I have only used it a few times so, I don't know if the plug gets hot but I do know that my curls look really nice after using the dryer.

It does get hot but not the pack. The connection at the outlet gets very hot.

Mine just blew up in the area where the cord goes into the porcelain part. There was a loud pop and smoke. The innards of the porcelain part are burnt. I just got this in June 2014. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi! The unit doesn't get hot and it's compatible. If I had to buy another one I would choose a shorter one but since this one works fine, I won't replace it.

Yes mine is warm to the touch. The plug going into the outlet is not warm at all. Mine has been pluged in since april..so 10 months. It really works great. The second the power went off it started up....

The sides get warm after use but I have never had it get so hot I was uncomfortable. We have a two person household, so that may vary according to how many people you have using it back to back. I only unplug my unit when I am cleaning the sides or the under tray. I never unplug it after use or anything. Hope this helps!

When just charging it is ok but if you are using the laptop and plugged in then yes it gets hot, so does the laptop!!

I would say mine gets warm, but not hot. There's a fuse in there that should blow if it's pulling too much current.

Not at all...mine is still working away - almost 24/7 with at least one to three plugged in. It doesn't even get hot. Good luck finding out what's wrong.

I have only had mine for two months, but have had no heating problems at all. In fact, I've had no problems of any kind.

I plug mine into a regular plug and it will get hot enough to scorch food if not watched. I know you want the stuff in small print on the box but I have had mine for two years. I do like it, dinner veggy and dessert all on different power and all at the same time, It is for parties or for two people living alone as it is not big enough to cook for a family.

My unit has not over heated. If its really hot, I would think it is a defective unit.

If you plug it in and it fails to warm up, it's bad. Either the cord, plug or heating element has a defect. Make sure the out-let has power. Sometimes a circuit breaker in the basement has popped and there's no power on the outlet.

Its been my experience that leaveing it plugged in after dark the charge likes to feed back through the carge controler and heat up why i dont know but it does i would reccomend unplugging it as soon as it gets daark just to be safe..it does get kinda hot!

Mine does get hot..not really hot hot. It sounds like yours might be defective..perhaps you'll have to return it.

I don't remember it being hot. I would only worry if it was hot by the motor or plug. I have 2, been using for years without a problem.

I haven't had any problem with the plug on the one that I bought. I've had really good luck with mine and use it everyday.
