I bought this, plugged it in -- and nothing. Did anyone have a similar experience, and is there a way to make it work or do I need to send it back?

I know it sounds silly, but make sure , if in US, that the setting for voltage on the handle is at 120V. If on 240V or not on either completely, it won't work. In US you will high and low speed. If in 240V environment( the rest of the world) you will have just 1 speed. "Low" is high.

Mine worked immediately. Perchance is the voltage switched to the opposite curent?

Did you make sure there was power to your outlet for another appliance and check to see that the voltage is set for the USA?

Me to, I thought it was just me. I just unplug it and then plug it back in. I repeat this process until it works, usually I have to plug and unplug a couple of times. Annoying. Dan

Send it back before your 30 days are up! The same thing happened to me. It did not work right out of the box, but I didn't get it sent back in time.

Mine worked fine. If you don't see a light inside the unit when you plug it in, either the unit is defective or it not connected properly.

My advice, as mine did not work. Take your machine to a store, and test the device before you buy. Make sure it works, first. Greg

I only had to plug it in. Try it in 3 different locatoons. If it's still dead, contact the seller.

Hi Ken, honestly this thing is awful. Mine didn't work out of the box. I'd recommend you return it if you can.

Sorry I can't really help you. Mine worked fine. I also don't use it much. Perhaps return it (pain I know). Good luck. phil

Unplug it for a time and plug it back in. If that doesn't work it sounds like it is defective.

Sorry for your problem. Mine has worked fine with no problems. Send it back. May have gotten a bad one.

I tried to plug mine in and use it to respond to this question . Unfortunately mine is not working. Return it for another as the other customers have suggested. I will troubleshoot to see what may be happening on my end.Good luck.

I didn't. I just plugged and it worked. I think this is the way newer operating systems work. I remember older OS you had to download the latest drivers to get it to work.

I plug mine in and it all work just fine. Not sure. Recheck your wire hookup.

I plugged it into my wall outlet and it works fine. If it is not working plugged in, something is wrong. Mine works perfectly and I am very happy with it. Perhaps try taking it around the house to see if maybe the outlet is functioning properly.

I just returned mine to Amazon, as it failed to work, right out of the package. It never did work, and a lot of people are saying that. Buy a different one.

I'd say you got a dud. I LOVE mine. I think you'll find a bad one in most electronics. Hopefully you can exchange it.

I had the same problem. Even after getting it to work I could rarely get it to work again without a ton of frustration. I returned it to Amazon a week after getting it and bought a different model that works
