What is actually suppose to spin??? Ordered one as a Christmas gift and the actual canister spins NOT the white wand inside.

When I first plugged it in after putting in my first layer of ice and salt, the whole canister and ice salt mixture all turned. That was the first time I have ever seen that happen. I continued to put more ice and salt in the bucket then the canister stopped turning. What is suppose to happen is the white beater inside the canister is suppose to do the turning, scraping the sides as it does, mixing frozen mixture with liquid mixture until eventually it is all thickened to the point the mixer can't stir it any more. The motor stops and it is done. If you put the right combination of ice and salt it should take between 30 to 40 minutes. Don't be afraid to put on too much salt. That is really important!

The canister is supposed to spin. The mixer stays put on the inside so the ice cream pushes through it.

I would ensure that the paddle is firmly attached. Also check the position of the top of the canister. It has two grooves on either side. Check the position. I hope this works.

If you contact these people, they will be able to connect you with the correct wand. They were very helpful for us:cleanfreaks@builtinvacuum.com or just call this number: 1-800-997-2278

No, the brush doesn't spin and that's the only thing I didn't like about it. Where the wand is connected to the cord, that is flexible so the wand will swivel. But just the brush itself, does not. Hope this answers your question.

Linda: Sorry to hear you're having difficulty. Here are a few suggestions: 1st - Make sure the yarn is able to flow evenly so once you start to crank the winder, you don't have to stop. 2nd. Make sure the longest metal arm is in tightened down and is in a straight line to the hank of spinning yarn. 3rd. When you begin to crank, continue in the same clockwise direction, never stopping. 4th, the yarn should come off the hank at the same level as the winder, not below it and must flow smoothly. I found if I used my dominant hand to crank and my non-dominant hand to help guide the yarn from the "spinning hank", it worked better than just cranking the winder. My first attempt I had trouble with the crank, getting confused as to which direction I was spinning. Made a mess. I assume you are using something for the hank of yarn to spin on while you crank. Won't work without that. Hope this helped you. If you don't have an "umbrella" for the yarn, here's a suggestion:http://www.amazon.com/Stanwood-Needlecraft-Wooden-Umbrella-Winder/dp/B000IG1I8O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1388088237&sr=8-2&keywords=yarn+winder

Hold the base with one hand and rotate the lid with the other. If that doesn't work, you might have a dud. Ours works just fine.

The barrel rotates as you manually twist the curling iron. I bought this last Christmas for my daughter who is a cosmetologist. She loved it but unfortunately it quit working a few months after Christmas. Nobody would stand behind the product. Paul Mitchell wouldn't honor the warranty because "it wasn't sold by a professional" and Amazon directed me to negotiate with the private seller. After a few months and several emails the seller finally got back with me saying that I should lie and tell Paul Mitchell I received this as a gift and didn't have the receipt. I wrote it off as a lesson learned. If you really want this item....it might be best to go through Paul Mitchell directly.

Strange. The "frothing wand" should spin when using the cafe latte setting--just as it does in the heat & froth setting. If it's not it may be defective.

Be sure one of the wheels on the bottom is not locked up. That could cause it to spin in one direction. also check that the hose connections spin freely otherwise it will jam up the cleaner. Hope this helps

I made the same mistake. You have to put the spinner in the container. It is the spinner that revolves magnetically from the motor and that is what causes the vortex

If it's spinning non stop, either the gyro isn't set or the tail motor is running to fast or to slow. I've gotten tail motors with the wires soldered on opposite of what they are suppose to be . The white and blue were reversed and the tail blade runs clockwise. It's suppose to run counter clockwise, if your looking at the rear blade side!

But in which direction do you place the batteries. On the slip of paper it shows both batteries with - end up. However this is not working for me. Is this the correct way, or did I get a broken wand? Thanks for your time!

The white basket that is inside the blue bucket spins when you step on the pedal. I returned mine because the pedal action was not smooth and the pedal sometimes stuck in the down position. I would advise that you spend a few bucks more and buy the Hurricane spin mop. I have purchased two of the Hurricanes, one for me and one for my girlfriend.

Never had any issue, the plastic ring spins incredibly easily for me. You may want to try spraying some WD40 and don't tighten it so hard.

You self-wind the appliance. It spins slowly, repeatedly, depending on how many times it is wound.

Sounds like you might have some popcorn stuck under it so it won't turn. I clean my unit after every other use and I will frequently find popcorn pieces lodged under the center portion. Take a toothpick to clean it and then see if it will turn easily by hand. If it turns easily by hand, but won't turn when you have it on you should contact Great Northern Company.

I join you in the confusion and thank you for the clarification. Where is the photo of the REAL Spin Around product?
