It rattles loudly - there's something heavy inside, that if I shake or invert the iron, makes a loud banging, moves around inside. Is this normal?

There is something wrong. Send it back. Mine did the exact same thing, plus it had a dent on the underneath plate where the numbers are printed.

Mine did that too from day one. The box it came in was damaged and I assume that is what caused the weird noises. It wasn't worth the time and money to ship it back so I just used it until it started giving me uneven heat. Then I junked it.

The last time I used my iron, I could hear something clanging around inside. My iron is about a year old and has not had heavy use.

Mine has a soft rattling sound when I shake it firmly (I just checked)--and it's brand new, working perfectly.

It is loud but I wouldn't call it a rattling sound. Mine works great There is a small piston driven by a small electric motor that pumps the air. I think you are hearing the piston moving.

hello , I will agree with you . Don't sound correct . I checked mine . no debris rattling inside .

no. it's not normal. something is loose in the speaker/broken inside, maybe a piece of wood from the speaker and that might be what is moving around. nothing should be moving around inside the speaker box. however, how is the sound? do you hear any crackling? any funny noise? anything out of the ordinary?

I haven't heard a loud creaking noise. It rotates pretty smoothly with a reasonably guiet operation. Sorry

I just looked at mine. I noticed that I also had something rattling around inside. Sounded like a small piece of plastic. I saw no easy way to open. It doesn't affect the operation. I'm going to leave it and not worry about it. It's probably just something loose from the manufacturing process.

No it's normal. Need to make sure it's full of sugar, it's self balancing. I have 2 machines they vibrate a lot

We have two of these, and have never had that problem. We have found they are very sturdily built and work beautifully. No rattling or any other problems.

I purchased Dec 2011, my unit has a clicking, but it happens only when I move the camera around, like shaking it or more like when it's rocked side to side. It sounds like something is loose inside, like a small screw. It happens all the time, even when the camera is turned off. If I didn't know of the issue, I may not have really noticed, so, not a huge issue for me. Camera works great nonetheless and I still love picture and video results.

I have noticed ,the base rattles when the seat isn't attached when I don't have the car seat on the base inside the car and I am driving around with my older kids and the baby isn't in the car. My husband installed the base so I'm not sure if it rattled like you say yours is doing.

I wouldnt say it "makes you insides shake" but it gets pretty loud and stay clear without distortion. My wife uses it in the kitchen while cooking and we have a hard time balancing her music and my TV in the living room so it's pretty loud! It's an awesome little speak.

Definitely not normal and will cause undesired rattling noises.I would return it.

It's noisy. It vibrated a lot. I live in an apartment and I didn't want to disturb the neighbors. Now this thing lives in my closet.

No rattle here. I would return it before it gets worse. And a refund will be harder to get the longer you wait!

The one I had (and returned) did not rattle at all. I suspect yours is defective. One comment not picked up by the "Reviews" is that it's not easy/quick to release it from the window compared to the redline because of the position of the release button. Lot of deign/eng flaws.

It is not noisy at all. As far as rusting goes, I have only had mine for a couple weeks. I don't think it will rust. It is really pretty and spins quite easily. Great fun to watch!
