The heat on my machine also doesn't seem to be any good. Where is the heat?

Sorry- I played with one in Brookstone at the mall- don't have the funds to get one, but I will. I did not try the heat function- I was too busy drooling while it massaged my whole foot.

I turned on the heat feature yesterday and looked inside the unit where you insert your feet. I could see the heating unit light up so it is in fact working. I am guessing that this is a very low setting to reduce the chances of excess perspiration. It would be hard to clean the interior of the foot inserts and remove any odors.

I agree that the heat feature is either set too low or is not really working. Since we wouldn't use it very much, it isn't an issue for me. My wife hasn't complained either so-----

There should definitely be hot steam. Are you saying that you get no steam at all? or that the steam is not hot? Did you get a flawed product?

Wish I could help, but I returned my unit because it was DOA.I replaced it with a Duxtop 8100MC. I don't think the temp goes that low.

Don't use mine very much, but never had a heat issue. If the switch isn't working I would return it.

I don't know how to make it hotter, but you might want to try descaling the machine.

Yeah it runs pretty hot, I picked up a laptop cooling pad for mine and seems to do pretty well after that.

Are you sure you wired it correctly? Maybe you mixed up the heating circuit with the cooling circuit? If that's not it, I'd get a new one. Why take a chance?

Our machine seems to make it hot (hot enough that I can't hold the glass cup bottom). I will say, though, that the FIRST espresso after we turn it on seems cooler than the subsequent attempts (still very warm; just not hot). I imagine there is some water in the lines that isn't heated, but I don't know that.

Do you mean the heat? It is pretty good! I love it. As a matter of fact, some times, it gets too hot and I turn it to low. Good buy, so far!

My unit has not over heated. If its really hot, I would think it is a defective unit.

No,the unit I bought does not generate any heat at all. Even when I put my palm on the unit, the machine does not feel warm at all

I haven't noticed a big difference. I also haven't tried to get it as hot as possible either.

I have had the temp on max while using the disk& had no problems. Either you got a bad disk or your burner is going higher than it is set for.

my problem was no heat at all. According to Google, your problem may be related to some restriction in air flow, either at the filter (or around the filter) or the vent hose. Good luck!

I too haven't had any issues. There are heat settings that you can adjust. If it doesn't heat up, you may have a defective unit.

My machine has never gotten hot. For the most part it is stable on the counter, it does have a strong vibration system so i can't say if it will move on another surface.
