Is it true if you put veggies slower machine won't vibrate/walk around? Also how hard to replace "arm"?

Yes, softer juicy stuff like a pineapple needs to be put in rather slowly to avoid vibration, while harder stuff like carrots or beets can go in as quick as you like. I have replaced 2 arms, the first one took about 10 minutes as I figured out the best technique, the second time it was like 1 minute because I knew what I was doing.

Yes, go slow and steady on the vegetables and it won't vibrate and walk around nearly as much because it keeps the shredded vegetables equally distributed in the basket. The arm is not difficult to replace once your orient yourself. The company provides printed instructions that are also available on-line at the Omega site.

In my experience, sometimes the machine walks around sometimes it doesn't. It doesn't matter what I am putting in it. It may have something to do with pulp displacement.

I had the same problem! It vibrates out of its level selection. I simply tied a rope from the selector lever to the opposite handle. Done deal!

Yes, mine is the same way but its not a problem for me. I just turn it around gently and presto.....problem solved. Its works great so such a small problem is not worth time and energy.

I have never had that issue. Faulty machine unless there is too much ice cream in there and somehow the vibrations are causing it to move??

I think you should send a request, too. I also asked if the manual and booklet were posted online somewhere - that would be faster than mail. I was able to juice some carrots, celery, cucumber, and romaine but don't know how to disassemble to clean. Very aggravating.

To date this thing has been great and yet to have any issues. Im handicaped due to a storke a few years back leaving me with one weak arm. So this gets tossed around a bit. Best money Ive spent for a kitchen item.Bit has been staying in place with no issues. Good luck.Hope this helped.

Put it on something!! lmao But I built a lazy susan for mine. My butt is a perfect 12 inches off the floor, and it can swivel side to side for easier embarkation for my computing pleasure.

If I was walking slow I could use a mouse. I am very uncoordinated. My treadmill was by a wall so instead of using the mouse by the laptop I made a stable surface to the side and used a wireless mouse. Was much easier and could go a tad faster.

Wasn't a problem for me ; ) My 28 year old son did it. In my case I had him not install the arms and then pull the control panel wires out so I could use the treadmill under a desk with the control panel sitting separately. That whole thing took him maybe an hour. He's an engineer. I think it would have been quicker to set it up traditionally. Box is heavy!!

You will need to adjust the tension in the arms where they pivot. You should be able hold one part of the plastic ring and turn the other. This should loosen/tighten depending on what direction you turn it. Edit - Mine is very smooth and easy to move. Anyone could do it. You may not have to hold part of the plastic but turning that does change the tension.

Yeah that took some getting used to. It only glides one way... otherwise you'll get black plastic slivers in with your potatoes

We had the same trouble. It took about 5 tries to get them in the right position. The position of the arm assembly is critical when the center nut is secured. Sounds easy, but drives a person crazy. I really don't know what happened , we just kept changing the secure position until, VOILA! they were in sync. Sorry , wish we could be more helpful. If you can , pick a Saturn mechanics brain.

The base goes up and down (only about an inch or so) from side to side. The machine has a speed control that makes it go faster or slower--your choice. While it's vibrating, you can add to your workout by doing squats, arm pumps, even sit on it and do leg lifts. Several variations of exercises are shown in the operations manual. Good workout of joints and muscles, especially for those that can't walk very far like me.

Hi Try to place the breadpan so it will fit the bottom of the basket to the rotor of the machine, having aligned the side clips. Then, push it and don't expect it will go smooth, use some "gentle" force. If is not latching perfectly, the blade will not be rotated properly by the rotor. Scott has a good advise and if is not working ... return it! I am still not happy with cycle 1 and 2, I am using it mostly for cycle 9 (dough) and bake it in the oven. Not sure how useful is my opinion, hope it will help!

It was likely overloading the motor, I love my Kitchen Aid mixer but I have been beyond disappointed in the food processor. I tried to make peanut butter and it couldn't hack it the motor kept stopping. I had a cheapy $40 food processor before this one and it was better than this. Good luck, have you had any luck trying to slice veggies without them all getting stuck up in the lid?

The arm is automatic. You don't want to force it into any position. Try resetting it by unplugging it from the door. Just shutting it off doesn't force a reset.

I donated mine to a rummage sale to benefit the local animal shelter. I couldn't get it to adjust tension right, there was no incline, and it was way too small to run or jog on. I was intrigued by the manual aspect, but now use our heavy duty electric powered one when weather forces me to exercise indoors.
