Worried about the vacuum base. Will it really stick? Tks bp

Works just fine. I've even run it through the dishwasher and it still works. A little water on the rubber and pressure for suction as you move the lever and it works well.

I'm wondering why you couldn't go ahead and hit the button to vacuum and seal then, when it's gone as far as you want it to go, hit the 'manual seal' button. I've done that on my Foodsaver machines. I'll have to check when mine arrives today (yay!). This wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me anyway, but it's worth a try if you use yours a lot for just manual sealing. One of my Foodsavers vacuums pretty fast and I can still get to the manual seal button in time, before it crushes the item. I seldom have the need to do that, but you might try it.

It shouldn't be sticking... I would call the manufacturer. They should be able to tell you how to fix it or send you a replacement part!

Yes, I have absolutely no problems with it sticking. I am very happy with the purchase and will buy one again when / if this wears out.

It's not releasing because the vacuum isn't complete. you have to sometimes push down on the cover to get it to seal.

This should not be occurring; it should pop back out. You're creating a vacuum somehow. Check the lines to make sure they are not kinked or plugged.

I'm sure it will loosen over time. We have an earlier Eureka model and the down side was that the handle release gave out early making it difficult to stand up the vacuum when not in use. I would prefer your problem to mine.

i don't think so because i was never happy with the vacuum as a whole, i hardly use it. i went bac k to my old vacuum. i tried to return it but was "too late" by a couple of days. very disappointed

The vacuum on the top when you first get them can be really strong. Try using a butter knife and wiggling it between the top and the rubber seal. After you wash it and replace the seal, you won't have the problem again.

I read the same reviews but had no problem at all with the tank to base seal. No special tools. Of course, just don't 'power tighten' the bolts - or you'll crack the porcelain. I installed two of these appliances in my FL home with no problem. I used the new rubber floor seal (rather than the wax) and was VERY pleased. Well worth the additional couple of bucks. Love the toilets - they work every bit as advertised. Take your time, follow the instructions and you should have no problems. Good luck.

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.

Mine came off easily and the residue came off with warm soapy water. If its that sticky on yours you can always try a drop of goo gone that you can pick up from home depot or Lowe's. I only had an issue with one pan but after a few scrubs with dish soap it came off completely.

You may want to check your filter out and backwash it. there may be some debris in it, i.e., leaves,trash, foreign material. The kreepy does need sufficient suction pressure to function properly. Good luck.

I use the on board hose that came with the vacuum. It does not pull out easily and wants to go back to the storage position if not held firmly.

I'd love to be able to help u but I haven't used it yet. I would guess it maybe vacuum holding it on. Not to b funny but have u looked in the owners manual? It may have some helpful hints.

No, the floor brush never has fallen off. I've had several canister vacuums over the years and never, ever, have I had that problem. Yours must be defective or else that particular make and model is defective. Hope this helps.
