Why cant I get a straight answer as regards the vacuum hose attachment for use with Vacuum sealing Ball Jars? And why do I have to go to some strange site that wants my invoice Number and $6.00?I'm getting ready to say screw this and just use a Brake Bleeder.

A quick check at the manufacturers site at http://www.westonsupply.com/Weston-Vacuum-Sealer-PRO-2300-Stainless-Steel-p/65-0201.htm says NO it does not come with an attachment for vacuum sealing mason jars and canisters. HOWEVER, you can look here on Amazon for Weston Vacuum Sealer Canisters and find RT Vacuum Canister Set 1.5 Qt and 2 Qt OR use the manufacturers site to find and acquire them.

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

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.

according to product packaging it requires one that has the special attachment. However I read in reviews were you could use a hand pump like the ziplock vacuum bags that you manually pump to remove the air and it did work on my regular jars I don't have a wide mouth jar currently to try mine on but since it works on a regular mouth jar if you my ziplock hand sealed vacuum it should work in the wide as well. It was not hard to seal just about 4-5 pumps and it sealed the jar without using an electric sealer.

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'.

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 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.

Yes the hose port and hose accessory will seal mason jars as long as you have the jar sealer to put on the jar and attach to the hose. Can't help you with warranty questions, that is a question for the manufacturer. Also that was not a question, it was a statement. By the way, I haven't had to use the warranty. My game saver bronze is still working great.

Did it work for you? I have the same issue, broken back side of the canister vacuum. Was thinking of using this epoxy to fix. Would appreciate if you can share your experience,ThanksDevinder

Yes it seals mason jars, but you have to buy the attachments for the jars. Basically you put the plastic attachment on the top of the jar with the rubber ringed top, push the button, and when it's done you just remove the plastic top and the top is down tight. I use it all the time. This is a good example: FoodSaver T03-0006-02P Regular-Mouth Jar Sealer

I've had some problems with the quart jar sealer. I've tried using two lids but that doesn't work well either. I would appreciate someone telling me what to do.

Hi S. This product comes with five Wide Mouth Mason jar lids, that have air valves attached to them (the black object in the center) that only allows air to flow out the Mason jar. The white vacuum pump in the photo fits the air valve (called a check valve) and lets you manually vacuum out the air. You can release the vacuum by pressing on the side of the check valve, as shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJbVzBciQcY&#8203; Regards, Tom Cannon

Most of the foodsaver models allow you to seal before it vacuums all the air out. Be sure to get a model with the drip tray. it comes with a good instruction book. Ours is much older and we love it.

just the vacuum itself. this product comes with the gauges, hoses and lo and high pressure fittings. the vacuum itself, depending on what it comes with, should come with any adapters if needed. I ordered the robinair vacuum and it fit this mastercool set nicely.

It does not come with the hose. I had one left over from a Foodsaver that I used before getting the Weston. I've used Foodsaver bags, Weston bags, and other bags and not seen any difference as to whose bag I use.I cannot speak to mylar bags. I've never dealt with them.Other than buying gaskets teflon tape to replace what wore out after years of use, I've never had to deal with the company.

There is a simple way to seal without suction (vacuum). The sealer bar is in front of the vacuum chamber. Simply put bag edge on the sealing portion in the very front. Otherwise the law of physics apply, and it real doesn't matter what sealer you use. It will suck liquid or marinades out of the bag. There is no seal only button. Please for you others, I will not respond any more!

Good question. I really do not know the answer. After all my griping, Food Saver sent me a new "seal kit" and I installed it. It lasted for one bag, and then it would not draw a vacuum. I recall reading in the instructions what it's cycle time was, but do not remember. Sorry.

Depending on the type of compressor you buy, you made need a different fitting in order to attach the Badger hose to the regulator/moisture trap. For a great, affordable compressor check out the tc-20 or tc-20t from TCP global. Com. You can pick up the difference t connection couplings from any hardware store for about two bucks. Make sure to get some Teflon tape to wrap around the connections to prevent leaks. Hope this helps.
