Can this over heat? What is the time frame for use before it shuts off or gets to hot?

I used and never over heat and the time frame depend of the use and the surface to paint, I used for small surfaces in a limit of 1:30 hours and worked very good for me. I don't know if this can help you.

Hmmmmmm.... I wouldn't immediatly after. Maybe give it 5 or so min?!? I am not sure there would be anything heat resistant that would do the same job!

No it don't. And there's another big problem. If you use it for more than an hour it may overheat and stop. You will have to wait until it cools to turn it on again. It may take more than 30 minutes. The rest is great.

This is a great product! You can set it to hold your desired temperature for about an hour I believe, and then it'll shut off.

How long can I leave this on for at a time? and Does it keep the contents hot/warm?

It generates a bit of heat yes, but I've never had it overheat. Max ambient temp I used it in was I think 32C.

I would not recommend it. If it didnt over heat it would be severely underpowered!

I've used it on its highest setting and when I do, it doesn't take longer than about 10 minutes to cool down. With that said, the housing can get very hot. The top can get hot enough to burn you if it's on full blast.

It heats up to the temp chosen then when time starts running out it starts cooling off. It produces consistent heat for the time chosen. I always set mine for the max 60 mins

Hello-- Yes, I've used it up to nearly 2 hours, but it gets very hot, so be careful.

You can set the unit to run in 1 hour increments. It won't shut off until that time has been reached regardless of the temperature setting. (High or Low) It does not have an automatic shut-off if it falls over.

Not for me, this has not shut off on me at all in the two or more years ive had it. and i put it up to the highest heat of 490 degrees farenheit. so to answer your question, no it doesnt ever shut off on me

I did not see that in the discription. it says auto shut off feature. I think it means that if it over heats it will shut off. I love mine. However, I don't have pets or kids that would would bump in to it to tip it over. I also don't sleep with it on. just a safety thing for me. hope this helps.

Mine has never shut off due to overheating. The only safety shut off I know about on the unit is a spring loaded switch on the bottom. Make sure you can press it down and it springs back then try placing it on a hard surface, like the floor, to make sure the switch is pressing down and try it. If this doesn't work then the problem is inside the unit which means proceed at your own risk.

I'm not sure of an exact amount of time, I've used it for around two hours sometimes more. But if you turn it off between colors or cleaning, I don't think it should get too hot. I do have mine off the carpet though, I would recommend allowing air to flow around it. But overall I haven't burned my hand on it or anything like that. I hope that helps you.

Yes, but you have to use it quickly because it over heats and stops working until it cools down.
