Many of the reviews say it does not get hot enough. Can you run the cycle twice for a hotter result?

I don't know how hot folks want it to get, but for myself, I did run the milk thru twice and it did seem to help.

Mine heats up to 140 degrees which is considered the right temperature for a Cappuccino. Some may find it not hot enough.

I just ordered a third machine. My first one heated the milk to 140°. The second machine heats the milk to 166°. 166 is too hot and will burn the milk. I believe these will shut off by thermostatic control. If the milk is not getting hot enough you probably have a defective machine. My experience, based on buying three of these is the quality control is all over the place! If your milk is not getting hot enough you have a defective machine. Send it in for replacement.

In contrast to steam frothing used by coffee shops, this product (as the Nespresso and others, froths the milk by steering and mixing it with air. By doing that the end result is a very thick foam that is not hot, and depends on the starting temperature of the milk and the ambient air. The results are similar if not better than the Nespresso frother, but at half the price. The "thickness" and consistency of the foam depends on the % of fat in the milk, the more the thicker.

yes, it works great! It does get hot pretty quickly, so keep it on something that can take the heat.

So, only use it for half an hour at a time, let it cool down, then continue with the project. Mine didn't over heat.

Sure you can turn it on again and it will heat up. I would turn it off asap to prevent burning or just make another smll or at dinner.

you can make multiple batches, it makes them small, so you would get multiple batches if you made the full recipe of anything. this machine gets scorching hot, so you have to be careful with the bottom burning. if i'm honest i don't really use it because it is more of a hassle than it is fun.

Good question. I don't remember reading of this capability in the literature but I went into my den and pulled the plug on the unit, waited for 30 seconds or so, repowered the unit and it cycled on. I highly recommend this unit. It's much quieter and heats better than others. Build quality is better also.

Sorry. Not that I am aware of. You should check to see if this has a continuous run rating for that purpose.

It won't even start if you don't have enough water in there. I never experienced it shutting down in the middle of a cycle but I'm not 100% sure it doesn't do that.

I've used it only a couple of times but love it. I had it running quite a while so it had opportunity to over heat but it didn't.

Has not been a problem with mine. I would suggest that the metal heating(expanding) and contracting((cooling) with these cycles could be the reason. Still works great for us after several years of consistent use.

Yes, but it really does not get hot. It is the only feature that isn't 100% great. I personally don't mind that it does not get hot.

It is possible. If you turn it to the max heat temp and use half hot and half cold you will have a very warm bath.

Yes you can, it doesn't get hot enough, the heat radiates from the bottom and it is just a nice warm heat, not hot.

Thank you for the question. I've never run out of hot water. The unit is in the bathroom of our woodshop. Two gallons of hot water is quite a bit to use at one time for me. I'm assuming that the unit would probably have to re-heat after it runs out. Other than that, I cannot say enough good about this little heater. It is wonderful for the application that I use it for.

I've heard the trick it to boil it twice. Boil it. Let it cool, then boil again.

"hot enough" may not help you. More specifically, two temp settings are approximately 480F/250C and 660F/350C.

Agree with all previously posted answers. HOWEVER, this model blows heat very unevenly and develops a very hot "hot spot" in the center. I would buy a different model that has more even heat dispersal.
