Worried about the vacuum base. Will it really stick?Tksbp

Yes it does. We have a smooth counter surface and it doesn't not move, once stuck down. This corer does a really nice job once you get the blade adjusted right.

Works just fine. I've even run it through the dishwasher and it still works. A little water on the rubber and pressure for suction as you move the lever and it works well.

The vacuum base seemed to work OK, but you have to have a perfect shaped apple for this to work as advertised. This the only one I have ever used, so they may all be that way. I would not purchase another one.

It suctions really well to my laminate counter top. I'm sure it would work well on granite or anything similar. It does not suction to my unfinished wooden table.

Mine does that often, all I can do is push it back together as strongly as possible. It usually stays for a while when I do that. It's a pain and I've become disappointed with this vacuum after using it for a while. Wish I had more to offer!

Just make sure the vacuum part at the bottom is clean. I had the same issue but turned out the brushes at the bottom had stuff rapped around it blocking the water to come out.

No, we haven't had any problems with the casters. We have used our vacuum a lot, picked it up from place to place, and no problems at all. Try contacting the company.

It sounds like you removed the black tape on the sealing strip like I did. If you still have it, replace it or call vacmaster they will replace it.

Hi! I recently experienced a similar problem! I had removed all the filters (there are three removable ones - two foam and one white paper), washed them all, cleaned everything off the beater bar/roller, shook out the tube/hose, even unscrewed the bottom and cleaned out whatever I could find there too! Still, as soon as I turned it on, it was going to red! Grrrrrr I FINALLY found the problem. You might have already checked this, but just in case, sharing it here. It might help you or someone else. When looking at back of the vacuum, on the right side, BEHIND the main tube/hose, you can see the tube attach to the black vacuum base which feeds into the clear body where the dirt goes in. I could not see any clogs anywhere. BUT - this part of the tube/hose COMES OFF - it is easy to overlook, but it twists and releases. I did that as a last resort, and found my problem! There was a piece of paper in there, and all kinds of dirt and hair (we all shed some and have two cats) were packed pretty solid behind the paper! It took a tool like a crochet hook to get it all out and unpacked! (I have a metal "tube turner" for sewing, which is what I used, but anything super thin and long can work, as long as you do not go THROUGH the hose.) I took an amazing amount of junk that had not come out when shaking the hose, cleaning things, even taking the rest of the vacuum apart... it hides in that last curve of the hose! I hope this helps someone else, because this is a great little powerhouse of the vacuum that is perfect for our little townhouse. But the clogging does happen sometimes, and I've now found the FIRST place I'll look, instead of the dead last! ;-)

I'd love to be able to help u but I haven't used it yet. I would guess it maybe vacuum holding it on. Not to b funny but have u looked in the owners manual? It may have some helpful hints.

If it falls off push the suction part in with your thumbs and stick it back on a clean, dry surface and it will stick again. It looses suction after some time but is easy enough to put back up.

I would check the bag first to be sure it isn't at capacity and needs to be changed, after 6 months it may need to be changed. If that isn't it I would check in the inlet area to see if anything was sucked in that is now blocking it. I have had no problems with suction problems at all. The first bag I found needed to be changed earlier than the next bag I guess because my old vac wasn't working as well any more so when I initially started using the Miele the first bag got filled a lot faster than I expected. Good luck.

Just give it a wipe-down with a wet cloth once in a while... the base does a nice job of -not slipping-

We haven't had that experience with a sticking base. Contact the company and they will make it right for you. A great company that is efficient and treats their customers in highest regard. Call now and they most likely will send you a new unit.

Not sure why that would happen but I would definitely refer to the dyson official website; they have a lot of info, videos and troubleshooting guides. Good luck!

the top surface is important as it is injection molded and sometimes there is flash from the mold. feel the top surface and see if there any burrs there, if there are you can use a piece of sandpaper or one on the little fingernail thingies to make it smooth, it does not take much to loose vacuum. Put a bit of cooking oil on the seal and try it.The only problem i have had with mine is keeping the screws tight on the right side.

You can do one of 2 things. Hit Manual Seal (with the bag in the vacuum area) and it will suck for a second or so then seal. Or you can hit the start button and then hit the manual seal to stop the vacuum process. Hope this works, I surely like mine.

This is an inherent problem since mine does the same thing. I usually seal it twice. Once with the vacuum suction on then immediately with just the seal on like you are making a bag this works most of the time, but not 100% of the time.

The reach should automatically have suction if the vacuum is on and in the upright position. Sounds like your vacuum is malfunctioning. You should contact whoever you purchased it from or take it to a repair center.
