Can this model also seal jars with an attachment?

There is a vac hose, and mine came with one marinade canister. I had canisters left over from my other unit that worked with the vac. hose on this machine.

I think that sealing food in jars requires hot packing and good sealing jar covers and a sterile environment. Jarred food is dangerous unless preserved properly.

I've not tried a jar as another person said, it comes with a marinade canister. I also purchase additional canisters picked my cherry tomatoes placed them in one canister vacuumed it 4 weeks ago. The cherries are as fresh as the day I picked them. This is the best model because of the fan.

No, The attachment is for specific containers made for the model as you see in the photo. It would have been perfect but, this model dose not.

I did not get any attachments with mine, however, I do know that there a number of attachments available. I would to ARY VacMaster's web site http://vacmaster.aryvacmaster.com/cgi/ary.wsc/vacmaster_index

With the addition of an accessory ($9.95 when I bought it here on Amazon - and usually shown as a "often bought with this WaringPro), wide mouth quart jars can be sealed with this vacuum sealer. It's the only way we store leftovers now - in glass. One note: the instructions say that traditional hot bath mason jar sealing is not replaced by this sealer, so keep that in mind if your intent was to do away with the hot bath method. That said, I've never lost a vacuum with a mason jar I've sealed with the waring pro. (But I sure have with the vacuum bags).

Yes.The problem was that the seal between the plastic jar and the bearing in the blade assembly burnt out. Unit started making a lot of noise and the jar will leak the liquid.

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

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..

I have reused jars that I purchased food in from the grocery store to vacumn seal and they work great as long as they have a rubber ring on the lid. I have a canister sealer and I put the jar inside and when I release the seal on the canister the inside reused jar seals. Look at video's on YOU TUBE about vacumn sealing they have been very helpful to me.

Yes I have both regular and the large jar sealers. Use 2 lids then take top one off.

From the experience I have with this Jar, I believe it is up to the task. The jar comes with a silicone piece of material that creates a tight seal, also the metal hinge is strong and will keep the jar closed. I have tested the jar with water inside and there were no leakages. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck.

Yes. You need to purchase the attachment, about $12.00. Set the lid on the jar top. A cap goes over that and a tube is inserted into the hole on the cap and connected to the hole on the top, right side, of the Seal-a-Meal. Then you just proceed as if you are sealing a bag. This attachment works great. We use it more than the bags and you can re-use the lids indefinitely. Great if you buy volume coffee. We keep dried fruit, grains, etc.

Yes, it does. I have used my Seal-a-meal to vacuum both the wide mouth and the regular mason jars. You need separate attachments for each size jar.

Yes . Unscrew the screw on lid and then use your jar pop to lift off the sealing lid. Works great!

Yes, I tested a canning jar. It screwed in place and did not leak. Also tested on blender and it worked fine.

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.

Yes, it will work I have this and both the large and small jar lid adapter. You just need to center it on top of the adapter just as you would over the seal area on a bag.

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

There is no way to attach the jar sealers to the hand held unit. I ordered both and found it was impossible to hook them together. I inquired of the company that makes them and I was told that no hand held, battery unit has enough strength to power the jar sealer. You can only use the plug in units for the jar sealers. Evidently the hand held unit USED to be able to be used for this as I know a person who uses hers that way. She demonstrated it to me and others. It must have been redesigned. So now I have some useless items as that was the purpose of their purchase.
