Does the outside of the iron heat up? ie the casing around the blades

I do feel heat in the casing but not an unusual amount as some heat is to be expected. I am still able to grip the iron wherever I please.

It does get hot. I use settings between 20 and 25 and I sometimes burn my scalp if I keep it on my scalp too long by getting too close

When you first plug it in it will not heat up unless you actually press the button(s) selecting which fabric/temperature you will be pressing. If you are idle for a while and the iron is not being used then the iron shuts itself off. I have only had this iron two months and it is already malfunctioning - while I am ironing/pressing, it will shut itself off and I have to re-press the button selection to get it going again. I am looking into buying an iron with a separate water resevoir so I can have continuous steam while pressing.

Well I tried with my iron and it did. I didn't have any damage or anything The only thing is thatbibused the hot tool in a low temperature

Have not had that particular problem so far. Every now and then it will spit out when the steam kicks in, but rarely. Could be I fill the tank too full. Overall, this iron has done the job I expected

Have not had a problem so far so I can't answer, perhaps clean with a vinegar solution. I also have a tendecy to agree with the other answer, Its not the greatest iron but for the price I could toss it and not feel guilty.

It goes up to 400 degrees. The iron works pretty well, I have not encountered any problems.

I have not taken it apart but the outside and the blades are stainless steel.It is a very smart looking fan.

That's probably ok. I ended up ruining mine be repeatedly heating it without anything in it (I kept getting the burner knobs mixed up). Eventually the enamel coating popped off the iron core. So there is some temperature sensitivity in the enamel coating. Granted, I was stupid. I should have been more careful. :(

Yes, I've done that and nothing has melted but the iron was closed and had cooled a little.

The sparks coming off is the iron and cerium creating a spark which is caused by being scraped with the blades harder surface. The blade will be fine for life.

Hot enough to melt the solder but not the came. Try it on a test piece of came...if the came melts, the iron is too hot.

yes. I put my curling irons right in after I shut them off and they are still hot. It is metal so it is fine.

No. The knives go in parallel to the rods so the rods surround the blades. Most of our knives are very sharp and I have not seen any damage to the rods. We have two and love them both.

Trisha T., The blade assembly that I received did not have a screw holding the blades to the main shaft. The blade assembly was pressed together on regular cold steel. This accounts for the rusting on the end of the shaft.I also use my blender daily.

the metal part gets hot but the surrounded area not really. hope that helps!

No. It's suprisingly well made and durable for a blade this inexpensive, but it is not traditionally heat treated.

You must have a bad one. Mine does not. Actually this is by far the best Iron I have ever used. Send them a note.
