I have 4 of these and the last time I used them 1 of them was hot to the touch the others felt normal. Is it bad?

I would think yes it's not good. Maybe there is a crack/leak inside. But I'm not an expert.

Yes it is really bad. This is obvious factory defect. The main purpose of this unit is to insulate and contain internal high temperature from external cooler temperature and prevent or slow down as much and as long as possible process of cooling hot liquid down. This unit probably has internal crack or leakage of hot liquid in to insulating space between internal container and external walls, or it has no insulation material in that space. Just my logical opinion.
1104559
Yes. As someone already mentioned, the loss of heat through the exterior wall indicates a serious insulation issue. It can't keep anything hot if the heat is escaping.

I'm assuming you had something hot inside. That is not normal. It normally means you've lost the insulating capability of the unit. I believe these are vacuum sealed. It sounds like you've lost that seal.

I use mine primarily for hot chocolate for my son's swim team. Not once was it hot to the touch. I usually put hot water prior to putting in the hot chocolate. Maybe something is wrong with the 1 you have.

I think is normal I use it to charge my wife's GS3 and my LG G2, both get hot, mine a lot hotter, but still change without problems.

I don't know if this normal but mine has continued to work even though it gets hot.

I have 3 of these with one in use most of the time. None of mine ever even get warm. I love them!

Mine gets pretty hot, I charge 5 battery power packs. Not sure if it is too much or not, I just hope the circuitry shuts it off incase it gets too hot...

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.

I have not had any problems with it. The main suggestion is to be sure that the unit is pushed to the "off" position before laying it down after you have finished with it. Like anything else, left unattended it could burn someone or something, especially while still hot. Listen for the "hiss"--no sound, it is usually off. When in doubt, remove the thermal unit. It's great not being restricted to using an outlet.

Mine is hot too since I started to use it. I have to unplug it when I don't use it.

I don't think it's normal. That is why I returned mine. Would not run for more than a few minuets before overheating and the safety would shut it off. I know of people who have had success with it but not me and looks like not you either. I'd return it because overheating that quickly could lead to blown fuses or fire.

I never had a problem with mine and I have four of them. Maybe yours is defective?

I have been using two of them for about a year and have not noticed any heat. The previous brand that I used would get quite warm, though.

Hi we use ours everyday sometimes for 6 to 8 house and we have never noticed a heat problem. It is activated now and it is cool to the touch.

It gets hot enough where if I am drying something small and my hands are near the tip (heating area-coils) it's burning hot! But it's not dangerously hot as long as you use it correctly. I love mine! And bought 12 more for my students!

Lucky for you. I only used mine once. It got so hot I was afraid it would damage my phone. Send it back and get a refund. Not worth ruining a phone.

I agree that the heat feature is either set too low or is not really working. Since we wouldn't use it very much, it isn't an issue for me. My wife hasn't complained either so-----

I have never had issues with overheating during normal use. However, I would caution that this is a sealed protective case. If you are having heating issues and the weather isn't terribly hot and/or direct sunlight is not the issue causing the overheating this case will not be any better than cases you have used in the past.

I've had mine since the middle of August and I have not noticed any abnormal problem with heat. Maybe an isolated incident.
