does the power cord get hot

Not at all. Although it does draw enough when cycling active that you would not want some other high draw on the same circuit. This thing dry's my 2000 square foot lower level on auto and has really helped with musty smells! Way better than a conventional dehumidifier.

No, the power cord on the EDV-4000 does not get hot or warm. I also have a EDV2200 and an EDV1100 (they both have "transformer" type connections, similar to a laptop charging cord) and they get slightly warm to touch. I love all three of these dehumidifiers, I use the EDV-4000 in my utility room and the two smaller ones in my closet and in a small bathroom that does not have good ventilation. They work very well.

I have not noticed that the power cord gets hot. The unit will make the room it is in quite warm however. Very effective. I am happy with my purchase.

In the time I have used the unit, the power cord has not gotten hot. We went camping for 3 days last week and the unit pulled out 2 bucketfulls of water. Although it was humid outside, inside our camper was very comfortable.

Ours has been running on low speed for over 2 months straight and the cord is not hot.

It doesn't get hot.... but I woudnt keep it plugged in all the time. The cord may over heat more than the light itself.

Yes it does but it remains hot for a long time. It stays hot until you unplug it. I am really not happy with this unit as it has no temperature control. Look for a different model. Temp control is essential.

Mine does not. I use it frequently with various devices and it has never got hot. Even when I have left something charging overnight.

No it does not get hot. It gets warm but not untouchable. It barely radiates any heat.

Yes, it does get hot, but there is a fan. Mine has never overheated, but I haven't really put it to the test either.

Yes, it needs to be hot to work, but you can unplug it and it will continue to work for a while, when you get close to finishing or where the cord doesn't reach.

Carlos, it has an excellent power cord and power supply. I suppose that because right now in Belize, it is very hot here, so the unit does get rather hot, but it continues to perform without issue. I hope it continues to perform without issue.

Mine is warm to the touch but not excessive. The power supply is very warm though. I am going to look for a new one to replace it. Hope this helps.

It works very well and I have never had any problems.. The cord does not get hot and I leave on over night all the time. If it falls over, it shuts off. Very safe.

It does get hot after use but just don't touch that part- not hard to avoid. It cools down fairly quickly

No. It only gets warm when there is a load on it approaching its rated wattage.

yes it does get quite hot....i usually have to grab a potholder to hold onto it so it won't burn my hand

We use it watching TV through ear phones. It's outstanding. The power cord does come with it. It's never heated up at all. Hope this helps. Ken

No. I had to try it out before putting it in my son's room but it does not get hot to the touch.

No, it didn't get hot. I used it both ways, first with only the adapter, then I put in batteries and it is portable.
