Would I be able to seal regular and wide mouth canning jars with this machine?

You can order the jar attachments separately. There is one for the wide-mouth and one for the regular-mouth jar. One other buyer figured out how to adapt the accessory attachment to operate the jar attachments. Call Customer Service for help.

I haven't tried this but my guess would be it will not work. The size difference is to great to form the seal around the jar. If you try it let us know.

Yes, you will need wide mouth jars because the special lid that comes with the kit fits on a large mouth jar. JN

Yep. I use them on the four, eight and sixteen ounce jars. The only ones that need the wide mouth lids are the 16 oz wide mouth jars.

Yes/ I use the wide mouth lids and covers I purchase at my local hardware store in the "canning" section.

No, it doesn't. I tried in numerous ways to get this to work but the jar sealer requires a port which this unit does not have. I really, seriously recommend you DO NOT buy this hoping to use it for canning jar lids. If you call Foodsaver directly and ask about this, they will probably offer you an incredible deal on their smallest unit (FoodSaver Mini) which does this. I took them up on their offer and have been very happy with it for a year. I now store most everything in the wide mouth jars.

The regular mouth converter ring comes with it, I haven't seen anything for wide mouth jars.

When it come to mason jars, all that matters is if they are regular or wide mouth jars. These lids fit regular mouth jars. We love them and the rubber seal makes liquid spill proof.

Yes, it will fit nicely on a wide mouth mason jar. I think you will want bigger than a 1 qt. jar, though.

These canning rings are designed for the wire bale glass jars, but just to be sure I did try it on a wide mouth Mason canning jar and it did NOT fit. There are photos I took in the 'customer images' that show them on a jar and measurements of the jar and gasket. Good luck.

I don't think they would - the Tattler lids are much thicker than the metal canning lids, and the Weck lids are thicker yet. The sealer is designed for standard metal (disposable) wide-mouth canning lids - like Ball or Kerr. The lids can be re-used, however - I've been re-using the same lids weekly for a couple of years now. update 11/18/13 - I just received a set of wide-mouth Tattler lids, and I tried one with the sealer, and to my surprise, it DID work. The lid stayed in place, just like the metal ones.

All you really need to know is: Do you have "Wide Mouth" or "Regular Mouth" canning jars. Then buy the size you need.

No would not work with regular mouth jars. I did try and it is to big unless you use a funnel... but that would be to tricky to pour, everything would go sew saw.

Yes you will need a wide mouth jar .I was lucky I had one from canning . Phyllis

The regular mouth will NOT fit wide mouth. A regular mouth sealer will fit a regular mouth jar and a wide mouth sealer will fit the wide mouth jar. Glad you asked!

Yes, you can use a VACUUM-type sealer that sucks all the air out of the jar -- I do it all the time. Food Saver® brand does it very well, as long as the unit is capable of sealing 'cannisters'.
