Is it normal for the dirt canister to not completely seat on to the machine after the click?

Mine isn't easy, and takes some trial & error, but it does click into place.

Yes sometimes it is very difficult to put in. Other then that a great vacuum

I had a little issue with getting the canister on at first-make sure the bottom of canister is in place then firmly "click in place"

This is part of the issue I have had from the beginning. Try turning the knob situated above the handle. It locks the unit in place if you have it seated properly. I hope that helps...

elaborate.... Im not sure what you're asking, but I'm thinking my answer is not

It should not have that issue. I bought this for an office I think about a year ago. Have had no issues with it (have to keep filters clean) and it works as good as the day we put it together. What is really nice is it does a better job than any other upright I've ever used on the hardwood floors, actually picks most of it up instead of just spitting it around the room. I think debby625 got a dud... have not had to replace the belt yet.

No it should fit properly. I had "issues" with this machine for the entire time I owned it, finally took it back and bought a dirt devil - which so far so good is running well. Some of my issues: Belts broke twice (only used it maybe 6 times), power head for hand held only worked when it felt like it, machine itself clogged easily (I only have laminate floors and area rugs, this vacuum was not "run" hard). I finally returned it vowing to never buy Eureka again!

You may have cross treaded the top. Easy to do, remove the top set it on top again, back it up like you are taking it off very slowly. You will fill a slight click when it lines up properly. now tighten.

I've had my Krups machine for one year. I have not experienced that problem except once when doing a cleaning cycle -- I did not get it popped back on correctly. But I seldom use the steaming wand. Check to make sure the wand clicks back into place.

Is the problem that it isn't going in all the way, or that it just flops back out? My guess is that it's an issue with getting the lid on properly. As another responder noted, the lid seal needs lubricated if it's too clean. It also needs to be latched into the grooves above the handles on the canister. You have to be fairly firm with the canister to make it go in all the way, I like bracing the mill with one hand & giving the canister a sharp tap with the other to make it seat. If the canister is just flopping out, be sure that you are putting the lid on the canister before inserting it.That's all my ideas.

Hi Kate, this is a little tricky to diagnose via Amazon. Did you remove the hopper and bur? You should do this just to be sure there is nothing visible that could prevent the grounds from exiting the unit into the container. You might also try running a paperclip down through the shoot to be sure nothing has gotten stuck in there. Also, did you set to a very fine grind? If so, maybe dial it back to be sure you can get any grinding action. Does the motor seem as though it is laboring to perform the grind? I hope someone else can chime-in here, but give Baratza a call. I know you said no clogs, but I always go through the steps (even the most logical ones) a couple of times to be sure I did not mis something. Good luck and I wish I had the magic answer to your problem. I hope you get the grinder working because I sure enjoy mine and it still is performing perfectly. Best

Yes. This is normal for this machine. When the canister turns, dasher is still in place so in a way the dasher is turning. It's hard to explain but here's a video so you could see what I mean. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D5ZEIAr4LjA

No, ours does that too. I don't know if there's an easy fix. I try to make sure it's pushed down all of the way before loading stuff in.

The suction spins the dirt in a small "tornado" pattern. That's what you were seeing. There is nothing mechanical that spins. If You're not seeing the spin, you probably have a clogged hose. The hose right by the beater bar often clogs.

Make sure the nut on top is tight-and Yes there is a certain amount of resistance as you turn the handle -it's just the action of the grinder itself

Yes that is normal. Try turning the machine off and then restart, but that is normal.

Picked one up today and it does the same thing. They should at least mention it in the manual. I wasn't sure if it was normal. Apparently it is. Thanks for bringing this up and thanks for your follow up.

It should sit flush, you must have done something wrong, mine sits level. Good luck

Check your hose connection, this model is known to have the hose disconnect to the vacuum while being used, and it spills your dirt all back into the air instead of into the canister. It's awful.

I haven't had a problem either, as the other person said, I do place it on non carpet area when I stop it just because a little residual seems to come out when I let it set sometimes. I love the machine, it does a great job and I have 4 dogs in and out all day every day! Hope you find a fix :)

I haven't had that problem with mine. Make sure the green slider button above the roller is fully to the left.

Been there, done that. It's likely the conveyor motor and it isn't supposed to do that. Unfortunately, I became very good friends with customer service. I went through a replacement motor and two different replacement units. It was never right. I finally gave up and bought a different litter box.

No the canister doesn't bump into walls and furniture alot. That being said, you need to remember the canister is going to go where you pull it. If it bumps into something, it's "driver error" and not the fault of the vacuum.
