Electric Mason Jar Vacuum Sealer and Accessory Hose Compatible with FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer, Vacuum Sealer Attachment Kit for Wide & Regular Mouth Mason Jars, Jars Sealing Hood with Electric Vacuum

I live in a very humid part of the country. I use it to seal in freshness of dry goods like crackers and cereal. Works great!

I bought this to seal mason jars of freeze dried food for storage. I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. It is easy to use, seals quickly, and stays charged longer than I expected. Just pop the cap securely over a lid on the jar, hold the vacuum pump on top, push the button and it gets to work. After it gets suction, you don't have to hold it, it just does its thing until you press the button to turn it off and remove it. I've been leaving it for 15-20 seconds for small jars and about 30 seconds for quarts and so far everything has sealed in that time.It worked just as well on a partially filled jar of carrot powder as it did on potatoes, parsley, and candy. That's just a few of the things I've sealed and had no problems with any of them.I had been using the hose attachment to my Food Saver to seal jars and there's that annoying bit where you have to attach and remove the vacuum hose each time. I've had to replace that hose because the part that goes in the hole snapped off from being attached and removed so often. No danger of that here and no need to align anything as long as it's sitting over the hole in the cap when you push the button. This kit does include a hose attachment for the Food Saver if you want to use that for any reason.A bonus for me is its compactness - takes very little storage space. It will fit easily in a drawer. And it comes in a sturdy little box (pictured) if you want to reuse that to store it.I saw a bad review complaining that you can't use this for liquids, but you would never use a vacuum jar sealer for liquids because the liquid would suck into the vacuum, so don't be deterred. This is a handy little thing and will meet your dry sealing needs. The seller should change the description, though, because it does list several wet foods as options and that is not valid.As an avid freeze dryer, I will be using this almost daily so I will update this review if anything changes. For now, it's my new favorite freeze drying tool.

We totally love this gadget!! We now have all of our dehydrated food and stored goods sealed up and safely stored.We call our vacuum sealer "gizmo". Gizmo holds a charge like forever! I have yet to charge it and we've been using gizmo since September. It is so easy to use too! I have found that if the jar has even a minor flaw in the rim, gizmo will not seal it. That is a good thing! So, the bad jars get thrown out!Gizmo is quick and easy to use! You have your items sealed and stored in no time! The quality of this item appears to be top notch! All said...Gizmo is the one to get! You won't be disappointed!!
