Awesome, thanks everyone for the replies! Kerry Beal, can I ask what model Henkelman do you have? 

 

I mostly have the Bormioli Rocco jars, which come with a one-piece lid, like this. Am I correct to assume that if you put these in, lids loosely screwed, they'd work the same as two-piece lids? 

 

The question on sealing without a vacuum was because I think it'd be useful at times to be able to for example cut a bag in half to make two smaller ones, simply sealing the cut sides, putting stuff in and pulling a vacuum as usual. So I suppose that works with both machines.

 

Still curious if anyone has views on the pumps being potentially problematic due to "smallness"? And does VP215 have the soft air release? Amongst any other observations you all might have!

Mine is a Gastrovac. Bought used from a closing deli.  No soft release or other gases.

 

Those jars should work - might be a struggle to loosen.
