What is the temperature for the "heat" air? I just bought one, but the "heat" air is not hot at all. It is well below my body temperature. Defective?

I could not venture to guess what temp the air blows out. But I will day this. It's a light warm air... my boots are usually drive in 2 hrs or so

Yep, it is only a 200 watt heater... blows cool air in my opinion. .. we have two of them.... both the same... we are returning one... ones without fan are 10X the drying /heating power. Regret the purchase

does not sound defective. it should be above room temp but I'm not sure the target temp. Mine is noticeable that it is warmer than environment but it is not hot. (have to ask.... heat is turned on?) It should not be hot because it might damage some materials and change the fit of a glove or boot.

I'll check with a thermometer later but it should be warm enough to notice. Also, it takes a few minutes to get rolling. I would suggest flipping the heat switch on and off about half a dozen times; the contacts may be oxidized if it was shipped through a moist location. Simply opening and closing the switch may be enough. I had the same trouble recently with some surge suppressors.

I have had mine for about nine months, so not during summer yet, but run it 24/7 and at speeds well above the minimum in a small room, and have never been able to tell that it is generating significant heat. At least, when I feel the unit itself it always seems to be at room temperature. YMMV of course, that is just my experience. ON THE OTHER HAND, I don't think you are going to cure dust problems running it on low all the time if you have as much dust as I do.

Temp wise, it doesn't hold a ton of heat like I have seen complaints with other brands. You should look into ones with the cooling gel if you like being cold.

I returned mine because it wasn't keeping 102 temp even at above 40 degrees ambient temp. I returned it for a refund but got stuck paying the shipping cost back which was very expensive.

I've had mine for two years. It's not overused, just twice a week for about 10 minutes each time. It feels normal - warm, not hot. Getting too hot to touch in 5 minutes sounds like an electrical problem?

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!

Mine doesn't get very hot either. I started on M and didn't think it was very hot so I turned it to H and didn't notice any difference. Just checked the temperature on H is 150 degrees F.

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-----

Probably a defective unit. Not holding heat--or not getting hot enough. Ask for a replacement. A reputable company will gladly exchange if within the warranty period

First, this is bad, but lets try to verify that you cannot get the temperature down. Please make sure you are 6 inches from a back wall, and what is the ambient temperature. I own four units. They work well enough. 54-59 degrees. Sadly, I just threw out my last empty box today!

Bought one some time ago, what I found out is the air flow is low volume. Hold your hand over the top and you will feel a slight air flow.I installed a small computer system (thermal logger) and download the data every 6 months to check on the temperature and humidity. My readings are consistant year round. hope this helps

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.

I love this unit. I actually have two because I have one at my office. I tested the warm mist feature just now and it did not get warm at all, even after 30 minutes.

I'm curious about this too. I set mine for 370 and as soon as it reaches the temperature it turns off. SO frustrating.

dear God return it if you can!!! I keep mine on 50-55% humidity. Not a temp. but a percentage of humidity. bad designed product, I exchanged mine 3 times in the last 3 years at home depot.....

I have no idea what the temperature is. It gets pretty hot and I think that's what happened to mine. I am guessing that it overheated and the motor burnt out??? No other reason for it to have stopped working after a few months and under 10 usages. Maybe someone else actually clocked the temp.
