I have been using this warmer for three months and didn't face any problems, even the power cable is secured. I recommend it.

The unit itself is good but I caution you when buying one used, there are crucial elements and parts to make sure this device will perform properly and safely. Here are some things that may raise a red flag, bent or damaged power cord and if the heat sync is dented and bent it may affect the way the unit cools and could lead to a malfunction therefore it may become a fire hazard and will definitely break fire codes if this is being used for commercial\business uses. So please consider these concerns and comments when conducting your research as well as purchasing decisions.

I still don't recommend the model with the push button. The button on my model melted after 2 months. When the repairman came to service it, he mentioned that it was a frequent repair issue. When it melted again last year, Sharp offered to give me a discount on a new one, since it was no longer under warranty, only after I posted many scathing reviews. I declined since I had to return the old one and it was just too much work and I didn't like the cheap models that they were offering. I purchased a new button and installed heavier springs. It's working fine now. One other issue with my model is that according to the instructions, the fan is supposed to go on automatically when the heat from the burners reaches the unit. Mine never did. Again, I would avoid the push button models.

No...it's a terrible product and so disappointed. I actually trash it! I would not give the machine to anyone as I was afraid a child may get burned with it. The machine gets very hot!!

I think it wld be dangerous bcs liquid wax might ignite (?). When it's burning most candles give off a black soot u don't notice till later--when it's all over blinds, cabinets, etc.--main reason I prefer warmer.

my family has made pizzelles fr 3 generation. We love our pizzelles but you seem to be making commercial size orders and the fact you have burned out several "I would call this a human malfunction" and just as you said you have burned out several. Iam surprized your cording did not over heat and have a flash electrical fire. Just my family's opinion. We do have 2 electricians and 2 electrical engineers and they said check w manufacture for this issue. We bakers have several different models and have no problems.

HiI used it a couple of times and it gave a nice warm glow. I tested it and found that it was able to keep a person warm for several hours. I had trouble a couple of times when I lit the heater. It was probably because I was a green horn just hadn't used it before. I think it is a great buy.Frostbyte45

The manufacturer said in the instructions that it's ok to turn it on 30 minutes before you go to bed. I used to turn mine all the way up, then turn it down when I got into bed after 30 minutes or less. As I mentioned in my review, I noticed some mild scorching on and around the pillow area. I'm uneasy about using it now. When I do, I only turn it to 1 or even 0-1. I still use it as a mattress pad, but I have to be chilled to the core before I turn it on. I'm not making any accusations. I'm just saying use a little caution. My in-laws' woke up to discover their electric blanket in flames, so I'm a little gun shy.

No the one you purchase is not hot and is simply a practice unit with out the burning sensation it is a great training unit.This will not defend you in any way it is important to understand this.If you have any more questions just go ahead and message me I have no problem answering questions. Have a nice day.

Unit is not hot at all. I have little ones around too, and there is not a heat issue, though the enticing buttons are easy for little ones to get to ... such temptations! The cord is more of a concern to me than children (or this grandma!) getting burned.

Thank you G. Hadzima-- Your suggestion is excellent, I think. Yes, the BN reader with Glowlight isn't that expensive and ANY light would be better. It's a shame that I can't move books from my Kindle to the Nook, but that is hardly surprising. Glad you like yours-- many people HAVE liked them and I know you are right: people are far more likely to disparage a product than report that it performed as expected. Yep, if I get one that really underperforms I'm sure I can return it. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I do appreciate it! -PAM

DO NOT USE ON TODDLERS unsupervised! and seniors with thin more fragile skin. If you are thinking about using them for a age group with thin or tender skin like a toddler or senior, put them in a Pot Holder pouch, this reduces chances of burning, check often, if the skin turns pink, remove as the product needs more padding. It's to hot for that person with out more padding. Each of the different products they make rise to a different heat level. The large 18 hr one reaches up to 140 degrees, and can blister unprotected skin. I use the small hand ones, but I still put them in a Pot Holder pouch. Which in turn I pin in place over the area of my lumbar that hurts, and I can't get fixed. It's like having a 24 hr heating pad. If I didn't use the Hot Hands I would not be mobile, as it reduces the pain level. The smaller hand size do not get as hot as the larger ones. Not tried the ones for feet or that stick to your skin. As a senior, my skin is fragile, so I steer clear of anything that adheres to my skin. Hope my experience with Hot Hands has helped answer your questions. They are safe to use, read the directions though. Be aware of the fragility of the skin of the person who is using them. I can handle the small ones with out padding for a short while with my hands, but to put it on the more tender skin of my back, I use the Pot Holder to mute the heat to a lower level, which makes it just like low on a heating pad that you plug in. The key is the person's skin fragility, because even on low a plug in heating pad can burn a person. Which is why the newer ones have a 2 hr timer in them.If they are going into mittens, you could wrap them in some thing like a wash cloth to mute the amount of heat. Keep checking at area, if it is pink it is going into the burn phase.

Save your money. IF you get one that works it will not last long before the flame does not shut off when the button is released. The two I bought were sent back, as requested by the vendor to be replaced and were never seen again nor was my account credited. I'm out the price of the two lighter plus the eight dollars of return postage. Good Luck.

If you go to consumerist dot com, the comment mentioned that the fire was the result of people not cleaning the filters. I just got my unit, I'll make sure to fastidiously clean the filters.

7/5/2014 Good Day Rayn, You should STOP using this item, this is a fire hazard. You could be injured. Contact the seller you purchased this from, as common sense would dictate this is NOT how it should work and there is no fixing it. Sincerely, Customer Service Dept. JoyToyShop
