Does the chamber get hot? I would like to sterilize electronic items such as my iPhone and other items that heat could damage.

we only use it for non electronic salon implements and the uv lite is a bit warm i would choose not to use it for those items

Warm, but I wouldn't call it hot. I throw my phone in there all the time when I come back from business travel weeks.

Yes, when I first bought it we sterilized in a pot of hot water for 5-10 mins. Other than that, we rinse it with the Medela soap and hot water. I wouldn't recommend using the microwave or dishwasher as these things can break down the plastic. Of course, that is being a really anal parent. Every two weeks I sterilize it again within a pot of hot water but I never use the microwave or dishwasher.

It certainly can. I always make tea in mine and it's usually scorching. I leave it out of 45 min or so before putting it in the fridge. Haven't had any problems so far:)

Mine does not. I use it frequently with various devices and it has never got hot. Even when I have left something charging overnight.

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.

I would no recommend doing that when it is hot. I know of a person that did that. It is hard plastic but heat will damage it.

Mine has never has done that. I noticed it gets very hot in use. I would call the manufacturer or check on their support page.

Nope! I've used mine without turning it off, or taking breaks, for well over an hour and haven't felt it get hot yet.

Not me. My macbook gets a little hot when I'm watching a movie and have it on the charger at the same time but that's to be expected. Other than that, no overheating whatsoever

I have never noticed it getting hot. I am not sure about confined spaces. I do like the quality and feel and convenience of a multiple usb port charger with a separate cord allowing charging in more convenient locations.

Not in my case, never a problem. I have used it to rotisserie roasts for hours, got warm, but not hot.

I don't think so it does get quite hot but the heat seems to be contained with the popmaker and I only feel some mild heat when I am next to it. Uness your heat dectector is very close (within 3-4ft) I think you should be ok.

Doubtful. It is plastic, not silicone, so I don't think that it could handle the temp of an autoclave. If you need to sterilize the case to take it into an OR or medical ward, I'd recommend a chemical sterilizing agent instead.

Mine does not, but sometimes it gets really hot to the point I am concerned that it may melt the plastic case or cause a fire

It has a device inside that gets it hot once it's plugged in. I've had it for a while now and find it to be a great cleaner. I use it to clean other things and not just floors. It steams clothes nicely too!

It gets very hot. You can set the temp. It will burn the skin if you touch it.
