Foodsaver Jar sealing lids; Any good?

[SheilaT.]

I've been thinking of getting a wide mouth Foodsaver jar sealing kit for a while to use instead of buying oxygen absorbers, but as usual, they are not for sale in the UK, so before I splash out a not unsubstantial sum on getting one shipped over from the USA, I'd like to know if anyone has experience with one and how well do they work?
Thanks in advance!

Amazon UK has them, BUT...
https://www.amazon.co.uk/FoodSaver-FCARWJAH-000-Wide-Mouth-Regular-Accessory/dp/B016OL1AB6
The price is outrageous (£56.89 + shipping ~$85 with shipping).

I have not used one, but I think I might try it and let you know.

I have used mason jars with a $10 kit in conjunction with a vacuum sealer and it seems to work fine. I used mine for spices.

That would be most appreciated.
I was going to get one from USA. Those are eyewatering stupid prices for what is essentially a $10 item.

Well I bit the bullet and had one shipped over along with a Freshsaver handheld sealer to go with it. I got both bought and shipped for less than two thirds the price of just the jar sealer I could buy in the UK.
They will both be useful not just for food preserving, but for long term storage of non food items too.

I've read that people who use them are happy with them. I hope you let us know how you like yours.

I really like the attachment to the food saver, but I noticed that newer food savers do not have the right port for the attachment hose that fits over a regular or wide mouth canning lid. I have two food savers where the vacumn works well but the sealer for the bag doesn't. so I am keeping these just to seal glass jars. It really works well I think, great for crackers, cookies, cereal, etc.

I have a Cabelas commercial sealer, and have used the jar vacuum attachment successfully for mainly spices. The attachment here was less than $20. Happy with it!
