I am so sorry I cannot help. I bought my food saver and have not used it since.

Yes! I have used it for about one year. I use this exact system with the necessary jar adapter (which you do have to buy separately) such as here: FoodSaver Wide-Mouth Jar Sealer This vacuum sealer + the jar adapter + wide mouth mason jars. I can make salads on Sunday and have crispy salads for 4-5 days by sealing them this way. Saves money (I'd never use a whole head of lettuce otherwise), saves the environment (glass mason jars will last forever, just sometimes buy new lids). Enjoy. This is a great system for leftovers or planned-ahead meals. Yes! I have used it for about one year.

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.

This is my second Foodsaver, an upgrade from my first one bought via infomercial. It's fabulous. I've used the first one to seal other types of bags, but I have not tried it with the new one. However, I can tell you that you can seal without using the vacuum function first. So it will probably work just fine.

IMHO, if moisture is in the sealing area... it will not seal. the "trick" is to get your food into the bag without wetting the area to be sealed. e.g. use a much larger bag and fold the bag down so that the sealing area will be dry when the food is inserted. Food saver has a pricey bag "designed" to help avoid the problem- I do not know how well it works.

It is designed to work with a vacuum sealer. It works well on my foodsaver and my Cabela's machines.

It will vacuum seal a mason jar lid if you use it in conjunction with the FoodSaver Wide Mouth Jar Sealer attachment which is about $10. See Salad in a Jar video on youtube.

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.

No. I have and older Food Saver 500 that we have used for years. These bags are "thin" and actually tend to melt through causing seal to leak. Other bags at 3 mil or 4 mil thicker are much better. They work best on our machine. I guess if you have a machine that doesn't heat the seal that much then it might be okay.

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.

I use with a Foodmaker machine - don't know anything about the seal a meal machines.

I'm not sure what you mean by "can sealer", unless you're referring to the type of machine used to seal a lid on all-metal cans. If so, then no you can't. These glass jars are intended for canning foods using either a water bath method or pressure canning method.

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'.

Hello Patrick. This works perfectly with thin plastic film but the foodsaver bags are too thick for it and it may wont cut them properly.

Hi John, yes, probably. I bought some vacuum rolls by mistake. I used my sous vide bag sealer and it worked fine. I'm guessing that your food saver machine also seals bags by melting the plastic.

No - According to the company (I contacted them 3/15/2011). It works with the more expensive heat sealing type FoodSaver machines - the ones with a special "port" - Not the FreshSaver. If you read the comments on my review, I address it there. Unless the company has a new version of this machine (I don't think so) - the FreshSaver will not work with the lids. It works with the FreshSaver ziploc bags & deli containers. This machine is meant for short term storage - not canning or freezing long term.

The FoodSaver Bottle Stoppers are designed for use with FoodSaver Vacuum Sealers. We have not tested them with any other brand sealers. We would advise checking with the manufacturer of your sealer to see if they would be compatible.

The jar sealer has to fit snugly over the jar to work. Wide-mouth jar sealers work on the wide-mouth jars. Normal sized sealers work on the normal mouth jars. They are not interchangeable.
