The hose seems to get very warm, is it okay?

Yes that is because ut is removing heat. You should wrap it with insulation tape for better efficiency..

Yes - our hose also got warm - but after checking it - several times - it was fine. Though warm - and after checking it on and off for the 14 hours the air conditioner ran - I don't believe it is a hazard at all. We love our unit - and are glad we bought it!

As long as the hose is vented outside to blow the hot air out, it's fine. Mine gets quite warm too, as it pulls the warmth out of the air in the room & moves it outside.

Make sure ur window is open to vent the hot air. the hose sould not get to hot.

The vent hose/pipe may get warm as it is venting the hot air outside. If it is the water drain/condensation hose I don't know why it would get warm.

I've had this unit for over a year, and while the hose does get warm, it seems to cause no problems. The unit works very well for us.

If its actually too hot to touch then thats bad, but if its warm I think thats normal. I tested mine by turning it up to 6 for a few minutes and thats all it took to get it warm. I supposed if I left it for hours at 6 it would feel quite warm. I don't think its a big deal.

Barely noticeable. I have not noticed the machine getting overly hot either. It seems to stay quite cool to the touch

It does lose some flexibility when in the cold which I would expect and my hose has been exposed to zero degrees. What I would do is take the hose to a warm place, then quickly take it to the cold environment after you have warmed the hose and hook it up in the cold environment . Unless your going to move the hose around in the cold allot I think your going to have to live with the stiff hose. I hope this helps. Jeff

I have never noticed the handle and hose being that hot, but the steam output vents are very hot! Always grab the steam head handle so that steam vents point away from you. The base is stable provided common sense is used while steaming--example, hang clothes correctly and don't twist the hose while in use. I have never had the steamer tip or even come close. The water tank is situated in the base as well, and that helps add stability too.

I've only had the chance to use mine once and it worked fine. It was quite hot. Call the mfg as you may have a defective hose.

Maybe if you run it a long time. Mine has never gotten very hot. I haven't had to pump up 4 flat tires or anything though. Parts get warm but it's not something that I have felt to be a problem. If I use it to top off tires or pump up just one tire, it can be put back in its bag right away or if its warm, by the time I put the hose away, the pump is cool. Over 5 years, mine has never been an issue. Used to get nails and flats all the time but since I started carrying this and a good plug kit, the devil doesn't bother me in that way now.

There is a small dust port under the cord,and mine came with a hose to connect to a vacuum! Yes it does get warm but not hot when used for a time ! I use mine clamped upside down, mostly !!

If you're talking about the tight fit of the hose onto the connector you do want it to be tight. You can warm it as previously stated. I used a little saliva on it and that worked well enough.

I have never seen it get hot. It may get warm, but it is reflective silver, and attached to a metal hose bib with water in it.

I would guess that it would probably do better than most other hoses. To get a better answer I would suggest you contact the company direct. We leave ours out all year and we live in So. Cal. We have fairly hot summers, 100+.

It is warm right away. Occasionally there is a slight rise in temperature after the initial start of warm water.

Mine has been warm ever since I got it. I've been using it for months now without a problem. It's sitting on a shelf in the garage and I propped it up with an extra nut that I had in my toolbox to make sure there was some airflow.It's just noticeably warm, not hot. I can keep my hand on it. So far, so good.

most of the heat comes from the tubes... and they are in the open. I wouldn't touch them after it has been on for a while.. they are very hot.

I've found that if the hose stays in the shade, then it's cool enough to drink right away. If any part of the hose is in the sun, however, then the water in that area does heat up... :(

there is a rubber insert between the handle and it does stay cool to the touch, it might depended on how much heat you are using but for the most part i think you would be ok.
