reviewer that says it overheats fast, will instructions advise me as to what setting I should keep it at?

Reviewer should send it back,or get some one who is a specialist on search to check it out.I use setting at 4, I hope he have the iron shoe, if not get one.

Fortunately I haven't had the problem the other reviewer refers to. I sew for a living and this iron is on for about 6 to 8 hours a day. Yes, they mention a bit about settings but depending on the material you are using and the amount of steam you are applying... the setting will depend. I use setting #4 (settings run #'s 1-5) the most for 100% cottons and corduroys. I bump up to #5 for heavy canvas. These are the materials I use most. I would suggest you try the various settings on the material you use to determine what works best for you since this iron is nothing like a retail/home use iron. My last iron was an Oliso and while I loved it...it just couldn't keep up. Sputtered and splattered all over the place. IF you purchase the Sapporo, be sure to purchase the demineralizer to extend the life of your iron. If you purchase this iron, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Keep it @ 2/3, I find it keep it on the low side with the water at a good level. Change the heat setting according to the fabric after you feel you may need more ..,I suggest using it with a power strip to control the surging.

I'm about to put a review up, but I've had it for 3 weeks and it does get VERY hot. Much hotter than a 17" I had and hotter than a 15.4" I had. I mean like I didn't know it was safe for it to run this hot, and this is straight out of the box. However, I game for significant periods of time and I haven't had an overheat. Someone in newegg said this thing gets to 64 degrees C with a cooler, and that is accurate. If you buy this for gaming, I would reccomend a cooler (that shoots air to the front of the computer, since that's where the vents are) and u shud be fine. It comes with a free 2 yr accidental dmg warranty (if you register it w/ asus by mailing them a small slip that comes w/ the computer), so send it back if it does overheat.

The Acer aspire V5 stays relatively cool during hours of intense gaming. I will often play for 8 to 10 hours in a single sit down and I have never had a problem with it over heating. I have no idea what the actual temperature runs at though.

It does generate a lot of heat and occasionally the fan will speed up to cool the CPU. I don't know if it overclocks itself, have never checked but given the heat it puts out normally I wouldn't be surprised if it might overheat. Wouldn't be my first choice for a gaming PC. Otherwise, it is crisp, powerful and solid.

it should do just fine. if you experience overheating get you a little cooling fan for it.

I use 5000. It's fast and my kids have a blast with it. But the only thing u must get is the cooling fan. It won't over heat with it

Fyi people, if your system is already overheating this isn't going to stop it! You need to open it up, clean it and inspect to ensure your internal fans still work.

I agree with you, just got my machine and it is set at 192 but it cools quickly

This should be fine. I leave mine on for eight hours at a time with no overheating problems.

I never experience a situation of over heating, but I need to let you know that this equipment is in our country house, and not used in the day by day. Hope it helps.

I don't know if you have purchased already but my overheated so much I don't use it. I called to have it replaced which they did and still generates so much heat I don't use this one either. I have a cover that comes down to cover my burners in the stove and that is the only place I can use it with confidence that it will not burn anything around it. Be careful. jfkflyguy-Dan

My unit has not over heated. If its really hot, I would think it is a defective unit.

It shouldn't be over heating, but a cool down period is normal after a safety shutdown. I run mine for a solid hour, most times. Be sure you are grinding items recommended for the mill. If it is quickly overheating under normal operating conditions, you may have a defective unit.
