What is the surface temperature if just plugged in and suspended in air?

Sorry I can't help you with that, but I don't believe it is good to have it plugged in if not mounted to something that can dissipate the heat. I have one stuck to the underside of a metal RV step and it will melt any ice within about 8-10 inches in any direction. I have it plugged in to a thermostatically controlled outlet, so that it shuts off if the temp gets above 45 degrees. I don't believe it would be safe to just plug it in and built up heat in ambient air.

Joel, What it will do is determine temperature from one area to another. for example I was checking dry wall temp and when I got to an outlet it indicated a significant difference in temp from the drywall to outlet. I was able to determine I had a significant amount of outside air coming through the outlet. It won't determine air movement but it worked very well as I described in locating cold spots that I could then investigate.

I have not tried that temperature. I would be very concerned with that temperature as it is close to the boiling point of water and that could compromise the battery or digital controls.

mine has gotten quite warm. I don't use it longer than necessary - only in emergencies, not as a substitute for a regular charge. I'd be careful where you place it while charging.

Not sure of the exact surface temperature but it does keep drinks hot. I did a quick 10 minute experiment with a mug of cold water from a faucet & it was lukewarm after 10 minutes. I don't know if it would've heated up fully if I had left it on longer. Also, without a thermometer to make my experiment a bit more scientific, I can't tell you exactly what the temperature difference actually was at the end of 10 minutes.

With the air temperature at about 11°F the water near the heater was at 42°F. I use an instrument called Kill-A-Watt to check the voltage at the outlet and the power drawn by an appliance. It seems your heater is not working or there is no power supplied to it.

410 degrees F....beware if this is not an authorized seller then sedu will not warranty the product. I found this out when the cord broke.

i am sorry i dont have an answer for you, however, to dry mine i plug it in for maybe 4hrs but, away from the wall it does become hot when it dries the particles inside. the stack on has a small hanger so i hang mine with an extension cord outlet

I could not venture to guess what temp the air blows out. But I will day this. It's a light warm air... my boots are usually drive in 2 hrs or so

I would like to use these to experiment generating electricity. What temperatures do they handle? Thank you

If I recall, the surface gets pretty warm. Not blazing hot, but you wouldn't want a toddle walking around it unsupervised, for example.

No. A little heat on the cord is normal but it shouldn't be hot. If it's plugged directly into the wall or a heavy-duty computer power supply strip on a thick, short extention, it should not be hot. Don't use an ordinary extension cord.

1,3 amps, nothing important since airflow is quite large operating time is pretty short for airbeds even a serious 10ft dinghy.

There are two temperatures settings. The person who said it was too hot may have been using High rather than low. I would be careful about where you place the cord to avoid tripping but yes, it should work.

Answer here...water is under 185F, but i even could not feel hot when i touch outside, just little warm.

Have not measured amps with meter, however the unit is at the end of a 15AMP wall-plug curcuit, and operates with no problem at 103F degrees cooling, and at -03F degrees heating.

It depends on the temperature. If your car is outside and the temp is below freezing you could keep it plugged in but you dont want it plugged in unless the air temperature calls for it. My useage is less extreme. I'm usually parked in a garage and the temperature "usually" stays above about 40 degrees in an average winter. So, in an average winter I would probably not plug it in at all. Last year was very cold; there were several weeks where the temperature was closer to 25 degrees in the garage and several times I couldn't park in the garage and the car was outside at about -10 degrees. Those kind of temperatures can really wonk-out a car battery. I had some starting problems and decided to get this heater ready for this year. This heat strap is kinda an insurance policy for out of the average temperatures that may occur this year. Guess what, I'm already using it. The temperature is 20 degrees below average today, 5 degrees F this morning and my car is sitting in the driveway because of a project in the garage.
