can u attach the jar sealer to this unit.

I use this all the time to seal mason jars. No attachments needed. Put the mason jar sealer cap on your jar. With no added attachment, place the jar sealer over the port and press slightly as you run it. You will feel air coming out of the small air release hole in front. When you no longer feel air and/or the sound changes you know your sealed. Works every time.

Not as it comes out of the box. If you are mechanical you can make an adaptor so it works.
316265
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.

While I haven't tried it myself there is a review http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-FSFRSH0055-FreshSaver-Handheld-Vacuum-Sealing/product-reviews/B002NGNBR8?pageNumber=2 that says no it will not work.

I have used it and the Food Saver Meal Saver with the adapter. I have even used the manual Ziploc with the jar adapters and the jars have stayed sealed. Make sure jar tops are clean and free of blemishes or chips.

Yes you can, it's not suppose to fit but if you hold it in place it will suction jars. You kind of have to shove the attachment into the rubberized part and make sure it's airtight and hold it there

i think it should work on any jar that it can seal on. it would have to be an almost exact fit for diameter, to fit in the sealing gasket.

Yes however the seal is not that great on mine... I would recommend buying additional buffer/storage solution as I spilled all mine.

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.

This will work on any model that has the accessory feature. Attach the little hose to the port on the foodsaver and the other end to the jar attachment.

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.

Tim, The Tilia Foodsaver replacement hose does work with the wide mouth jar sealer.

I would check and make sure the rubber seal is in place. Mine comes off after each use and I have to reattach it. Also try the dual lid trick. Otherwise mine works fine. Please note if the plastic has a crack, the jar sealer will not work.

I don't know of any way to do that. It comes with a hose and a button that says "canister." I don't see how it could mechanically deal with a jar with a screw-on lid. You may be able to buy a special lid from Foodsaver that would replace the standard mason jar lid and which would accept the vacuum tube. You can check that at the Foodsaver.com web site.

Yes. But be careful with liquids, when using the reusable lid (which will seal mason jar lids): When I sealed a liquid, it sucked up some of the liquid into the hose, and there is no way to remove the hose to clean and dry it (without sending it for repair). Also, no way to fix the retractor on the hose, if you accidently go past the red. this is easy to do, since you have to pull out the cord, in order to get a simple retraction.

Yes, it screws on to the regular mouth jar; it would not fit a wide-mouth jar.
2168955
No. That would be a good use for it. It comes with a rubber seal and the unit is metal.

I think you would have to buy the Foodsaver tube attachment & still am not sure it would work. This is a great sealer, but works best with the bags that it is made seal since it has the "port" to seal it.

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: http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-T03-0006-02P-Regular-Mouth-Jar-Sealer/dp/B000UQ428A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1395016846&sr=8-3&keywords=mason+jar+sealer

First of all, if you have a newer model, this won't work with yours. I have an older foodsaver that only vacuums, doesn't seal, and it works on that. I took the plastic part off of the end of the tube that comes out of the machine, so there is only a long plain tube. You stick one of the ends of your attachment into the tube, (outie to innie). I then use it with the vacuum sealing attachment for sealing canning jars. (FoodSaver T03-0006-02P Regular-Mouth Jar Sealer.) I use it everyday! I later bought one for my son & daughter-in-law along with the attachment tube. This model: FoodSaver FSMSSY0200 MealSaver Compact Vacuum-Sealing System. They could not remove the green & clear part from the tube. It turned out, they didn't need it! The clear part snaps off and the little stem that sticks out fits on the jar sealer. Voila! No need for the extended tube attachment. I also got the big Foodsaver from Costco that seals, vacuums, does accessories, etc. (FoodSaver V4840 Two-in-One Vacuum Sealing System.) The little stem on that also fits the jar sealer. No need for the additional tube. I hope this helps. If this doesn't help, text me at 720-323-8657 and I'll send you pics. I love my system of sealing food, -no more stale, wasted food!

You can however I bought a tool specific for this, it seals from both sides at the same time. Worth the money

You will need to measure the diameter of the mouth of the jar. The seals allow for a little bit of stretch.
