Can you tell me if it's normal for the canister to move a little off center of the base when turned on?

On ours, the canister fits on the base a little loosely and it does move a little when you turn the unit on... I would imaging if the fit was any tighter it would be more difficult to place and/or remove the canister on and off from the base.

Not happened to me though. But, "a little" might be OK from my point of view.

Yes, but not easily because it is flush with the rest of the tank. This is annoying, but, if you generally keep it pointing in a single direction, and so aren't readjusting it often, it's not that big a deal.

I am not sure if it's normal or not but I have never had any issues with it. I just make sure to set it in the space, wiggle it around to make sure it's in there properly and then go about my cleaning. It's never come out, leaked, or done anything else I would be concerned with.

The top spins off the base. If it has been awhile it is probably stuck on the sealing surface of the base...good luck

sounds like there might be some kind of obstruction. Not real sure, I never had any problems with mine. Is the tank sitting on the base properly? I use either R/O or distilled water

Make sure you have the disk/flange underneath the base seated correctly. Once it is seated you should be able to tighten it up and it won't move any more. From time to time we have to tighten ours up after a month or two of play. Hope this helps.

No it's not normal. You might have a canister with a defective O ring. I use MSR or Snow Peak canisters with mine (Snow Peak is Asian manufactured like the stove's we're using). Although these canisters and fittings are standardized there is some variation allowed and not all canisters fit as good as others. I had a similar issue to the one you are experiencing using the Primus canisters with Jet Boil stoves. So compatibility is not guaranteed. Here's a quick article on the subject, check out paragraph 2. http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/canister_stove_faq#.Uf_r_Srn9dg

Hold the base with one hand and rotate the lid with the other. If that doesn't work, you might have a dud. Ours works just fine.

No it's normal. Need to make sure it's full of sugar, it's self balancing. I have 2 machines they vibrate a lot

Not sure if that is normal but mine did the same thing. I had to make sure it was pushed back and not near the edge of my countertop. I since upgraded to the Zojirushi.

Mine was barely moving when I first got it. I tried everything and then finally decided to clean the main filter. After I did that it started working great. Hope this helps.

I don't have a problem with the vacuum canister's motor, but something seems to be wrong with the powerhead. It has a deafening roar. I will be taking it in for repair.

Mine is slightly tilted upward because of it hits the base there and the base is vertically straight. Hope this helps.

Yes, just empty the canister when you hear a high pitch noise coming from the unit. It will stick to the canister though.

Hi. I'm not sure if it should move on you??? I have to manually spin mine. It doesn't just spin easily. My guess is something is loose or there is a defect. I hope this helps.

Mine was the same way but it was not the fluid joint. There's a screw (the included tool fit) that adjusts the entire units attacment. It might be loose.

I had this problem a short time after I bought this vacuum. I found that the base that the canister sits on had slid out a little and when I snapped the canister back into place there was a small gap between the hole in the canister where the dirt, etc. enter and the hole where the tube connects to the canister. Once I moved the base back into the correct spot and the gap was eliminated, the suction returned to full strength and has worked great since. Don't know if this is your problem, but it might be something to check.
