Has anyone else had trouble with the multiple speeds? No matter which we select it seems to be swinging at the same rate...

The instructions say to put a blanket under the baby and let it drag to the floor to kinda slow it down. But I agree, its way to fast. Shes 4 months and I still think its too fast.

We had the same problem, finally gave it back. The speeds are too fast and swinging too strong for newborn

I noticed the same thing. It seems to swing at the same *speed* but the range of motion seems to change.

Ours has been acting weird. When we first turn it on, it wont swing. We have to push it to get it going. It makes a loud mechanical noise that eventually stops.

Hello Whoopsieriot. Regrettably I know nothing about frequencies, but I did encounter the problem you described. Another boat I bought from amazon operated on the same frequency making it impossible to race as one remote controlled the other.

Probably wrong picture indeed. The one I purchased has only two speeds. The first two photos are correct.

I tried to get mine to spin to figure out the problem. Even with the center piece not pushed down, it will only advance the amount of one feed. I think you may have received a defective unit. I have never had that problem and could not create it.

I do not "yet" have this problem. But I have read about it. Some have noted a common problem with a failing speed-control module: http://www.htguide.com/forum/showthread.php?39528-DeWalt-DW621-issuesHope this helps.

no unfortunately you can not control that. There is speed settings but the settings on mine are all the same. It may just be a defect on mine however, I enjoy mine a lot and it doesn't create too much of a 'whirlwind'.

By design you are supposed to be able to regulate speed by how far in you pull the handles, in reality its one speed, its either moving or not. No amount of adjustment has fixed this and there is no independent speed control.

Interesting! That is one issue that I haven't had to deal with. That said, the right trigger is slow and using both the left and right triggers give you top speed. If your unit has the propeller spinning after you plug in the battery, without any other action, it needs to be returned.

I have the same problem. I bought two and they both have the same issue. I feel I was sold defective products, my grandkids NEVER got to ride the junk.

I purchased 3 for my family last Christmas. They all played at the same time, but there did seem to be some problems with frequencies if they were in the same room or same part of the house when they were playing with the car. My suggestion would be to get different types for each of the grandsons. Hope this will help.

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.

Mine does this too some times. I make sure I have no other apps running in the background and wait until it says ready to swing. Sometimes it doesn't take the first swing, but definitely the rest of them.

could be a few things try switching the channels on your remote. also depending in your electronic speed control you might have the setting incorrectly.

I don't have an exact time. So far I've been experimenting with various speeds to see what works best. It just seemed that when I ran it on the top speed it was eating up power. I'll try a more rigorous test during the week and try to post it here.

Honestly, I had that problem too, I began to think it didn't work right so I complained to my wife who in a matter of a couple of days had it working great. She is more patient I'm guessing, it's trial and error.

I've got the same problem. It gets as far as flashing lb/kg and that's it. Nothing responds after that and I don't get any numbers to move up or down with. The printed directions are not helpful at all because it doesn't respond after the flashing lb/kg. Am probably going to ship it back. Has anyone had one arrive with an almost dead battery? Maybe that's the issue.

After owning this machine for 7 months (had our first for about three years) I'm having the same problem as of this morning. I'm going to try all the tactics that billf recommends. Anyone else rectify the problem?
