Gives your machine a wider variety of uses.
I purchased the base model food saver vaccum sealer. I previously owned the little battery operated handheld pump used to seal the zipper bags. I like using the quart / gallon zipper bags as they are perfect for packaging wild game. This device allows me to use the zipper bags again.

Poorly designed hose/nipple
The accessory connector hose will not stay in place. In addition, even if it did, it could not allow vacuum to occur since the ends [nipples] are too short. The nipples must depress the spring loaded plunger/sealer which must move to allow vacuum or air to flow out thru the hose. I bought this machine to replace an older one. If anyone knows of a company that will fix a problem or of a machine mede in America, pls post.

Great accessory
Now I can also use the reusable baggies for keeping things sealed up in the refrigerator.

Hand held sealer with hose attached.
Love the fact that you can use the hose with the jar sealer and attachment for the zipper bags. I previously bought additional hoses and they broke. This seams like it will last longer. I bought 3 more hoses with white connectors that don't work at all. Need to send them back.

Some Suggestions For the Very Fragile Connector
I use this with my FM2100. Originally, I thought I had a defective machine. When I tried to seal bags, the vacuum process would begin, but it would not switch to the “seal” process. I went through a long process with customer service with removing and cleaning gaskets, trying other suggestions, and finally I sent the unit back and they replaced it. When I got the new machine, the same thing occurred. I finally figured out the reason the “seal’ process did not begin.
This model will not attain a full vacuum seal on the unit if the handheld accessory hose is plugged in. Because the machine will not sense a full vacuum, the “seal” process will not begin. As a result the hose must be constantly inserted and removed which strains the very weak nipple connector on the hose. Numerous complaints have been made about this connector but no improvements have been made. I have called twice about this deficiency and each time the solution has been to send me another handheld accessory. Their engineers have done nothing to improve or strengthen the design of that connector.
After the latest iteration I tried a different approach. I plugged the new hose in once and left it there permanently. When I wanted to use the unit to seal bags, I plugged the handheld accessory hose port outlet with my finger to make a firm seal. The machine would then be able to sense a full vacuum and initiate the sealing process. I then realized that the handheld attachment has a float mechanism designed to plug the hose if liquid fills the attachment’s reservoir. By turning the unit upside down, that float mechanism will act as a plug on the hose port outlet and provide the necessary seal to create a full vacuum in the unit.
Now I have another suggestion. Redesign the handheld adapter’s Chamber Clip so that the adapter is stored in an upside-down position with the float sealer always resting against the hose port. Operation manuals should be rewritten to explain this requirement.
Unfortunately, even routine use of the handheld adapter puts a strain on the connector’s very weak nipple due to the resistance made by the hose coils and I fear that the connector will still eventually fail even when not being inserted and removed constantly. It still needs a redesign. With the fix recommended above, perhaps the hose can be attached directly and permanently and the connector eliminated altogether.

Plastic Port Insert Easily Breaks
Wish FoodSaver would make the top part only available as it is the piece that breaks easily. The bottom liquid chamber part is available separately, but that piece has never broken, I now own six of those. The top part with hose always seems to break in the port, the plastic connection has broken on five that I've owned. Its getting expensive to replace the entire unit. FOODSAVER: Why do you offer the liquid chamber only but not the top part that is the piece that easily breaks? I keep repurchasing this part because it is necessary when using the bags. My FM2000 fits in my drawer and works fairly well, but this part could be better made.

Does not work on V4860 without modification
I specifically called to find out if this part worked on my wife's V4860, and I was told it would work. I figured there would be some instructions or something, as I did not see any straightforward way to open the skins of the V4860. The unit arrived, without any instructions for installation on the V4860. I contacted support again, and they said it would not work, and they wanted me to send the serial #, etc. My wife uses this thing constantly, so sending it out for a few weeks was not appealing. I ended up fixing the problem by snipping off the old hose at a right angle, soaked the end in hot water for a minute, and then jamming it on to the end of the new unit. After it cooled, it worked. It's not optimum, but it works 100% now, does everything the old one did.
