Am I missing something? The vibration is HORRIBLE on the Vortex. This lid makes an insane amount of noise is there a way to secure it?

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

The lid should be pushed down until it snaps into place. Once in place it will not move.

I had the same problem. I ended up sticking those sponge like stickers that you can get from dollar markets. If you don't like the idea, you can put small fabrics inbetween it, it helps with the noise, but they will still end up moving around.

it sounds like the lid is not snapped securely in place. I have not had any problems with mine also are you over filling the cotton candy machine or are the wings bent on the heating unit. Heat up the machine first before putting the sugar in.

Mine vibrates also, I think when it was built it wasn't balanced. I still use it every chance I get. My grandkids love it. But it does shake a lot when it is working. I can't put anything on the tray because it falls to the floor. When this one dies, I will buy another one, probably not the same brand.

I just take off the whole lid off to drink. It is kinda inconvenience. I think they designed the lid like that for keeping the drink hot, not for the shake of drinking. I'm sorry i can't help much... >.<

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.

I would be some what concerned with vibration to some extent....Get a rubber bikini type scope cover for double protection....

Mine rattles. I have been trying to troubleshoot but can't quite figure where it is coming from.

It's noticeable but not the worst I've heard. Putting it up high (be careful, drippage) might block it. We had music and the noise wasn't a problem. Can definitely talk over it. Please be aware that I personally had TERRIBLE dripping problems with mine but perhaps it was a defective item. Best of luck if you purchase!

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours also not make that sound in one direction?

Sounds like there is an issue or a snail stuck inside.. :P No impeller rattle on mine can be heard. Good luck!

I just bought one of these, and the lid has about 1/2" of play up and down. This is ridiculous. Seems like there should be a 1/2" - 3/4" thick rubber gasket between the base and lid. Haven't tried it. As soon as I pulled it out the box by the hand and the bottom started wobbling I decided to look this up on google and if it was supposed to be like that. It is definitely being returned.

Mine vibrates across the counter top. You have to hold onto it to keep it from moving away from the cup under the spout. I have had a different brand that didn't have the problem. It doesn't get hot but it is extremely loud.

I agree! It rattles really bad because the ball mount don't fit snugg. Really weird! Let me know if you find one!

I have not had any trouble with the case cleaner vibrating around. If you would like to mount it to your work bench, I would get longer screws and drill through the rubber grouments. On the wingnut you can go to a hardware store and see if the have a replacement wing nut that have larger wings or something round like a knob with threads in the middle.

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

Not sturdy enough to keep the lid on if you just lean it past vertical and let the lid fall back. Believe me, you'll have to treat this thing like a piece of thin crystal if you don't want it to separate into four pieces right in front of your eyes. Nothing is a one hand operation with it.

Have you tried giving it a good shake and jolt? It worked for me suffering the same problem. Sometimes the lock latch engages just enough to keep the lid down.

Yes that rattling is unusual and probably means the bearing are going bad...sorry to tell you that?
