I just got ours today and I realized, that the lid is a bit loose. Not a lot, but due to this, it moves a bit to the left and right. Is this normal?

Sorry, I can't answer your question, I bought one for a friend and she hasn't said anything negative, sorry.

My lid is a little loose left to right also. Maybe it is just in case too much batter is poured so the lid can press down evenly. Not sure- but everything seems to work just fine :) It really is a good little waffle maker.

I cannot remember if ours did or not; might be normal. Sometimes just a little bit of wiggle room allows you to close the lid gently and adjust to fit onto the bottom section. Just a thought.

My lids fit pretty good except for last, it fit very snug but I could put it in the rack. I would think maybe try to swap some lids around to see which lids fit better. Hope you are able to get it.

That is not normal. Mine stays tightly latched to the back while not in use. I can hear it "click" when I push it back in.

The lid is not a very tight fit as this would cause pressure build up.I never had an issue with the insert,it fits fine in the unit but not tight it does not move however. Hope this helps.

I've had 2 of these. My newest one, the lid is definitely tighter, but still a one handed operation. If it doesn't get easier quickly, I'd get a different one. Is the seal glued on properly? Maybe it slipped??

You are correct, I have the same problem. It would seem that the lids don't exactly fit the bottom, as it's difficult to line them up to snap it down.

Mine is snug (it has to be so it won't leak when measuring liquids), but it slides smoothly and disassembles easily. Note that the guide knobs ride in helical tracks, so the sliding motion is a twisting one instead of straight up and down.

I noticed this, too. I just turn it slowly around until it is the best fit. No problems so far. I love it!

I haven't noticed but I wasn't looking for it. I usually like to leave the lid attached but sometimes if I go too far it comes completely off. I will check if I remember next time and then update here.

Mine became loose, as well. I carefully removed the gasket, then placed a rubber band on the lid. Lastly, I carefully placed the original gasket on top of the rubber band. It now has a tighter fit than when I first purchased it.

No problems. Love it! Little confusion at first on getting the lid on right. Not rocket science- just needed to read the instruction manual.

Mine lined up just fine, so I think there may be an issue with your lid not being on properly. I never had the problem with the lid not lining up when I replaced the bags. I would contact the manufacturer about the issue, or talk to a person where you bought it. Hope I helped. Thanks!

No that's not normal. Mine snaps shut with a loud snap and stays closed. Its pretty tight. I really have to push it down hard to snap shut. It gets tight again after I wash it in dishwasher. Air dry so it doesn't melt.

The lids have a gauge on them. The temp is supposed to be right in the middle. If the lid spins easily, the temp is about right. If it does not spin, it is too cold and if it sputters steam it is too hot. So it is loose by design.

Mine was not tight. Been using it multiple times daily have not had a problem in over a year. Good luck -I love it.

I don't have this problem. Check if the top inside plate and other removable items on the lid are tightly snapped in.

Mine is loose but not very loose. I know it kind of adjusts to the size of what is being grilled. I hope that helps answer your question somewhat.
