Mine after only a few months gets so hot if I have it on more than 5 mins it literally burns me, just by holding it my hands have gotten burn blisters after a few minutes, is this common or is there a fix, is there anything I can do to get this to stop...

7/5/2014 Good Day Rayn, You should STOP using this item, this is a fire hazard. You could be injured. Contact the seller you purchased this from, as common sense would dictate this is NOT how it should work and there is no fixing it. Sincerely, Customer Service Dept. JoyToyShop

I've noticed that too. My old Revlon one didn't get quite as hot and I could put my hands up to it without getting burnt. I think it's the difference between the this one having ion technology and the old one not having it. My old one did, however, also have the funny smell. I had it for about ten years before it died. I'm wondering if it's possibly the nature of the beast with this product when made by Revlon. I believe the smell is from the bristles getting hot, but I could be incorrect on that.

It gets very hot after one toasted crumpet. My previous toaster had an ugly plastic sleeve around it, so I had lost my caution. Got this two days ago and I burnt my hand on the side... both mornings since! Careful.

i carry mine with me for the quick little touch ups -- living in louisiana the humidity is horrible -- i have not had any issues -- i just pulled mine out and tried it -- screw cylinder in -- push the "on" button, listen for the hiss, then slide the ignitor (took 2 times), touch to feel the cylinder getting hot!!! ta da!!! works like a charm!!! hope this helps!

Has anyone had a problem with the foil getting a whole in it so quickly? I feel I am very careful with mine and never spray or touch my foil and yet a whorl will come in a couple of months use? Should I be doing something to prevent this?

I have had mine close to 8-10 years, and have changed the batteries 3 times at most. I only do small areas though like the upper lip. Are you doing multiple areas at once or larger areas like your legs? I haven't had the same problem with mine. Can you exchange yours? :/

Hey...same thing happened to me. Shake it to 'fluff up' the down. Puff it w your hand too. I did that for about 10 min. Mine ended up expanding. Mine is actually too warm for me. I have to run the heat down 4-5 degrees more than I used to.. but then I don't want to get out of bed in the am. Good luck w it...should be fine. Morrison

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

It may be getting too hot. Do you unplug it daily when not in use? I don't have this particular warmer anymore due to a puppy I had for a month=) but it was doing it & my new one did it one day & it made me think of my old one. I unplug it when not in use & I don't see it blinking anymore. It definitely warms. Maybe it defective. I'd contact the manufacturer Also, have you gotten it wet=)maybe with all that people release during a massage(electricity+ human aura, things may mix up) Food for thought. I hope I helped!

you might have to play with the regulators...i noticed when i have the burners off and turn the tank on that you will hear a click and i think the pressure needs to equalize before trying to start it. it happens when i change tanks and i usually wait and then it gets hot, if i start it right away i have trouble getting a high temp. also watch the wind, i have my door face the wind and play with the dampners on the sides. i have been using mine in 10 degree weather and it is heating just fine. as far as damage i didnt experience that.

Same thing happened to me. It's a fire hazard. Plus, it puts out toxic fumes when it burns. I was not cooking on high (rarely do, because I use Henckel's ceramic ware). It may be a good product for some people, especially those with electric or ceramic stove tops. And it may be only a few of the items that tend to catch fire. But a few is too many for me. I wish I could return it.

Just got a new one. It seems just a bit but I have a wicked sense of smell. I am sure it'll be mostly gone in a month. Doesn't make my hand smell after hours of use. I hope that helps.

How long have you had it? If you are still inside the return window, that is what I suggest. I had two heating elements go out within about 6 hours of work. Returned it and got a Hakko. No regrets.

Did you try turning it up on the dial? I don't know, mine gets really really hot on like 5. Maybe yours is broken?

Suprised it was damaged!! Mine was packed like a very well! As for the temp? I had that problem yesterday. Smoked a pork roast. Fired up just fine and was running too hot 250! Had both burners on low and both dampers open all the way. So, I turned the valve back on the propane tank. Next think I know the temp is at 150 and when I turn it up the temp will not increase. I shut everything down. Opened the valve on the propane tank all the way and restarted it. Worked fine after that. The propane regulators are very cheap now days and seem to have some issues. I have only used it 3 times and here are some suggestions. Keep what you are smoking if it is a small amount at the same level as the temp gauge. Only use 1 burner at a time. Why? When the 1st one burns out of wood chips you start the other. Then you can change out the chips and it is not hot. Wrap the pans in tin foil! They stay nice and it is an easy clean up when you are done. I am also looking into getting a very thin fire proof seal for the door. It is metal against metal and leaks some smoke. May not be worth the cost but a thought. Also..Make sure you burn it off!! Do it slow and work the vents and the doors as it heats up! They will stick! Hope this helps! Going to do a big turkey this weekend?! Yikes!!!

Sounds silly be but when the cool button is on it stays cool (unlike some that go back to hot when you stop pressing, it's almost more like an on and off button)try pressing up and let it run for 10-15 secs. If that's not the problem try contacting the company they are really good at sending new ones are sending free replacement pieces. Good luck!!
