I used this for the first time yesterday for lemonade. It damaged the inside of the dispenser by actually making a premanent itched line. Anyone else?

Yes, mine is totally dulled and scarred by the juices and fruits I've put into it. Very unappetizing in appearance. I want a refund!

I used the unit for the first time yesterday, and I also had trouble with the clamp lever initially. It required a HUGE amount of force to loosen the first time. Clearly their a bit overzealous in their tightening department at the factory. I literally have a bruise on the palm of my hand this morning. Once I got it loose the first time, it's been fine ever since then (because I don't overtighten it).

I have this problem as well, even with it watered down for a foaming dispenser. I try to just rinse the tip of the dispenser when I wash my hands so it doesn't get that hardened clump on the end.

I was disappointed with this glue gun. Mine gets clogged easily and then the glue leaks back inside the and will not come out when I push the trigger. That's probably what happened to yours, too and some connection inside is clogged.

Yes, I did. I then pushed the plastic piece that acts as a seal. And it looks like I broke it. I am not sure if the suction that occurs is normal. My son was using it, and he liked the bottle. Then I drank from it one day, and the suction was a bit annoying. I thought I had to push the top piece in, and then pop -- I broke the seal.

I had this too. I ran 2 full containers of just water through it. It's fine now.

Not at all. It works great. I just refilled it for the first time. Hopefully I did it right. But so far this unit works as I was hopeing it would.

There is DEFINITELY some sort of coating, teflon or not, on the inside of the water dispenser. After about 6-8 months of use, parts of the coating somehow erodes, which is why I'm looking on Amazon to see if others experience the same problem.

I have had a the same thing happen, only mine didn't happen until several months after use. I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do, but I just "pop" it down with my hand kind of hard and it starts. As Scott said, it started doing that after I didn't get it sealed and it leaked. So I am guessing that there is just some "gunk" in there causing it to stick. If you wouldn't mind, please post what you find out from customer service. I am still able to use mine, but it continues to stick occasionally.

No problems with ours! Maybe you just received a one off "lemon". Try again...my kids love ours as do I. So great for mixing powdered drinks...and for "remixing" when juices settle.

yes, it completely messed up. haven't even used it, straight to garbage. it's just a thin plastic film.

I placed the nozzle on and turned it until it felt like it had reached the tightest position only to notice it still felt loose and dribbled liquid on the kitchen counter. I proceeded to tighten further until I couldn't tighten anymore and that seems to have stopped leak. I suggest manufacturer of container go to manufacturer of nozzle and come up with a more secure combination.

Yes, I did. I cut it open with tin snips and poured it into another container. That seems to happen a lot anymore with soaps, etc.

I am guessing you mean the tab for filling the dispenser? Just lift off the tiny "lip" down below the handle. Okay sorry--seriously, it could be defective---for every product out there there is at least ONE that is defective. Just return it & get a new one---make sure you mark it as "defective"----this is a really great product--I have had mine now for 9 months & use it way more than the average person as I am a chef by trade---I will be buying another one soon b/c I have pretty much worn it out even on HOT pans---awesome product & you won't be sorry!

Hi there, I used this product and initially it seemed ok but to be honest, I have purchased this so many times from other places over the years but this particular one has ruined my skin...which has never happened before. This batch made my skin very itchy and dry and the peeling hasn't happened as it usually does. Maybe it was the batch that I purchased...not sure really.

Thanks all for your help and advice. I called 3M and he said I should return it to the store. Sounded like the urethane had hardened in the tube. Returned this afternoon. Got a new tube with a current lot number. Haven't opened it yet. Here's hoping.

I tried once and had a splatter issue. Then had a dye run on the test line so I've dipped since then.
