does it generate too much heat

In my opinion, no. It comes with a unique cover (?made of bamboo fibers I think) that insulates any heat that might build up. I am a very HOT SLEEPER, and was on "high alert" for any increase in warmth caused by this pad, and have not noticed any uncomfortable increase in heat since I put the pad on my bed.

No. I tried to use it in a 12 x 20 room and it didn't generate enough heat for the room. It only made noise. I could feel the heat right next to it. It can possibly be used ubder your desk to warm up your feet. I stored mine in the attic. What a waste.

I had mine on for an hour or so, and it got hot, but did not overheat. Sorry, Wish I could help.

I don't remember it doing that. I returned it and didn't use it, as it was damaged, noisy, and put out a lot of heat.

I use mine in a basement and it works fine. I've not noticed excessive heat production during the past several months. :-)

If you are overheating already than yes, longer run time will produce more heat. Try installing a heat sink on motor or put some 'cruising time' in to your flights every free minutes to let motor cool.

Mine gets very warm. In fact, I keep it on the two lowest settings all of the time. The two higher ones would be too hot for me. So there is a lot of range with the heat in this one.

I haven't had any issue with heat with mine. But I wouldn't use a real high heat with even heat protected

Too much. Its a decoration now. I don't use it. I got it to cut down on my electric heat costs but it went up after I started using it.

I just bought this and am surprised that others have found it gets too hot. Mine doesn't get nearly hot enough, just a little warm up at level 6. Almost all of the negative reviews complain about this but I saw such a high overall rating I didn't read them. I'm thinking of return it asap.

never tried that, but I think it runs a little hot. I have learned what temps to set it too. And btw, I love it.

Very much so! I tested it by turning the fan off and my laptop was getting hotter.

Definitely. Mine gets warm enough I often need to turn it off or on the low setting to not make myself carsick! It doesn't take long to heat up.

Make sure that the unit is placed in a well ventilated area. Obstructions to the air vents will make it overheat very quickly

I would not recommend it. If it didnt over heat it would be severely underpowered!

No it puts out a lot of heat especially the top of reflector. Unless you have high ceilings in your screened porch but I wouldn't do it anyways.
