Question Shaeba....Can you put dehydrated stuff in it and not have to refrigerate? Does the vacumn pack make it able to put it in the cabinet instead??? 
Huggs everyone, Kimmie

I'm actually not 100% certain on that Kimmie. I've mostly been using it for dry goods like rice and flour and sugar, as well as things I was planning to freeze. The fruits and veggies I currently have are freeze dried and I ran those into vacuum sealed bags as well, but I know those don't need refrigeration. Sorry I'm not more help on the dehydrated issue. I need to do some investigating.
As for the hose... you still need to scoop things into bags. What those hose is for is for the large cannisters. You scoop everthing into one of the canisters then put the top on, and vacuum all the air out of the canister with the hose and it seals it. Works well for large amounts of things like pasta and rice.
