does this maker rotate the paddle or the canister? (I have one that rotates the canister only, but I think it would be better to rotate the paddle)

The can rotates in the sub-freezing ice and salt mix and the dasher "paddle" scrapes a thin layer of frozen ice cream off the inside of the can. that's how it works. It would not work the other way around you would need a lot bigger motor and the can would not stay as cold.

No, it will do it's thing, just make sure you put it in the upright position when loading the ingredients. Also I find , after cleaning it each time, the paddle does'nt move freely and has to be loosened up by moving it back and forth or with using a little olive oil each time I use it.

Love, love it. Regarding the paddle, I use a chopstick or skewer to very gently extract the paddle. Those slices around the center will have a small hole and sometimes to avoid this, I make the dough in the machine and bake in a loaf pan in the oven. I highly recommend this machine along with Lora Brody's book Bread Machine Baking that has specifically formulated recipes for this size machine - perfect every time!

I have not experienced any problem with paddle and had to look at my machine to understand your problem. My paddles sit above the bottom of the breadpan by the elevation of a small white plastic washer. My paddle, in fact, doesn't even come in contact with the bottom of the breadpan. You might contact manufacturer if this washer is not installed in your bread maker. Hope this is helpful.

Jayne, the first time my wife tried taking the canister off she couldn't get it turned either. Once I removed it and snapped it back in place a few times she was then able to remove it herself. I hold the vacuum handle in my left hand, with the snout pointing away from my body, grab the canister with my right hand and turn it left, or counter-clockwise. It only moves about an inch and then you pull it towards the front of the vacuum - towards the snout -to remove it. Hope this helps.

If you grab the cone shaped canister and turn it counter clockwise it should come loose. You might try using a rubber glove or a damp dish rag or washcloth to get a better grip.

It rotates. I have to take care not to rotate it right out over the counter at times. :) But I love the clearance between the sink and the faucet. It lets you put large pots and pans under it for filling. The side sprayer still tends to smell a tad plasticky when I first turn it on, but it fades once it's flushed.

If I'm not pressing on the top part (opposite end of the part that submerges in the liquid), it won't rotate. So there's no button, just press the top and let go when you're done. Hope this helps.

I have never known it to rotate. The vibration is what creates the engraving. It takes a little getting used to, but if you can ground an elbow on a surface and place the item to be engraved on a towel (or something to help absorb the vibration) you can achieve really great precision. It is a bit noisy, but I love the product!

The hose rotates 360 degrees at the place where it connects to the canister if that's your question.

As the other reviewers stated it is for getting the paddle out. HOWEVER, if you are using the machine for dough, you can get the paddle out right after the dough is mixed. If not and the dough is allowed to "dry" it is really difficult to remove! When bread is baked, often times, the paddle just falls out with the bread removal.

It is normal for the paddle to collapse easily. The maker spins the paddle both directions. In effect, it raises and lowers it as needed.

It should have come with a wrench shaped to fit the canister. Use it to turn the canister counter clockwise. If it's been a while since you had it off then it may be very tight like mine was. I had to hold it tight & bang the wrench a bit to get it started loosening the last time i cleaned mine, but never had an issue before that.

When I had a bread machine I was very happy not to have the paddle come loose in the bread. Maybe if you grease the paddle well before putting in dough it will release the bread more easily and you won't have to pull it from your loaf. If your paddle has a nonstick coating this may work.

Thank you so much for posting. I also got mine at a goodwill! Love this maker though. Would buy a new one but this one still works great!

It doesn't rotate. Mine doesn't even make sound anymoreIt broke shortly after we bought it.

I've had similar issues with a completely different bread maker and I think it's just something you have to accept about bread machines. My mom suggested pouring at least some of the oil over the paddle posts *before* putting the paddles on to make them come out more easily. However, this means they'll still be in the bread.
