I love the size of this unit compared to the standard one. The vacuum sealer itself works great. However, the jar sealer kit (the one with 2 gray ends on the hose) doesn't seem to work with this unit. The point where the hose should plug into the sealer is just loose and there is no suction. I can't find any documentation of what attachments, or hose, is supposed to be used with the compact unit. A little frustrated that I can't use my attachment.
