Is the hot setting truly hot or merely warm?

It's not burn your hair hot, but it's not warm either. It's nicely in between.

YES! Almost too hot! It is does not have auto shut off though. Don't forget and leave it on! (Trust me!) love it though!

The range is from slightly warm to very hot. But the heating element is very inconsistent. This is my second heating pad the first one stopped working altogether. So sometimes it works just as the element says and other times it doesn't hardly get hot at all and then sometimes it's too hot even on the lowest setting. So you're taking a risk purchasing this one.

It just doesn't get dangerously hot - apparently the vented shade and halogen bulb inhibit overheating. I have turned off the light after an hour or more use and then brushed my hand against the lamp while prepping pillows - and not been burned doing so - it is warm but not skin-searing hot ever. This is actually one of the best features of the lamp, for which I have the highest praise.

Yes the air gets nice and warm (not hot tho). Without the warm air I was freezing! So yes the heat is nice. :)

The cord does get warm but not hot. The instruction manual says this is normal.

There Is a very "slight" warmness, but definitely not anything that feels hot at all. I love this item. It has saved me 3 times already from loosing my entire freezer full of food. Thanks

I don't find it to be hot at all. I have sat for hours with it on my lap. Not at all hot compared to my past HP's. The heat vents on the right side and it never gets really hot besides it keeps my coffee warm.

It has low, medium and high settings. On high, it is hot but not uncomfortable. I no longer have the instructions, and I couldn't find out the wattage. I finally found a table to put it on so that it fits perfectly. I highly recomment it.

Through observation the first setting from off is low and next is high. High is pretty hot.

Low, high, simmer, warm. Seems to be enough because those are adjustable to your own setting.

I'm not sure if you can regard the "low" setting as "cool", but it is the one I use frequently which feels warm. It has two settings, Lo and Hi

It does have a Cool setting as well as a mild setting called Hair Care. Just mildly warm. And of course the Hot setting.

I've never set mine on the hottest setting but I can tell you it gets very hot. It's a professional machine & it's wonderful.

I think so, it is definitely warm to touch. I stand on mine while working at a table, so I am in direct contact. It sometimes gets borderline too warm after being on it awhile.

Hi...I'm not sure what you mean by cool. You can certainly tell that it is on, but I don't think it is anything overly hot. I keep mine right next to a wall outlet, but when I use it, I just slide it out a bit. The temps. of the unit really are not a problem for me.

It doesn't get warm. It is the temp of the surrounding area (ambient). Refreshingly cool.
