Can you use this with the hand held foodsaver or does it need to be one of the full size models?

I only have a full size food saver so really can't answer. Sorry. I didn't know they made a hand held one...interesting! I would imagine it would work with both as long as u could fit the hose on...but don't know for sure.

I am not familiar with the hand held FoodSaver, but to use the Jar Sealer you need to have a so called Accessory Hose, which is a thin, clear hose that I can pull from my FoodSaver V3880 model in order to insert it on the top of the Jar Sealer, just like depicted in the picture that shows the Jar Sealer. This hose does not come with the Jar Sealer.

There's an attachment that fits into the hole at the top of the jar sealer. The attachment is a 'nozzle' and tubing. If your hand held doesn't have this attachment then I don't think it will work.

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

If I'm understanding what you want to do, possibly not Virginia, unless there is an adapter for the attachment hose, which I do not have. The hose is made to fit the larger counter top version and will not fit to the mealsaver. By the way, I absolutely love my mealsaver and do not want to be without it.

It works with any Food Saver that has the pull out vacume tube and from what I can find the 4800 series of Food Saver unit's have a pull out tube for use with canisters like this one.

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.

I did not have this experience. I use the FoodSaver hand electric pump. Things to consider: before sealing, make sure the zip is sealed securely (no food particles or debris in the zip lock portion), and press the zip lock firmly against a flat surface to ensure a solid seal.

Danial. Yes, I have a Food Saver Model as well and this is the second time ordering both sizes. I works very well. Down side is that you have re-roll a smaller amount so it will fit inside the unit. Which really is not a big deal and very easy to do. Not to mention ten times cheaper then buying the oem brand or even generic. Good Luck. cga

From what I have discovered, any foodsaver bag can be used in this product. We love it!! :)

I don't have experience using foodsaver accessories with my MaxVac, but that doesn't mean they won't work. I have used FoodSaver bags! I would purchase the vacuum hose accessory offered through LEM if you plan on sealing canisters. If the FoodSaver hose fits, try it out! Either way, I'm very pleased with my MaxVac and would not hesitate to recommend it!

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.

Definitely! I use only Weston Vacuum bags (quart size) with my Food Saver vacuum sealer, and my daughter uses only Weston Vacuum bags (including gallon size) with her Rival Seal-a-Meal. We both like them much better than our machines' brand bags -- plus they are much cheaper.

Your Foodsaver will require a port to install the vacuum hose. It's a small round hole in the top of the Foodsaver. If there is no hole, the vacuum cannot be hooked up. Just as an aside, the Foodsaver jar sealers will work with the small handheld Foodsaver vacuum. I use both every day and have zero problems with them.

Yes, these bags are designed for the handheld FreshSaver units and the attachment that goes on the hose for the heatseal units. The attachment for the heatseal hose is available on the FoodSaver website, not on Amazon. These bags are 'hit and miss.' Sometimes they work great, sometimes not at all. Sometimes they allow a vacuum but lose it quickly or over several days. With these bags, you take your chances if they will create or hold a vacuum.

I Have 6 of this and use it with my Foodsaver Machine, it works great. All of the hose connections are a perfect fit.

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.

Yes, it will work with your foodsaver, But I had two of them and they both cracked with in a month. I will not buy them every again.

Sorry it took me so long to answer...we were out of town for a few days.The FoodSaver has an auto cutter. Lift the cutter (it has a gray slider on one side), place the roll in the "bin", unroll to desired length, and replace the cutter on top of where the cut will be. I hold the cutter down on one side and slide the gray slider across. Easy-peasy!

Hi, my food saver is a little more current than yours but I don't think they change the vacuum system that attaches to the canisters. I could be wrong. As long as you have the tube that pulls out from the food saver to attach to the top of the canister you should be fine.
