My unit gets much hotter to the touch than I'm comfortable with leaving it on. Why is that

Hello Sunshine007, Thank you for contacting Tools for Wellness. The unit needs to always stay on in order for it to be as efficient as possible. The successfulness of the units is the constantly filtered/ionized air by the ceramic core and unplugging the unit will recontaminate the room that you have the unit in. The top of the unit will be warm/hot to the touch. What your experiencing is normal. Please ensure that the unit is on flat surface, is not underneath any shelving units or is not right next to wall/furniture. A space of at least 1 foot needs to be free around the unit.

The unit is hot to the touch due to the ceramic material but it is safe to leave turned on.

Yes, of course it is hot to the touch, extremely hot! That is, when it works. But then it does not often work. So there is a trade-off here.

It gets pretty warm, but it won't burn you immediately. I can touch it but it's not comfortable. I've got it mounted on a wall and it doesn't burn the wall behind it.

I always sorta straightin out the cord a bit before use and also have my power unit where it won't get dragged around.. I keep mine in a shaded spot on a table and make sure the sun is not shining on the power unit. It seems to get a bit hot when not in the shade.

Good question! My unit has been running non-stop for at least 3 months. I just checked it for any trace of heat and there is none whatsoever, either on the unit itself, or in the air coming out, which is relatively cool. I have not owned the unit during a hot season, though, nor do I live in an area that normally gets extremely hot for long periods of time. (I live high in the mountains of Colorado where most people don't even have air conditioning.) Still, I believe that this unit won't contribute additional heat to your room.

Mine gets very warm/hot, but I can still touch it. I only run my vac for about 10 min at a time.

It gets warm to hot just in front of stove, particularly when the fan is off. Above and behind it not so much.

I could be an overheating issue.....when left in the on position for awhile it generates so much heat it turns itself off. I now have one that wont stay on more than 4 seconds on high and around 30 seconds on low..then the overheating sensor shuts if off. It seems once this happens it will always shut off instantly going forward.

The light is always on for me also, never noticed it to get much above slightly warm. However mine is mounted in a fairly open area so may just cool itself easier.

I don't know how hot yours used to get, but mine gets very hot. I can only use it on the lowest setting which is one out of four.

Try turning the. Thermostat setting higher so it's higher than the room temp.

It is an extremely low level of heat. I have forgotten and left it on overnight and it doesn't over heat.

I'm not sure, I've noticed that if I keep it on for a long time >3hrs, the heat becomes reduced.

That's the exact configuration I have. This does help. It's not as cool as I would like though. But it definitely cools it more than it was.

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.

Hopefully, you have air slots or vents in the hotter components. If you have air vented slots on the sides and bottom, mount the fan below, if you have vented slots on the top, mount the fan unit above to draw the heat away.If you have room in the rack to space the components from each other, that is best. It is a little noisy, but works well. If you can, put the fan closest to your most critical component that is effected by heat
