Does yours spin apart from the handles? Ours is so stiff it doesn't really. Want to exchange if we just got a bad one- would like to hear from others.

When I am holding both handles I can spin the marble part in the middle. Hope that helps you make a decision.

ours spins fine, it is nice and loose and functions as it should, my only complaint with ours was that when it came it was packed the greatest and so the corner on the marble stand was broken off, but other than that it has worked fine for us, my wife has used it quite a bit from rolling out pizza dough to crushing peanuts for a pie. if I were you I would exchange it for another one as it shouldnt be stiff.

Yes mine spins. The one you have may be bent during shipment rendering it stiff.

I bought one for my daughter and myself. I have not used mine as of yet, but the only complaint my daughter had was it leaves black specks in her dough.

Mine was very stiff at first and I was ready to send it back but I kept trying and it finally twisted and extend. I really like mine and used it a lot last winter.

Mine are fine. I've only had them for a few months but the handles look like they did when they were new. I don't put mine in the dishwasher very often and that might be why they are coming apart on them if they put them in the dishwasher.

Never had that issue with mine. I know it came with packaging to prevent it from slipping during shipping - might have slipped into the mechanism. Wish I could help more...

Didn't have that issue but I do remember having to really push and lock the handle into place. Hope that helps.

No. My handle was always loose and couldn't be tightened all the way. It's junk. Pass on it or send it back! It's defective!

Wooooow. Sorry to hear that. Mine is still holding up well and it was purchased w/a deep discount because it was slightly damaged. Good luck in your quest for answers.

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top. **UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.

I wish I could help you. I never had that problem. There usually is a clip on the handles to keep them together. Good Luck.

We returned ours. Handle broke. Too much trouble and not enough reward. If fact, we have had two of this type and have returned both of them.

I had the exact same problem! I finally just pulled the handle straight out with pretty strong force and it came out. Good luck.

That person may have a defective one. Mine works just great and the pin definitely rolls independently of the handles. I highly recommend it!

Just finished putting the bike together and am having the same problem. The seat is ridiculously loose, it rotates around and flexes up and down as I'm riding. It almost seems like it's intentionally built this way. Have either of you been able to fix this problem since you posted? Or are you just dealing with it? Thanks

I've had mine for awhile and the only problem I've had is the rubber on the handle starts to move around on the end near the hole for hanging---now, the rubber has come loose from the metal, and has come off. the tip...still works, but they need to improve that design somehow...there is no bending involved,however, since it is one piece of aluminum ...Who ever claims "bending" is hands down WRONG....

I had no problem! I hold the handles and shake, and it slides right out. Of course, the deeper it is into the bag, the harder you have to shake. I found it easier to gradually pull it out a bit as the bag gets fuller. It's also easier if you crush the leaves down every so often as you are filling the bag. I start out with it on its side, and as it gets full, place it upright to finish it off.

I just took apart mine. There's two screws on the sides for the bottom section, two on top in the handle and one on the bottom on the bottom section. Takes those out then just force it apart. It's hard to force apart, but that's the only way.Sorry for the year late reply
