What is the size of this device. There is nothing to show how big it is. Can it lay on it's side or will that cause overheating.

I can imagine it can be laid on its side. The heating vents are at the top, and if you lay it on its side, the heating vents will still be open, i. e., they will not be blocked. Dimensions are approximately 2 x 5 x 8 or 9 in inches.

It's about 7 inches tall, 5 3/4 inches deep, and 2 inches wide. And you should have no problem laying it on its side. The vents are in the back and on top so it wouldn't overheat by putting it on it's side.

Height 6-3/4 inches, Depth, just under 5-1/2 inches, Width 1-3/4 inches. For proper venting do not lay on side.Hope this helps.

I havent had any issues with overheating. All other sides and vents are open, and the vents on the bottom are partially exposed cuz the ps4 does not fit flush onto the base. It is raised up just a bit for breathing. But it is still very stable.

The unit does generate a little heat, as it is an electric item, but not much heat. It has small vents on the sides and back. Saying all of that, I would leave some room on all sides if you plan to enclose it. But to be sure, call Panasonic and ask them about your idea.

The unit itself is cool to the touch. The air coming out is warm enough that you wouldn't want to leave your hand in front of it too long, but it won't burn you. If children would be crawling on the floor around this heater, I would put it on a counter or table. It isn't more than 20" tall. The widest part of the base is 6" wide so it doesn't compare in capacity or height to the large oscillating heaters about twice that tall.

This unit is rather large & sort of bulky....i just got one the other day, and i still have lots of questions...i assembled it, and filled it with some water & waited until the light came one & tried it out, but i don't think i had the right attachment....i too would like to know how hot the steam gets & what all can i use this on? i thought it might be good to clean some of our grandson's toys, etc...i think i'll call the info number this week....

I very seldom hold it in my lap, but it does not seem to get overly hot. I sometimes use it on a pillow and have never had a problem with to much heat. this has been a really good tablet/laptop and I would recommend it to anyone that likes windows 8. It took me a while to get used to, but I now use quite a lot. Long battery life is a big plus.

It is 40 inches long , 6 inches wide , and 9 inches tall . It is totally silent , other than a slight click from when the heat kicks on from the thermostat , but is barely audible . There is no fan at all , it is a convection heater , as it heats colder air that is pulled in from the bottom and blows warm/hot air out the top via natural drafting . ( heat rises ) I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want my legs too close to it's top , because it does get hot on the very top where the heated air rises . But if you can tuck it under a long desk , and it's away from your legs , then maybe .

No overheating here. I use it to charge tablets and my 10,000 Mah anker astro. Works perfectly.

I have not had any issues with overheating using this topper. I put a foam topper on my futon under the topper and that has worked out quite well.

The cover only covers the area the left and right of the track pad (where one normally rests his or her wrists) but does not extend above the speakers of the macbook; I am fairly sure that because the fan/cooling component of the laptop is located underneath the area of the speakers and not the trackpad, I don't think there is a problem with overheating. I run heavy duty design software on my macbook and this case hasn't made it heat up more than usual.

I think there's something wrong. I have the same model and have never had a notebook/laptop that stayed this cool. There is only the slightest elevation in temp near the op of the touchpad and zero in palm rest areas on either side. Even the hottest area on the underside is only comfortably warm on my lap, about the same as one of my kitties. (Hmmm...maybe not even that warm.) I've had it 3 weeks and use many hours each day. This is the first laptop that I can literally rest on my lap!

I do not know how hot the device gets as I had it placed on he USB port on the back of my PC. I have the device to my brother who was able to install it successfully on his PC which is MS7 64bit.

I normally use it with the stand on a flat surface. I never notice it running hot, nor has it had any service issues. I tried using flat for a few days, as in the picture,and it doesn't see any overheating issue or performance issues. I do not think it will hamper you if you use it that way. I hope this helps.

If you are using it for a serious gaming machine, it may shut down from overheating itself.Otherwise it seemed to cool itself fine.

Never had it overheat or stop or reject. Have used it up to 45 minutes continuous. This thing is an animal and I love it.

I agree. They should recall. It is a great device for the minute it works but overheating is a major issue. Don't waste your time buying. ;(
