Electric Mason Jar Vacuum Sealer Kit for Wide Mouth and Regular Mouth Mason Jars

I purchased this vacuum jar sealer as an experiment for storing freeze-dried strawberries. I had freeze dried some in the past which had turned soft after a couple of months in some inexpensive, windowed thin mylar bags. After researching the experiences of other freeze drying folks I discovered that strawberry seeds can retain a minute amount of moisture and must have extra dry time (which I had done), longer term storage can't be in thin mylar windowed bags, that is IS permissible and even strongly suggested to use not only an oxygen absorber in the storage receptacle, but also food safe silica packets, AND, that many people were storing much of their freeze dried fruit in mason jars, with the silica, with the oxygen absorbers, AND vacuum packed with a device like this.My husband purchased two flats of strawberries about the time this came in the mail, which I freeze dried and vacuumed into jars with the suggested packets. That was in March. Yesterday (May 27th) I opened a jar and they were still fresh and crispy. The color was still great (I've been keeping them in a storage room with the light off). So far this is working out great!I love the fact that I can open the jar, get what I want out, and then reseal it immediately - so convenient and useful!I also have used it to seal other items in jars to keep fresh - dried beans, rice, candied ginger - the possibilities are endless. My husband is impressed.It came partially charged. Complete charging doesn't take very long. Vacuum sealing a case of jars did take its toll on the battery though. I *might* have left it vacuuming for longer than necessary on many or most of the jars on my first use, which *may* have caused the amount of battery drain that occurred.At any rate, it is a handy little gadget to have. I was about to ditch a BUNCH of jars until I got this and began to explore its potential. Recommended!

Started pickling cucumbers, onions and other things. This is so easy to use and takes all the air out of my jars. It’s keeping the fruits and vegetables fresh in the mason jars. It’s light weight and small so easy to store. There’s really no need for cleaning because it doesn’t touch the food or liquid in the jars. Must have a great battery because I have not yet had to charge it. Great product for the cost!

This thing is amazing, game changer for me for sure. Good quality. Stays charged for long periods of time. Fantastic design. Extremely lightweight when compared to say the meal and seal. Best bang for my buck and it works so well been using it for months for beans and rice and yeast as well as cereal flour brown sugar and a few other dried goods. Seals have not failed and to transition from regular to wide mouth is a breeze. Plus its so small it stores so easily.

Pro - Sealing is quick and easy and I've used both wide mouth and regular mouth jars that have kept food fresh! Avocado sealed stays fresh and doesn't brown and that was a game changer because it proves what it's doing to all sealed foods! It stays charged for a number of seals before getting low and charges up pretty quickly. Con - The regular mouth silicone seal needed cleaning and I've tried numerous times to get the tabs to fit into place flat and they won't go back in properly. I've contacted the company for help and their suggestions is what I've tried. Unfortunately this all happened after the return date expired or I'd return it. It works GREAT but the seal not sealing properly makes the regular size unusable.

I've had this for about 9 months now and I can't believe I didn't own one of these sooner. I have years of experience with canning. I've owned and used a vacuum sealer for over two decades. This device is a must have! It is so easy to use and it actually works!As for food saving and food storage, it's great. It pulls a strong enough vacuum on the jars I've used. It really does seal the lids shut. Note: I have only used this for dry goods. I have yet to have a seal fail. So far, I have sealed rice, oats, nuts, cereal, dehydrated fruit, dehydrated onions, dehydrated garlic, pumpkin seeds, flour, bread crumbs, dry beans, dog treats, croutons, and likely a few things I am forgetting.

When I got this, it was for vacuum sealing fresh made juice so that I could save it for an extra day. I used to can so I have the jars and rings. I also vacuum sealed fresh organic blueberries and kept them in a jar in the fridge. Don’t wash them until you are ready to eat. I would take some out then re-vacuumed the jar each time using the same lid. Works for juicing as well just as long as you don’t bend your lids and they are kept very clean. I also vacuumed fresh brazil nuts to keep on the shelf. So far so good. I’ve used it at least 20 times and it’s still on the first charge. Can vacuum large pint jar lids and large mouth ones.

Best prime day purchase ever!! So easy to use. The seal it creates is great. Very good quality, sturdy and looks nice. Not expensive at all and really works!

It works well. Haven't tried a lot of stuff yet but is pretty easy to use. On thing I tried was saltines. I buy the snack size packs. Even though I eat them up fairly fast, they still get "not as crisp". I live in the south where humidity rules the day. the pack fits in a wide mouth pint jar. Keeps them fresh and crispy.
