According to Wondfo and Amazon, the green handled strips are not authentic and will probably not give you correct results. I would contact Amazon customer service and see if they can give you a credit/get your money back. At the very least report the seller you bought your wondfos from. I know a lot of girls who have had success with this. To my knowledge, these companies have been vetted and are real wondfo suppliers and can be found on Amazon; TEST `A-SURE iFast Fairview Mart DING!

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.

Not on this one. We have only had it a week. We have replaced 2 others with the chrome bar hinge and yes, they had a greenish discoloration- I think it is corrosion from uric acid, which eventually causes the hinge to break. My guys seem to have poor "aim".

Here is the manufacturer's statement in its entirety, from waterrightinc.com on its FAQ page, on June 26, 2014: "What does the recent www.healthychoice.com report on garden hose by Ecocenter.org mean? We spoke with Jeff Gearhart, the Research Director who was in charge of this study on 5-14-2013 and he supported our safety claim regarding our hose. He encouraged us to send anyone with concerns to their lab directly. http://www.healthystuff.org/contact.us.php Jeff Gearhart also recommends our polyurethane product and natural rubber hoses over other garden hoses in the industry. He specifically noted that the lead testing that is performed by their lab utilizes an x-ray devise which penetrates the chrome surface coating to determine the level of lead content in our brass. And yes, although there is lead inside the brass we use (which almost all brass fittings do and that we have always claimed), we specially plate our fittings with nickel and chrome to prevent our customers from coming in contact with any lead. An Independent lab called Bureau Veritas in Buffalo, NY, has also performed a surface coating test that shows our fittings meet drinking water safe applications. You will also be happy to know (based on our company's priorities to make only completely safe products), that we have been working on a producing a completely lead free fitting over the last 12 months (now that that brass alloy has recently become available by Chase Brass). The only unfortunate part of making this change is that the cost for lead-free brass is double the cost of regular 360 brass, which will possibly add between $4-5 retail to all of our hoses. Again, although we currently meet drinking water safe standards, it has been our top priority in 2013 to produce the safest garden hose in the industry. Water Right 100% lead-free fittings will be available by year end and will also be tested by a certified laboratory to ensure a completely lead and toxin free product. Jeff Thomas - President "

I have the same problem and I just called Bissell and they are sending me a new handle. We will see.

I've had no problem with mine. Just had to plug it in and make sure I touch switch is flipped to ON and when you wrap your hand around the handle it should lower. One finger touch won't trigger it. You need to touch where the dots are or on the bottom of the handle. The sides of the handle won't trigger it either. I am literally using mine right now. I use it almost daily for my sewing projects. I just purchased it from Amazon a month ago and have had no issues with it raising and lowering. It's possible you got a faulty product.

No I have not. Make sure you turn and TIGHTEN the handle in place after you've adjusted it to the length you want it at. I'm sure that's what's wrong.

No, I haven't. I did replace the plastic knobs on the side that hold the handle in place.Apparently a common occurrence...

I went on the company website and got a customer service email address. They were very supportive and sent me gaskets for my units, after I had complained about the gaskets. Give it a whirl. I think they need to know how their products are behaving out in the real world.

That's never happened to any of the ones I know of. I've bought two and my Dad and brother each have one. Neither of them have had that issue. Sounds like it's time for a return.

I haven't had that problem. I'm left handed but not sure if I use it like a left-hander or right-hander. Perhaps you have the handle in the wrong position.

I tried once and had a splatter issue. Then had a dye run on the test line so I've dipped since then.

I have had trouble-I contacted them they gave me some answers. did not do well with them- I finally gave up- marked it up to experience - Good luck with your complaint

I bought ten and had one that was defective. I think they are "dime a dozen" tests so there are a few defective ones in the mix. It could be you just got unlucky. Also are you testing with urine that is extremely dilute? It may not be concentrated enough.

Alan, thanks so much for sharing this. I have some 'silicone spatulas' with wood handles that were ofcourse never 'adheared' to the head, I have to take care not to get the 'connection' contaminated with what ever it is I am using it for. If you run across a solid sil spat, pls let me know. I'll do the same.

Ms./Mr. Dricoll: I never had a problem with the handle sticking. I remember using it constantly (squeezing it multiple times with no problem). Be sure the bottle is inserted tightly, and it is full of liquid. If the bottle is low, the squeeze handle doesn't work smoothly. I hope this helps.

Have the same issue. Contacted Green Pet...no answer. Crappy customer service.
