Both cans leaked out at the base of the tip . They didn't refill the collar. The first can I had did fine. Was this a "BAD LOT" that I had gotten?

Im sorry I am not able to help you, I am a consumer just like you and have not experienced that yet. You might want to contact the actual manufacturer on this one. Sorry.

Vendor I bought from placed tape on the top cap to prevent spillage, so you just purchased from inexperienced or bad seller. Contact them to complain or ask for refund

Yes, that happened with mine, though it was a great can opener before that happened. I do submerge mine, though I don't let it sit in dishwater. I'm going to try using oil on the gears per Jeremy M's comment (thanks, Jeremy) and see what happens. I think contact info is in the reviews on one of these USA-made openers; that will be next step.

Collar comes with a pressurized can of the citronella used to refill the collar - it's easy to do. My dogs didn't need many sprays to convince them to not bark, so probably won't need another can.

I always hold my hand under the cap after I fill it. Some water drips but it's water that was left from being in the base prior. Water shouldn't leak out from inside the tank through the cap. It should be sealed unless something is pressing on the stopper in the middle of the cap. You have to be careful not to press on the middle of the cap while carrying it back to the base.

Mine clogged almost instantly. It no longer sprays. I have only bought one can so whether it was a defective unit or a trend I cannot say.

You're certain it's from the power cable? One time i experienced the same, however, it wasn't the cable but the seal between the canister and the lid. The rubber seal (which is just a rubber square) was twisted and not sealing correctly :( Check this, otherwise send it back for a replacement. That does not sound good if the power source is leaking:(. Good luck. I've had great luck with this product, i hope the same for you

It may have corroded if it was in place for a long time if no teflon tape was used when it was installed. I would try some WD40 squirted around the gage and let it sit over night. Keep in mind that if you strip out the threads when you remove the gage, you will need to buy a new canner. May not be worth getting a new gage!

I had one that did the same thing that I finally had to throw away and buy a new one. Thankfully they don't cost to much. Anyway's just be sure the cap is screwed on tight and maybe pour out some of the nectar so there's not so much overflow. If it keeps leaking then it's just the cause of a bad feeder and you will have to buy a new one. I've had about 5 of them and I only had one that leaked bad. Goodluck!

i lost mine too, but it seemed to function okay without leaking. however it may eventually. i would look for a replacement if you are going to keep the unit.

Can't be of much help we returned ours shortly after we bought it , it leaked the 1st time we used it!

I had the same question and searched for months. Eventually gave up and purchased completely new cans. I suspect it is deliberate on the part of the manufacturer.

Yes, have. I bought a set of 3 and the one bottle leaks terribly from the spay nozzle and from the trigger. I feel there should be some type of small o-ring or something in these areas to prevent this. It becomes a real nuisance.

I haven't had any problems with my Steamboy leaking, I've been using for a month now. I noticed that two black seals are supposed to be on the cap (extras were included attached to the instruction manual.) I would check to see if they are on and the cap is screwed on tightly. Sounds like you both got a defective product and I would return them.

The first time I used the Mastrad it distorted the seal & gas escaped. I discovered that I hadn't screwed the cap on all the way. The seal should not be visible when it is tightened & actually continues to rotate 1-2 more times before it is truly sealed. Then before i put the cartridge on I press the release valve in go make sure it is not stuck. Make sure not to cross thread the cartridge holder. After gassing I leave the cartridge in place, shake the canister & put it in the fridge for several hours. When ready don't try to open it until you press the pressure release valve until no more gas escapes. Then open the lid & replace it with the storage cap. If this doesn't help then I suggest you contact Mastrad. Oh yeah, use the white funnel provided to fill & only fill until the liquid touches the bottom of the funnel.

Mine broke and I contacted Cuisanart and they replaced it but now the second one broke too. I do the same thing and put a heavy can on top when popping. Definitely a flaw in the design!

It may be possible the nozzle has blockage or it may be the cap is not tightened correctly. It may also be a washer is missing, it's hard to see. I had a problem with the sprayer dripping when I wanted to drain the sprayer into the canister. The problem was I didn't relieve the pressure by removing the canister before squeezing the trigger. That was the only problem I had. I can't give you a more technical assessment, if you are like me, I tend to peruse the instructions, so did have to go back and read them carefully. I'm sure you've thought of most of these things but good luck. I liked It may be possible the nozzle has blockage or it may be the cap is not tightened correctly.
