Does not get hot enough

When I first got the machine was very impressed.  The stainless machine is beautiful. Made first latte and it was okay. Nothing great. My niece had the latissimo and she made me a latte  It was great. Needed a little zap in the microwave  The vertuoline coffee is only warm not even hot. I talked to support and they were wonderful. She told me it will never get steaming hot. Returning mine today. I do intend buying another one  this one just didn't work for me. My husband said the same thing about his coffee.  On the plus side the support is wonderful.  Would love to buy one that really gets hot

I  am not very pleased with this heating wrap around  as you can't get it down to warm so I have to turn it on and off as it gets to hot  I would not buy this again  I bought this a while back so it's to late to send it back, I still use it  but they need to fix that Problem.

The convection function doesn't get hot very quickly, it doesn't get hot enough, and it doesn't stay hot during cooking.  It looks nice, its not TOO loud, but for this price I want the convection function to work like it should.  Disappointed in Cuisinart this time, which is unusual.

This particular item when installed correctly does get hot and works but it don't stay hot?

It's just not hot enough. For the price this is a disappointing problem. I can't enjoy a luke warm cup of coffee. Nespresso definitely needed to do more field testing on this one.

It seems to get hot but does not keep the coffee hot. I had to place 2 pennies stacked on top of each other so that contact is made with they bottom of the cup to keep it warm.

Heats fine.  Is heavier than my old one, but that's OK.  The real problem for me is that it doesn't cool down when switched off.  Even when unplugged, it stayed warm for over an hour!

This thing needs a High Med Low setting cause the only setting it has is Low. I made a cup of really nice organic Japanese Shade grown tea ($40 an ounce) and asked my wife to bring me an ice cube to warm it up after it had been on the heater for 10 minutes. The pad gets pretty hot, but not near hot enough to keep a cup of coffee hot. After something has been sitting on it for about 10 - 15 minutes you can gulp it with no fear of getting burnt. A Worthless piece of Crap. I will see if it works as a candle warmer.

Just got this delivered today.  Puts out a good amount of heat for such a small unit, and the simulated flames are ok, everyone likes the look.  However, there is no control of the heat.  There is a dial with min on one side, and maximum on the other, but it does not change the amount of heat, and it never cycles off.  If its on it's running full blast.  I'm really disappointed, I can not run this heater while sleeping.  I wanted to set it on low heat and run it all night.  Also the fan is bit noisy.

Looks good but doesn't generate enough heat. Still a pretty good quality and draw lots of attentions. I like it!

This thing gets extremely hot!!! You have to let it cool way down to be able to touch it. We use it with a dimmer lamp so we can adjust the heat.

I don't like it as much as my older one. It is bigger and it gets very hot  to the touch on the outside. My other one did not.

The power supply overheats. Even at idle there is a hot spot on the side. It must be defective, a high efficiency supply at no circumstances should dissipate this much heat.

Have trouble getting it started, it maxes out at about 400 degrees after everything being on and covered 1/2 hour with everything as hot as it goes. Very confusing the way the knobs regulate heat is way to finite. It just says hi! We just can't get it hot enough or lit easily. Would not recommend it!
It looks nice but we bought it to cook on!

While this is really cute (with the folding spoon on top and all) and just the right size for a big bowl of soup, it does not keep the food hot until lunch time. I even filled the thermos with boiling hot water about an hour before putting in my food. Now, I didn't fill it all the way full with my hot food. Would that make a difference? I don't know, but I was sorely disappointed to open my insulated lunch bag to find my insulated thermos did not keep my food even close to hot.
