Don't know about the UV-3 but my UV-10 sits quite well on the flat surface of one of my workbenches and is actually relatively quiet. Doesn't need to be stuck down like the Lot-O. Just got UV-10 as an early Xmas present and it appears to be a really nice unit....Mel

It does not move around any on the bench. When it is full it has a bit of weight. We have a UV10. Debby and Tom

It is not real noisy to start with, yogibear

Ditto on the above. I have run my UV-10 24/7 for almost a year and it does not crawl or leap off work benches. I had the same concerns when I first got the machine, but now sleep well.

Try an experiment. Put 3 pieces of masking tape directly inder the feet. Check the next day. There should be no movement of the masking tape. Sleep well.

It's nice to have room for larger stones, slabs, big cabs etc......Mel
