Hi, thanks for the video. Why did you have to get away with the settings "15"? Was that because it's a mason jar, or because of the size of mason jar, or because of the contents within jar? Also, can you do this for liquid goods like guacamole?
Hello! The amount of vacuum time is relevant to the size of the jar and for the size of jars that can fit into the chamber of the USV20 a time of 15 seconds or less should be sufficient to vacuum seal. When vacuuming a jar externally, just follow the instructions to vacuum seal a jar externally and the machine will stop once all the air has been extracted. I hope this helps! Thanks!
What is the risk of running the vacuum cycle for longer than 15 seconds? Does the mason jar not support stronger vacuum pressures? Will it shatter? I've seen another video here on UA-cam where something like that did occur with another brand's chamber sealer.
I just received my USV20 today. If you have small enough mason jars that can fit more than one inside the chamber, will the machine vacuum seal both at the same time?
Hello, this does not directly replace canning with the heat sterilization but it is a great option or supplement for vacuum sealing dry goods and other products that don't need the sterilization, to extend the shelf life. Thanks!
We'd be happy to troubleshoot this more with you. Is there any chance you can send a short video showing both instances getting the E1 error to info@avidarmor.com?
If a mason jar imploded at that low of vacuum time, it could be for a variety of reasons. Please ensure you are using a tempered-glass jar - we recommend Ball brand. Also, check that it has no blemishes or scratches, which can cause weak points in the jar. Hope this helps!
I need this in my life.. So versatile

My vacuum seal button doesn't seem to work very well. Do you have to press it or just hold you finger on it?

Yup!
Awesome! Thank you.

Can we use it for sealing jams?
Thos is awesome, thank you for taking the time to do this video, much appreciated.

I wonder how this compares to canning? Great video btw 😊

Is there a topper for jars that are not wide mouth?
We don’t have one at the moment but it’s definitely on the list of potential future products! Sorry!
What is the biggest jar you can do in the machine on it's side?
How long you vacuum for mason jar?
Will that seal soup as well?
Yes, absolutely! That is one of the greatest benefits to using chamber vacuum sealers!
Great presentation!! Thanks!
Thank you!
What is the E1 code I get when using the jar attachment?
Hi Lynn! After attaching the accessory hose, are you holding the auto vac/seal button down for a few seconds to engage the accessory port function?
@@Avidarmor yes until it kicks on. Still getting an error code even with trying to seal a bag.

Looks similar to Anova Vacuum Chamber
Or does the Anova machine look like ours ;-)
5 seconds in, mason jar on its side, imploded my jar

Id change seal time to zero, since you aren't sealing a bag.
shouldn't you lower the seal time or just remove the seal bar.
