Mason Jar Vacuum Sealer and Accessory Hose Compatible with FoodSaver
Quick take
This jar vacuum sealer kit turns regular and wide-mouth mason jars into vacuum-sealed storage containers, using either a compatible FoodSaver vacuum sealer attachment or the included portable hand pump. It is best for people who want to reduce air exposure to help keep pantry items fresher and make jar storage more consistent. The main caveat is that the FoodSaver attachment only works with specific FoodSaver models, and vacuum sealing does not sterilize contents.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Works in two modes, FoodSaver attachment plus included manual hand pump for travel or when you do not want to use the machine.
- Includes both regular-mouth and wide-mouth jar lids, plus extra lids, lid opener, and hose connectors for setup flexibility.
- Uses food-grade silicone pumping hose and BPA-free, non-toxic materials, designed for airtight vacuum sealing on jar lids.
- Buyer feedback highlights easy use and tight lid seals, with users noting it helps extend the freshness of jar contents.
Cons
- FoodSaver compatibility is model-specific, and some FoodSaver units are not supported.
- Vacuum sealing reduces air to lower spoilage risk, but it does not sterilize or kill bacteria and viruses.
- If you only need one jar size, you may end up with extra lids you will not use.
What buyers think
Across the available reviews, the most consistent themes are that the hand pump is straightforward to use and effectively creates the vacuum seal on mason jar lids. Multiple buyers also mention that the kit is simple, with jars sealing tightly and food or herbs staying fresh longer. A smaller amount of feedback points to a learning curve when using the attachment with a specific vacuum sealer, but overall the kit’s purpose and operation were described as working as expected. It is also notable that reviewers emphasize what vacuum sealing does and does not do, specifically that it helps reduce air but does not sterilize contents.
Who this is for
Choose this Mason jar vacuum sealer kit if you want a practical way to vacuum-seal mason jars for everyday food storage, especially when you care about reducing air exposure. It is a good fit for:
- People who already own a compatible FoodSaver vacuum sealer and want a jar-sealing attachment option.
- Anyone who likes meal prep or pantry organization with jars (dry foods, sauces, and similar items), and wants a consistent lid seal.
- Home cooks who sometimes store food offsite, like at a picnic or while traveling, and want the included manual hand pump.
Who should skip it
This kit may not be the best choice if:
- You have a FoodSaver model that is not on the supported list. Checking compatibility before buying is important.
- You are expecting sterilization. Vacuum sealing is for removing air, not for making jars sterile.
- You do not plan to use mason jars in both regular and wide-mouth sizes, since the bundle includes multiple lids for both.
Key features and how the system works
Two ways to vacuum seal, machine or manual pump
You can seal mason jars either by connecting the kit’s hose to a compatible FoodSaver vacuum sealer or by using the included portable manual vacuum pump. This dual approach is useful if you want vacuum sealing at home, but do not want to rely on the machine for every situation.
Jar lid coverage for regular and wide mouths
The bundle includes wide-mouth jar lids (86 mm) and regular-mouth jar lids (70 mm), plus extra lids for both sizes. It also includes a lid opener, designed to make it easier to work with sealed jars and reduce frustration when lids are tightly sealed.
Airtight vacuum seal for storage
The system is designed to create an airtight vacuum seal on the jar lids, with the goal of helping protect contents from air exposure and moisture. The included hose is made from food-grade silicone, and the kit uses ABS plastic material, described as BPA-free.
Compatibility, the part to double-check
The FoodSaver-compatible version of this kit uses a specific hose setup, and it is intended to work only with certain FoodSaver vacuum sealer models. Before ordering, verify that your exact FoodSaver model appears in the supported list. Models listed as not compatible include FM2000, FM2100, FM2500, FM4800, FM4900, FM5800, plus VS0160, VS1130, VS0100, VS0150.
Pros and cons, with buyer expectations in mind
Pros
- Portable manual vacuum pump expands use beyond your vacuum sealer.
- Includes the core setup items (connectors, lid opener, and both jar lid sizes) so you can start sealing without piecing together parts.
- Buyers report it seals jars tightly and is easy to use for extending the freshness of jar-stored items.
Cons
- If you do not have a compatible FoodSaver model, the machine-attachment portion is not the right option.
- Vacuum sealing is not a substitute for sterilization, it helps reduce air to lower spoilage risk.
Verdict
This Mason Jar Vacuum Sealer and Accessory Hose kit is a solid choice for people who want mason jar vacuum sealing with flexibility, FoodSaver attachment when you are home and the manual hand pump when you are not. It is especially appealing if you use both regular and wide-mouth jars, since the bundle includes lids for both sizes. Just be sure to confirm FoodSaver model compatibility and keep expectations accurate, vacuum sealing helps reduce air, it does not sterilize.
