Can I use the FoodSaver Bottle Stoppers with the FoodSaver FSFRSH0061-035 FreshSaver Handheld Vacuum Sealer? If yes then Do I need the tilla hose?

The bottle stopper requires the tilla hose if you want to draw a vacuum. Sadly the plastic 2 litter bottles today are not capable of vacuum and will collapse (sides pull in) and soda is sucked up the hose. Works great on glass beer bottles, taste is still good after a few days in the refrigerator. I don't see anyway to use the hose on the handheld unit per their website.I have picked up 3 counter top units at different times (2 for friends) for under 5 bucks each in good condition at thrift stores.

Gloria... I have both the handheld and v2430 Foodsaver vacuum sealer and just tried...sadly you cannot use the bottle stoppers with the hand held saver. Paula

Amy, If you have the entire FoodSaver unit it comes with a vacuum tube. You will love this device and will save you tons of money on vacuum sealing vs. baggies or any other way you try to wrap your items to freeze.

So far i've just used the Food Saver brand of bags. But you should be able to use any bags. I'm not happy with the performance of my Rival vacuum sealer though. It worked great the first few times using it. We haven't used it very often and we are already having problems with it. It's suctioning fine but the sealer does not kick in to seal. We've only had it for around 6 months. We keep the rubber part that does the seal protected so it doesn't dry out or flatten by wrapping it in the original packaging and still it's not working propertly. So, I don't recommend this product.

Definitely! I use only Weston Vacuum bags (quart size) with my Food Saver vacuum sealer, and my daughter uses only Weston Vacuum bags (including gallon size) with her Rival Seal-a-Meal. We both like them much better than our machines' brand bags -- plus they are much cheaper.

The FoodSaver Jar Sealers can be purchased separately. The Jar Sealer fits on your Ball and Kerr Mason jars and works with FoodSaver vacuum sealer systems to store foods and keep them fresh longer. The Jar Sealer is not to be used to replace the canning process and does not replace the lid of the jars. There are two sizes - the http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-T03-0006-02P-Regular-Mouth-Jar-Sealer/dp/B0000CFFS6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412352652&sr=8-1&keywords=REGULAR+JAR+SEALER and the http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-T03-0023-01-Wide-Mouth-Jar-Sealer/dp/B00005TN7H/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412352681&sr=8-1&keywords=wide+mouth+jar+sealer. Depending on your jar size that you want to use for food storage, you only require one jar sealer.

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.

These vacuum sealers will seal almost anything. I regularly use cheap quart zip lock type freezer bags from the dollar store. I cut the zipper part off with scissors put a serving of food in, fold a pleat in the opening and vacuum and seal perfectly.

I am assuming it will not work without the hose. You have these attachments for the hose depending on which of at least three attachments depending on what container you are sealing... Oval (for the ham/cheese canister), this type of canister attachment and there's another for another style for different type of canister. I have another hose attachment that is bright green and clear that I got direct from FoodSaver for $8-$15 that seals the reusable bags... Again, I am assuming it will not work with the handheld vacuum as there is no tube... it's got to have a thing to plug into the canister hole. I am assuming it will not work without the hose.

There is an adapter for that fits on the hose. I saw it while perusing the FoodSaver site under the "accessories" tab.

I hook it up to my VacMaster Vacuum sealer but I think you can also use these with Foodsavers Vacuum machines.

Hi Mike, I use this item with my Vacupack Deluxe vacuum sealer. You can use this with any vacuum sealer that has the air hose attachment (for example: the Food Saver vacuum sealer). These containers are great to vacuum all the air out for storing bread or other baked goods in. Also, I use them to marinate beef jerky. I hope this helps. Ask any questions anytime you need to.

We have a Food Saver vacuum with the attachment that seals canning jars. I just dumped a bunch into some quart-sized jars, shook the chives down until I couldn't get anymore in, and vacuum-sealed them. Word of warning though, pry the top off VERY slowly and carefully when you want to use them or they will fly everywhere when the lid pops off!

I use it with the Food Saver and it works fine. I never head of the VonShef Vacuum Food Saver but I would think it would work with any Vacuum Food Saver systerm.

Can't say for all sealers but they do work well with Food Saver. I've had NO problems with these bags sealing even with reuse over & over.

This works great with my food saver for sealing jars. I do not have a hand held so I can't comment. I do know that most Food Saver brand use the same parts.

Yes. The manufacturer offers an adapter that mates the FoodSaver vacuum hose with the ThriftyVac Check Valve, the black center piece of the ThriftyVac Mason Jar Vacuum Lid.

No. I have and older Food Saver 500 that we have used for years. These bags are "thin" and actually tend to melt through causing seal to leak. Other bags at 3 mil or 4 mil thicker are much better. They work best on our machine. I guess if you have a machine that doesn't heat the seal that much then it might be okay.
