Does this unit heat up when it is on for a while? I like to use without guard on areas and don't want to burn my dog. Thanks

I use mine without a guard. And groom my dogs underside and legs. If the blade does heat up spray it with "Kool Lube" by Oster . Then i use an Oster pro turbo w/#7 blade to do my dogs back. The Oster does get hot so has to be sprayed. The Wahl doesnt get as hot and i have not had to spray it. The Wahl is sharper and easier to use than the Oster. I love my Wahl! Kiki Christensen

Terri, No, the unit does not get hot to the touch. However, you wouldn't want a child or pet being able to get close to the heater as the front-facing air flow is very hot. I have mine mounted on the under shelf of a workbench (where my legs and feet are when I'm working) and it does an excellent job of keeping me warm in an otherwise, unheated space.

Yes and if you have pets and/children who might knock it down it will turn off once knocked over. Even if you bump it and it goes up slightly it will turn off. Btw, itks a great little heater, if you have a well insulated space it can do some pretty good heating. The only time it didn't work well for me is when I lived in a not well insulated basement.

I have not installed the unit I bought most recently but previous unit I have owned would only allow the cold to stay on continuously. I assume the hot is more deliberate, (needing to be held) because of the scald factor.

it can be used without the heat. you push its start button once for just the massage and twice for massage plus heat then the 3rd time to shut off. hope that helped

If you just turn the "purifier" on it's not supposed to heat up. However, I left the purifier on overnight and feel as if the room was about 3 - 4F hotter. It didn't burn up the room but did make it a little warmer. I still love it, though. It's a really great heater. Heats up very fast!

yes, but it still is pretty hot when it shuts off but would not cause burns.

The unit doesn't shut off, but eventually it will power down. It goes into a self-cleaning mode to get rid of any build up. It can smell a little chemically, but it isn't dangerous.

It gets pretty warm, but it won't burn you immediately. I can touch it but it's not comfortable. I've got it mounted on a wall and it doesn't burn the wall behind it.

In my experience it doesn't create "ambient" heat. Its good only if the animal sits on the pad.

You are supposed to turn it off after each use. I have however forgotten to turn mine off right away and it did not turn off on its own. It got very hot to touch, so I am now very careful to turn it off after each use. 2 days ago by Danielle Scott

I leave mine on all the time, unless I'm leaving the house for more than a few hours (just a safety thing with me). It doesn't get that hot, however

The burner/warmer does not. It has a red light that's on until u switch it off.. The water in the reserve stays hot all the time and ready. It has a vacation switch on the back if you are not going to need to use it for a while. I love it!

No. I have had this unit for almost two years. It has performed as expected and I have not noticed any excessive heat.

the only time the heat setting is on is when you use the heat (red) disk. The heat disk has prongs that fit into the unit. The other attachments are just for vibration without heat. Those attachments just slip on. Have fun! Years ago, Wahl used to make a stronger, more powerful unit. This is still adequate and I would buy another in a heartbeat.

It does get hot. I have actually burnt myself a couple of times. If she was strictly supervised and explain about where not to touch it might be ok. When I burnt myself it was due to simply not paying attention to where I was touching. Hope that helps.

No. My unit works well. We typically use it for 3 to 5 hours at a time to heat up our basement TV area.
