend who recomended this has and he said it's the best out there. He seals lot more than I do. I also use other bags that are not Weston. They seal just fine.

None, but there are attachments that can be purchased separately. I purchased mine from a local vacuum dealer. I took the vacuum in and asked what could be done. Many attachments fit multiple models and brands. Still in love with my vacuum.

Yes. Close smaller jar with its lid very, very lightly closed against its glass edge. Put it in the larger jar or vacuum canister. Suck the air out of the larger jar. The vacuum in the larger jar will also suck the air out of the smaller jar and suck its lid tight. Break the vacuum on the large jar and remove the small jar. Then give the lid on the small jar a good twist to seal it tight. I've done this with no problem at all. Although, I'm using a DIY system made from a bicycle pump. It can pull about 25 inches Hg of vacuum !!!

Honestly I bought it and found that my smaller jars and bags fit my needs. The tightvac seals and makes a semi "air-proof" seal, but it's not a vacuum

Lots of brands will work. Weston bags (available from Amazon & prime eligible) work very well and are pretty inexpensive. Of course, if you mean to ask "plain bags", then no- you need ones designed for a clamp vac sealer. But the Weston are about as good as you'll find.

Hi Mike, I use this item with my Vacupack Deluxe vacuum sealer. You can use this with any vacuum sealer that has the air hose attachment (for example: the Food Saver vacuum sealer). These containers are great to vacuum all the air out for storing bread or other baked goods in. Also, I use them to marinate beef jerky. I hope this helps. Ask any questions anytime you need to.

Don't know about sealing jars, does not come with a hose. Have not tried Mylar, I understand that's a whole different system, but do not personally know anything about it. I buy bags online from several different merchants and have run thousands of them thru this sealer, never had a problem despite using different brands.

There is an accessory that allows you to vacuum seal jars. I bought it but have not used it yet. However, if it works as well as the rest of the unit and accessories, it should be fine.

the regular mouth jar sealer assecessory is separate and is for the smaller jars you can use the same hose with it.. there are hundereds of how to vidios both at foodsaver .com but on youtube just search the net

I do not use bags. I only use my Reynolds vacuum sealer with the special lids for Mason Jars. It works fabulously with the Mason jars.

I have done a lot of research on vac sealers ,I purchased a food saver designed for sportsman today , and the duty cycle is pathetic (tired of waiting), it is going back tomorrow. I am going to bite the bullet , and pay the price for the Weston 2300 , all of the reviews seem to be good to great on this sealer (only bad complaint is bulky size ), if you research it will do canning jars also with a little research (another brands hose). also I have seen Weston bags on amazon.( Also you did put this posted question, in the results for the 2300 model ) so I will assume you are looking at toe 2300 model
