Is the lid-handle on the top of the unit supposed to be loose?

No, its supposed to be gentlty snapped down. If the water keeps boiling, and doesnt shut off then you know the top is not pushed down all the way.

Sorry to hear that. No we haven't had any problems at all with the handle. We do have a little water leaking out the top of it if that top knob comes loose, but no issues with the handle

Mine is somewhat loose, but I think that might be part of the design to let some of the steam out. It really works great.

I've had mine since December of 2014 with no issues of being loose. I do not adjust it very frequently either. It pretty much sits in place and works very well so far. If anything, it's still as stiff as day one.

Hum, not sure. I do the hole in the other end, but not sure that is the problem. You are putting the lid on, right? If so it might just be a defective unit.

I simply tightened it by twisting handle & had no problem. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Mine fits snugly. I do notice that if the bottom screen, etc., is not tightly screwed to the lid stem, it isn't as tight a fit, so you might try checking that. If that doesn't work, I would return it as defective.

Are you sure you have it properly locked in place at the handles? That's what keeps it from sliding.

It's a loose fit when the strainer is not in there. If you are pouring, you'll need to hold the lid in place.

No, mine fits pretty snugly and we have had no problems with it being loose.

mine is always a little bit off center, never can get it just right, but it's not all the way around by the handle... that would be frustrating!

I've had 2 of these. My newest one, the lid is definitely tighter, but still a one handed operation. If it doesn't get easier quickly, I'd get a different one. Is the seal glued on properly? Maybe it slipped??

Our handle does not jiggle, and yours shouldn't either. I would return for replacement.

Not on mine, the top is sealed to container, so I'll have to buy a new one when empty.

Didn't have that issue but I do remember having to really push and lock the handle into place. Hope that helps.

Yes, but I took it out. I think why is because when opening the lid it keep falling out. I've had it for awhile and still using it.

The lid is loose when on top of the pot. You need to use the provided stuff sack to keep everything secure. Although it adds a little weight, the sack is kind of nice as it has a sleeve in it to hold a spork securely.
