Just bought this, not sure if the heat is working or not. Does the area physically turn red when heat is on? Not sure if it is getting warm or not.

No, it does not turn red. It does not get really warm, especially if you are wearing heavier clothing like at this time of year. Give it time, 5-10 minutes to warm. If you don't feel it by then, something's not working.

As best I can tell, it does not turn colors. I can usually feel the heat within 5-10 minutes. It can get uncomfortably hot before it times out, requiring it to be turned off.

The picture is deceiving. The heat on the seat doesn't get red, but the button you press to turn the heat on does. I hope this helps. Press the heat button and wait for a few minutes - you should feel it.

No, the area does not turn red. It takes several minutes for the area to heat up. Not sure of the exact temperature, but it just gets very warm, not super hot. For me, the vibration feature is better than the heat, though the heat can be nice.

No, the area remains black, however if you touch the area with the heat on you will feel a difference. but it does not get extremeley ho, just mild heat

I have had my stove for over a year and a half, and have had no problems with the cord getting hot. I have bought this stove as a gift for a friend and he has had no problems, either. As the others say, I'd check your outlet .. try another electrical item in the same plug and see if it gets hot.

I've never noticed mine do that, but if I had to make an educated guess, it would be that your use of the flat iron is cooling it down to a temp lower than what you have it set at, turning the ready light red. If I am accurate, I would also assume it would very rapidly come back to temp and turn back to green. If it does not rapidly change back to green or is changing to red when you haven't used it, I would guess you have a defective product.

As I recall, the red charging light goes out when it's charged. I felt no heat on the unit after leaving it plugged in when charged.

Mine started sending heat immediately, but I don't use it often as it's in my utility room. When I turned it on I feltnheat right away while I stood underneath it.

Mine does that also sometimes. I am very unhappy with this product. Half the time it doesn't heat up either. This is the second one I have purchased and I will never buy another one again. I am going to Walmart to get another one. I just bought one from Walmart at a way lesser price and it works great.

Hey Josh,Mine does have a reddish indicator light when I plugged it in and set the temperature I wanted. Is yours not showing that??

That is what it is supposed to do. You do not want it to glow red hot, That would make it a bit unsafe for a shop or any space you might be creating any sort of dust in. Start the unit up an hr. or so before going into the work space to warm it up. This is the best little shop heater I have ever used. Just give it some time

I've got five of these that I use to heat my house. You may have placed the unit in a location where the air doesn't flow well, so it gets hot locally, but not throughout the room. Or you are not giving it enough time for the size of the room and its coldness. Against a blank warm wall with nothing in front seems optimal. The unit actually cycles a lot while heating up a room, otherwise the marker would glow red all the time. When the room temperature stabilizes I find the marker should be off or only dimly red.

Yeah had the same issue. Headed up with in 10 mins of use. The manual does mention not to use it for prolonged periods though. Mine didn't last too long after it started heating up

Mine has never has done that. I noticed it gets very hot in use. I would call the manufacturer or check on their support page.

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.

Do you mean the heat? It is pretty good! I love it. As a matter of fact, some times, it gets too hot and I turn it to low. Good buy, so far!

Hmmmmm I never tried mine until I installed it but that don't sound good. You made sure you had somthing in it to heat up because if there is nothing inside you won't feel any heat.

My XL heater cabinet does not get hot, nothing gets hot that i know of on the furnace, the heat warms the air and furniture ....got one for my granddaughter's room, she's 4, I have found to be very safe! However, I would not put my finger on the heater front port, don't know if it is hot or not....re emergency, i would turn it off with the remote

I too haven't had any issues. There are heat settings that you can adjust. If it doesn't heat up, you may have a defective unit.

I had mine plugged in for a few months - only using it occasionally - and one night when I wasn't using it, started flashing red in the middle of the night - it didn't turn the heat on while it did this. It didn't stop when I used the control so I unplugged it and replugged it in and it's been fine. Nothing in the manual about that. If it does it again I will call the manufacture.
