I got one as a gift and was wondering if the base (where you put the bonnet on) is it supposed to wobble up and down like it's unbalanced?

Yes, it's the random movement that keeps it from burning circular swirls into the surface you are working on. You will probably find that once you apply a bit of pressure against the surface you are working on, the wobble will seem more natural. If you are uncomfortable using it on a car or similar finish right away, test using it on the side of an appliance where you won't see any damage if there is, in fact, a problem with it.

It moves in all directions, I wouldn't worry about it unless it doesn't work properly when you use it. I love mine! Make sure to get multiple pads, they get pretty dirty if your car is sun damaged.

It does wobble a bit but its sturdy enough to hold on to. I was concerned about it also after it was installed but it is still stable enough to aid with sitting and rising. Hope this helped. I am glad I made this purchase for my husband even though it moves a bit.

Hi. First of all I think I had the lamp shade upside down. The light bulb was showing. My husband turned the lamp shade over and the light bulb doesn 't shoe but now the lampshade wobbles. I have to take time to figure it out. I love the lamp but it 's just not right

No. Mine is free standing and loaded pretty heavy. Haven't had any problem with leaning or tipping over.

Mine isn't wobbly,it is nice and tight. I could barely connect the top with the bottom because they are so snug.

it does and it gets unbalance some how when you move to one side it feels like it tips over

I've never had a problem with mine. I liked it so much that I bought another one. Make sure you have it together tight.

Had it not been for your question, I would have never known that it wobbled, and I've had mine for over a year. I guess all I can say is as long as you followed the directions and use logical and appropriate weight distribution methods, the wobble should not be a concern.

Mine is perfect.! It may not be leveled or some of the srckoos are not tightned all the way.

mine wobbles a bit too. I believe the grinding mechanism is soft mounted to reduce stress on the parts, and that means a bit of movement when working. I don't believe either of us has anything to worry about.

Have not noticed that. Maybe if pushed up on center from bottom?? But there was no wobble at all setting up or in use. I didn't get any movement from center at all. Was used on Berber carpet.

Mine is loaded and fantastic. No sway at all. I actually saw a JC Penny clerk pushing one through the store today and smiled to myself thinking "I own one of those!".

Hi, it is normal for it to wiggle for slightly. If the fitment is too tight, it would be hard to remove and re-insert. It should fit tight enough so that it won't slide around though.

The head isnt wobbly at all. I'm sure you won't have any problem with this figure but be very careful with the wings of freedom logo on the back because it can come of very easily!

I always use two hands, so no, it does not wobble. I can't imagine setting the base down. Would be very slow.

I have not noticed that on ours but have not paid particular attention. I suppose if it was swaying I would have noticed. I have actually also put wheels on my stand so it is easy to move around.

we didn't have this problem. thething we had a problem with was the turning radius of the front tires...without wobbling. They sent us new tires..that eliminated the problem.
