I have a different brand that gets scary-hot to the touch if it runs a long time. Does this one get very hot after many hours of use?

If it runs hot by all means keep anything flammable, drapes,Away and dont leave it own while not present....Our fire dept tests fans and advises

I still have my old one (7 years old) and it's still working great. Just ordered another for backup or another room. First one, only paid $9 for it. I try too keep the blades oiled or silicone sprayed, but there are no maintenance instructions that came with it (original) and even now I don't feel it getting hot. Best fan I've ever purchased.

Most fans will work too hard, get hot, & may overheat if they're regularly working against the wind for a long time. On a breezy day, you should find which windows the air is blowing, & which are blowing the air out. If the air is coming in a window, it's going out a window (or screen door) somewhere. Set the fan to blow with the direction of the breeze, not against it, or the fan will get hot, & you'll shorten it's life.

I ran it for about 1 hour continuously on one occasion, and it didn't smell or get hot or anything like that. Hope this is helpful.

Nope, I haven't found that it gets too hot to handle. It gets warm but not unbearable. I have used it on both the low and medium settings. Hope that helps!

Mine gets quite warm, but not alarmingly so. I unplug it overnight about twice a week - just when I think about it - to give it a break.

I haven't noticed any abnormal heating but it doesn't last long! 2 to 3 hours tops!

Mine seems to keep warm forever. After the whole 24 hours it didn't shut off. Maybe this is defective?? (though I am happy it does not shut off.)

I cannot even remember how long ago I bought this now, but it has been a long time and I swear by it. If it ever breaks I will buy this brand again. I run a VERY HIGH END solid state laptop that only has one moving part in the entire machine, the CD drive. It gets very hot running the high definition 3D screen and I run this machine well over 12+ hours a day. As a matter of fact, without this fan, my machine will get so warm that the battery overheats and the sensor turns on that will not allow my battery to charge unless I close my screen down and let it cool off. Awesome piece of cooling tech I will not live without. Highly recommended if you cannot tell. I cannot even remember how long ago I bought this now, but it has been a long time and I swear by it.

You get about 20 minutes or so of hot with this cup. You can get about a hour of warm. We now own 4 of these cups and we will not use a different brand.

Yes, I've been on my computer for hours and it did not over-heat and I'm a avid user of my computer so that says a lot.

Yes, mine gets fairly warm to the touch. It hasn't caused any issues yet but I have only had it about 6 months.

It gets hot enough where if I am drying something small and my hands are near the tip (heating area-coils) it's burning hot! But it's not dangerously hot as long as you use it correctly. I love mine! And bought 12 more for my students!

No, it does not get hot. I have never had it overheat or even get warm to the touch.

Mine doesn't. What does get very hot, though, is the plug and outlet. You can't run this for more than an hour at a time, certainly not overnight, and never using an extension cord. It's plugged into a safety outlet, but draws so much current that it heats the plug up. I'm actually looking for a replacement heater. Hope this helps.

Yes! Definitely gets hot to the touch. I was surprised because a number of reviewers indicated that it was only warm, etc.

Mine gets warm not hot. I guess it depends on how long you leave things pluged in. I have not had the problems you are experienceing.

Ours was purchased a couple of month ago and runs so hot that I'm afraid for its life, but it performs great.

YES! I found it got very hot sometimes. It stays fairly warm, but I can only recall one time it was actually uncomfortable. For the most part I didn't notice.
