Does anyone have a rattle in the handheld head? I have ordered 2 now and they both rattled like a loose part was inside, is this normal?

I don't have a rattle. I still love mine and it just screwed on with no plumbers tape. And no leaks.

The one I had (and returned) did not rattle at all. I suspect yours is defective. One comment not picked up by the "Reviews" is that it's not easy/quick to release it from the window compared to the redline because of the position of the release button. Lot of deign/eng flaws.

I have not noticed a rattle during use and am happy with the product. Make sure your vents are horizontal in orientation prior to order.

Mine rattles. Power it up and the rattle goes away. I to believe that this is normal

Mine looks like this picture, has the product number 32600, was manufactured 6/2011, and rattles. I believe the product number you are referring to belongs to the digital model. When I put it in the search box, I get a different picture.

Mine is the same way; chip rattles. Does not effect the performance. I too received a screwdriver; not sure what that is about.

a small amount of rattle in single 18350 mode. no rattle in stacked 18350 mode. I drop mine every day though, so it may be looser than yours.

We did have a problem with our unit. I called the service number, tried the fix he suggested but it didn't help. After a few more calls, they did send me a pre-paid return label. Several weeks we got the same unit back --- with the same problem. Luckily, the unit heats well but I need to give it an occasional kick to stop the loud rattle. Guess my answer is "good luck getting a replacement".

Mine rattles. I have been trying to troubleshoot but can't quite figure where it is coming from.

There is a propeller/screw type element at the end of the curved pipe - pull that pipe and element up and off the unit... clear any debris in there and make sure that the propeller/screw type element is seated nice and tight and straight and not fouled with any hair or other such stuffs... then re-seat the components. That should stop any rattling... What kind of noise are you hearing? It's not absolutely quiet, there is a bit of splashing that you can hear.

This has not happened to me; however, I feel like this brush head was poorly made compared to the original one I had. The bristles did wilt a little faster and the plastic makes noise as if it is not securely tightened into the handheld.

yes mine did that for a short while then it didn't do it any more. It's perfect now! I'd say it was rattling for about the first 15 - 20 uses.

Joseph Question when the blades are fully locked onto the shaft, the blades still rattle?? Sounds like there's a gap most likely due to the head not fully screwed onto the shaft, did you receive the blade tool with your package use it to apply the broad head. If no examine the clip make sure it is in place between the head and shaft, Mine do not slip nor raddle Keep me posted I'm interested in what is creating the bouncing blades. TY

Hey, I got mine in Japan like 5 months ago and i never noticed anything wrong with it, but I just noticed a hissing sound that its making, so i shook it and i also noticed that I shake it it does rattle a little, like most of the stuff inside (or maybe at least the lens) has a little wiggle room. It still seems to be working fine, and still takes good photos.

I went over and put my finger on the side of the round portion and it did not appear to be spinning. It's just vibrating and the lower section also just vibrates back and forth but its supposed to. I do not know that they claimed the top was supposed to spin, it's been too long since I bought it and no longer have the packaging. Whichever the case is, it still works better than a manual toothbrush ;-) I was going to buy some more heads, but they were out of stock when I tried on Amazon and unfortunately I do not get around well and lack transportation so I don't get to Walmart, which is where I go to buy most household goods, more than a couple times a year. Sorry I cannot give you more info. But if you go to the oral-b web official web site you can ask them and they'll most likely answer as they answered my questions when I was considering buying it initially.
