Is the SYS-AIR kind of vibrate-y?

Just picked one up and if I put it on a countertop on high, it'll eventually vibrate itself off the counter. Just wondering if this is normal for those who have it.

No, not at all. Send it in under warranty.

It vibrates a little, but not too much. I keep it on the MFT table, and I can feel some vibrations coming through.

I ordered another one to compare against. It definitely feels like the turbine is out of balance or something. Again, only on high. When I put it on a wooden joist floor it's feels like someone is getting after the floor with a rotary hammer.

Both of mine vibrate more than i think they should, but not nearly enough to move around. The vibration level was the first thing I noticed when I got the first one and the second one is identical in this respect. I love the units but expected smoother operation...

I just checked mine. I never noticed a vibration before, but putting my hands on the sides and top today, I could feel a low level vibration, almost like a back massager pad on very low.

I have never noticed it moving, and it has run for several hours at a time. But it has been on surfaces like the MFT and a plywood shelf. I don't know if it would shuffle around on a glassy smooth surface, but I would be surprised if it did.

By the way, when I have turned it on and then moved it to a different location, I never noticed any vibration.

Mine does not move on any speed.
