My mirror doesn't get hot at all, sounds like your should return and ask for a new. Ours is used daily with no problems.

I don't have that problem. Sometime I have the light of the mirror on for 30 minutes and everything is ok.

This mirror does not get hot; maybe this one has fluorescent lights, which stay cool.

I would return it, my wife tells me that hers doesn't get HOT. Warm like any other lighted fixture, but not hot.

I wish I knew, because this is a common problem. But I have a suggestion. When you are done using it, donot turn it off! Turn it on the coolest setting, zero I think, and let it cool down with air blowing through it. About 45 minutes. Otherwise you will burn up the heating element!

For sure it shouldn't take an hour. Mine heated up almost instantly. You may have your wires connected improperly.

My Minix actually burnt itself up after 3 months. It's a powerful little device. They actually need some heat syncs to help fight the heat. You could try lowering your screen resolution if you can. The harder you push it, the hotter it will get.

Hi Angell W. - The Conair Pro heats up as hot as the one in the beauty shops but it sounds like you may have long thick hair and in that instance it will probably take as long. But it will be in the comfort of your own home at your convenience. Hope this helps - Anne

Good luck! I thought my bulb was bad and finally found one at Bed Bath & Beyond. It cost about $20. I replaced it and the light still did not work! The store would not refund the bulb. I finally trashed the mirror and bought a Conair model.

Hi, I had ice on my windshield the other day and 4 sprays and it was clear (temp outside was probably in the teens). You have to wait approximately 20 secs. Between sprays. I've been very happy with the washer heater.

I don't think it's normal. That is why I returned mine. Would not run for more than a few minuets before overheating and the safety would shut it off. I know of people who have had success with it but not me and looks like not you either. I'd return it because overheating that quickly could lead to blown fuses or fire.

I haven't had trouble with the screen, it is bright enough and the dimmer has a variety of options to adjust the brightness. Regarding the temperature I use my Alienware daily for school (including CPU intensive programs like ArcGis) and leisure and it doesn't get extremely hot. If you use it for a long time and with CPU intensive programs it will get hot, but the cooling system works just fine.

I've not yet experienced this so I'm not quite sure! Instructions delivered with light offer detailed information that is easily understood in theory......cannot attest to the practical side! FYI.....I still love this mirror!

Same thing happen to me. You can not use this machine in this conditions, you can burn your face. My steam machine is sitting in my basement. You need to call the company to see if they can replace the item or refund your money.

If you have a mesh top. Cover your top with aluminum foil. It will help retain heat. If not get a bigger bulb and bigger fixture. I stopped buying these because they only last a month or two until they blow out. The element melts to the copper conductor inside the fixture. No problems with the outlet it was plugged into either, the house in only a year old.

I'm an old bald guy, so makeup mirrors are not my strong point, but yes, I think so. I use it in a floor-mounted reading lamp where it does well. I would say it acts like a 40 watt incandescent, a little warmer than many LEDs. I think the very low heat production would be good in the make-up mirror.

Used mine for 2+ hours in a session without problems from heat. Setup time is a hassle. Considering Paul C Buff gear.

Emily, I urge you to please invest in another mirror . It had arrived cracked,and I was alright with that because it was in the corner. Then the whole mirror stand started getting loose and the mirror section began spinning and would not stay in place. I asked my husband to try tighten it, but he couldn't find any adjustment apparatus. Long story short....I'm looking for a new mirror. I sincerely wish I could've answered your question..

Wow, 2 years after the last post no one, not even a Conair competitor, has wandered into this discussion?? I am looking for a GOOD dual voltage hot air brush for my upcoming trip to Italy and am still finding very little. The Conair still has the same problem. I am always astounded to find a demand without a supply in this material world... am I looking in the wrong places?
