Just bought this and it doesn't stay open. Can you please advise if this is a defect.

Mine stays open, so it may be a defect. I love it and have nothing bad to say about it.

Mine has a small hole near the top, but not on the top. I believe that it should be open.

Hi. I have never had that problem. Apparently something is stuck or broken. Sorry, and good luck!

I think you should return it and have it replaced. I ordered two and did not have that type of problem.

It stays open even if you don't open it all the way. You cannot however lock it into the open position.

First try a tiny bit of oil or WD-40.If it's somehow welded shut or won't move at all, return it for a new one.It's supposed to open a few inches, as in the picture, not all the way.

Mine doesn't have any play in it. Maybe there is some type of defect? It might be worth it to do an exchange on it....after you hear from other purchasers to see if any others have the same problem. Sorry I could be of more help!

Well for me it's somewhat difficult to open. Maybe with constant opening and closing would help.. I hope this helps you.

I haven't had a problem with mine - have had it for a couple of years now. Sorry can't be of more help...maybe just a defect?

Can't help you friend. The instruction that came with mine , stated the lid is to remain open during operation. Sorry.

Mine didn't click but opens pretty smoothly. Did you check for any stuck packing materials? Good luck.

Don't remember having any issues opening it. Maybe you have a defective package.

I would say yours is defective. Contact Amazon and request another one. I believe theirs a contact number you can call for Amazon to contact the seller for you.

I have not had this problem. I would think that this is a manufacturers defect and that the product should be returned.

Mine is a gift so it hasn't been opened yet. Thanks for the warning. I'm hoping mine works like those who commented earlier.

I'm sorry to hear that but I don't have that issue with mine. I'm very pleased with the way my machine operates. Maybe check to make sure there are no clogs in the cover opening.

I have not had this problem (yet). The reason that I bought this model was that the write-up claimed that the lid was "easy to open". I'm disappointed to hear that you are having this problem. If you do get it to open, apply the silicone o-ring lube to the threads also. This will help prevent them from seizing in the future.
