I have a hard time finding free containers around the house. They need to be able to handle over 15 inHg vac, so they need a good seal and have thick plastic that can handle it.
But I have a container on the way that's made for another purpose, that can handle I believe 36 inHg vac, so that should work.

I found a few around the house that can handle up to 20inHg. Kirkland's instant coffee for the 3.6L, soap pod container (like Tide) can handle up to 22inHg. A large mayonnaise plastic jar can handle up to 18inHg. The kimchi container can go as high as 22inHg. All these larger ones are 5L size. My "free" containers
But man, 36inHg. That is one tough wall container. Try to keep the new accessories total to less than $50 if you can. I try a budget of $30. So far, so good.

I have both professional and budget solutions/idea's.
We will see what happens when the parts arrive.

Now I understand the containers you are referring to. I have nothing like that at all. Where I live we use paper for containers where we can.
How much vaccum pressure can the big one hold?
It looks like it has really soft plastic.
I tried this (picture below), but the plastic was to soft (= very stupid idea). Of course it was.

All containers have hard plastic walls, including the caps. all tested to be 18inHg at minimum, and 24 at max before the lid cracks. No implosion. Just crack.

Okay. That is awesome.
Can't wait until all the parts get here, and I can connect everything.
