New to canning.. actually never done it before.. is something like this worth it, and does it actually work?
I know it’s not for everything canning, but it looks legit from what little I know about the process for dry food preservation..
Thanks in advance.

This is not canning anything. It will not preserve food any better than pushing all the air out of a plastic ziplock bag and should be viewed in the same context. As the website says, it is for dry goods (like sugar, uncooked rice, potato chips, etc) that you want to store in the pantry, or fresh food that you want to store in the refrigerator. It only removes air from the container.
I like this for buying bulk nuts for baking (walnuts mostly) and saving them in separate 16oz jars so they don’t get that stale taste as fast
Very handy when you have half an avocado to store. Remove the air and store in fridge, lasts a few days without browning.
It works fine for preventing avocados and apples from turning brown. I don’t use this one but another brand from amazon.
Great for preventing brown sugar from lumping up.
I also use it for extra dry spices that don’t fit into my containers.
However, it’s not related to canning anything.
We really need to make a sticky about these things.
