The narrow-mouth jar sealer works with FoodSaver vacuum sealer systems to keep goods fresh longer. Great for
liquids, fragile foods and dry goods like brown sugar, spices, dried fruit and coconut. Sealers create a vacuum seal that
locks out air, the enemy of freshness. Air is quickly and easily removed, maintaining long-term freshness. (Wide-
Mouth Jar Sealer shown.) Not to be used for canning.
I've used the "wide mouth" sealer that came w/ my original unit for many years, but have wanted one for the "regular" sized lids. I didn't realize that size was made until I recently checked the web-site. It came quickly and I started using it the next day. It works very well, just like the larger unit. Thanks for having both sizes available!

I ordered this for my long term food storage. Anything that does not require refrigeration can be vacuum sealed either in jars or bags. With this jar sealer I can now preserve things in jars that are not suitable for bags. The product is well made and seals well.
I already had the wide mouth sealer and never had one problem sealing jars. However, it has been a different story with the regular size. I get very aggravated trying to use it. I have changed jars, used new lids (instead of re-using old ones) and still have problems. I have had less trouble using 2 lids, but it still gives me problems sometimes. I was also told to put the lids in boiling water (taking the pot off the burner when the water boils) and letting them soak. This also seems to help but I can't count on getting the job done every time. I never had one minute of trouble with the wide mouth one so can't understand why I have a problem with this one.
