Any ideas how to prevent the bubble shield from rattling & making noise while the machine is on? What exactly did you use, so I can order it? Thanks

OMG, the shield is unbelievably loud. we put little tabs of the thick double stick pressure tape all around the underside of the rim of the bubble. We obviously left on the peel away plastic on the one side of the tape(the side that comes into contact with the metal). unfortunately I can't post a photo here but they were little tabs going all around the rim, I would say every 2 inches. it pretty much completely eliminated the noise. I will try to post a picture in the item description in the next 24 hours because I don't have the machine here.

Our machine ran pretty smooth not rattling hope this helps. We made over 600 cones of candy so far.

I bought this bubble because reviewers said it worked with the Vortex, but sadly it does not. If you look at the specs the Vortex is 20.5" and this bubble is 21". So that small difference means that it is too large, does not snap into place, and instead vibrates making a VERY loud sound. We couldn't even use it the noise was so annoying. No human can listen to that for more than a few minutes. :(

I have not had any issue with the bubble shield rattling. I ordered the recommended bubble shield. Make sure it is in correctly. Once on correctly, it should be almost impossible to take off. I can't really get mine off because I am afraid It might break. I just remove it with the stainless steel bowl and give it at all a good hot water rinse for cleaning , dry it and then let it air dry completely before re-attaching it to the base. So, the answer is that it may not be on completely or correctly.

I honestly didn't get any air bubbles in mine. Just make sure that its on right and you should have no air bubbles! ^.^

Hello there! This issue has been fixed. This purchase is for the Chauvet B-250 Bubble Machine with 2 gallons with Bubble Fluid.

I went to the cell phone store and had them install it on my phone. Before he put the shield on my phone, I observed the person spray the display with some kind of lubricant. Frankly I do not know what it was. Immediately after he peeled the plastic protector from the shield and carefully placed it on the moisturized display. He then used a plastic edger maybe 2 or 3 inches wide and worked any/all bubbles out. I suppose I could buy a plastic edger and find out the spray they used at the store. But then again I'm glad I took it to the cell phone store and just had them do it for me.

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

Make sure both pumps on top are working. They turn on independently every 6 seconds or so. Also you can use tongs or chop sticks to make sure all bubbles are off jellies. They do bunch up everyonce in a while till other pump kicks in and separates them;)

I haven't tried what you've tried-taking it apart. I just clean it with water, but I haven't taken it apart. At least yours makes a noise! It seems to me like the sound gets weaker and weaker until the thing stops working. I was surprised mine actually turned on today on the first attempt.

We have actually experienced the same issue with the banging sound. It isn't consistent from use to use or even within one session. It doesn't appear to alter the performance, but it is certainly annoying. It isn't clear what the cause is so I'm hoping it isn't causing internal damage to the machine.

I had the same problem until I read the instructions again. You have to soak the bubble wall section in water for 15 minutes or so before turning on the air pump for the bubbles. This lets the material swell up enough for air to escape.

Hi it doesn't vibrate, there is a off and on button for the machine to form the bubbles . Hope I answered your question.

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.

We didn't either until our grandaughter showed us how. You have to hold it longer. It makes a whooshing sound and keep holding and it will make a big loud buzz. It sounds a little scary but that is what you have to do to get the bubbles.

No whistling noise on mine. I'm guessing you have one that may be defective. If you used the washer that came with it, I'd try pulling that out first.

What kind of noise? Perking noise, bubbling? TThere's air steam type sound, but I only hear that from same noise. Perking ill here down hall if I'm trying to listen for it.Where's upstairs? Room right over room percur is in? You may hear it?

I notice air bubbles by the top but not the bottom. I honestly haven't noticed it though until I saw your question. Not sure how to combat it though unfortunately

C. Brooks, thanks. Your suggestion about tape worked. So obvious I didn't even consider it! I received two replacement units and one had a big bubble that peeled off with tape, but the other had the film perfectly placed again (like it shouldn't come off) and it wouldn't peel off easily even with tape. I hope these players work as well as whoever put the film on the screen.

I didn't hear anything rattle. Just when we move the unit further away from the phone the music will skip. But Lepow customer service is pretty awesome, after I posted my issue, someone called me right away and sent me a new unit. You should update your complaint and maybe someone will reachout. Good luck Ramiro
