Glad I found this site instead of wasting more time trying to get mine to work again. Same thing: lights on, feels hot, nothing happening. Penguin should have to recall the item and refund everyone`s money!

The Penguin is RUBBISH. Our experience is exactly the same as the other reviewers. It worked OK initially but after a couple of months rest it refused to function. The lights come on, the motor makes a noise as if it is operating and the element heats up......but nothing happens when the trigger is pressed. It is impossible to do anything with it because the tank is secured by mastic and even when all the screws holding the two halves of the penguin are removed, it can`t be dismantled. I wish I had seen this site before making the purchase, but the only thing to do now is throw it in the dustbin and put it down to experience.

Yes I own one. Also worked once. Never again. I would also like to know, if it can be repaired. It is really cute, but useless.

SNAP! I used it once and it`s never worked again! USELESS! Too late to demand a refund, which is annoying. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM! Why can`t we give a zero rating on this site?

I have one. Used it once and it has never worked again. Looking for another make now. Very poor show, although it worked well the once it did work.

I have had exactly the same experience - I could have written the above, though I was happy with it when it was working. I came here looking for tips on how to fix it. Anyone any ideas ?

Yes I own one. Wish I didn`t! About to put it in the bin as it`s totally USELESS. Hadn`t used it for ages, took it out of the cupboard to use today and absolutely NOTHING happens with it. If I could rate it, it would be minus something.
