I just got this. I tried to mount it on my kitchen counter made of 5" porcelain tiles. It sticks for only about 5 minutes. What am I doing wrong ?

Try dampening the tile just a little. This might not work. Tile is very porous.

Very well, I have it mounted on the porcelain tile just below and behind the head. Also the mirror is VERY light (not glass). The real secret to getting the adhesives to work is too dry the tile completely and rub a little alcohol on the area to be applied and press it on hard. They really need a clean dry surface to work well. Any dirt/debris, oils, even from your fingers and they fail prematurely. Hope that helps.

Sorry, I do not have an answer for you. the one that i purchased sticks very well, and I cannot imagine why yours does not. I just sit it against the glass, and push down on the lever, and "bam" it is firmly stuck to the glass....I'm not sure what is wrong with the one you have......

No, this mat is useless. It does not stick to the counter therefore moves all the time. I wished I never bought it.

I'm not sure why it doesn't work. This is the first one that I have tried that does. I have smooth walls in the shower and was never able to get anything to stick for longer than a month. This one has held since I purchased it. Perhaps the suctions themselves are not good? I also cleaned the surface with alcohol and let it dry completely before putting it on. I also have quite a few things in it and it's not showing any signs at all of loosening.

I hung clay pots and just tried ceramic and it stayed. Try to slide the pot upward then it should move down a little , it should catch. Don't give up. You can do it. The pot does not have to have a lip in order for it to stay on. Hope this helps.

It will get stuck randomly. There are slight uneven area in one of my rooms (ceramic tiles) and it gets stuck very often.

If u consider it as a temporary "thing". Try to hang it, and then if all works for 15 minutes, consider yourself lucky! Plan to throw it away on the end of the first visit.

It isn't supposed to stick, and mine never have. I have a Nonstick Frypan and a small pot. They work perfectly.

My surface is ceramic tile.. I make sure it is not wet, but damp seems to be ok; then I press firmly on each corner of the spiralizer to flatten the suction cups...and give it a jiggle to make sure it has engaged and then spiral away. It does not suction up on my butcher block table although I TRIED!!!

Hi, As long as the surface is flat and clean there should be no problem. If the surface is textured or uneven it will not stick. Bathroom tile works fine as long as the suction cup has a good firm grip. One trick is to get a smooth plastic or hard coated small white cutting board and connect it to the wall you use on the floor or bed as well. Hope this helps. Lee

I set a timer and go to a different room. Be careful because it might vibrate itself off the counter. I find that the ingredients stick to the sides so the first 5 minutes or so I scrape them down with a spatula or plastic spoon. Then it seems to work better.

I would think the surface is not clean enough. Could there have been something like armor all on it? I use it on hard plastics, metal and glass and it sticks very well right away. I would try cleaning it with alcohol first.

It sticks really well. I used mine for 2 hours straight and it didn't fail to stay put.

Ok so I will be honest mounting this was a b*#ch. The screws were not long enough and it should have taken a few minutes took so much longer. I did mount it just like it was when I took the other one out. Once I got it in I have not had a problem what so ever. I hope this helps..

I stick the holder onto the smooth glass surface, yet it does not stick well. Should had a hole in the handle, so I can put a string through and hung it somewhere. The holder is useless.

I'm not sure but there is nothing you can do now. I had the same problem. Be careful where you play with it. It is fine on tile.
