Does it overheat often or randomly shutoff before getting to the set temp?

No. It really works great, and I've tried many before this one. I highly recommend it.

It does not seem to overheat. The big negative thing for me though is that it is very loud. I originally bought it for a bedroom and it is ridiculously noisy. Moved it to the living room and now will only use it when the TV is not on because otherwise have to have the TV loud to compete. I always buy Lasko fans and heaters but I will not buy this model again.

When I using it, the unit will only shut off before it hits the preset temperature if too much dust is accumulated

It pretty well runs solid until it gets up to temp, then it turns on and off usually within plus or minus of 2 degrees. A lot of this depends on how cold and insulated your area is, but for me it is usually about every 5 to 6 minutes it will run about 1 to 3 minutes, then continue to repeat in that pattern.

I haven't noticed this problem. I use the heater to heat up my garage to allow me to workout. Once the heater reaches the preset temp and turns off I unplug it. I'll let it cycle next time I use it to see if I experience the problem you describe.

Ive used the unit several times, and for a good/long amount of time each use. So far I have not had any overheating issues.

I only just started using it last week, but over the weekend I left it on all weekend. It did not overheat. When I leave for work, I do turn it off.

Yes it shuts off when it reaches the temp you set it to. If the temp falls bellow it will turn on again and off again when temp is reached.

No, it never overheated and I left it on for hours it just never gets hot even on the highest setting and doesn't blow out any heat

Mine does that also sometimes. I am very unhappy with this product. Half the time it doesn't heat up either. This is the second one I have purchased and I will never buy another one again. I am going to Walmart to get another one. I just bought one from Walmart at a way lesser price and it works great.

Mine has never got too hot. It cycles on and off depending upon the temperature setting. I set mine on 70 degrees and leave it there. When room temperature reaches 70 it shuts off - first the heat and then the fan after it cools a bit. Works just like your whole house thermostat.

Mine is installed on a timer and comes on a few hours a day. Did not have an overheat problem.

No, however it will auto shut off when the unit overheats from not being in the upright position. If the unit is face or back down, it will overheat causing the unit to auto shut off.

Mine has shut off when it has overheated. It would not start again until it had cooled to a completely-off temperature, which at least once took an hour or more.

No it does not however when it gets to the temperature you set it shuts off not to get to hot however it will stay on for hours.

I don't think it's normal. That is why I returned mine. Would not run for more than a few minuets before overheating and the safety would shut it off. I know of people who have had success with it but not me and looks like not you either. I'd return it because overheating that quickly could lead to blown fuses or fire.

I have used it for many hours at a time and have never noticed it heating up beyond warm. I do not see overheating as a problem.

Never had it over heat. The only time it stops heating of is when safety switch on bottom of the unit cuts power off when moving. As soon as its on floor, it turns on again. I have five units.

It has an automatic shutoff at a desired temperature . Set a reasonable temperature and it cannot then freezeup.

It is my understanding that it is supposed to be set then it turns off once it reaches said temp. Then when it drops it turns back on. This model I bought did not. I'm sorry about the vauge answer. I was just disappointed with the initial faults, I had to send it back.
