After 17 months of daily use my machine has still not indicated to change cube, is that normal?

First of all, I'd like to suggest that the cube is not even necessary and the unit runs perfectly well without it. That being said, I don't think it's that big of deal. I changed mine after about a year, but I have no intention of buying more cubes when I think it is worn out.

Hi MCY. The instructions for the unit say that the cube should be replaced after about 4000 operational minutes. So that depends on how often you use it and how many minutes per use. If you used it the 9 minute option once per day it would be 365 x 9 so it would be more than a year. I hope this helps. Stan

Hey MCY. Responding to your qustion about your machine not indicating to change cube after daily use after 17 months sound normal, in my opinion NO. Obviously I like the Vitalizer Plus machines because I only recently purchased a second one and could possibly experience the same problem with it, however, my first such machine was on its' third cube when it went junk, never missing a beat with the CC apearing across the screen when time to change the cube. Should it be me I would follow the suggestion given in the post below and change the cube.

I'd go ahead and change the cube, then follow the instructions to reset the change cube function.

Mine does the same thing - did it from day one - very frustrating for a machine in this price range.

No, I've never had a problem with this machine (so far) Maybe it is just your machine and you should ask the mfg. to replace it? I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems.

I'd like to know the exact same thing?! My brand new machine is doing this as well.

There is a linking procedure in the setup information. I believe that when the second cube is blinking it is looking for the robot. It might help to reposition the second cube.

I did have the problem with my first unit after 18 months or so. The problem started after I overcharged the unit. I have since purchased a new one and had any issues.

Sounds like a faulty cube. Mine has had zero issues . I love it and we play with it daily and have for weeks . Contact amazon and return it and get another cube these cubes are great

It probably is a start cap if it's not a bad connection, somewhere,, if it's a bad cap, might cost ya bout 20 dollars,, if that doesnt fix it, trash it, there to mechanically involved, something else will go out,,, I recommend a small office/dorm size freezer,, has no mechanical parts except the pump, and just make your cubes manually,, good luck

You will need to have access to the 192.168.1.x to configure it initially. Default settings for the cube is 192.168.1.254:8000

I have had this unit installed indoors for about 3 months. It is working great so far! It makes a solid suare cube about 3/4" X 3/4" with indented top. No issues.

I was unable to get just the tray replaced when mine came the same way. Go to the site where it was purchased (mine was Amazon), tell them your problem. They will email you a paid return sticker. Put it on your box and return the entire unit. You should receive your replacement soon.

I'm sorry I wish that I could help. Mine did the same thing after about 20 pages of lamination over the past 6 months. I ended up throwing mine away and now I have a whole bunch of extra laminating sheets. Eventually I'll replace the machine. I'm usually a huge fan of Amazon but I will certainly not get another Amazon laminating machine. I hope you are able to salvage your machine.

Haven't had that issue so far, our machine is around 2 years old with no problems. I would contact the manufacturer.

I had mine for several months and never had any problems at all, well I wish I had win 7.I use mine.for work everyday. I did put a start up menu when I got the machine, made a big difference.

Just to confirm, I did change the configuration...no problem, it's just the simply taking 4 screws out of the rounded corner piece and swapping the 2 tables position. 5 minutes.

U can rinse the bottom of the tray w tape water by several seconds n then you can try to push the cube on one side again n u will find it is every easy to push the cube out. Hope it can help :)

Have you contacted the company? I've had mine for 3 years and use it everyday and it still works fine.
