What is the canister only button for? Are there containers that work with the accessory port?

Yes, You can order accessories. There is a small plastic hose that goes in that opening. The other end attaches to the top of a container. After putting your product in the container, you can vacuum out all the air and the container will become air tight. This would probably be used for liquids like soups, etc.

I believe, as an additional accessory, you can purchase vacuum seal canisters for this unit. I have only used it with bags. The canisters due work with the accessory port. Hope this helps.

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 canister mounts permanently to a wall. The hose is long, so you only move the hose to the desired locations.

As everyone else has stated, its just the permanent lid with the rectangular open "ring". You will use one of your current plastic receptacles (in theory the last one you will ever need, I've been using the same one since I purchased Perma-Lid). As per the instructions the plastic grocery bag lines the receptacle so that it can be used repeatedly and make the waste easier to remove. I never had too much trouble with the old lids falling out, but everyone is right the Perma-lid solves that problem. Again in theory this saves you from ever having to purchase anymore containers (which aren't cheap either) or at least allow you to use the same receptacle for a very long time.

Yes, it has an accessory port and the tube comes with it. The jars themselves don't come with it so you'd need to buy those seperately.

the canister I use is a Ronson multi-fill canister with the basic tip (no adapter)..It is just a straight tip..

With the button on top of the container. You need a different type of container to use with a food saver.

My unit came as a special from Food Saver. The link below has a picture of it. It's called a container adapter.http://www.foodsaver.com/accessories/130527-000-000.html#start=7

Open canister. Tip air inlet flange (plastic flap with circular opening) toward the front. Slide the cardboard piece attached to the bag into the slot on flap, lining up the holes. Tip flap back into position with bag attached. Spread out bag slightly and gently. Close canister securely. I've had no issues - works perfectly.

I don't believe you could add a canister. The company themselves were extremely helpful with ours . They went above & beyond to make sure we were satusfied

Docking port ... lower right corner back side... conveniently located yet very stealth

I had a little issue with getting the canister on at first-make sure the bottom of canister is in place then firmly "click in place"

yes, but you still have to turn it off on the canister also. have 2 spots 2 turn on and off with every use

I think the only difference is that this model has an accessory port that you can use with containers.

I have not seen a container option for it. Mine came with a pick up hose and nozzle filter end is all.

The base of the canister should unscrew from the long body of the canister (canister:housing of filter) . At least that is how I got mine open with no tools except maybe gloves, and likely leather garden gloves to get a better grip.

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.
