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

Ours - Model VS107 has an accessory port, but we haven't used it. It's done very well with sealing bags.

Yes. I tested mine and the seal is complete. I find this accessory to be of good quality and functional. Have had no problems and use it often

Actually there is a vacuum adapter, part # 587843-00 available for this that could slip in, in place of the standard bag it comes with. The part should run about $2.50 or so, I just found it online at www.ereplacementparts.com under the dewalt/b&d; section. It fits a standard vacuum hose like your typical household vac, I think it's smaller than your typical "shop-vac", though I'm aware of adapters for shop vac hoses to down size them and that should work. I use our old hose vac with mine and it works passably well. Any sander is going to throw stuff off no matter what unless you've got a dust table setup.

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.

Hi, yes it comes with the vacuum port on which I attached a Fein vacuum hose. I think is the regular size for any vacuum hose attachment but you can always use some adapter if need arise. The machine needs to work in conjunction with a vacuum if one wants to work safely and efficiently.regards

Don't know about sealing jars, does not come with a hose. Have not tried Mylar, I understand that's a whole different system, but do not personally know anything about it. I buy bags online from several different merchants and have run thousands of them thru this sealer, never had a problem despite using different brands.

You get the unit itself, a connection hose for sealing jars (but no jar sealer attachments... Just the hose). You also get a few sampler bags of various sizes... Seems like they even tossed in a roll out two of bags (not large rolls though). That is it as far as I remember. It is a great machine though, and the only foodsaver with a lifetime warranty

We used to have a model which attached to our own vacuum but this one, as you are aware, is a canister model. All I can tell you is that we are pleased with this unit and it seems to have plenty of power and suction. This is a great deal more convenient than hauling out the regular vac to hook up to. Good luck.

Good Afternoon Frank, Thank you for contacting us regarding the compressor. The only accessory we have is the owner's manual. There is no hose. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact us again.

It has been my experience that the 1# canisters do not plug up the orifice. The hose on the 20# are the problem. They give off an oil that plugs the orifice. The filter is a must to use with the hose. I even refill the 1#ers with the 20#ers and have had no problems with contanination yet. I have been using buddy heaters for 15 years now with and without the hose.

Yes you can. Just put the adapter that came with this unit on the bottom and connect the plastic hose. I don't know if you will achieve as good a vacuum as you would with one of the regular bag sealing units but it can be done. I can get pretty good results with other plastic container food saver units using this small sealer. The best answer is to go ahead and give it a try and if it works for you, do it.

It comes with the adapter for the lid of the container, but you need the snorkle hose from the foodsaver that goes to canisters and mainator

Sorry, but I have no idea if there is a difference. I figured either regular mouth jar sealer had to fit. I chose this one (from Goodman's) because it was the cheapest, including shipping. Still no problems with it at all. Hope this helps.

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.

Lots of brands will work. Weston bags (available from Amazon & prime eligible) work very well and are pretty inexpensive. Of course, if you mean to ask "plain bags", then no- you need ones designed for a clamp vac sealer. But the Weston are about as good as you'll find.

You can order the jar attachments separately. There is one for the wide-mouth and one for the regular-mouth jar. One other buyer figured out how to adapt the accessory attachment to operate the jar attachments. Call Customer Service for help.
